While the Hilton was calling all the media houses and their partners, trying to explain to them, Logan went back inside and turned on the televison in the room. He initially wanted to enjoy watching the news but when he saw that the paparazzi were in the company giving Ava a hard time, he stopped moving for a second.

He could barely see the head of his wife because she was literally surrounded by tons of reporters and this is being broadcasted live. Logan dropped the remote and rushed out with immediacy, if he could fly, he'd do that right now.

No one bothered to ask him where he was going, no one even notice him leaving because of the tension. Logan had known that whatever he will do will affect Ava but he still did it, as much as he is interested in her, he won't forgive her family for humiliating him all the time.

He entered into his car and drove off, not caring about it befiting her family's already stained image or not. He is not going there to chase the paparazzi away but to

    "What? Don't you think it's too much? You already have the right to make decisions in the company since you are a shareholder but 10% shares?" Ava addressed as a frown naturally appeared on her face. Even as the vice president, she doesn't have up to 25% percent of shares. "I am a very busy person, you can call me when you are ready" Daryl said at the verge of ending the call when Ava interrupted. "I will ask my Dad to transfer the shares to you" she blurted, not bothering to think about it twice.

    Logan furrowed his eyebrow in confusion, what is he doing here even after Ava got married? "It's okay Grandpa, despite the fact that our marriage fell through, Ava is still my friend and I still love her as one. You can come to me if you need any little help, I am always ready to help" Alex spoke with his emphasis on the 'love' and 'friend'Although he doesn't know what their relationship is, if Ava will marry a stranger instead of him that's her 'friend' then, their relationship is messy. They definitely doesn't get along and are not friends so why is Alex saying that to gain favour from the Hilton family? What are his intentions?

    The next morning came by quickly and just as he thought, Logan didn't sleep a wink. He was roaming around the house untill morning, he couldn't sleep since memories of the past were coming back as nightmares. "Why are you awake so early?" Ava asked, yawning and getting herself out of the bed. "I am not a morning person I think" he replied with a shrug. It's true that he wakes up early but then, that wasn't the case today. He just didn't find himself sleeping. She got out of the bed, heading into the bathroom. It was their first night together on the same bed yesterday and they just slept without bothering the other. Logan was seated on the chair in front of the mirror, all of a sudden, he decided to instigate her to see her reaction. "Some Alex guy was here yesterday, he claimed to be your friend" Ava froze on the spot the moment those words rolled out of Logan's mouth. She staggered and held the wall for support, the expression on her face changed into that of fear and disgust.

    Without having to take permission from anyone, Logan left the mansion in the same car he was warned to discard. How can he throw something he just got away because his grandfather In-law said so? And if he had done that, how will he be transporting? Using public cars? He is not used to that, Logan can't even remember the last time he used that.

He will have to rest if he gets there before the meeting because it's still early hours of the morning. It's past 9am.

"Good morning Clark""A package arrived very early in the morning today for you, Alfred asked me to keep it till you get here" he explained handing a wrapped delivery for him.

    After making the declaration, no one countered to it since they believe that Logan will take care of any situation just fine. They don't have to worry about him. "When is the general meeting with the other mafia families again?" Logan asked. "Thursday next week, by 7pm" Alfred replied"Please one of you should remind me of it next week, I know a lot of people doesn't want me there but I wish to attend""Noted Blue" Alfred replied, bowed and left the brothers to talk. "I hope sister in-law didn't starve you today? Have you taken breakfast?" Daryl asked sitting back on the couch. Logan haven't told him about moving into his wife's family mansion, Daryl will think he is crazy if he gets to know. "Of course I have, my in-laws were so kind to let me have breakfast with them" Logan replied, nodding his head. "Does that mean that they spent the night in your apartment? Why? Do they think you are going to run away with their daughter?" Daryl queried. "They think I will run away with her

    Once Logan got home after the meeting with his members, it was already few minutes to five. When he checked the time, he knew that he had taken a lot of time there and reversing the time is not something he can do. When he got into the living room, he met Mrs Hilton, Ava's Mum seated on the couch with a women fashion magazine in her hand while the television was on, probably dividing her attention or focusing on one. She didn't bother raising up her head or say anything until Logan moved closer to her. "Good evening Mum" he greeted. Mrs Hilton raised her head, and dusted the dustless magazine in her hand. "I wonder where you went to, did you finally go looking for a job or you've gotten one?" she asked without having to beat around the bush and Logan got what she meant but why is she asking him that question all of a sudden? "Yes Mum, I went looking for a job but I was asked to come back tomorrow" he lied smoothly knowing that he won't get caught. "Don't do any work that will red

    Everyone was already seated on the table when the couple joined them. "You come late even to the dinning table now? Your influence on my daughter is not welcoming" Mr Charles Hilton spat, directly speaking to Logan who unconsciously raised a brow. So everything is now his fault? Wow! They all are doing too much, way too much. "Did you see that father? He doesn't respect me" Mr Charles Hilton whined after seeing the kind of face Logan made. Grandpa Hilton cleared his throat and looked up to Logan who was directly seated opposite him. "I haven't seen you clean since you moved in here, are you flagging my order?" he asked, his face at that moment held no expression aside that of seriousness. He wasn't joking or spewing nonsense. Logan couldn't help but choke on nothing? Him? Was he actually serious when he said that Logan should join the cleaning team? That's absolute degradation. "What are you to talking about Grandpa? Was that what you discussed with him? How can you make your gr

    The next day, Logan was home almost throughout but then, he had a little bit of peace since none of the Hilton were at home. It seemed like they went on a family trip but that can't be because Ava is at the office. They wouldn't have a family hangout without her or so he thought.Whatever the case might be, Logan is grateful that none of them were around. Around 5pm in the evening, Logan took his bath and went out. Daryl didn't miss the perfect timing, he was already outside waiting for him in one of his car that gives Logan a commanding aura. But of course, it was a few walks from the Hilton mansion."He's finally here" Daryl said, the excitement in his voice was beyond imaginable. "Why are you excited? You are not the one that's going to fight" Logan spoke while getting into the car. Living two lives is really exhausting, how do people with personality disorder cope? Or is their own case different from his?"I am excited that I am going to watch people who are boxing, it gives me m

    New Beginning

    One month later...It has been a month since the demise of Grandpa Hilton. He left a note blaming himself for everything that happened and asked Charles Hilton and Ava for forgiveness including Logan. In his letter, he stated that he wouldn't be happy if he lived knowing that he wouldn't have a good relationship with his son again and their family name was already in the mud because of him.His death was a surprise to Logan but it didn't hurt him as much as his family. Maybe it was his way of paying for his sin, Logan didn't have to kill him, he died on his own."You are going to see sister-in-law today?" Daryl asked as Logan sat down at the dining table with them. Logan nodded his head. After Valentina and her father left, Logan has been managing his companies as the CEO. He goes to work like every other boss and does his responsibilities at the office. Valentina became a good friend of his before they left although she didn't stop being flirtatious with him. They talk on the phone

    Unexpected death

    Logan was in the bathroom for close to an hour, he just stood under the shower and allowed the cold water to pour on his body. He turned off the tap and came out dripping wet in a towel.He dried himself, changed into his pajamas and climbed the bed while checking his mail. Logan restored his old account with the name "001" and also made it public. He knew that people were still looking for his talent up till this moment and it won't take them time to start getting in touch with him again. He checked his inbox, just like he predicted, messages were waiting for him in his inbox. Two were from the company Ryan was supposed to restore their systems and websites before Logan hacked into it and uploaded those pictures and videos while three more were from different companies. He opened the first two messages from those companies, they were asking for his help promising to give him any amount he wanted as long as those things could be removed with an explanation so that their companies

    Apologies, forgiveness and a request

    By the time Logan got home, everyone was already having dinner. "You are late Blue, have you had dinner?" Daryl asked upon seeing Logan entering into the kitchen. "Not yet, maybe later" he replied and grabbed a bottle of water to drink. "What's the difference between later and now? You might even forget to eat later, so why don't you join us now let's have dinner together. Come on" Daryl persuaded. Seeing everyone's attention on him, Logan felt defeated and sent to sit at the table with them. The maids served his food and he began eating. "How was your first day? Did the lady trouble you?" Daryl questioned. He'd be the only one who would always bombard Logan with unending questions that no one else would. "I don't even want to talk about it, I have to do it just for a year" Logan replied and everyone on the table began coughing. "A year?" Alfred blurted out the question. Realization dawned on Logan and his mouth curved into an 'O' His thoughts were being invaded even as he was

    Take her back

    "I need to take this call" Logan raised his phone in the air. Valentina nodded and stood up from his chair to a more quiet place with his brows furrowed in surprise. Just how fast does he recover? It was just yesterday or two days back that Logan told Doctor John about the injection."To what do I owe this surprise call from you, Mr Hilton Gardener?" Logan called. He could hear the steady breath of Grandpa Hilton from the other end of the phone. His breath was steady but a little ruffled. A"Logan" Grandpa Hilton called in a faint tone, Logan barely managed to hear his name. "I am Mr Weston to you, I am no longer your grandson-in-law so stick to formalities when talking to me" Logan fired. If there is anyone he hates most in the Hilton family, that will be Grandpa Hilton. He is the most dark-hearted person among them. "Why did you call me? Do you want more of the injection? Or are you sad that you haven't seen me in days?" Logan mocked. Grandpa Hilton let out a deep sigh. It was obv

    A call

    Logan started at Valentina as if she just said something impossible, he was not sure if he heard her right or probably, he was probably the one reading meanings to it. "What?" He queried. "I am very certain you heard what I said anyway. I want us to be friends, can't I ask for that much?" Valentina questioned feeling disappointed. "Why will you want to be friends with me? For what reason?" He threw the question at her. There should be no reason she would want to be friends with her, they are total strangers who are meeting for the second time today. "Because I want to communicate with you, maybe if we are friends, you will talk more" Valentina gave her reason. Logan nodded his head without saying anything. Right from childhood, he never had any friends. He was the type of kid that everyone avoided because of his physical strength. He usually beats people who find him trouble without giving them another chance to do that again. That made a lot of people his age stay far away from

    Let's be friends

    Logan had to turn back to see who shot the gun. The gun was shot to the ceiling Andrea, it was just to scare Kelvin and it worked. He laid down flat on the floor together with his sun. Logan walked up to the little boy, picked him up from the floor, and smiled widely at him. "What is your name?" Logan questioned. "Jesse" The boy answered in a baby accent, he couldn't even pronounce well."Jesse" Logan repeated it with a nod. He took a sweet from his pocket and handed it to him then turned to Kelvin with a smirk."I am curious to know how you will react if I pull a bullet into your son's skull right now. He will die because of your stupidity. Don't blame me when that happens" Logan threatened knowing very well that he couldn't do that. "Please don't hurt my son, I am sorry I will pay back your money now" Kelvin pleaded. Everyone in his family will abandon him if anything happens to Jesse because of him."Ah! I thought you said you didn't have the money to pay babe but now you have

    Bodyguard

    "What do you say Blue? Do you want to be my daughter's bodyguard?" Mr Valdez questioned. Logan had to agree by nodding his head. "Don't bring her with you next time, I will turn down your request then Mr. Valdez" Logan retorted plainly. He only accepted because it was the first time he was asking him for personal help. If it were to be another person, Logan would have disagreed immediately. "Thank you Blue, I promise I won't bring her along again. You can start coming from tomorrow, I will reward you hugely" Mr Valdez excitedly mentioned. Of course, Logan is already aware of that. No other client pays more than Mr Valdez regardless of the kind of work carried out for him. "Is that all for now?" Logan pointed out. "Oh yes, but I would love you to have something before you leave. We ordered lunch not quite long ago, I am sure you haven't eaten. You always forget to eat Blue" Mr Valdez began calling out to his Valentina before Logan could say anything. "Give him food to eat before

    "There is one thing I hate, that is making me repeat myself. Do you not hear the question I just asked? Alex David?" Logan called as he touched his nose in annoyance. Logan entered his car and sat down. "I am sorry Sir but I don't have the video any longer, someone broke into my home and took it away. I haven't been able to reach him after then, I promise you, give me more time and I will get it for you" Alex pleaded. "Do you think I have the time to be waiting for you? I have other things to do than waste my time on you. You don't have to worry about it anymore, just prepare for your funeral because you will end up taking your life when I am done with you" Logan promised. He ended the call right after that without giving Alex the room to speak again just like he did the last time. He dropped his phone and drove out of the vicinity. He didn't get to know the main reason why Ava wanted to see him because he spoke of her past. She didn't request to talk with him just to apologize to

    Shame and embarrassment

    Logan tapped his foot impatiently as he waited for her to speak but didn't hear anything from her. Ava just stared down while fidgeting and opening and closing her mouth like someone who is lip-syncing. She was truly scared for some reasons Logan wasn't sure about. The old Ava wouldn't hesitate to say anything to him with her little smart mouth, where did that Ava go to? Has the fact that their lives are not the same anymore sunk into her brain and changed her personality? Although it's odd, if anything, Logan never thought that Ava would change being her because she grew up that way. "I have other things to do Miss Hilton" Logan added. He checked his time to see that half an hour had passed. Ava's heart sank deeper in disappointment as he heard him call her by her surname. He is drawing the kind between them for her to know her limit. "What...do you want to drink? I will go and get it for you" She stuttered which made Logan baffled. Ava wants to order a drink for her. That's very
