"You now bring in people to disrespect me?" Grandpa Hilton asked and pushed Logan with his hand on Logan's chest.

Logan has brought himself down so much that everyone now get to do whatever they want with him.

"I am sorry about his behaviour Dad, he didn't mean what he said" Logan tried to apologize but he knew that would be in vain.

"You left the house without informing anyone when you know we will be busy and ghosted everyone including your wife, then you came back with someone to my compound who have no respect for me" Grandpa Hilton cautioned while Logan chose not to say anything since it'd sound like an excuse, no one will believe him anyway.

"Have we become so little now that you look down on us? What sort of friend come in to insult your in-laws?" Mrs Hilton spoke up for the very first time in that manner. All this while that his grandfather and father in-law have been treating him badly and tossing him around, Mrs Hilton didn't add to it nor did she try to stop it. Why is

    Ava wasn't in the room when Logan got in, he didn't bother himself with that either. He took out his drugs together with the aspirin and took them before downing it with water. After taking the drugs, he entered into the bathroom and took a quick bath although he was careful because of his arm and he also want to get dressed before Ava comes into the room. He doesn't want her to see his stitched arm so he didn't waste time like he used to. Once he was done, he rushed into the closet and put on his night dress. The snack he took yesterday was remaining in the cupboard, he ate that and jumped on the bed. That would be enough for him for today. Logan checked the time to see that it was just some minutes past 7 which infer that the night is still young but his lids were already closing. Whether he sleep now or later, all of them are the same as long as he is able to sleep without any nightmare waking him up in the middle of the night like the other day.Logan covered himself and closed

    Thankfully, there was a chair there, Logan dragged it to the middle and sat down. There were no trees around but the cold was hitting him from every angle and surprisingly, Logan likes it. He love this feeling and everything that comes with the beautiful serene. Logan propped his chin on his hand and sat down there for a while before going back into the living room. He doesn't want them to look for him or being told that he kept them waiting on the breakfast table. Everyone aside Grandpa Hilton was already at the table before he got there. Maybe later in the day, he will pay his father in-law a visit since he has been absolutely abandoned by his family. No one even visited him or care to do one thing or two so that he wouldn't end up in prison. What kind of family is this? Logan have met a lot of people in his life but all of them he has met will do anything to save their family except this people. No one is worried about Charles Hilton or care to know if he has eaten since he was

    Twenty minutes into the driving, they arrived at the Central prison. "Prison? What are we doing here?" Daryl questioned with wide eyes. "To see my father in-law of course, he is here" Logan replied with an eye roll as they came out of the car. He walked towards the door of the reception with Daryl following behind him. "Good morning, I am here to see my father in-law, Mr Charles Hilton" Logan said to the first warder her saw on his way. "He said only family can visit him and we don't know if you are truly his son in-law or not" the warder responded. As if Logan knew that it will happen, he brought out his marriage certificate and handed it over to the other person who skimmed through it then bowed his head at Logan. "I am sorry Sir, please come with me. We can give you only five minutes to talk to him but can he wait for you?" the warder asked, referring to Daryl. "Of course, I can wait here in the reception" Daryl said, pointing at a chair at the corner of the reception room.

    "De Lou, it's been a while" Logan said after they pulled out of the hug. "The last time I stopped by was four months ago" De Lou responded, gesticulating to them to sit down."That's a long time De Lou, I thought you've abandoned us too" Daryl replied while the older man chuckled. "It's a good thing you came to find me instead, I have been so swamped with work. And please call me Max, I am no longer De Lou you know, I left the mafia a long time ago" De Lou retorted. It's understandable since it will be weird to call him that, people might misunderstand or something like that. "How have you two been? How is the family doing? Is anyone giving you troubles these days?" he asked both Daryl and Logan who shrugged their shoulders before giving a response."Nothing we can't handle" Logan replied plainly with no intention to drag him into what he already got freed from. The trio discussed about random things for a long time forgetting that the time was going, they didn't even know when it

    Luckily, the manager of the restaurant was the first to sight them. He walked up to them and bowed politely on seeing Logan with the same woman again. When he saw Logan shaking his head at him, he understood what he meant immediately. "Good evening and welcome Sir, ma'am" he greeted them. "I made a reservation two days ago" Ava said nonchalantly and handed a piece of paper to the manager. He checked nervously through it and nodded his head. "Please come this way" the manager directed them to a table, the person Ava is supposed to have a meeting with wasn't there just yet. Thanks to the manager, they passed a more quiet place with less employees. "Please check through the menu and tell me what you want" the manager handed the menu to them. "We are still expecting someone to join us, we will order something when he is here. You can give us juice for now" Ava spoke up before Logan could look through the menu, although he thought they'd wait for the third person too. "Right away ma'

    Logan wasn't able to read the mail the moment he got into the house because he was welcomed by his grandfather in-law's rants. He was in the living room going through a book Logan doesn't really know what it was. "Good evening Grandpa" he greeted while Grandpa Hilton glanced at him with his eye glass lowered. "Did you take notes of the meeting or you were busy playing while the meeting was ongoing?" he queried Logan. It is true that Logan wasn't actually concentrating because it was super boring but then, he wasn't playing either."I wrote down a few things and also made a recording of their entire conversation" he said and handed the book to Grandpa Hilton then scrolled through his phone for the recording before stretching his hand to Grandpa Hilton who waved him off. "Send it to your wife, I don't have time right now to listen to that. I just hope you didn't do anything meaningless that won't be of any use to us later when we need it, make sure it is well edited and perfect befor

    Logan's eyes perked up, this will be the most shocking and interesting information he has gotten in a while. He closed the laptop without bothering to read the remaining informations as he burst out laughing like a maniac, imagining how the news will sound like when people get to know about it. A father in-law having an affair with his daughter in-law? Does that still happen in this era? Now, Logan understands why his mother in-law behaves however she likes to his grandfather in-law. So how? When did it start? Logan has so many questions running through his mind but had no one to answer them. As much as Logan is ruthless and mercilessly bent on bringing anyone who treats him rashly down, it felt irritating and disgusting to know that this is happening. How could they? He felt pity for Charles Hilton, everything has been going on, under his nose and he doesn't even have a clue. Is he a fool for not noticing anything? Logan kept on laughing to his heart's content as his hand hit the

    "Blue seems to be in a good mood today" Daryl said as he brought down the car window to glance at his brother who hopped into the car immediately. "I am always in a good mood" Logan's defended, earning a mocking laughter from Daryl. "You only laugh whenever you wish to, the rest of the time, you are strict and unfriendly" Daryl gave his honest opinion."Am I like that to you? Do you want me to start treating you as I should as a leader?" Logan questioned, his head twisting in feign anger."No Blue, you are the coolest person in the whole world" Daryl voiced and began driving out of the vicinity, no one will treat him better than his brother is. Daryl love the kind of relationship they share too, if that is to change, he will be the one to be more affected. His reaction made Logan to chuckle. That was enough to shut him up from saying anything further. "Not the mansion, take me to Desi's, it's time I paid him a visit" Logan announced. Daryl nodded his head in excitement. "Yes Blu

    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
