"Hiring that kind of lawyer will cost a lot of fortune, with the state of the company now, I don't think we can afford him" Ava spoke up with concern. The Wellington guy's point is reasonable, if they deny all the allegations in court and they are able to get a good lawyer to defend them in any way possible even if it's with fake evidences as long as it pass, they will win the case.

Logan on the other hand had to roll his eyes, he has been doing that a lot without him being aware of it. His wife is no different from her family. The news of her father killing an employee is flying everywhere and she wants to cover it up too? She doesn't actually also care to find out what the truth is. As long as it saves the company.

But what will they do? Logan already planned to take it away from them.

"I will do the hiring with my money, you do not have to worry about that" he replied menacingly. No one knows what is going on in his mind.

"What do you want in return?" Ava questioned with the ph

    Logan walked into his office and sat down, he just came in earlier with Ava like she suggested earlier, although rudely. He is sure everyone in the company now dislike him because of the fact that he is living with his in-laws instead of his own home. He doesn't really care about whatever it is they all think of him. The only thing he want to think about now is how to get out of this marriage soon and become his real self again instead of having to split his personality. He sat down on the swivel and rolled on it for a while, thinking about nothing in particular until the door to his office got opened and his father in-law walked in. "Dad...I mean Sir, what can I do for you?" Logan asked, he just came in, can't he give him a little break first? "What kind of question is that? Do you not know that you are supposed to be working right now? And you just came in and sat down like it's your father's company?" Charles Hilton said angrily. Logan hates it the most when his parents are bei

    Logan hissed loudly and ran out of the company without informing his wife and father in-law. Thankfully, he saw a taxi and entered since he didn't come with his own. Going to ask Ava for her car key will be a hassle for him.The cab driver was asking of his address but he was too focused on his phone to hear that. Logan was trying Daryl's number, it was ringing but he wasn't picking up. He dialed again like three times to no avail and called Alfred's number instead. If truly X is holding his brother captive, Logan wouldn't spare even a strand of his hair. He meant it when he said he will break every bone in his body and throw him in the sea. If Logan had known, he wouldn't have accepted the ring challenge. He could have asked them to meet in a different place, if he had not forgiven X in the first place, this would have never happened. Logan hit the car seat, startling the driver as Alfred also didn't pick his first call. That was when he finally remembered to give the man his addr

    "What do you want to do with X?" Alfred asked Logan who was seated down for the past ten minutes without saying anything like someone who is lost in deep thought. "Play with him since he failed to learn the proper way of playing with me" he replied with no atom of smile on his face. There are just some people that shouldn't be forgiven if they ever wrong you, those type of people are dangerous to keep because they'd try to kill you after keeping them alive."Do you still need me to get the laptop ready for you?" Alfred posed the question again. "No, you don't have to. I had wanted the laptop before because of Daryl but since he is fine, there's no need for me to find his location now" Logan remarked meekly. "But how do you intend to play with him? I want to play with him even more" Daryl inquired "Let's give him time to enjoy himself, I will take care of it don't worry" Logan responded. He knows more than anyone what it feels like to have a powerful person on your tail but then, t

  • Hidden Fortune of the Wretched Son In-law   His reality

    Logan silently chuckled, do these people think of him as a pushover? Why is everyone being brass with him today? A janitor? First, he was told to clean the mansion and now it's the company? "I am sorry Sir but I will have to decline, I'd rather find something else to do" Logan grimaced. Being a janitor is not a bad thing but then, for someone like Logan, that job does not befit his status. He is trying to cope with being an assistant that he has never had the experience and his so called father in-law is now telling him to do something lower than that position? What sort of crap is that? Charles Hilton burst into a laughter, surprised that his son in-law could give him such an answer. When did he start refusing to follow their orders? "Do you think you have a say? Forget that you are my son in-law, I don't care what other people in the company will think or say. They can't share our information outside anyway and if by any chance we both are to appear in public, I will pretend to

  • Hidden Fortune of the Wretched Son In-law   Courtroom

    Logan cleaned the sweat on his forehead and sighed. He can't deny it, he could still hear the thud in his chest. He felt a slight headache and he opened the drawer beside the bed and took out aspirin then stood up from the bed, making his way downstairs to get water. It was just to 11 which means he only slept for at most thirty minutes and he had a terrible dream during that time. With the way he have repeated nightmares every time, how is he to sleep? He can't even compromise a little for himself since the scar from years ago still haunt him like everything happened yesterday. Once he got a cup of water, he swallowed the medication and downed it with water before going back to his room to take a long yet cold shower that will make his mind feel less worried. He just stripped out of his cloth and didn't bother to take a towel from the closet since there are some in the bathroom. Logan prepared a bath for himself with bubbles and then threw himself into the bath tub which is mostly

  • Hidden Fortune of the Wretched Son In-law   Arrested

    Different types of cameras flashed on Charles Hilton's eyes as he tried covering his face and run from the courtroom but failed terribly because he was already surrounded by reporters from all walks of life, throwing him questions he couldn't answer.Grandpa Hilton felt ashamed, he couldn't stand there and watch his son being humiliated but he didn't bother to do anything about it and just left, leaving both Ava and her mother to take care of the mess. How could his lawyer make that kind of mistake? If he had wanted to save his client, he wouldn't have had that kind of video in his system but then again, the lawyer can't be completely blamed. Most lawyers will love to know the truth about the defendant on either the person committed the crime they are accused of or not. That way, they'd be able to defend them very well. His mistake was leaving the evidence in his laptop. Ava and her Mum tried to make way for her Dad, she felt embarrassed, ashamed and felt like the ground should open

  • Hidden Fortune of the Wretched Son In-law   Trap

    The Hilton mansion became as quiet as the grave yard after Charles Hilton was taken away by the police. To Logan, no one moved nor do anything as if everyone was walking on an egg shell. Ava and Grandpa Hilton were both trying to save the company first since there is nothing they can do about the arrest right now. If their value keeps going down this way, they will be in a huge debt and the share holders wouldn't let them off the hook because it's their right to do that. Logan came into the room to see Ava getting changed into a new dress. "Are you going somewhere?" he asked. "The office, I need to start taking care of things before it gets out of hand. The shareholders are also calling for a meeting, I am sure they want to remove my father from his position. What am I going to do?" Ava questioned rhetorically, she didn't ask the question to get an answer from Logan and he didn't say anything either. He also didn't feel any atom of remorse or pity for them. They do deserve it for e

    Logan instinctively closed his eyes and made a fast move by moving away from there. After successfully moving away from there, Logan took a look at himself with a baring teeth and the laughter coming from Xavier made Logan to give him an icy stare. "I don't know what you are looking like right now but I am so happy I did this" Xavier chipped, a wide grin noticable on his face. "Have you gone insane?" Xavier questioned. "Well, I knew it the moment you found my location but I wanted to give you this surprise" Xavier retorted, making Logan's lip to curl up. Logan is glad that this man right in front of him is stupid, he is here alone and he is pulling a string? He really has underestimated Logan. "You should have changed your location that very time, that was the chance I gave you" Logan walked closer to him and with each step he took, Xavier moved back too until he made a run for it. He didn't wait for Logan to reach up to him and also brought out his gun, firing at Logan who didn

    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
