Hidden Fortune of the Wretched Son In-law bankruptcy
Logan entered into the sitting room, looking worn out. It was a few minutes past nine, two hours have gone by while he was taking care of just a job. Stephen is long gone, he should have seen his ancestors in hell by now. When it comes to women and children, Logan doesn't spare anyone, you'd die by his hands no matter what. As he was about relaxing on the couch, Ava's voice boomed in the room. "Where have you been?" she asked in a low tone with her forehead creasing. Logan was a little startled, he didn't see her when he came in and she spoke all of a sudden."Oh, I am sorry I didn't inform you. A restaurant was looking for a part-time manager due to personal reasons, I had to try to see if I could get the job since it was a one time thing and luckily I got the job, we just closed now and I got paid a few dollars, it wasn't much but then, it can do some things for me" the lies rolled out of his mouth smoothly like he has been practicing them. Logan couldn't help but cuss mentally,

After his call with Daryl, Logan finished up his food and left the dinning to Ava's room. Without planning on intruding, he gently knocked on her door before going inside. She was seated on her bed while working on her laptop. "So?" Logan uttered, taking a seat beside her on the bed. She raised up her head before closing her laptop and focusing her attention on Logan. "I know that we do not love each other but with the way things have turned out, we have to act lovey dovey all the time so that my family won't suspect anything. We will also have to share a room, even if it's not okay by you, there's nothing I can do about that" Ava laid out. It's true that they barely know anything about each other but then, since they are already married, it's just right they make everybody believe otherwise. "I understand that, it's necessary" Logan replied in a single tone, he doesn't have anything to say in particular because he already predicted this before now. "And... It's nothing, forget
Hidden Fortune of the Wretched Son In-law Berated
Logan stood there watching his father and mother in-law leave He was totally livid but still maintained his calm, Logan has never been a patient type but somehow, he has been digesting everything this family have been saying to him. How he manages to stay tranquilized is a mystery to him. "Are you not coming in?" Ava asked breaking him from his chain of thoughts. She didn't bother to apologize to him because she sees no reason to.Without saying anything, he followed her into the room. "This is where we will be staying, your things will be moved into the closet" she explained while Logan looked around the room, it's big enough to contain both of them. That's all that he could see. "I will love it if you don't get too comfortable in my personal space and cross the line between us" she warned making Logan to raise his brow at her. Is she saying this to him? Was there a line between them before now? There's no way he is here because of her and then, she will draw a line between them
Hidden Fortune of the Wretched Son In-law The Hilton's dilemma
The moment Grandpa Hilton left, Logan brought out his phone and sent a message before leaving the library irritated, his heart burning from rage and retaliation for these people. Slamming the door behind him, he found himself going back into the house. Thankfully, there was no one in the living room so he went straight into their room. Even Ava wasn't in the room when he got there, she has either gone to work or probably just anywhere in the house. Logan like it more that she is not in the room, he will have time to do what he wants. He brought out his laptop and placed it on the bed and getting to work. The nonsense about him cleaning should be a joke because that's the last thing he will want to do, he can at least fax those emails but not cleaning. Logan inputted the details of the person and sent him a message. *Are you not going to give me back my data?* he typed that on his laptop and pressed sent, about three minutes later, he got a notification announcing that the person re
Hidden Fortune of the Wretched Son In-law Collateral; Gray Co shares
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
Hidden Fortune of the Wretched Son In-law Alex David
"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. She concluded that they will be able to pay back the money in two months and get their shares back. Meanwhile, Logan felt satisfied. He chuckled continuously to himself while watching them exchange words. With the amount of shares he has gathered in his in-laws' company, he will be able to overthrow them and take over the company completely if he want to.Logan is only laying foundation for the future, he will make sure to have everything in his palm. That way, his retaliation in the futu
Hidden Fortune of the Wretched Son In-law Something to do
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? What help can he render when he doesn't have much in his account? Alex wouldn't have given them the amount of money Logan offered to them and he knows that. "You are so kind, I know I made the right choice for my granddaughter but this happened" Grandpa Hilton said, sounding heartbroken and Logan couldn't help but roll his eyes at their drama, instead o

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.

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
