LOGAN .H. BENTLEY'S REBOUND CHAPTER 12
As soon as the manager Henry finished those words, a resounding slap that left marks on his face could be heard. It turns out Logan had slapped him hard across his face, leaving everyone including Henry stunned by this move. The security guards wanted to really subdue him but the cold stares from Logan made them halt, they had no idea who he was but they didn't want to take risks so they remained transfixed. Logan, who didn't have time for this, immediately dialed Mr Damon's contact. “Damon, I ran into a situation at the company, I cannot get through the security, fix this ASAP.” He uttered and Damon replied; “It will be done in a second, young master.” Everyone was staring at Logan, some in awe others in pity as they felt he was just acting and would be thrown out of this company or worse arrested. Not long after, a group of people rushed into the office of the manager, and they were personally led by the CEO of Blue Net Group. Arnold Cage is a well known figure, he is one of
LOGAN .H. BENTLEY'S REBOUND CHAPTER 13
Although the directors and the representatives of Blue Net Group who had followed Arnold Cage were all puzzled by this sudden behaviour from the CEO, they immediately bowed to show their respect as well. Seeing this made everyone present shocked the most surprised individual was Sarah Palmer because this was his former colleague, someone who people mistreated and walked all over, a laughing stock back then, was being respected by the chief executive officer of Blue Net Group? She was beyond baffled. Everything was like a movie for her, it was like she was meeting him for the first time. Meanwhile, Henry Donald the manager was surprised by this, he had earlier framed Logan and now he was so uneasy seeing this. Everything was becoming strange to him, that he almost peed in his pants from fear. 'What is going on? How would Arnold Cage bow before him, who is this stranger? Could it be that he was not lying? Shit! I am in deep trouble.' Henry Donald thought. Logan then asked with a st

Some hours later, Logan clocked out of the company, he had learnt a lot about the company for one day and he needed to rest. He had no place of residence except living in a hotel room ever since his arrival from the Netherlands. So Arnold Cage the CEO of Blue Net Group provided a driver for him, not just any driver, a very beautiful and gorgeous lady who was very good at her job. “This is Sharon, she will be your driver from now henceforth.” “Good day, boss.” Sharon uttered, her hands behind her back, she looked like someone who was trained in the army, her professionalism was top notch. “Good day to you too Sharon, nice to meet you.” Logan uttered and she smiled, bowed and said; “If you will excuse me boss, I need to go get the car ready.” Logan only nodded and Sharon bowed and left. “May I ask why she is a woman and not a man?” Logan asked as he wasn't expecting such, the surprise look on his face says it all. He just wanted to just stay far away from women as he was still h

Troy Reece and Bethany were beyond shocked by this. 'What could possibly be happening. Why would anyone call him boss?’ Bethany thought. Bethany was not sure what was going on, this was her ex-husband, who worked and toiled for three years and during that time, he had not been given any position that would determine him having a subordinate of any kind, so why would someone of such beauty and composure call him boss? Lots of thoughts began ravaging in their minds as they stared at Logan and Sharon. Logan ignored their shocked gazes and walked into the luxurious mansion which was situated at the very top of the landscape. Initially, Troy and Bethany had been admiring that particular building but they couldn't dream or imagine of getting it as it was very much on the high end, in other words, expensive. So seeing Logan walk into the luxurious mansion was beyond shocking, they couldn't possibly believe he lives there. “I am sure he does not have any connections with that house, how

Even though he was somewhat tipsy, he was still able to control himself in front of Sharon and did not do anything which he wasn't supposed to do. “Sharon? Why are you here?” Logan asked sluggishly as his eyes were a little bit tired. “I just came back from Blue Net Group, Mr Arnold asked that I deliver this to you Asap. So here I am.” Sharon uttered holding a huge envelope. “Oh really, what is it?” Logan asked. “He said you will know, that it was your order and under no circumstances should I open it.” Sharon uttered. Logan then recalled he had earlier asked Arnold to find out something very important for him. His eyes immediately lit as he recalled and he quickly collected the envelop from her and opened it, he was eager to find out what they found on his wife's lover. He really wanted to know the person whom his wife was so smitten with that she chose him. Opening the envelop and looking at the details, he shook his head in dismay. He couldn't believe what it was saying; “

The next day at noon, Logan Hudson Bentley realising that time is such a fickle thing decided that he should start getting ready for the banquet being hosted by the Kennedy's tonight. Logan had no suitable clothes that would fit the occasion so he wanted to go shopping. “Where are you headed boss?” Sharon asked hoping to be the one behind the wheel, but the unimaginable happened. “Sharon, give me the keys, I will drive myself today. I just need to go to the mall and also sightseeing alone okay?” “But it's my duty to drive you around.” “And it still is, just not today, okay?” Logan uttered looking at Sharon. “Fine boss… here you go.“ Sharon replied and handed over the keys to Logan which the latter smiled and left the estate. The Palestial mountain top estate was at the very top and just like its name, it was situated on the mountain top, so one has to drive for a while before getting to town, if you intend to go by road. Which was why the helicopters were made available if you w

The female store clerk was very indifferent about this whole thing because asking for the store manager wasn't going to do anything, simply because the store manager was her boyfriend. So she was indifferent and reluctant to call him as she felt there was no point, it's not like her boyfriend was going to reprimand her because of them. But as Elizabeth was angrily yelling out loud and demanding to see the store's manager at all cost, she reluctantly agreed to go call him, because the lady looked quite rich and influential. She walked into the manager's office and said; “There is a weird looking man and a woman outside demanding to see you.” “Why is that?” The store's manager asked. “Well simply because I said the man is too dirty to be inside this luxurious suit store of ours, she began to yell at me, threatening me with my job.” The female store clerk blurted, Since this was her boyfriend she didn't expect to be reprimanded as she was his girlfriend. “Is that all?” He asked. “

The person he had with him was none other than Bethany, he had brought her to the store in order to shop for her and also to show off the store. “Wow!! This place is really beautiful and big. I really love everything about this place.” Bethany uttered, looking around in awe and admiration. “Of course babe, I own this place, this entire store belongs to me. You see, I run this place.” He uttered, boastfully. He was enjoying the praises that Bethany was showering on him that he kept on bragging about how he owns the place and how he was able to get it.

CHAPTER 258
The next day, Troy Reece and his son stood by the balcony, he didn't allow him to go back home the night before for fear he would get abducted. There were unspoken words between them For years, Troy had imagined this very moment when he would talk to his son in person again, he had rehearsed apologies in the quiet of his guilt, whispered confessions into thin air, but now, standing before his son, no words seemed enough. Ethan’s fists clenched at his sides, his expression unreadable. There was hesitation in his eyes, a war between the hurt of abandonment and the reluctant gratitude he couldn’t ignore. The weight of Troy’s absence had shaped him in ways no one would hope for, but then the knowledge that his father had, in his own way, protected him from Arthur’s threats, from a darkness Ethan never fully understood. "You left me," Ethan said at last, his voice quiet but razor-sharp. "For years, I told myself I’d never forgive you, I even hoped we would never meet." Troy’s th

Troy’s SUV screeched to a stop in front of the house. He was out before the engine died, his gun drawn. Ethan was right behind him; he was just a young man who hated violence, but he wanted to help them out, since his father did the same. Troy’s worst fear was confirmed when he saw the back door wide open. 'Oh no, no no…’ Troy thought. His blood went ice cold as he couldn't hear any sound, he walked gently into the house. “Amelia!” he shouted, but no one answered, there was silence. Then suddenly, there was a thud from upstairs. Troy moved fast, taking the stairs two at a time. Ethan followed, his heart pounding. The bedroom door was locked, but Troy kicked it open, his eyes widened. What he saw made him freeze, Amelia was there. A man in black had her, one arm wrapped tightly around her throat, the other holding a knife to her stomach. Her eyes widened when she saw Troy. “Troy… I am sorry,” she muttered. The man tightened his grip and uttered; “One more step, and s
CHAPTER 256
Troy and Ethan sat in the back of a black SUV, parked a block away from Arthur’s location. Ethan was scared out of his wits, his hands clenched. “I don’t like this,” Ethan muttered. Troy checked his watch, his expression unreadable. “Son, you don’t have to like it. You just have to follow my lead.” Ethan let out a sharp breath. “Arthur thinks I’m selling you out. What if he catches on that I am lying to him? He will kill me and you.” Troy finally turned to him, his gaze transfixed on him, he uttered; “Then we make sure he doesn’t walk away out of this place tonight.” Ethan swallowed hard, he had always seen Troy as the controlled, sophisticated filmmaker, but now? Now, he was looking at a man who had been in the shadows, in the dark before, a man who knew exactly how to handle threats or who used to give one in the past. Troy’s phone buzzed and it was a message from Author. ‘Warehouse. 30 minutes. Come alone.’ Ethan’s stomach twisted. “It’s a setup, Troy.” Troy smirked
CHAPTER 255
Troy was in his office when his phone rang. He answered without hesitation. “Ethan?” “We need to talk.” Ethan uttered immediately. Sensing the discomfort and unease in his voice, Troy straightened up and asked; “What’s wrong?” There was a long pause like he was trying to find the courage to speak, then Ethan finally spoke, his voice low and tensed. “It’s Arthur, he is coming for you.” Troy’s blood went cold. Ethan continued. “He wants me to set you up. If I don’t, he’s threatening Amelia.” There was silence. Then, Troy’s voice dropped to something dangerous; “Where is he?” Ethan exhaled shakily. “Troy, you don’t understand. Arthur isn’t just some con man. He’s dangerous. He has people. He won’t stop until…” Troy cut him off. “I don’t care who he has.” His voice was deadly calm. “No one threatens my family.” Ethan hesitated. “So… what do we do?” Troy leaned back, his mind racing. Then, for the first time, he spoke words Ethan never expected to hear. “We set him up firs

Ethan slammed his laptop shut, his hands trembling. The email he sent to his father was supposed to be the end of it, but deep down, he knew it wasn’t. Troy Reece wasn’t the kind of man who gave up. And Ethan? He wasn’t the kind of person who forgave, how could he? That same ɗay, his phone buzzed. It was an unknown number, so he ignored it. It buzzed again and again and then he annoyingly answered it; “What?” A chuckle came through the line and the voice said; “Still got that temper, huh, kid?” Ethan’s blood ran cold. He hadn’t heard that voice in years. No. It couldn’t be. “Who is this?” he demanded. “You really forgot about me?“I raised you, boy. Gave you a roof. And this is how you repay me?” Ethan’s grip tightened around the phone. “Arthur,” he breathed. Arthur Stevens, was the last foster father Ethan ever had. The one who nearly broke him. “You owe me, boy,” Arthur continued. “You remember, don’t you? Everything I did for you? And now I see you got a rich daddy c
CHAPTER 253
Troy Reece has been feeling a lot of guilt over the years but it hasn't been this hectic as it was this past few weeks. The success he had built, the bestselling novels, blockbuster films and global acclaim all of these achievements felt empty. There was deep, unshakable guilt gnawing intently at his soul. "I need to find him, Amelia," Troy said, his voice was one with emotions, he added; "I can't change the past, but I can try to fix the future." Amelia Woods Reece, his wife, placed a hand on her growing belly, her eyes filled with quiet understanding. "Then we find him, no matter what it takes." she said firmly. Troy Reece hugged her for being an understanding woman and for not judging him, this made him love her even more. The journey wouldn’t be an easy or simple task. His son, who was abandoned at an orphanage years ago, was now a grown man, lost somewhere in the vast expanse of the world. How would he find him? Troy pulled every string he could, he tried, private i
CHAPTER 252
Tariq exhaled, running a hand through his hair, he said; “That’s not up to me, it’s up to you… to prove you’ve actually changed.” Adrian held Tariq’s gaze, then Emma’s, before nodding. “I will.” The silence between them, filled with unspoken wounds and possibilities. Then, without another word, Adrian turned and walked away, leaving Tariq and Emma to decide whether they were ready to let him back in. As the door shut, a quiet stillness settled in the house. The weight of the encounter with Adrian lingered in the air, but Emma wasn’t about to let it drag her down. She turned to Tariq, searching for his expression. "You sure you're okay?" she asked. Tariq gave a short nod, but she saw the flicker of thought in his eyes. "Yeah," he said, but then he sighed and continued; "I just... I never expected him to actually own up to what he did." Emma squeezed his hand. "Neither did I. But he’s gone now, Tariq. And honestly? I don’t want to waste another second thinking about him."
CHAPTER 251
Today was the day Tariq was accompanying Emma to meet her parents, Henry and Margaret Donald. Tariq adjusted the collar of his shirt, exhaling sharply as he stepped through the doorway of Emma’s home. The scent of freshly brewed coffee mixed with the faint aroma of old books and wooden furniture. He could feel the weight of Emma’s hand on his arm, steady yet reassuring. "Relax," she whispered, flashing him a smirk. "They don’t bite." He chuckled, but his nerves didn’t settle, he was nervous. Henry Donald and Margaret were seated on the couch, their gazes fixed on him like a silent interrogation. Henry, with his sharp eyes and a presence that commanded respect, remained unreadable. Margaret, on the other hand, offered a small, polite smile. They were assessing the young man who had caught their only daughter's attention. "So, this is the man who stole our daughter's heart," Henry finally said, his voice deep and controlled. Tariq straightened, nodding respectfully. "Yes,
