CHAPTER 11

It was Logan's former colleague. Not knowing they will ever meet again, but as fate would have it, here they are.

Seeing her in such a state brought anger and rage to him.

"Get away from her, you bastard!"

Sarah Palmer was known for her beauty, even back then in the company Logan worked for, she was often complimented for it.

They weren't that close because Logan was of course a married man and he is known for his loyalty to his wife. So any other females he didn't pay attention to them that much.

Besides at the time, his wife Bethany was very harsh and overly insensitive that seeing someone as beautiful as her close to him would cause chaos.

Bethany was known to be crazy and whoever respected themselves would steer clear off him so as not to attract rage.

Logan was not happy seeing that she was being sexually assaulted by an uncouth individual.

What he was doing to her, was unacceptable he totally forgot that he was being chased by security guards and did what any upright person would do, which is, protect a woman from such a situation.

Bang! Bang!

Logan kicked the fat unscrupulous man away from Sarah and saved her from his grips by dragging her to his side.

"Ahh!!" He groaned in pain, blood began oozing out from his nostrils.

Sarah's top was torn by the side, so she was trying to cover up with what's left of it.

This fat man is the manager of Blue Net Group, he owned 20% of shares in the company. So he is definitely untouchable by anyone.

No one in the company could report him for his frivolous acts; as he is one of the board members of the company.

Everything about him was radiating power which made people avoid him like a plague, they turned a blind eye on his wicked deeds so as not to lose their jobs.

“How dare you badge into my office? Who the hell let you inside this company?” The manager managed to say as soon as he regained his composure.

“Who said you could harass a female worker in this company?”

“Don't you know how to knock, even if you didn't can't you read the sign? It says, ‘Do not disturb' Just so you know, if you were looking for a job here just keep in mind that you have lost it.” He uttered and turned to Sarah Palmer, with a stern look he uttered;

“If I hear even an iota of report from you to the authorities you will have me to contend with. And that project you have been working on for weeks will become null and void.”

Hearing this Sarah Palmer was scared beyond words, she was just a worker in the company, so she was beyond intimidated and didn't want to pursue the issue any further.

She was willing to let this go as she and her team had been working on it for such a long time. They spent sleepless nights on that project, so since much harm wasn't done she decided it wasn't worth it.

Another reason why she wanted to let everything go was because she felt Logan who was trying to help her might be implicated because of her and she didn't want that.

Sarah Palmer is someone you can describe as timid, she wasn't bold and couldn't stand her ground even if she wanted to. To crown it all up, she was kind hearted.

Recalling how Logan was always treated unfairly back then by the other colleagues, made her sad and she didn't want him to go through that here, when he was clearly job searching.

So she felt sympathetic towards him. But something was going on in her head.

She couldn't put her finger on how Logan was released from the police station as news traveled fast.

Henry Donald, who was the company's manager, wasn't going to let Logan get away with this, he was so enraged that he spoiled his supposedly good time with the most beautiful woman he had ever laid his eyes on.

“I will have you arrested for coming in here unannounced.” Henry Donald uttered.

“Haha ridiculous, go on, call the police I also won't let you get away with this. How dare you tarnish the image of Blue Net Group? You will definitely be arrested and dealt with today.” Logan uttered sternly.

Just then the security guards who were looking for him finally found him in Henry's office.

Henry Donald then turned to them and uttered;

“Throw this riff raff out of this company with immediate effect.”

Logan wasn't going to allow them lay his hands on him, so he coldly uttered;

“Don't you dare move an inch, I am the heir apparent of Blue Net Group, personally sent by Mr Terrence Bentley himself to come to the company today.”

Those words sounded ridiculous and hilarious to everyone present that they couldn't hold it in they laughed and began to mock him.

“You wish! You an heir apparent? So funny?” One of the security guards uttered, it was just so amusing to him.

“In all my years, I have never seen someone looking so casual and unkept as an heir apparent. If you really are like you say you are, why are the security guards chasing you to begin with?” Henry Donald retorted, laughing out loud.

“If you really claim to be who you say you are, definitely you would have some sort of ID on you, the manager of this company would recognise you at a first glance as he is one of board members of the company, he should be aware of your arrival not asking us to subdue you.” The chief security uttered.

Sarah Palmer became even more sympathetic towards Logan, she felt he might have some mental disability claiming to be who he wasn't or probably lying just so he could help her from an awkward situation.

“Please Logan let this go, you could go back to jail after just being recently released, if you offend the manager any further, let's apologize.” She said with sympathy in her eyes.

Meanwhile, Henry Donald felt that he could use this opportunity for his own selfish gain, so he decided to exploit and take advantage of that situation to make a lewd request.

“I can forget that this ever happened, if you come warm my bed tonight after this whole shenanigans, what do you say?” Henry Donald uttered with a smirk on his face, looking at Sarah with lustful eyes.

    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

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.

    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. “

    A few minutes earlier, Troy Reece arrived at the clothing store but not alone, he had someone with him. They were both in another sector of the building and looking around. 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. Bethany who had no idea who truly owns the building was in awe and kept looking at her lover with admiration. The adoring gazes from Bethany to Troy was out of this world, she was super proud of him.

    Patricia stood in the doorway of his study wearing one of Logan’s button-up shirts, her arms folded across her chest. She looked at him with concern, but her voice was steady. “You’ve been up all night, what's up?” Logan turned, his expression softening when he saw her. “I had to plan.” Patricia stepped closer, her bare feet on the wooden floors, even though it was cold she didn't mind, she then uttered; “Planning is one thing and wearing yourself out right before a fight is another.” “I can’t afford to rest,” Logan replied, his voice firm but gentle. “Malcolm won’t stop until one of us is dead. I have to be ready.” Patricia reached out, taking his hand and said; “I know you feel like this is all on you, but it’s not. You have people who want to help you. Damon’s men, the loyal guards here, and… me.” Logan’s jaw tightened. “You’ve already helped enough, Patricia. More than I would ever ask for, B But now, you need to focus on yourself and the baby.

    Bentley's estate was quiet but tense. The events of the night replayed in his mind: the ambush at the cabin, Patricia’s revelation, and Damon Salvatore’s shadowy intervention. Everything pointed to one undeniable fact, that this wasn’t just survival anymore. It was war! A soft knock at the study door interrupted his thoughts. It opened slightly, and Patricia peeked in. Her face was calm, but her eyes betrayed her concern. “You should be resting,” Logan said, setting the glass down. She stepped in, closing the door behind her. “I can’t sleep, not with everything happening. Not with you down here, planning who-knows-what.” Logan stood, walking over to her. “Patricia, you need to trust me. I’ll handle Malcolm.” “And what happens if you don’t?” she asked, her voice trembling. “Logan, I’m scared. For you, for us, for this baby. Every time you walk into danger, I feel like I’m losing a part of you.” Logan gently took her hands, his eyes softening. “I know you’re scared, but

    The woods were quiet except for the wind, but Logan’s mind raced as he paced the cabin’s living room. Patricia sat on the couch, her hands tightly gripping the edges, her face pale but determined. “We need to leave this place soon, Malcolm already knows where we are now. It’s only a matter of time before he sends more men to cause a scene or worse.” Patricia hesitated, then stood, her arms instinctively wrapping around herself protectively. “Logan, look here, running away won’t solve this. You know that as well as I do.” Logan turned to her, his expression softening but still firm. “This isn’t running, it's called a strategy. We regroup with our own men and plan our next move. Malcolm thinks I’ll be caught off guard simply because I am in the woods, but I won’t give him that satisfaction, hell no! They were the ones who started this, his father hated my father because of a grudge, he killed him and he paid with his life for it, so if this is what I have to deal with for spar

    The room was eerily silent after Logan’s departure, the reality or the fact that what had just transpired in front of him began to kick in. His father’s lifeless body laid on the floor, and his blood gushing out from his head beneath him. Malcolm dropped to his knees beside William, his hands trembling as he shook him. “Father, wake up!” His voice cracked, desperation could be seen. But despite all the tears and calling, William D’Cruz was gone, his now cold and blind eyes staring at the ceiling into nothingness. The shot was directed to his brain so no amount of surgery could bring him back to life. Malcolm’s breathing was no longer normal, it is more like he was hyperventilating as he clenched his fists. He felt his anger deep into his veins, boiling hotter than he thought possible. His entire world had just been shattered by Logan Bentley, his cousin, and right then and there as he knelt down beside his father's dead body, he vowed and swore to make sure, Logan pays wit

    Damon nodded. “If you’re set on this path, Master Logan, then promise me one thing: don’t lose yourself entirely. Your father wouldn’t want his legacy to be remembered in blood.” Logan didn’t respond. He simply turned back to the desk and pulled out a drawer, retrieving a small, sleek pistol that had belonged to his father. He checked the chamber, the metallic click echoing in the silent room. “This isn’t about his legacy anymore,” Logan said quietly. “It’s about vengeance and making sure men like William and Malcolm never hurt anyone again.” **** Days later, seeing his father's remains that was completely unrecognisable, made Logan feel as though he had not done anything yet. He was supposed to be planning his father's burial but all he could think about was William's dead body being brought to the morgue as well. He couldn't just sit back and let his father be buried alone. What was his offence, being really good at everything and being his father's favorite? Well that was t

    As Logan walked out of his room well dressed, he was no longer just Terrence Bentley's grieving son, oh that ship has long sailed he was a man on a mission, a storm brewing with the promise of destruction. The Bentley estate’s private garage housed a collection of cars, each a symbol of his father’s taste and success. Logan selected a sleek black SUV, its engine roaring to life like a growl from deep within his chest. He peeled out of the driveway, his destination clear: William D'Cruz's sprawling estate on the other side of town. Damon, who saw him driving away, immediately sent trusted men to shadow him. “Ready the men, make sure nothing happens Master Logan is that clear?” “Yes sir!!” They all ran off and began shadowing him, because his safety was their priory, should something happen to him, it could cost them their lives. As the city lights blurred past, Logan’s thoughts were filled with the memories of his father, his warm laugh, his stern yet encouraging words kept

    When they got home, they felt relief, but true to Rick's words, they had no choice but to go looking for him. Their child Hilary was nowhere to be found. “Hilary!” Bethany called out with every strength she could muster but her daughter was not home, neither was she at Mrs Grayson's place. She had been abducted. “Oh my God, Carter, the worst has happened.” She uttered. Troy, who was looking around for anything, any clue as to who had done this, he didn't want to assume the worst. After his thorough search from looking around, he saw a letter on the kitchen counter, he immediately opened it and it reads: “You feel you were wide in calling the cops on me, well like I said, you will come looking for me sooner than you realise.” “It really is Rick!” Troy Reece blurted out sith frustration as he broke a mug out of frustration making the couple run from the living room. “Did you find anything?” “It is Troy… read this!” He uttered and handed the letter to them.

    “Carter, who is this person?” “We need to go to Mr Logan Hudson Bentley for protection.” “Hell no, there is no way I can do that.” Troy blurted out. But Bethany remained silent because Logan and her had resolved their issues or differences that he even gave her this job of modelling and she is more than grateful for that. “Well Troy, I also have a history with him because I betrayed his trust. It wasn't so easy for me to actually bring up his name, but if that is going to be an option, I am going to take it for your safety, and that of Hilary's… or the second option is to set a trap.” Bethany’s eyes widened, “A trap? Come on Carter, are you serious?” Carter leaned forward, his voice calm but firm. “Rick thinks he’s untouchable. If we can lure him out by making him think he’s getting his hands on this evidence, then maybe we can then expose him publicly. Catch him in the act.” Carter uttered. Troy rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “It’s risky, but it could work. Rick won’t ignore

    They quickly ran through the maze of containers, the stolen folder clutched tightly in Troy’s jacket. Gunshots rang out behind them, but they didn’t stop. By the time they reached the car and sped away, Bethany was still shaking, her confidence and courage which she had put up in front of Rick just some minutes ago was completely gone, like it never was. Troy glanced at her. “You okay?” She nodded, her breaths shallow. “I can’t believe we just did that.” Troy smirked faintly. “You were amazing back there.” Bethany shot him a glare. “Don’t get used to it.” As they drove away with the folder sitting on the dashboard, Bethany’s mind was already racing with the next steps. Rick wasn’t going to let this go, but neither was she. Later that day, Bethany sat at her dining table, staring at the folder they had stolen from Rick’s shipping yard. The names and details written inside were enough to make her stomach churn. It wasn’t just trafficking, it was an entire network of ille
