LOGAN .H. BENTLEY'S REBOUND CHAPTER 141
That night, Margaret followed through, she needed to do this alone and make sure her lover Richard leaves her house that night. After her encounter with her ex-husband and kids, she promised to send her pretentious lover out. Margaret stood at the doorway that night after returning from work her arms crossed tightly against her chest. Her face was filled with rage and sadness at the same time, she just didn't expect that the man's Richard, whom she thought was her safe haven and final settlement, was actually a monster in disguise. Richard was sitting in the living room watching the evening game he loved to watch but, it just might be the last he watched in that house as a storm was brewing inside Margaret's chest. Seeing how furious she was, Richard turned off the TV and walked towards her, reaching her to give her a welcome kiss but Margaret turned away and shoved his hands off. Honey, what's wrong?” He asked with furrowed brows and then looked around, and added; “Are the ki

The house was quiet even at night, except for the faint ticking of the clock in the living room. Margaret sat at the dining table, she had used her last strength to prepare dinner for the family, but no one was eating and no one was talking. Her face was buried in her hands, she was filled with remorse for not realising that her children were victims of domestic violence. The silence and guilt she was feeling was oppressive, filled with the weight of everything she had ignored, everything she had let happen around her without knowing. Emma and Lucas sat on the chair on the table with Henry between them, his arms around their shoulders protectively, these were his kids. Emma’s eyes stayed fixed on her mother, burning with unspoken questions, words she needed to pass across but she kept it all in. Henry took a deep breath and spoke up, besides he was the head of the family, and as such he was to take the lead in things like this. “I believe we all have something to say to eac

Logan stood by the huge and massive glass window of his penthouse office, below him was the city sparkling and full of life. He was dressed in a sharp looking suit, his eyes were filled with determination to do some things and put everyone who was trying to put a dent in his father's reputation and bring ruin to their family's hardwork. He has heard that there was someone who was leaking out information despite the fact that they had earlier caught Anna Kim. Someone was still there doing things in the shadows and he needed to find out who they were. And make sure that mole or moles get what is coming to them. He walked out of his office, today was the day he goes back to Blue Net Group. He has done all there is to do, in this new branch. It was time to leave and make the necessary travels. As he got out the elevator, he heard Bethany's laughter echoe faintly from the adjacent studio. She was posing for another photoshoot, her striking features catching the light in ways that

Back in his office, Logan called Sean. "Track down Sloane," Logan ordered. "I want him in a room with no exits by tomorrow night. And as for Carter… well…" Sean chuckled darkly. "You want me to handle him now?" "No," Logan said and added; "Let him sweat for a bit. Then we’ll decide what to do with him." "And what about your ex-wife, Bethany?" Sean asked, his tone curious. Logan glanced toward the studio, where Bethany’s laughter had died down. "Keep an eye on her," he said, "I hired her just for her looks, but yet, I can't trust her again not after everything, report to me every single thing she does, I wanna know.” As Logan ended the call, he leaned back in his chair, the weight of the battle ahead settling on his shoulders. The burden was becoming too much despite the fact that he has yet to begin. Logan sat in the dim light of his office, as his mind raced as he tried to piece together the puzzle. He knew Carter was just a pawn, and Andrew Sloane was merely a middlem

“Dad, I need to tell you something in person, but people might be eavesdropping over here. But I think there is someone who doesn't want to be found.” “Okay, then come home…” “No not today, there is something big going down tomorrow, I need to know what it is.” “Very well, do you need back up?” “I believe I already have enough, Sean is here. He was sent by Damon Salvatore, so I am certain that he would deliver the protection I need.” “Alright, you make sure these bastards don't know what hit them, and stay alive.” “Of course dad, they would feel the heat.” Logan uttered and the phone got disconnected. Sloane had told them that there was something big going to happen at the old depot, so Logan needed to know what that was all about. He showered and then went to bed, tomorrow was going to be a big day for them, and he wasn't backing down now, how could he possibly? Especially when someone knew he was onto them, the person who texted him must have been keeping a close eye on hi

Suddenly, a black SUV roared onto the scene, its tires screeching as it skidded to a halt. The back door swung open, and a woman in a sharp black suit stepped out. Her presence was commanding, her cold, sharp eyes scanning the group like a predator assessing prey. "That’s her," Sean whispered through the earpiece. “Alexandra Lincoln, Cyberdyne’s COO (Chief Operating Officer), she's one of them." Logan’s lips thinned. "Who the hell are those in the council members and who the hell are the shadow's operatives? Because I can't quite put my finger on it… anymore." Alexandra Lincoln nodded at the courier, who handed over the briefcase. She popped it open briefly, revealing stacks of documents and a sleek hard drive glowing in the dark. "It’s data," Sean muttered. "Looks like proprietary files, it's probably Blue Net’s classified algorithms or tech designs." Logan’s eyes narrowed. "If that leaves this place, the entire blue Net Group is over. We’re done for if it gets out. We move on

Back in the main room, Nick was typing away furiously, his screen flashing lines of codes. Logan joined Sean by the table, watching as the tech worked his magic. “How’s it looking?” Logan asked. Nick didn’t look up and uttered; “They’ve got military-grade encryption on this thing. Whoever put this together doesn’t want it getting out. But…” He paused, his grin widening. “I’m better.” The screen suddenly lit up with a loaf of files, maps, and lists. Nick whistled low. “Oh, man. This isn’t just corporate information. This is… something else.” “What are we looking at?” Sean asked, moving closer. Nick pointed to a series of encrypted files and said, “These are blueprints of something unimaginable about the technology world. If this falls into the wrong hands, they could cripple entire networks, steal data, control infrastructure… It’s a game-changer.” Logan’s jaw tightened he was already worked up, he uttered; “And Cyberdyne was planning to sell this?” “Not just sell,” Nick s

The family of the Donald's after the confrontation Henry had with Richard, they decided to act like a family and not allow anyone just waltz into their lives, neither would they allow internal conflicts separate them. They were slowly rebuilding their trust in each other. Margaret had begun to cook dinners again, something she hadn’t done in months. She insisted on everyone sitting together at the table, even if the atmosphere was still heavy with unspoken words. Lucas was the first to break the silence one evening. “Do you think he’s really gone?” he asked, staring down at his plate. Margaret hesitated, glancing at Henry. “I hope so,” she said softly. Henry’s voice was firm. “He won’t come near you again. I made that absolutely clear.” Emma wasn’t convinced. “Richard doesn’t let things go, Dad.” Henry leaned forward, his gaze stern with conviction. “That’s why I’m staying here until I’m sure he’s out of your lives for good.” Emma nodded, but the tension in her shoul

As the night grew deeper, the table emptied, leaving only Logan, Alexander, Seraphina, and Udinov nursing their drinks. Patricia had gone to check on a renovation project upstairs, giving Logan a rare moment alone with his children. He leaned forward, resting his arms on the table. “You’re all too busy.” Seraphina smirked. “That’s rich, coming from you.” Logan chuckled. “I know. But when was the last time you all sat like this? No boardrooms, no deals, no strategies?” None of them answered and then Logan sighed. “You were raised to be strong, to command, to win. But power without family means nothing.” Alexander exhaled, rubbing his temples. “You’re getting sentimental here, Dad.” “Maybe,” Logan admitted and continued; “Or maybe I just don’t want you three to lose what I fought so hard to build, which was not the empire, but this.” Alexander tapped the rim of his glass. “And what exactly is this?” Logan looked at them, they were his legacy, his greatest creations, he utt
CHAPTER 262
Udinov got another text from his dad's right hand that the meeting was postponed, so he decided to join Seraphina and Alexander for dinner at their family estate, then he would go back home to his parents after. Besides, the Bentley family are like his first home, he calls Patricia ‘mama’ and she treats him like a second son she never had. They boarded a flight and headed home. The Bentley Estate was standing brightly, in the twilight, its grandeur was untouched by time. The sprawling mansion was an empire in itself, it was where titans were raised. Tonight, however it was not about power or strategy, it was about family. Seraphina Bentley stepped out of her sleek car, a product of her company’s innovation. The estate’s lights illuminated the driveway, which was a path she had walked on since childhood. She didn’t need to knock, the doors swung open as if the house itself knew she had arrived. "About time," a familiar voice drawled. She smirked as Alexander leaned again
CHAPTER 261
Seraphina, Alexander, and Udinov had eliminated The Black Concordat. The world was once again theirs. But power was never still. It was always shifting, always evolving. And now, they had to decide if they would rule the world as it was or if they would reshape it? They didn’t just want an empire, they wanted absolute dominion. Few months later, in a private island in the Mediterranean A meeting unlike any other had been arranged. The most powerful people in the world, billionaires, world leaders, and shadow rulers all arrived in secret, each escorted by heavily armed security. But at the center of it all, inside a grand glass-walled hall overlooking the ocean, stood three figures. They were none other than Seraphina, his twin brother Alexander Bentley and Udinov Volkov. This meeting wasn't one of negotiation, it was a declaration. Seraphina spoke first, her voice steady and commanding. "You are all here because you think you control the world, but let me make something
CHAPTER 260
With the Dominions wiped out, the Bentley-Volkov dynasty had reclaimed its throne. The war between the heirs had turned into an alliance, one built on necessity, respect, and the undeniable truth that they were stronger together. But power never truly rests, the world watched, waiting to see if Seraphina, Alexander, and Udinov would hold their reign, or if a new storm was already brewing. Two months after Dominion's fall, the three heirs met again, this time in Hong Kong, inside a high-rise that belonged to Bentley International Banking. Inside the boardroom, tension crackled like a coming storm. Seraphina stood at the head of the table, her gaze sharp. "Dominion wasn’t the end." Alexander leaned back in his chair, arms crossed. "Go on." She tapped on the table, and a holographic display flickered to life filled with names, locations, financial transactions. "Before Dominion fell, someone else was moving in the shadows, picking up the pieces. They call themselves The Bl
CHAPTER 259
Over the years, many years later, the world had changed. The names Bentley and Volkov were no longer just synonymous with wealth. They had become something more, they had become an unstoppable dynasty that shaped economies, influenced governments, and controlled the very pulse of power in the world. Logan Bentley and Damien Volkov had done the impossible, they had not only built an empire, but they had ensured its survival. But every empire faces its greatest challenge, because the bigger it becomes the more threats it attracts. And this time, the threat wasn’t from the outside like it used to be, this particular one was from within. Seraphina Bentley grew up to become the Visionary of the empire, she had always been so smart and took her father's brilliance and foresight. She is a strategist, a builder, a force just at the age of twenty-three, she had transformed Bentley Innovations into an empire of the future, dominating artificial intelligence, clean energy, and space exp
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
CHAPTER 257
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
