LOGAN .H. BENTLEY'S REBOUND CHAPTER 189
The commotion drew Patricia and Logan, who entered the hall just in time to see William advancing on Terrence again, the dagger poised for another strike. “William, stop!” Patricia cried, rushing forward. “What are you doing?” William froze, his breathing ragged. “This has to end all of this Patricia. Terrence doesn’t deserve to walk away from this. He has taken everything from me.” “No!” she shouted, stepping between the brothers. “This isn’t the way. You’re not a killer, or at least I believe you aren’t.” Terrence straightened, wiping blood from a shallow cut on his arm. “Why stop now William? You are not going to get away with this...” “Shut up!” William barked, his voice trembling with rage. “You don’t get to play the hero and kind hearted one here again, Terrence. Not after everything.” Logan, leaning heavily on Patricia, spoke up. “William, why don’t you kill him off? Isn't that what you've always wanted to do? Just so you know, I will find you and revenge my father. An

Terrence stepped forward, his voice firm. “You won’t touch them, William. Not while I am still breathing.” William chuckled slightly as he brought out a concealed gun from his coat. “And what are you going to do, brother? Stop me? You’ve never had the stomach for what it takes to kill me, but I on the other hand, I am not that merciful.” Terrence glanced at Logan, his resolve hardening, it's either his brother died or he dies while trying. “Maybe not before… but seeing how cruel you have become, I won’t let you hurt them… Not this time.” In a second, William lunged at Terrence, with the gun, which Terrence dodged, grabbing a nearby candlestick and using it to deflect the attack. The sound of metal clashing from William's hand echoed through the hall as the brothers fought, their hatred spilling out in every strike. Patricia pulled Logan aside, her heart racing. “We have to stop this,” she whispered, tears streaming down her face. Logan shook his head weakly; “He has to fi

When Damon dragged William to one of the dungeons in the estate, he (William) vowed to make sure they all pay for this humiliation. He saw his son Malcolm there groaning in pain but paid no attention to him because he never expected that his son would prove to be so stupid as to attack Logan Bentley upfront that way, to make matters worse, in an open space and in the eyes of the public. So all he could do at that moment was ignore him without uttering a single word. His thoughts were somewhat disoriented he didn't know what else to do all he could feel was rage towards his brother Terrence Bentley. Especially how time and again, Terrence continues to elude him, he tried so hard to kill him but now look where he was in, a dungeon yet again, a place he had bad and cruel memories. When they were kids, his father Aiden Bentley never really appreciated everything he did although his father did all he humanly could to care for both sons but as we already know parents have their fav
LOGAN .H. BENTLEY'S REBOUND CHAPTER 192
Patricia was quite confused, she had known Terrence to be a kind man. He used to reach out to her to check up on her so that she would always be the daughter in-law of the family, when Logan ran off with Bethany in the past. But then of late how could someone who was kind hearted and as caring as him become so cruel and unemotional? So Patricia took it upon herself to converse with Terrence and find out why it is so hard for them to put their differences aside and live like one happy family. “Uncle Terrence, we need to talk!” Patricia uttered. “What about my dear talk to me, I am listening...” “Uncle, I know it is not my place to ask anything but I am going to be a part of this family by marriage and I want everything to be fine and well in this family, imagine having a child in such a chaotic background, I and my kids cannot live in a family that is torn.” Patricia uttered. “Sweetheart… I know that whatever is happening right now you do not like it neither do I. But there ar

Days later, a ruckus happened beneath the estate, at the dungeon, a man dressed in black walked gently to the dungeon gate where William was held and opened it, after which he bowed.“Forgive me for coming just now. I was held up running a few errands at the company.” The guard uttered.“You certainly took your time! Release my son as well and let's get the hell out of here.” William uttered.“What about the guards?” Malcom asked.“They will be dealt with.” The guard uttered and walked towards Malcolm's holding and unlocked the door.“Young master, let's get out of here.” William and Malcolm, as well as their trusted guard, walked out of the estate without a hindrance because Terrence Bentley wasn't home.*****“Dad, I do not appreciate what you did back there. You didn't even stand up for me. I am your son, not Logan.” Malcolm blurted out as soon as they got to their home.“What else were you expecting me to do, side with you? I believe I brought you up to be better than that honest
LOGAN .H. BENTLEY'S REBOUND CHAPTER 194
Miles away Bethany was making her way home back after her photo shoot this new job of house that has been granted to her by her ex-husband Logan and made her travel the world and see the best in everything even though her daughter was still in the hands of someone else she was better with the caring couple rather than with her. Because the tours, the movements, it's not a place one should carry a child about. So upon returning back to the city to continue her job as a model for Logan's Motor company and to check up on her daughter, she heard the most terrifying news ever. Her little daughter Hilary and the couple she thought were caring and blunt with her, weren't all they proclaimed to be. They weren't as truthful or as honest as she thought they was because if they really were honest, why didn't they inform her of the new development? Bethany was confused about everything, she just didn't expect that. What happened was that she got word that they were no longer living
LOGAN .H. BENTLEY'S REBOUND CHAPTER 195
As Bethany sat at the farthest corner of the bar, her hands were still trembling as she had no idea what was happening to her daughter. But one thing was certain: her eyes were watching Troy Reece closely as she didn't want to miss any details or drop her guard down and then Troy would slip away. Her phone buzzed in her pocket. She pulled it out, and answered. “Bethany,” her partner’s voice came through, “Where are you? My team is mobilized. I need to know what you’ve found so far.” She glanced toward Troy, lowering her voice. “I’m at the Anchor Bar. Troy is here. He says he’s waiting on intel about Marina and her husband.” There was silence, and he asked; “And you trust him?” “No, not in the slightest.” Bethany whispered and continued; But I don’t have a choice, if he has a way of finding my daughter I would hold even the devil's hand.* “Stay safe. I’m sending someone to back you up.” Before she could respond, Troy’s deep voice cut through the room. “Bethany!” He mo

Bethany couldn’t wait any longer. She dashed out from her hiding spot and ran to her daughter, dropping to her knees and pulling her into a tight embrace. “Hilary, baby, it’s okay. Mommy’s here,” she whispered, tears streaming down her face. Marina stepped forward angry at the sight; “You’ve made a big mistake coming here, Troy,” she spat. “You think you can just waltz in and take her back?” Troy smirked, his gun still pointed on the group. “Yeah, that’s exactly what I think.” The man standing with Marina and her husband took a step forward, his hands raised in mock surrender. “Let’s all just calm down,” he said calmly and added; “No need for violence, we can all work something out.” Bethany tightened her grip on Hilary, her protective instincts flaring up, she blurted out; “There’s nothing to work out, the moment you took my daughter to this place, it's over. No more negotiations.” The man’s smile faltered, and he glanced back at Marina and her husband. “Fine… T

CHAPTER 208
Bethany sat in the car on a quiet road a few miles from the Bentley estate, her hands trembling as she clutched the steering wheel. She had driven here in desperation and Troy as well as Carter had flanked her from behind, but Logan’s guards had turned her away without even hearing her out. Tears welled down in her eyes as she thought about her daughter, alone and in danger. Her phone buzzed on the passenger seat, and she flinched, hesitating before picking it up. Rick’s message was short and brutal; “Time’s up. No freedom, no daughter.” ‘How did he have my phone number? Of course he is a notorious man. What's so special about my phone number that it would be too hard to get?’ She thought. Bethany began to sob, her body shaking as she tried to gather her thoughts. Logan wasn’t coming, he was too caught up in his own war to help her. How could she expect him to drop his own family obligations just so he could save a child who wasn't his, not to talk of one whom she had turn
CHAPTER 207
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. I won’t risk you being cau
CHAPTER 206
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
CHAPTER 205
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
CHAPTER 204
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
CHAPTER 203
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
CHAPTER 202
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
CHAPTER 201
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. Bethany began sobbi
CHAPTER 200
“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
