LOGAN .H. BENTLEY'S REBOUND CHAPTER 190
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

Bethany barely slept that night. She stayed by Hilary’s side, watching her sleep, her small chest rising and falling in a rhythm that should have been calming but it wasn’t. Every single creak or sound of the apartment made her jump, she kept looking over her shoulders even in her own home… To make matters worse, Troy’s words kept bothering her and making her mind unsettling. The next morning, Bethany stood in the kitchen, pouring herself a cup of coffee. She didn’t hear the doorbell ring at first, but when it did, her heart raced for some minutes, she froze, clutching the counter for support. It was too soon to have a visitor right, it couldn’t be Marina, could it? Bethany walked to the door cautiously, her hands trembling as she peeked through the peephole. To her surprise, it was Troy, who stood there, his face hard but determined. She heaved a sigh not one of relief but something close to it. She opened the door and asked; “What are you doing here?” “I need to talk

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
