LOGAN .H. BENTLEY'S REBOUND CHAPTER 19
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. This was her dream right here, she had always wanted to own a

Hearing the voice of someone familiar, Troy turned only to see his wife looking at him with a confused expression. Never would he have thought that his wife would be there at that particular time of the day. To make it even worse was that he was with his lover, and his heart began pounding in his chest. 'Could this be it? What if she finds out about this? Am I going to lose everything I have worked so hard for?’ At that moment he wished the ground would open and swallow him whole, but that's just a figment of his imagination as that can never happen. He was scared, confused, nervous and stunned at the same time to find her there. “Hon? Wha- what are you doing here?” He asked with a heavy heart. He just wasn't expecting to see her, reason being that in all their years of marriage she never comes to the store for whatever reason. She always had one of her employees bring whatever she needed home. So seeing her in person there was shocking, he was beyond startled by her presenc

Logan stared at her and didn't say a word, he just chuckled and walked out on her. Bethany who felt insulted and humiliated by this act, immediately ran after him cursing! “You fool! You will always be a toy in the hands of women, that's all you will ever be, a gigolo. You will depend on women all your life!” Her pride just couldn't take it that she had complimented his looks even offering for them to have a chance together and he just walked out on her. Logan got into his car without sparing even a glance at her, drove off leaving Bethany speechless and stranded. It was already evening and going back to the mountain top estate would be a waste of time, so he headed to the Kennedy's family estate for the grand banquet as requested by Arnold Cage. He was to attend as a representative of the Blue Net Group (a huge organization that is respected in all parts of the globe). It turns out Arnold Cage wasn't planning to attend the banquet so he had sent a message to him. ‘Young mast
LOGAN .H. BENTLEY'S REBOUND CHAPTER 22
This move was shocking to the young couple but most especially George. George was momentarily lost for words, never in his wildest imaginations would he have thought of this. 'What is going on? If the head Butler of the Kennedy's personally came out and bowed before him, he must be someone very powerful!’ He thought.’ It was like George had been slapped across the face, making him tremble and speechless out of fright. He became scared that he might have provoked someone very powerful and this could come back to hunt him later, he hit his head in frustration as he watched Logan go in. Anna on the other hand became really curious about who the handsome stranger really was, her curiosity needed to be satisfied today. They (Anna and George) got inside the banquet hall, they were just in time as Mr Kennedy himself was about to give the welcoming speech. “Good evening my distinguished guests, thanks for honoring my invitation this evening. The reason for the banquet is to celebrate

Elizabeth was the one who put a stop to their little escapades, she walked towards them and was surprised to see Logan there. “Hey Logan, you are here?” Seeing the surprised look on his wife's face he couldn't believe it; “What do you mean by that? Weren't you the one who invited him?” “No I didn't… but you shouldn't be causing a scene, this is dad's banquet!” Elizabeth said the last part silently to her husband's ears only. She knows what her father was capable of, should he find out about this. That was when it dawned on Troy that his wife wasn't the one who had invited Logan to the banquet. Confused, George walked up to him and said; “Well earlier, I saw your father-in-law's butler welcome him in. He spoke very respectfully to him and even guided him personally inside the hall.” This revelation was somewhat shocking to Troy as he doesn't understand why the butler would care about Logan in the first place. Troy felt Logan might be the butler's new help or something. To him
LOGAN .H. BENTLEY'S REBOUND CHAPTER 24
Everyone present gasped out in shock, others in excitement but the most surprised of them all, was Troy Reece. Those in the crowd quickly turned from criticizing Logan to sympathizing with him and actually taking his side. “Oh my! It means that he has offended Mr Kennedy then.” One of those in the crowd uttered. “I believe he has, I heard Mr Kennedy doesn't really like his son-in-law at all.” another uttered, “I can't wait to see what would happen tonight, somehow I am glad I honored the invitation tonight.” Another muttered and they giggled. Troy just stood there confused trying to process everything that was happening. He was just so confused, he didn't know what to do or say. Logan walked towards him and said; “Cat got your tongue?” Troy remained silent because a lot of thoughts were piling up in his mind. 'If truly he is my father in-law's special guest like his butler just said, then I am in for the long run because he might expose me tonight.’ Troy thought as beads of

Troy had no choice but to swallow his pride and apologize because he knew what was going to happen later that evening. “Mr Logan, I am sorry for everything I said earlier, please forgive me!” Logan remained quiet and Troy Reece had to speak up yet again, with gritted teeth he uttered; “Please forgive me, I didn't mean to.” Elizabeth looking pitiful uttered; “Please find it in your heart to forgive my husband for tonight and earlier during the day!” Logan with his hands in his pocket uttered; “Well Miss Elizabeth, because of your kind words and that of your father's of course, I will let this insolence slide tonight, he might not be so lucky next time.” “There wouldn't be a next time Mr Logan!” Elizabeth retorted. “This right here is how a real man behaves Troy with valor, you could learn something from him. This isn't over, remember that.” Mr Kennedy uttered sternly. He was going to get really scolded over and over again because his father-in-law doesn't really li
LOGAN .H. BENTLEY'S REBOUND CHAPTER 26
That evening Logan drove back to the mountain top estate, he was already tired and stressed out, the fact that Troy was surprised by his merely being the representative of such a huge company was satisfying. He couldn't wait for them to find out who he really was, but then he was going to make sure that Troy and Bethany paid for every single pain they had caused him. Logan was determined to make sure that Troy loses every single thing he holds dear. His reputation as a well-known lawyer and the love and support of his wife. Logan would make sure he loses everything, but then being patient is what he needed. He got to the mountain top estate and his driver Sharon was standing waiting for him. “Boss, my job is to drive you around. That was why I was employed in the first place, to be your personal assistant amongst other things. You are the heir apparent to the Blue Net Group. How do you think your father would view me if I do not carry out my job? What if something happened

Alex stepped forward and uttered; “Then we split up.. .Sean and Miss Patricia will work on disabling the detonation from here. I and Logan, will go to the facility and stop whoever planted this.” Terrence nodded. “Fine. But if this is a trap, you’ll need backup and I will be there.” Logan grinned darkly; “I’ve got enough firepower to deal with anything he throws at us.” Alex and Logan arrived at the power hub in record time, the countdown ticking ever closer to zero. The facility was quiet, but the tension was suffocating. “They’re here,” Logan muttered, scanning the shadows. “William wouldn’t leave this unguarded of course.” As if on cue, gunfire erupted from the far end of the hall. Logan bent for cover, returning fire as masked operatives swarmed the area. ‘Council agents? They are here too? Did they sign up with William?’ Logan thought and uttered; “William’s pulling every string he has got, I believe he is working with Council Members.” Alex then reloaded his weapon,

Logan folded his arms, looking deep into his father's eyes, he then said, his tone skeptical; “And you believe that?” Patricia, seated beside Logan and didn't say anything. Damon Salvatore uttered; “William is not someone who relies solely on physical resources. His greatest weapon has always been his mind. If he’s saying he’s still a threat, we should take that seriously.” Sean, leaning against the wall, chimed in. “Sorry to say this but, I have been monitoring chatter from the Council. It’s been unusually quiet lately… too quiet.” “Well, keep an eye on them, the bone of contention here is William.” Damon Salvatore retorted. “Sorry sir, the thing is, if William has connections, they might be lying low, waiting for the right moment.” Sean said. Terrence slammed his hand on the table, his voice firm and stern; “Enough. I won’t let that snake dictate how we live our lives. We’ve fought wars on multiple fronts before now, so we can handle whatever is coming.” Patricia who has

Days later, while the Council were mourning and regrouping, Terrence Bentley decided to go see his brother William D'Cruz in prison. The air inside the prison was tense. Terrence Bentley walked through the dimly lit corridors, his shoes echoing as he walked gently and took one step at a time. The guards gave him curious looks but stepped aside as he passed, recognizing the power of authority he carried. Finally, he reached the holding cell where his supposed brother, William D'Cruz, sat slouched on a bench looking even more pathetic than the last time they met. The man who had once been a master manipulator and Terrence’s greatest rival was now a shadow of his former self, dressed in a gray jumpsuit, his face gaunt but his eyes burning with determination.. Terrence smirked as he approached, leaning casually against the bars. “Well, well, well,” Terrence Bentley uttered, his voice filled with mockery; “Look who finally got a taste of justice. I almost didn’t believe it when

At the hidden bunker, Logan paced about, his mind lost in thoughts as the others worked. Patricia was seated at a corner desk, looking over intercepted Council files, her brows furrowed with all concentration. She might not understand what was going on, as she wasn't a part of this from the beginning, but she was willing to put her smartness to work. Despite the chaos around her, she remained focused, her mind was analysing patterns in the Council’s movements. “I think I found something,” Patricia said, and continued; “They’ve activated something called ‘Protocol Obsidian’ I don't know what it is but I believe it's… not just an attack. It’s a systematic purge. Logan, they’re coming for anyone who’s ever stood with us.” Logan nodded and said; “I figured as much.” Sean looked up from his laptop, his fingers flying over the keyboard. “We’ve got movement, lots of it. Drones, troops, the whole nine yards. They’re closing in on us faster this time.” Terrence grabbed his

Before the team could finalize their plans, Sean’s laptop blared an alert. It was a red warning that flashed across the screen of his laptop: “Network breach detected.” “They’ve found us!” Sean yelled, his fingers flying over the keyboard. Suddenly, the farmhouse windows shattered as drones swooped in, their blades slicing the air. Gunfire erupted outside as Council operatives descended in waves. “Move!” Logan shouted, grabbing Patricia’s hand. Terrence and Sean covered their escape, firing at the advancing operatives. “Go! We’ll hold them off!” Terrence barked. Thankfully, Alex the mercenary was still around so he had to protect Terrence who was able to get out of there in one piece. Logan pulled Patricia through the back door, weaving through the trees as bullets whizzed and fly past them. The roar of an approaching helicopter grew louder as it gets closer to them, its spotlight was sweeping the forest ever so ferociously. “They’re everywhere!” Patricia gasped for brea

CHAPTER 165
“Logan Bentley, well, he and his father who was supposed to be our ally continues to defy every expectations. Not only did they rescue Patricia Howard, but also managed to leave a facility we designed to be inescapable, they left it alive and without so much as a scratch. Yet our building fell again, that is totally not acceptable.” The woman in the sharp suit, known only as Wren, crossed her arms and leaned against the table. “The young Bentley is a problem indeed but then the bigger issue is that others are starting to believe the Council can be challenged.” Knox turned his gaze to her, he uttered; “And what would you propose, dear Wren? You failed to keep Patricia Howard under your supervision. I trust you won’t fail again.” Wren straightened, and said, “Bentley’s recklessness is his greatest weakness. He’s predictable, emotional. He’ll always prioritize his loved ones over strategy. That’s how we’ll break him.” Another Council member, a muscular man uttered; “We’ve already

Sean pointed to a live feed on the central monitor. The image was a little blurred but it was unmistakably, Patricia Howard, Logan's last shot at love. She was bound to a chair, her head slumped forward. She was out cold and blood was gushing out of her forehead, she must have put on a lot of resistance. The background was a white room room around it were flickering fluorescent lights, thus, it was hard to decipher where she was in. “They took her,” Sean said, his voice tight with controlled fury, he added; “The Council is retaliating, their plan is to hit us where it hurts.” Logan’s blood ran cold as he stared at the screen. His hands were curled into fists to the point that his nails were digging hard into his palms. “Where is she?” Logan demanded, his voice low and dangerous. Sean pulled up a map, highlighting a remote facility deep in the mountains. “Satellite intel puts her here. It’s heavily guarded—Council operatives, drones, and likely traps. They want us to come for h

Logan was quite hot headed and an idea popped into his head and he wanted to see someone in the council, someone high enough he needed to stop playing games with them. He walked towards one of the supposed Council backups and stated sternly. “Hey you, I need to speak to your director right now.” The agent hesitated and surprised that the person they were chasing would come out to the open. And since there were other people who weren't from the council members present at the scene, there was nothing he could do but say; “The Director is currently en route to another operation… she..” “I don’t care where she is,” Logan snapped, his tone brooking no argument. “Tell her it’s about Project Solace, I am sure she’ll listen.” The agent nodded reluctantly, pulling out a secure comm device. As he relayed the message, Logan felt a hand on his shoulder. It was Terrence. His voice was low, almost a whisper. “You think Haynes is clean? This is a dangerous move.” “I don’t know if she is c

CHAPTER 162
It was the figure of a man, who was staring at his screen attentively, as his face illuminated the glow of the screens. Each of the monitors displayed a different angle of the now-destroyed facility, he was very much upset. On one of the screens, this man zoomed in and saw his enemies, Logan and his team as they retreated, they were barely visible due to the fire burning and the smoke. He was wearing a suit and a silver ring engraved with a strange symbol, he smirked at the sight of this. His cold, calculating eyes didn’t waver as he sipped from a glass of Hennessy. “Impressive, I must say,” he muttered to himself, spinning the glass lazily. “Logan's resilience is… is irritating, but commendable. And Terrence, oh, Terrence, just so predictable… Always predictable as always.” He pressed a button on his desk, just then a beep followed, and the voice of an assistant responded instantly. “Yes, sir?” “Deploy Unit Seven. I want Logan tracked. Leave him enough rope to play
