LOGAN .H. BENTLEY'S REBOUND CHAPTER 21
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

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

After hours of driving, Elizabeth got to her husband's law firm and got inside. “Good morning ma'am welcome.” the receptionist uttered. “Thanks, is my husband in?” she asked mildly. “He hasn't clocked in yet ma'am, would you like us to place a call to him?” the receptionist asked. “No, that wouldn't be necessary, it would be best if he doesn't know I came at all. Is that understood?” Elizabeth uttered; “Of course ma'am.” Elizabeth just couldn't put her mind into it; it was more like she felt something in her guts that her husban

In Brazil, Mr Terrence Bentley was having the time of his life with beautiful women all over him, one on his laps and two beside him. While he took a big hoof of cigarettes, he was enjoying the view when someone whispered something into his ears. He nodded and the person walked away. “Gentleman, I believe our trip is about to come to an end. We have more pressing businesses to take care of.” He uttered. “I agree.” Another uttered. “We have signed a cooperation with The Kennedy’s Enterprise so I have heard. What do you suggest we do moving forward?” Mr Terrence Bentley uttered. “We cannot just keep unlocking the lower classes. We need to find more allies if we're going to become bigger than what we are now.” Thomas a well known and close partner of Blue Net Group uttered. “Blue Net group has been known to be the biggest company the world has ever known. How else do you expect us to be bigger than what we already are, Mr Thomas?” Mr Terrence Bentley asked. “Well other underlyin

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 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

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

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

Ethan slammed his laptop shut, his hands trembling. The email he sent to his father was supposed to be the end of it, but deep down, he knew it wasn’t. Troy Reece wasn’t the kind of man who gave up. And Ethan? He wasn’t the kind of person who forgave, how could he? That same ɗay, his phone buzzed. It was an unknown number, so he ignored it. It buzzed again and again and then he annoyingly answered it; “What?” A chuckle came through the line and the voice said; “Still got that temper, huh, kid?” Ethan’s blood ran cold. He hadn’t heard that voice in years. No. It couldn’t be. “Who is this?” he demanded. “You really forgot about me?“I raised you, boy. Gave you a roof. And this is how you repay me?” Ethan’s grip tightened around the phone. “Arthur,” he breathed. Arthur Stevens, was the last foster father Ethan ever had. The one who nearly broke him. “You owe me, boy,” Arthur continued. “You remember, don’t you? Everything I did for you? And now I see you got a rich daddy c
CHAPTER 253
Troy Reece has been feeling a lot of guilt over the years but it hasn't been this hectic as it was this past few weeks. The success he had built, the bestselling novels, blockbuster films and global acclaim all of these achievements felt empty. There was deep, unshakable guilt gnawing intently at his soul. "I need to find him, Amelia," Troy said, his voice was one with emotions, he added; "I can't change the past, but I can try to fix the future." Amelia Woods Reece, his wife, placed a hand on her growing belly, her eyes filled with quiet understanding. "Then we find him, no matter what it takes." she said firmly. Troy Reece hugged her for being an understanding woman and for not judging him, this made him love her even more. The journey wouldn’t be an easy or simple task. His son, who was abandoned at an orphanage years ago, was now a grown man, lost somewhere in the vast expanse of the world. How would he find him? Troy pulled every string he could, he tried, private i

Tariq exhaled, running a hand through his hair, he said; “That’s not up to me, it’s up to you… to prove you’ve actually changed.” Adrian held Tariq’s gaze, then Emma’s, before nodding. “I will.” The silence between them, filled with unspoken wounds and possibilities. Then, without another word, Adrian turned and walked away, leaving Tariq and Emma to decide whether they were ready to let him back in. As the door shut, a quiet stillness settled in the house. The weight of the encounter with Adrian lingered in the air, but Emma wasn’t about to let it drag her down. She turned to Tariq, searching for his expression. "You sure you're okay?" she asked. Tariq gave a short nod, but she saw the flicker of thought in his eyes. "Yeah," he said, but then he sighed and continued; "I just... I never expected him to actually own up to what he did." Emma squeezed his hand. "Neither did I. But he’s gone now, Tariq. And honestly? I don’t want to waste another second thinking about him."
