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
LOGAN .H. BENTLEY'S REBOUND CHAPTER 23
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
LOGAN .H. BENTLEY'S REBOUND Chapter 25
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
LOGAN .H. BENTLEY'S REBOUND CHAPTER 27
Elizabeth was somehow having doubts about her husband's movements. The lady she saw at the store keeps on popping up in her head, she just can't get it off her mind. So just to be on the safer side, she decided to go to her husband's law firm to be certain he was there, Elizabeth got into the car and drove off. She needed to clear her doubts. Mr Kennedy felt his daughter wasn't happy and so he had her followed so as to know what's going on with her. 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

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
CHAPTER 199
They quickly ran through the maze of containers, the stolen folder clutched tightly in Troy’s jacket. Gunshots rang out behind them, but they didn’t stop. By the time they reached the car and sped away, Bethany was still shaking, her confidence and courage which she had put up in front of Rick just some minutes ago was completely gone, like it never was. Troy glanced at her. “You okay?” She nodded, her breaths shallow. “I can’t believe we just did that.” Troy smirked faintly. “You were amazing back there.” Bethany shot him a glare. “Don’t get used to it.” As they drove away with the folder sitting on the dashboard, Bethany’s mind was already racing with the next steps. Rick wasn’t going to let this go, but neither was she. Later that day, Bethany sat at her dining table, staring at the folder they had stolen from Rick’s shipping yard. The names and details written inside were enough to make her stomach churn. It wasn’t just trafficking, it was an entire network of ille
