“Boss I believe that you aren't the only one after Troy Reece.” Josh uttered over the phone. “What do you mean by that Josh?” Logan asked in surprise. “Someone else seems to want to destroy Troy as well.” Josh uttered. “Find out who this person is and why they have scores to settle with Troy. I must give Troy Reece the final blow.” Logan ordered. “Yes boss.” 'It seems I am not the only one who wants your downfall Troy, I wonder who else you wronged this time.’ Logan thought as he sat down at the office staring at nothing. His thoughts were all over the place. ****** A young man was in a hotel room deep in thoughts, ‘I wonder why you love him to a fault, Elizabeth. Even after getting an anonymous text message you still didn't blink an eyelid. How could you love someone who has been unfaithful to you? How could you love someone that doesn't respect you that has always used you for his personal gains? If you won't leave this marriage I will make sure you do.’ Liam Miller is fro
In no time Troy Reece arrived at Bethany's, with some documents, as he has been waiting for so long to go on a trip and unwind as well. He doesn't love either women, but what he wants is to fill his pocket with enough gold that would last him a lifetime, should anything happen to his relationship. All Troy has ever wanted was to be free and not married to anyone so he could have all the time in the world with different women but he cannot do that if he were still married to Elizabeth and if he wants to reach his goals, he has to keep a low profile. He's a gold digger, that's the best word to describe him. It's no wonder he and Bethany makes a strong pair. In order not to give Joshua a bad impression about them both, they acted civilly in front of him. “Welcome Mr Joshua McCain, the thing is we've already gotten another buyer and as you know this house is already up for $500,000 most people are pricing it for nothing less than 400 but there's someone who offered even a higher pr
‘I will do all I can to make sure your love for that nincompoop dies.’ Liam Miller thought as he stared out through the window of his room. He wanted to tell Mr Kennedy of his son-in-law's waywardness but disregarded that thought as he would be termed as a jealous man and even though that is what he is, no one has to know. He was jealous of how much love Elizabeth showered to a man who doesn't deserve her. Now Troy was preparing for a trip with his mistress but Elizabeth had no idea, that hurts him more than words can express. ***** Elizabeth returned back from her little trip, with inner doubts about everything. But she didn't want to ruin her marriage by asking more questions as that could make her husband suspicious and become more careful and cautious. She was scrolling through her phone when she saw another anonymous message and it reads: I know you don't believe the last message about your husband’s infidelities one bit, but your husband isn't all he seems to be. He has
Logan at the word of his father arrived in Amsterdam Netherlands in Europe and as soon as he got to the mansion he found his father in a wheelchair. Mr Terrence Bentley couldn't let on that everything was fine with him or that he was initially pretending just yet. So he had to play along because he needs his son to be determined to rule and take on such a huge organization. “Dad, I am home.” Logan uttered as he walked into his dad's room. “That's good to know son," he said, wheezing. “What is it that we needed to discuss?” Logan asked with all curiosity. “Everything!! A lot is happening with the higher ups now and you can't just possibly focus on only our business in California.” Terrence Bentley uttered. “I thought you said that I am to be the heir apparent when I have learned about it in six months?” Logan asked. “Yes, indeed I said that, because I didn't expect that the company would become threatened by your uncle so soon.” Mr Terrence Bentley retorted. “Uncle Williams?
Patricia Howard remained silent, the truth is, when Logan ran after a woman who wasn't even from a known family she was heartbroken, she couldn't possibly imagine that something like that could ever happen. Logan left her without any explanations, nothing. She thought they had something going on but he just took off and ran after a stranger and that hurts her so much. To the point that she blocked him from all social media accounts (Snap, Twitter) and so on. Everything she ever wanted was to be by Logan's side, she understood that their relationship were based on an agreement between two families but what she didn't expect was that Logan didn't actually love her because he never gave her any reasons to proof otherwise, so she felt they were both in a relationship and that they loved each other. They grew up together, they have been known and called couples for as long as she could remember, and Patricia is someone who doesn't love changes but when Logan left her she got buried i
As Elizabeth woke up from her nap, she became so angry than she was when she slept off. Elizabeth remembered everything her husband had said that morning before he went to airport; "Honey, you know you're the only thing that matters to me right?" Troy asked. As soon as I get back, I'm taking you out." He replied. "Really?" Elizabeth asked feigning excitement so as not to arouse suspicions. "Of course honey, I'll see you soon." Troy replied kissing her. That memory of how he was acting when he was on a trip with another woman, further added to her rage. She will find out whatever is going on with her husband regardless of how innocent he claims to be. **** "Mother?" Hillary called. "Yes dear." Bethany replied. "Where are we going?" She asked, "We're going on a trip baby girl, we won't be coming back here anymore." She replied. "Is Dad not coming back?" Hillary asked. "We're going to your dad Hillary." Bethany replied and continues. "There's nothing left for us in this hou
Bethany and Troy were both enjoying having the time of their lives in Los Angeles. They had wanted to go to Hawaii but it was much more expensive, besides they wanted to start a new life together, they wanted to have a little family just three of them.Troy wanted Bethany to leave the city so that he could concentrate and not have two women in the same state. So he took her to the southern part of it, so he could easily come see her without traveling around thereby raising suspicions.So the reason why he wanted her to sell the house was because he wanted her to move so that he could continue his promiscuous act with her, without fearing of being caught by his wife or his father in-law.Unknown to him that sooner rather than later everything he dreads would come hunting him and his cup was already filled he just doesn't know it yet.They got to a well-known resort and Bethany was so happy, seeing it’s landscaped Gardens, beautiful pools, a fancy dining restaurant where they serve the
Elizabeth decided to go visit her father since she was back to California and her husband had traveled for a trip. She decided that it would be best to prepare something to eat when she heard the doorbell ringing. 'Who could that be?' She thought heading towards the door. Opening the door, it was Liam Miller. "Hi Elizabeth." Liam said. "Liam, what are you doing here?" Elizabeth asked. "I was just passing through and decided to come see you." Liam replied. "Is there a problem?" Elizabeth asked. "Not at all Elizabeth, I just wanted to drop by and say hi." Liam replied. "Well thanks." Elizabeth replied and continued. "I'm actually preparing some breakfast, do you mind coming in?" "Of course I would love to." Liam replied as they both went inside the house together. "Is your husband in?" Liam asked. "Not at all Liam, he went on a little trip to meet up with some few clients." Elizabeth replied. "Really?" Liam asked. "Yeah, he'll be back in a few weeks." Elizabeth replied.
As the battle and issues escalated, both sides prepared for a climactic showdown or change. Malcom, who was feeling great by his victories, pushed harder, taking greater risks. Wren, ever the strategist, cautioned him to stay on the course. “We can’t let emotions cloud our judgment,” Wren warned one evening. “You mean my judgment,” Malcolm snapped and continued; “Don’t you forget, Wren, I am the one who has everything to lose here Patricia would hate me for sure.” “And I’m the one ensuring that you even have a chance to win,” Wren shot back, she continued; “Remember who put you in this position, Malcolm. The council doesn’t and would never tolerate failure or in your case, insubordination.” Malcom glared at her but said nothing. She was right after all, if not for the impute of the council he wouldn't have even been able to shake Blue Net Group the way he has. So rather than get cocky, it would be better to keep a low profile for now as the Council is who he could rely on to g
Over the next few weeks, Malcom and his mysterious ally who he had just met, began working in the shadows, unraveling secrets that could bring Blue Net Group and Logan Bentley to their knees. But Logan wasn’t oblivious to what was happening, with the help of Sean they began to dig. He began noticing cracks in his perfect world, his supposed business partners withdrawing support, contracts falling through, whispers of his father's past being dug up, his as well being married before. Late one night, Patricia found him pacing in his office, his face filled with worry. “Logan, what’s wrong?” she asked very concerned about him. “I don’t know yet,” he admitted, running a hand through his hair. “But I think Malcom is back.” Patricia was quite confused, she uttered; “Isn’t he and his father in jail? Even if he is out, what do we do?” Logan turned to her, and uttered; “We have no choice but to fight. Whatever he is planning, we have to stop it, for good this time.” “I will b
****A Week Later**** The boardroom of Blue Net Group was buzzing with tension. Logan Bentley, tall and confident with charisma, stood at the head of the table, addressing his team. “Our reputation is about to be punctured if it hasn't already we need to make all those horrible rumours disappear like it never happened,” Logan said, his voice steady. “But we need to ensure that there are no loose ends. I want every department to triple-check and make sure it all goes away.” As he spoke, Patricia Howard entered the room, her presence like sunlight breaking through storm clouds. She smiled at Logan, and for a moment, Malcom, watching through a concealed security camera feed, felt his rage ignite anew. “Look at them,” he hissed, his voice dripping with venom. “So perfect, so untouchable. I’ll wipe that smug look off his face if it’s the last thing I do.” William D'Cruz chuckled beside him as they were both in the same supposed holding cell, but they have never lost contact with the w
When Bethany got home from the photo studio, she had no idea that she was being followed by Troy. Inside her apartment, Bethany lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. After having a long day and the fact that she saw someone she didn't expect to see, gave her instant insomnia. Sleep wouldn’t come, Troy’s face, his words, his pleading tone they way he looked at her, all of that kept playing in her thoughts endlessly in her mind. She sat up with a frustrated sigh, wrapping a robe around her shoulders. She needed some water so she moved to the kitchen after pouring herself a glass of water. She heard the faint sound of a car door just outside her house, well it made her pause. She kept the glass down and moved to the window, peeking through the curtains and surprisingly, there he was. Troy, leaning against his car, his face turned up toward her building. Bethany’s pulse quickened, a mix of anger and unease knowing that he didn’t leave. She grabbed her phone and s
Bethany’s breathing was quite rapid, her chest rising and falling as she stared at him. Memories of how she was longing for him came flooding. Her mind also raced with images of sleepless nights and searching faces in every crowd or movment until she finally found her daughter. “They could’ve been monsters,” she whispered, her voice breaking. “You gambled with her life, Troy. With my life, all of our lives.” “I know,” he murmured, his voice soft, he knew the magnitude of what he has done; he added; “I know I don’t deserve forgiveness. But I had to tell you, I needed you to know I never stopped thinking about you or about her.” Bethany shook her head, tears streaming freely now. “You don’t get to do this right now. You don’t get to come back and play the victim. I’ve rebuilt my life, Troy. Without you without any of your excuses.” “Bethany, please,” he begged, his voice barely above a whisper. “I’m not asking for anything. I just wanted to see you. To say I am sorry.” She took
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
