LOGAN .H. BENTLEY'S REBOUND CHAPTER 38
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.
LOGAN .H. BENTLEY'S REBOUND CHAPTER 39
Everything he had worked so hard for would soon come crumbling down, or it has already begun crumbling. These posts began to make heads on social media, Troy was scrolling through and his name was being mentioned by people, sooner or later the issue began to escalate and make rounds in the media. Troy realizing that this has escalated quickly than what he had hoped for began to panic, the next thing he could think of doing was to find a way to talk to his wife Elizabeth, in hopes that she hasn't seen any of those posts or even if she had, he could make her believe it was a rumor. He took his phone and dialed her number but no response. Troy tried calling his wife over and over again, but to no avail. Due to a guilty conscience, he wasn't sure if his wife had seen the pictures or not. His heart was beating too fast in his chest because he had no idea why his wife was ignoring his calls. He knew that Elizabeth was someone who adored him, but now, the fact that she wouldn't even

Logan was worried about how he would present himself to Patricia Howard. He was in a car which had pulled up in their family's mansion, but he didn't know how to approach the building. “Boss, are we going to go in there anytime soon?” Sharon asked. “I am nervous because how would you react if the man who loves you left you and ran after another woman for three years, then he comes running back to you after that relationship you were so sure of failed. I am pretty sure that you wouldn't want to associate with such a man. That is the kind of situation I am in right now.” Logan uttered. Sharon remains quiet because if she were in Patricia's shoes she would have murdered him. “You see? Even, you are quiet about this, I am nothing but a fool.” Logan uttered and began to question why he had come all the way here in the first place. “Boss, I believe if you want to continue your relationship with her you should give it a try rather than cower by staying in the car and not make a move.
LOGAN .H. BENTLEY'S REBOUND CHAPTER 41
“Darling, let him speak okay? Please at least let's hear what he has to say.” Mrs Howard uttered calming her raging husband. “What else does he want to see except sorry? Didn't you watch how your daughter cried? Didn't you know how she felt hurt by his escapades? He left our daughter with no explanations, nothing, he just woke up one day and ran away with someone else. Someone beneath my daughter, how should I react to that, no, tell me honey?” Mr Howard blurted out in rage. “I know there is nothing I will say that will make up for all what I did before. There is nothing I will say that will change whatever happened, but I just want you to know that I am deeply sorry. I came here with the aim of apologizing in order to make sure that I right my wrongs. I was skeptical about coming in the first place because I was afraid, I would get this response. I mean who wouldn't.” Logan Hudson Bentley uttered. “You are right about that for once, I agree with you on this.” Mr Howard uttered.
LOGAN .H. BENTLEY'S REBOUND CHAPTER 42
“Can I come in?” He asked as he met her eyes that were staring back at him coldly. “No you can't! You lost that right years ago, if you have anything to say, say it right here and now and leave!” Patricia Howard uttered. “I know that you have every reason to hate me. In fact I hate myself Patricia. I am so sorry for leaving you for someone else.” Logan uttered. “Oh please, of course you are not sorry Logan. You are not, if your relationship or marriage hadn't failed you wouldn't have been sorry that's just the truth you would still be married to her. I looked you up, was I not into you all this while, I was your best friend or at least I thought I was, you broke off the engagement without even a word.” Logan was beyond pained hearing this. The truth of the matter is that Patricia was the one who was hurting the most and she was right about one thing: if Bethany hadn't betrayed him he would never have felt sorry he never might have even bothered to reach out to Patricia. “There i
LOGAN .H. BENTLEY'S REBOUND CHAPTER 43
The next morning, during breakfast, Mrs Howard noticed that her daughter kept smiling while eating. She didn't want to say anything about it until Logan had left. Because Logan, Sharon and the Howard family were having breakfast together, so asking her daughter something of that nature might be quite embarrassing for her. “So Logan, how is business?” Mr Howard asked. “Well it's moving slower than expected but with my diligence and my team's hard work I am pretty sure we will overcome any obstacles.” Logan uttered sternly. “That's good to hear, how is Terrence doing?” Mrs Howard asked. “He's getting better I believe.” Logan retorted while eating. Hearing that made Mr Howard shocked, there is no way Terrence would be sick and he wouldn't know about it even if they were both at odds with each other. “You mean to say uncle is sick?” Patricia asked with worry in her eyes. “Oh yes, when I got back he was really not doing great, I believe they said he had ALS and that his strength
LOGAN .H. BENTLEY'S REBOUND CHAPTER 44
When Troy got to his house he went in search of his wife in their home but she wasn't there, so he wanted to risk it all and go search for her at her family mansion. When she got there, the security guards bowed down respectfully like they normally do as he walked in; 'Everything is still fine, else they would have captured me by now. I believe Elizabeth still loves me and will not allow any harm come to me. I believe it, that's why she hasn't told her father yet.’ He thought. Unknown to him that they were all instructed to act like nothing happened. There was no way Mr Kennedy's only daughter would be unhappy and he wouldn't find out. Earlier that day when butler Maxwell was trying to give Elizabeth the envelope something in him pushed him to check it out, he had earlier opened it and saw the escapades of Troy. He got so enraged but comports himself, he acted like he saw nothing and gave her (Elizabeth) the envelope, besides it would be better if she knew it herself rather tha

Elizabeth got so drunk that night, thankfully, they were able to get out of the club without any complications, they were looking really enticing that some men had their eyes on them. If they hadn't gotten a bouncer, they might have been abducted. “I love this.” Elizabeth said drunkenly, She had emptied a whole bottle of whisky just so she could forget her problems but it wasn't working. So she drank more than a lot until she was drunk, thankfully they had a trusted guard by their sides to protect them else it would have been messy for both ladies. “I love clubbing!!” Elizabeth said and continued to talk gibberish on their way back to the hotel they booked. It was already around midnight so they had a lot of fun together. Eunice was smiling as she saw her friend who had always been uptight being free. ‘I hope starting today you become a brand new person.’ She thought. ***** The next day Bethany's eyes were dark, she couldn't fall asleep because she was scared of what would

CHAPTER 208
Bethany sat in the car on a quiet road a few miles from the Bentley estate, her hands trembling as she clutched the steering wheel. She had driven here in desperation and Troy as well as Carter had flanked her from behind, but Logan’s guards had turned her away without even hearing her out. Tears welled down in her eyes as she thought about her daughter, alone and in danger. Her phone buzzed on the passenger seat, and she flinched, hesitating before picking it up. Rick’s message was short and brutal; “Time’s up. No freedom, no daughter.” ‘How did he have my phone number? Of course he is a notorious man. What's so special about my phone number that it would be too hard to get?’ She thought. Bethany began to sob, her body shaking as she tried to gather her thoughts. Logan wasn’t coming, he was too caught up in his own war to help her. How could she expect him to drop his own family obligations just so he could save a child who wasn't his, not to talk of one whom she had turn
CHAPTER 207
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
