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.

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.

“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.

“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

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

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

As the night grew deeper, the table emptied, leaving only Logan, Alexander, Seraphina, and Udinov nursing their drinks. Patricia had gone to check on a renovation project upstairs, giving Logan a rare moment alone with his children. He leaned forward, resting his arms on the table. “You’re all too busy.” Seraphina smirked. “That’s rich, coming from you.” Logan chuckled. “I know. But when was the last time you all sat like this? No boardrooms, no deals, no strategies?” None of them answered and then Logan sighed. “You were raised to be strong, to command, to win. But power without family means nothing.” Alexander exhaled, rubbing his temples. “You’re getting sentimental here, Dad.” “Maybe,” Logan admitted and continued; “Or maybe I just don’t want you three to lose what I fought so hard to build, which was not the empire, but this.” Alexander tapped the rim of his glass. “And what exactly is this?” Logan looked at them, they were his legacy, his greatest creations, he utt
CHAPTER 262
Udinov got another text from his dad's right hand that the meeting was postponed, so he decided to join Seraphina and Alexander for dinner at their family estate, then he would go back home to his parents after. Besides, the Bentley family are like his first home, he calls Patricia ‘mama’ and she treats him like a second son she never had. They boarded a flight and headed home. The Bentley Estate was standing brightly, in the twilight, its grandeur was untouched by time. The sprawling mansion was an empire in itself, it was where titans were raised. Tonight, however it was not about power or strategy, it was about family. Seraphina Bentley stepped out of her sleek car, a product of her company’s innovation. The estate’s lights illuminated the driveway, which was a path she had walked on since childhood. She didn’t need to knock, the doors swung open as if the house itself knew she had arrived. "About time," a familiar voice drawled. She smirked as Alexander leaned again
CHAPTER 261
Seraphina, Alexander, and Udinov had eliminated The Black Concordat. The world was once again theirs. But power was never still. It was always shifting, always evolving. And now, they had to decide if they would rule the world as it was or if they would reshape it? They didn’t just want an empire, they wanted absolute dominion. Few months later, in a private island in the Mediterranean A meeting unlike any other had been arranged. The most powerful people in the world, billionaires, world leaders, and shadow rulers all arrived in secret, each escorted by heavily armed security. But at the center of it all, inside a grand glass-walled hall overlooking the ocean, stood three figures. They were none other than Seraphina, his twin brother Alexander Bentley and Udinov Volkov. This meeting wasn't one of negotiation, it was a declaration. Seraphina spoke first, her voice steady and commanding. "You are all here because you think you control the world, but let me make something
CHAPTER 260
With the Dominions wiped out, the Bentley-Volkov dynasty had reclaimed its throne. 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 259
Over the years, many years later, the world had changed. The names Bentley and Volkov were no longer just synonymous with wealth. They had become something more, they had become an unstoppable dynasty that shaped economies, influenced governments, and controlled the very pulse of power in the world. Logan Bentley and Damien Volkov had done the impossible, they had not only built an empire, but they had ensured its survival. But every empire faces its greatest challenge, because the bigger it becomes the more threats it attracts. And this time, the threat wasn’t from the outside like it used to be, this particular one was from within. Seraphina Bentley grew up to become the Visionary of the empire, she had always been so smart and took her father's brilliance and foresight. She is a strategist, a builder, a force just at the age of twenty-three, she had transformed Bentley Innovations into an empire of the future, dominating artificial intelligence, clean energy, and spac
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
CHAPTER 257
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
CHAPTER 256
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
