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

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

Before the team could finalize their plans, Sean’s laptop blared an alert. It was a red warning that flashed across the screen of his laptop: “Network breach detected.” “They’ve found us!” Sean yelled, his fingers flying over the keyboard. Suddenly, the farmhouse windows shattered as drones swooped in, their blades slicing the air. Gunfire erupted outside as Council operatives descended in waves. “Move!” Logan shouted, grabbing Patricia’s hand. Terrence and Sean covered their escape, firing at the advancing operatives. “Go! We’ll hold them off!” Terrence barked. Thankfully, Alex the mercenary was still around so he had to protect Terrence who was able to get out of there in one piece. Logan pulled Patricia through the back door, weaving through the trees as bullets whizzed and fly past them. The roar of an approaching helicopter grew louder as it gets closer to them, its spotlight was sweeping the forest ever so ferociously. “They’re everywhere!” Patricia gasped for brea

CHAPTER 165
“Logan Bentley, well, he and his father who was supposed to be our ally continues to defy every expectations. Not only did they rescue Patricia Howard, but also managed to leave a facility we designed to be inescapable, they left it alive and without so much as a scratch. Yet our building fell again, that is totally not acceptable.” The woman in the sharp suit, known only as Wren, crossed her arms and leaned against the table. “The young Bentley is a problem indeed but then the bigger issue is that others are starting to believe the Council can be challenged.” Knox turned his gaze to her, he uttered; “And what would you propose, dear Wren? You failed to keep Patricia Howard under your supervision. I trust you won’t fail again.” Wren straightened, and said, “Bentley’s recklessness is his greatest weakness. He’s predictable, emotional. He’ll always prioritize his loved ones over strategy. That’s how we’ll break him.” Another Council member, a muscular man uttered; “We’ve already

Sean pointed to a live feed on the central monitor. The image was a little blurred but it was unmistakably, Patricia Howard, Logan's last shot at love. She was bound to a chair, her head slumped forward. She was out cold and blood was gushing out of her forehead, she must have put on a lot of resistance. The background was a white room room around it were flickering fluorescent lights, thus, it was hard to decipher where she was in. “They took her,” Sean said, his voice tight with controlled fury, he added; “The Council is retaliating, their plan is to hit us where it hurts.” Logan’s blood ran cold as he stared at the screen. His hands were curled into fists to the point that his nails were digging hard into his palms. “Where is she?” Logan demanded, his voice low and dangerous. Sean pulled up a map, highlighting a remote facility deep in the mountains. “Satellite intel puts her here. It’s heavily guarded—Council operatives, drones, and likely traps. They want us to come for h

Logan was quite hot headed and an idea popped into his head and he wanted to see someone in the council, someone high enough he needed to stop playing games with them. He walked towards one of the supposed Council backups and stated sternly. “Hey you, I need to speak to your director right now.” The agent hesitated and surprised that the person they were chasing would come out to the open. And since there were other people who weren't from the council members present at the scene, there was nothing he could do but say; “The Director is currently en route to another operation… she..” “I don’t care where she is,” Logan snapped, his tone brooking no argument. “Tell her it’s about Project Solace, I am sure she’ll listen.” The agent nodded reluctantly, pulling out a secure comm device. As he relayed the message, Logan felt a hand on his shoulder. It was Terrence. His voice was low, almost a whisper. “You think Haynes is clean? This is a dangerous move.” “I don’t know if she is c

CHAPTER 162
It was the figure of a man, who was staring at his screen attentively, as his face illuminated the glow of the screens. Each of the monitors displayed a different angle of the now-destroyed facility, he was very much upset. On one of the screens, this man zoomed in and saw his enemies, Logan and his team as they retreated, they were barely visible due to the fire burning and the smoke. He was wearing a suit and a silver ring engraved with a strange symbol, he smirked at the sight of this. His cold, calculating eyes didn’t waver as he sipped from a glass of Hennessy. “Impressive, I must say,” he muttered to himself, spinning the glass lazily. “Logan's resilience is… is irritating, but commendable. And Terrence, oh, Terrence, just so predictable… Always predictable as always.” He pressed a button on his desk, just then a beep followed, and the voice of an assistant responded instantly. “Yes, sir?” “Deploy Unit Seven. I want Logan tracked. Leave him enough rope to play
