Butler Maxwell walks into the room where Troy had been locked in and uttered; “You stink! It's time you washed up because this just might be the last time you have a warm bath.” “What do you mean by that, you bastard?” Troy Reece uttered. “Exactly what you think it is, it's time for you to leave this house permanently. You still have pride, I have had enough of you!” “Whatever!! You are always going to be Kennedy's lapdog, that's what you will always be!” Troy Reece uttered. “At least I am something unlike you. You are going to be nothing but trash after your divorce with the household's lady. I can't wait to see what you will become now. Even being someone's lap dog just might be too high for you to reach after all!” Butler Maxwell retorted with a smile. Troy Reece stared at him in rage, his eyes were filled with fear and anger. Fear of the unknown, because unlike what they think he doesn't have a dime anymore unless he goes back to his old ways which would be death
LOGAN .H. BENTLEY'S REBOUND CHAPTER 71
Having nowhere else to go but to his own space Troy got into a cab with hopes that his aunt would have some money to pay the cab driver. He was used to driving around and he couldn't walk for a long period of time. He finally got to his aunt's house, he came down and the cab driver uttered; “You are yet to pay for the trip!” “Give me a moment, let me go in and bring cash.” He uttered and went into the house. “Good evening aunt!” He greeted but was met with a cold stare and expression from the older woman. The large, dimly lit living room feels colder than usual, the fading sunlight casting eerie shadows across the walls. Naomi Reece was pacing furiously near the fireplace. A framed picture of her in her judge’s robe sits on the mantle, but the warmth and pride it once held now felt distant as that isn't who she was going to be known as any longer. Troy stands near the door, arms crossed, his face resolute but weary. He watched as Naomi twirls around to face him, her expres

LOGAN .H. BENTLEY'S REBOUND CHAPTER 73
Troy Reece late that night decided it would be best to go to an ATM machine to find out how much was left in that credit card he was holding so as to know his next step! Staring at the stolen credit card in his hand. The numbers were printed boldly in silver, catching the dim light of the streetlamp outside. He inserted it into the ATM machine and it was Four hundred thousand dollars. Not enough to change his life. It wasn’t even his, but then again, what was left of his life that he could call his own? His achievements, his marriage, his reputation—gone, all thanks to Bethany. He hadn’t meant for things to spiral so far out of control. But when Bethany had walked into his life, everything he thought he knew about stability, about self-control, had collapsed. She had reignited that fire inside him, the thrill, the risk, the desire for more which had spiraled into his doom. He had nothing now, not a single thing! But now that he was being helpless the thoughts that h

Inside, the room was quieter, more subdued. The stakes were higher, the risks greater. This was where fortunes were won and lost in a blink of an eye. Tonight, Troy was betting everything he had as he felt this was the only way he could be himself again. He approached the table, eyeing the other players. A few glanced up at him, trying to know if he was worthy of being there, but most kept their focus on the cards in front of them. The dealer nodded as Troy took a seat, sliding the card across, “Buy-in?” the dealer asked, his voice calm and professional. Troy hesitated for only a moment before answering. “Four hundred thousand.” Some turned to look at him again, to them that was a huge amount to be staked at once, but then what could they do, it wasn't their money, besides they had lost and staked more than that. There was a brief pause as the dealer tried to process the amount. Then, with a nod, he swiped the card and began counting out the chips. While the other players

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.

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 space exp
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

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
CHAPTER 254
Ethan slammed his laptop shut, his hands trembling. The email he sent to his father was supposed to be the end of it, but deep down, he knew it wasn’t. Troy Reece wasn’t the kind of man who gave up. And Ethan? He wasn’t the kind of person who forgave, how could he? That same ɗay, his phone buzzed. It was an unknown number, so he ignored it. It buzzed again and again and then he annoyingly answered it; “What?” A chuckle came through the line and the voice said; “Still got that temper, huh, kid?” Ethan’s blood ran cold. He hadn’t heard that voice in years. No. It couldn’t be. “Who is this?” he demanded. “You really forgot about me?“I raised you, boy. Gave you a roof. And this is how you repay me?” Ethan’s grip tightened around the phone. “Arthur,” he breathed. Arthur Stevens, was the last foster father Ethan ever had. The one who nearly broke him. “You owe me, boy,” Arthur continued. “You remember, don’t you? Everything I did for you? And now I see you got a rich daddy c
CHAPTER 253
