Chapter 001- Here we go again
Chapter 001- Here we go againIt was a busy night in the Contreal city mall of Heralzia, Logan was returning from his laundry job.Since childhood, Logan Reed had consistently worked hard to make ends meet. As a laundry attendant, his days were spent dashing from one place to another, picking up dirty clothes, and delivering the freshly washed ones to various businesses and individuals across Contreal.No matter how hard he toiled, his earnings remained insufficient to take care of himself and his mother.Even though he knew that his wife, Zora, was the second child of The Bennett Family, one of the wealthiest and most successful families in Heralzia, he didn't want to rely on her for financial support.A feeling of happiness and excitement enveloped him as he walked out of the mall.The reason for his excitement was a packaged parcel he held in his hand, which contained a beautiful flower vase he had saved up for months to buy for his mother-in-law, Madame Ruthie Bennett.Even though

Chapter 060- Meeting Father's Grave"I need reinforcements," Tempête snarled into the receiver, his voice steely. "Lord Logan's been taken away."************In the grand living room of the Reed Mansion, Diane paced back and forth, her voice rising with anger. "I swear, I’ll make sure that doctor rots in jail! How can a patient just go missing from his hospital, and he totally claims to know nothing about it?"Madame Amelia, seated on the couch, rubbed her knees in frustration. "Diane, calm down. What you did by involving the police might be a mistake. He could be innocent.""Innocent?" Diane shot back, her eyes blazing. "There's no way he doesn’t know something, mother. I’m certain he’s hiding information about Logan and Tempête’s whereabouts."Madame Amelia sighed deeply. "Instead of jumping to conclusions, we should focus on calling them. Have you tried their numbers again?"Diane paused, pulling out her phone. "I'll try Tempête's number on WhatsApp. Maybe that’ll work.""Please,

Chapter 059- Logan is kidnappedThe next day at the Lakub International Airport, the pilots maneuvered and landed the plane successfully in the hangar for private aircraft.On bringing the plane to a halt, two guards working as pilots came out of the cockpit with satisfaction-filled smiles plastered on their faces as they bowed to Logan and Tempête humbly.One of the pilots stepped forward. "We're on Afghanistan soil, my lord. Will you need us to come with you, sir? Lieutenant Tempête made us go through extensive training in the army and that's….""No, I don't need any of you to follow me around like I'm a toddler. Tempête will help with my needs." Logan interjected.The second pilot turned to Tempête. "Lieutenant sir, are we to wait here till you return?""Get a suitable hotel around here, you must be alert at all times," Tempête replied. Remember, we might end up being on the run and might call you to prepare the plane for flight even before we get here.""Understood, sir." The two

Chapter 058- Zora's New Ally "You're the daughter of my brother’s biggest business rival?" He questioned, hoping what he heard was wrong."I don't know about that, sir." Zora shrugged. "I have told you who I am. Can you please release me and let me go home now?"Piero couldn't help but frown at Zora's request. "You are not going home anytime soon, dear…. Especially if I didn't give you permission to do so.""Really?" Zora hissed and sighed, as she bent her head to look at the bare floor."You are yet to tell me what business you have with Logan Reed." Piero raised a brow. "Are you helping your weak father ‘clear the way’ or what business do you have with him exactly?"Zora bit her lips at Piero referring to her father as weak.Piero would shoot her if she dared to complain and she had no choice but to vent her anger on her innocent lips."I'm Zora, his wife. I mean….., ex-wife," Zora stuttered as she rolled her eyes ominously.Piero stood still for a few seconds, trying to process Zo

His chest rose and fell weakly, each breath seeming more strained than the last.Yvonne leaned over him, her fingers pressing against his neck. Her eyes widened with alarm."His pulse is getting weaker," she said sharply, her voice cutting through the quiet.She turned to the doctor, her expression hard. "Why is the check-up taking so long? Start the treatment now! Are you trying to let him die by not doing anything?"Madame Amelia, standing by the bed, clenched her fists, her eyes brimming with tears."Doctor, my son is in great discomfort! Why are you delaying? Do you want him to die before my very eyes?" she demanded, her voice trembling with both anger and despair.Diane stood rigid, her jaw tight with suppressed rage. "If my brother dies," she hissed, her tone low and dangerous, "everyone involved will pay for it… starting with you, doct

Chapter 056- El Piero kidnaps ZoraShe smirked from her perch, her finger pressing slightly against the trigger. ''Goodnight, Logan,'' she whispered, her voice cold and final.''The dart flew through the air with a soft ''whoosh'' before landing with a sharp ''thud'' on Logan's shoulder.Logan fell on his back and yelled out a scream as he clutched his shoulder in agony. ''My arm! Please remove this thing!'' He cried.Madame Amelia, Diane and Yvonne all tried to draw out the dart and also persuaded him to calm down.''Please stay still, Logan! Otherwise, we might not be able to pull it out before your body absorbs all the content.'' Yvonne implored as she tried to pull out the darts.''You don't have to speak to him that way, he's in great pain.'' Diane retorted at Yvonne, feeling jealous of not being removing the darts.Yvonne was offended at Diane's unnecessary complaints as she shot back. ''What way? Did I yell at him?'' ''I mean, let me handle him myself. He's my brother after a

Chapter 055- Zora aims at Logan Logan turned to one of the Reed family security guards who had followed him. ''Call the police. I want this man arrested immediately. He doesn't deserve to be in the streets.'' The guard nodded briskly and stepped forward to secure the man. Logan exhaled, trying teady himself as Diane pulled him aside. ''Are you okay?'' Logan ran a hand through his hair, his voice filled with emotion. ''No, I’m not okay. I can’t stand perverts like that. If I hadn’t seen him…'' Diane placed a hand on his shoulder. ''I know, brother. But you did the right thing. Let the police handle it now.'' Logan looked back one last time as the security guards dragged the candy vendor toward a waiting car. Suddenly, a woman stormed into the scene, dragging the little girl by the arm. Her eyes blazed with anger, and her grip was unrelenting. Logan felt his stomach tighten as he observed the harsh way she treated the child. He moved toward them, concern etched on his fac

Chapter 054- Logan saves little girlWith a sharp intake of breath, Zora met his gaze head-on. "My victim is Logan... my husband, the one I’m married to!" she declared.“What?” Bradley was taken aback. “You've still not forgotten about that guy. He doesn't care you, Zora.”“He forgot me but I'm not ready to forget about him. I'm married to him and he remains my husband.” Diane insisted as she kept admiring the gun.Bradley drew closer as he looked into Diane’s eyes. “But I do care about you, Zora. Why exactly are you not getting that…” “What exactly am I not getting, Bradley. Did I ask you for help or affection? Did I ask you to care about me?” Diane declaimed.“Zora, it's not like that,” Bradley murmured, moving closer as his hand reached out towards her arm.In a swift, instinctive motion, Zora swatted his hands away and pointed the tranquilizer gun at him, her movements sharp, her desperation bubbling to the surface. “Not like what, Bradley?” Her voice dropped dangerously low as

Chapter 53: Zora plans with BradleyLogan’s breath caught, anger flaring in his chest. ''And this caller? Did he say who he was?'’Diane looked up, her tear-filled eyes locking onto Logan’s. “Yes… He said his name. He said he was El Abrham.”Logan jumped to his feet, pacing the room in frustration. “That’s insane! Why would a criminal risk introducing himself? Doesn’t that seem weird to you? He practically left a trail for anyone to find him.”Diane wiped her tears, her voice calmer now but still heavy with emotion. “I thought the same thing, Logan. I asked Mum why anyone would do that. But she said she believed it wasn’t a risk for him because… maybe because no one could dare go after him.”Logan turned sharply, narrowing his eyes at her. “What do you mean, no one could dare go after him? Who the hell is El Abrham? A ghost? A shadow? An Afghan jihad terrorist? Why would Uncle Piero make Dad negotiate a business deal with a killer?”Diane’s voice was barely above a whisper. “I don't t

Chapter 052:Diane placed the letter on the desk, her expression resolute. ''Let’s quickly go to show mother. I'm very scared right now. What if uncle is back in the house?''''No, sister. It's just that you're not that observant,'' Logan replied, patting Diane on the shoulder.''Really? I'm not observant? What other things do you have to say about me? Speak it out, brother. Pour your silly mind out.'' Diane ranted, pretending to be annoyed at Logan's words remark.Logan curled his arms around Diane's neck and planted a soft peck on her robust cheeks. ''No, Diane. You're getting it all wrong. Sorry, I meant to say, you misquoted me. You didn't notice that your so-called uncle felt uneasy when he saw Soler, with us, in that state.'' Diane smirked, ''I didn't notice anything!''''He was rushing to get out of the estate. He was so scared Soler might have spilled the beans which would tarnish his image. You could see the fear on his face.'' Logan lamented, his voice straining.''I didn't
