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?

''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.''

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?''

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?

"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."

"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.

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

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
