The Hunchback Son-in-law Traitor
Logan emerged unscathed from the explosion, the shockwave rolling over him without leaving a mark. As the debris settled, he stood up, dusting off his suit with a calm expression. He strolled through the wreckage, his eyes scanning the room while his brain worked. It was clearly possible that someone had set up the bomb with the right timing. Their intentions were to kill him while everyone is out of the meeting hall. "Thank you FRIDAY," Logan said genuinely. "This system has done nothing but protect me from disastrous situations."Suddenly, the door was kicked open, and a group of servants rushed in with gas masks and fire extinguishers. They were prepared to rescue Logan, but as the smoke cleared, their eyes widened in shock and disbelief. "Boss! Are you okay?" one of them stammered, his jaws dropping as he took in the scene of Logan standing unharmed amidst the destruction.Before Logan could respond, Umberto and the other pillars of the Rossi clan bursting into the room.
The Hunchback Son-in-law The tea party
Logan walked into the room where Scar, Ginny and Sienna were waiting for him. They all looked up as he walked in. Logan didn't wait for anyone. He began talking. "Alright, everyone listen up. I arranged for this meeting cause we're on a special mission." He paused to let that sink into their skulls. When no one answered, he proceeded. To Ginny, he asked, "what've you got for me, Ginny?"Ginny crushed her cigarette. She was seated beside the window. "Nothing special. I showed Scar Nagisa's home. Her family are made up of numerous families all together. Uncles, grandparents, aunties, cousins and so on. It's an extended family. They're scattered across Japan. Nagisa lives with her Uncle. She works as a geisha at her uncle's Chashitsu."Logan frowned. "What's a Chashitsu?" "It'sa Japanese architectural space designed to be used for tea ceremony gatherings," Scar explained. "That's all we could did up."Logan knew a thing or two about geisha. He once fantasied about sleeping with one
The Hunchback Son-in-law Horuto
A Japanese tea ceremony is about tea only on its surface. From the positioning of guests to the cleaning of the tools to the scooping of the loose-leaf tea, everything has significance. Logan was provided with slippers as soon as He arrived at the tea room. Shoes aren't allowed in the tea room. Haruto ushered him in as his host. Once inside a tea room, there are a few additional rules that apply. Logan entered the room on his knees, avoiding stepping on the center of the mats. Instead of using his palms, Logan used his closed fists when touching the mats, (for hygiene). It was then Logan saw Haruto's guests. They were all good businessmen but other than that, Logan don't know who they were.Sienna was the last guest. She wore a lovely dress that highlighted her out of the party.The guests welcomed Logan warmly and they exchanged pleasantries. Five of them sat round a table chatting and drinking sake. It was the way businessmen love to be treated. Their host served them w
The Hunchback Son-in-law Sienna and Nagisa
Sienna had dressed into a kimono and was titivating herself before the mirror. She was at it when her shoji door slid opened, revealing Nagisa. Sienna took in a deep breath as she turned around and faced Nagisa.She was aware this pretty Japanese girl would be difficult. With the little information Logan had fed her ears with, she was certain she could take Nagisa down. Nagisa hadn't changed out of her geisha outfit yet. She still held that captivating look that had stunned Logan. She knew Nagisa had made an impression on his mind. Whatever the reason was, she was prepared to carry out her duty to Logan. She must protect Logan at all cost. "You asked for me?" Nagisa asked and it was surprising how soft and compelling her voice sounded. "Yes," Sienna said, brushing a strand of her hair aside and working her charm. "That was an extraordinary performance you did back there. I love it."Nagisa bowed slightly. " Thank you."Sienna walked towards the bed and sat down. "Come sit next
The Hunchback Son-in-law Surrender
Staring at Nagisa right now, Logan felt sorry for her. She was trembling with rage and hunger for revenge. Logan became aware just how much her uncle meant to her. Perhaps that was the reason he killed him. He knew her uncle's death would shake her core. Nagisa made to pounce on Logan but he stopped her immediately with a wave of my hand. "I wouldn't advise you to do that, Nagisa. It's best if you listen to what I have to say. This whole Chashitsu is wired into a bomb."Nagisa stood fixed where she was, her green eyes watchful and calculative. Logan had a forewarning this woman was going to be difficult. Pulling out a button remote from his pocket, he showed it to her. "I'm not bluffing. Before venturing here, I had my two best men plant numerous bombs underneath this very building we are in. Now I know the Chashitsu meant a lot to you and your uncle. It's a family heritage, right? Your uncle's great grand father passed it on to his children so they can pass it to the next for g
The Hunchback Son-in-law Confessions
Nagisa sat at the back while Scar drove. Logan sat beside her, sticking the tip of his gun under her rib cage. He had taken the trouble of having her handcuffed. She wouldn't be causing any trouble as long as Logan had her hands cuffed behind her back. Sienna sat at the passenger seat at the front. She kept staring at Nagisa and Logan through the rear mirror. It had been a smooth operation. They had sneaked out of the Chashitsu before the servants would realize the massacre. None of them said anything to each other during the long drive.Suddenly, Nagisa spoke, "Where are we going?"Scar glared at her through the rear mirror. His expression told Logan he disapproved of her."Shut up," Logan said, threatening her with the gun. "I don't wanna pull a bullet through your heart."Nagisa smirked at him. "Try it. You wouldn't dare open fire in traffic. If you do, you'd be inviting the cops."The traffic was getting slow. This wasn't the place to shoot someone. Logan realized if he d
The Hunchback Son-in-law The Casino
Logan appeared to be lost. Nagisa betraying her Boss? That seemed unlikely. "Can you at least tell me why you're betraying her?" Logan asked. Nagisa sighed. "A long time ago, I had a little sister. When we were kids, we got kidnapped by the Mona Lisa and taken away to a far away island.""My sister and I were violated every night along with other young girls. One day my sister died. I was kept in a stinky cell with numerous girls.""There were about two hundred girls all together. A hundred were picked to become assassins while the other hundred serve as harlots.""I was trained to work under the Mona Lisa for many years. At the end of my training, I took an oat to the Mona Lisa, then I was free to return back to my family.""I served the Mona Lisa for years but never for once did I forget what she did to my little sister. Secretly, I harboured a desired to kill the Mona Lisa but it was impossible."Logan stared at her feet. "That must be rough on you. You've got a sad backstory."
The Hunchback Son-in-law The final battle
Andrei pointed his finger at Logan. "By orders of the Mona Lisa, we are tasked to kill you. If you can make it out of the battle field alive, then take the stairs where Thandolwethu stands."Logan stared at Thandolwethu. He could tell she was skillful but that was all there is to her. There was nothing special about her. "Is that it?" Logan asked looking very confident. Andrei gritted his teeth. "You sound cocky but let me give you a warning. Don't underestimate Thandolwethu. She may look frail but she's a blood lusted killer."Logan shrugged. "I'll be the judge of that.""The stairs lead to the elevator. If by any chance, you survived Thandolwethu and killed her, you can take the elevator and head for room 204. The Mona Lisa would be waiting for you," Andrei said. Logan couldn't believe it. They were putting everything on the plate for him. All he had to do was defeat Andrei and Thandolwethu and the Mona Lisa was his. Just like that. Logan had an idea the Mona Lisa was settin

Ava, Yuna, Mi-young, Isabel, and Grace were all dressed in the finest wedding gown money could buy. Logan never thought they were this beautiful. They look like fallen angels. Kim Taeyang escorted them as they walked down the aisle together. He wore a proud look on his face. Kim Taeyang handed his granddaughters to Logan then returned back to his seat. The priest commenced the ceremony. "Dear beloved, we've all come today to witness the union of Logan and the Taeyang sisters in holy matrimony."The priest went further to start the vow taking.

Proposal
Logan knelt on both knees as he faced the Taeyang sisters. Ava, Yuna, Mi-young, Isabel and Grace surrounded him. "I know you probably hate me by now," Logan said. "I owe each and everyone of you an apology. I'm deeply sorry for abandoning you for six months. It was never my intention to stay away that long. I had to deal with things that I couldn't involve you in. That's why I didn't come back."Silence. The Taeyang sisters stared at him. Logan thought they would lash at him just like Grace did with him. But surprisingly, Ava stepped forward. "Logan, stand up."When Logan stood up and lifted his eyes to meet hers, he stiffened. There were tears in Ava's eyes. "Logan, you have no idea how much I've missed you. I thought you'd never come back. I'm happy you came."Isabel approached him. She was all smiles. "I also forgive you, Logan. We all do. It's been a messy six months, but we understood you had thing's you wanted to sort out by yourself."Logan looked down at her swollen belly

Promise
"I am Logan, the Taeyang sisters boyfriend," Logan declared. Tom Hankins face suddenly changed into a mask of hate. "So, you're the bastard Yuna keeps yapping about, huh?""I'm glad you've heard of me," Logan replied. "That makes things easier for both of us.""No it doesn't," Tom snapped. "You're all the Taeyang sisters talk about. I've tried repeatedly to court them but they're so obsessed with you it's sickening."Logan rubbed the back of his head, laughing embarrassingly. "Sorry you had to go through all that. I don't know how I did it either.""Don't feel sorry for me," Tom brawled. "The Taeyang family are facing a serious financial crises after you abandoned them. What are you going to do about it, boy?"Logan took a deep breath, then he spoke, "I've offered to buy Kim Taeyang's shares. I'll settle the company's debt and boost its stocks."Tom's laughter echoed in the room. "Wait a minute, You? This must be a sitcom. Where the hell are you going to get that kind of money, Loga

Tom Hankins
Taeyang groups was at the edge of collapsing. Tom Hankins, a wealthy business tycoon offered to buy Kim Taeyang's shares. With that comes a second price. He wants to marry three of the Taeyang sisters, Mi-young, Yuna and Grace. "Of course I declined," Kim Taeyang said as their cars pulled up outside Taeyang groups. "But Tom Hankins isn't the type of man to give up that easily. When he wants something he gets it."Logan and grace stepped out of the car and followed Kim Taeyang into the lobby. "He must think you're very desperate," Logan commented. "That's why he's piling up the pressure on you to sell since you're the major shareholder.""Left for me, I wouldn't sell," Kim Taeyang said. "But what about our shareholders, our investors and our clients? We need to think about what they want. Selling off my shares might just save the company but if I do that, I'll also be selling off my granddaughters."Logan didn't say anything as they approached the receptionist counter. The recepti

Debts
Logan felt very emotional. He had expected Kim Taeyang to hate him, but instead, Kim Taeyang forgave him and even welcomed him back. "Mr Kim," Logan's face hardened. "I promise you this, I'll fix this whole mess if it's the last thing I do."Kim Taeyang raised an eyebrow. "I know you're very incredible, Logan, but can you really?"Just as Logan was about to answer, the door opened and Grace stepped inside. She stiffened when she saw Logan. Then her eyes widened as she glanced at her grandfather and saw how well he was."I don't believe it," she rushed over to her grandfather and embraced him. "Grandfather, you've recovered. I thought I'd never see you again. Thank goodness you're still alive."Logan watched them as Kim Taeyang returned her bug with a reassuring kiss on her forehead. "It's okay, my pretty," he said. "I'm fine now. It's all thanks to Logan. He healed me."Grace broke her hug then casted her gaze at Logan. She wasn't smiling. Her countenance was dark. "I'm sorry, g

Divine healing
The gate opened in the streets of Seoul as Logan stepped out of the portal. "It's so good to be back," Logan said, breathing in the air. Then he frowned. "Something feels off. The air smells a bit crisp."Logan navigated his way through the busy side walk. "I hope I wasn't gone too long?"Suddenly, he stopped walking as he stood before a newspaper vendor. Something caught his eyes. It was the headline on the front page. Written in bold letters, Logan read out loud. "Taeyang family faces financial crises as Kim Taeyang battles illness?"Logan grabbed a copy and quickly skimmed through the article, his heart pounding. From Logan's finding, it was revealed that Kim Taeyang suddenly fell ill. Being the family's patriarch, his deteriorating health led to instability within the family businesses. The Taeyang conglomerate future now hangs in the balance as the Taeyang sisters and their few investors struggled to keep the company afloat. Logan's hands were shaking as he realized all the

Logan glanced at Thandolwethu out of the corner of his eyes. "You seriously want to do this?" He asked. Thandolwethu grunted. "Try me. I'm not playing around."Logan chuckled softly. "If you think you're going to win against me by blowing yourself up, then you're in for a surprise because I can't die."Thandolwethu scoffed. "As if.""I'll make you an offer," Logan said. "I'll let you live if you take me to the Mona Lisa. I promise not to hurt you.""You think I'll easily betray my mistress?" Thandolwethu said angrily. "For your information, I've sworn my loyalty to the Mona Lisa. You can't change my mind."Logan started walking towards the stairs. Thandolwethu stiffened in shock. "Why are you moving? I'll pull the strings if you take another step."Logan kept walking. It was as if he had gone deaf all of a sudden. Sweat beads formed on Thandolwethu's face as she cried out. "You bastard! Don't you fear death?"Logan was now ascending up the stairs. He glanced at her out of the corn
