Face buried in the paper spewed over the table he pondered on the next course of action at that moment, he had listened to the woman and after she had left he was pondering on what she had said.Yes, quite alright he knew the woman was not to be trusted, but still, at that same time, there was something about her that she couldn't quite comprehend at that moment.Still with the thought heavy on his mind his phone buzzed, he picked it up and sounded as casually as he could despite the thoughts that were running at the back of his mind at that moment.“Hello.”The next moment he loses his cool and pushes himself. At that moment he was rather furious about the news he was hearing as it appeared unbelievable to him. “What are you talking about? He was glamorous.His heart paces at an insane speed, mind furious about all that could be racing through his mind at that moment.“How in the hell!" He scoffs and walks out of the room.He barges into Josie's room and she looks up as he startles
Logan with a face that seemed shadowed with distress let out no a deep sigh -“So that is it, someway and somehow they've found out about my deal and my plot and all this thanks to your brother, Andre.”He seemed subjected to his thoughts and was a slave to it, it was obvious that he was already convinced that this was happening, and if it was happening again it showed clearly that it would be very much hard for him to trust her. “Well if you will believe me, I would just like to say that I didn't say anything… Fine, I might have been a bitch to you in the past but that was all in the past, I can't harm you.”There was a pause that filled the room and appeared to drift around it, as it was he just was frustrated as he didn't know what or who you believed. Logan had just told her about that deal that was about to go south after a previous success and this time he didn't hold anything back, he told her exactly how everything had happened till she was left there as he was speechless an
Logan was still caught In that daze that was at the back of his mind, he was troubled while thinking of the right thing to do at that moment, some part of his mind felt troubled by the sequence of events.“All this is looking rather weird." He mutters to himself thinking about the situation. All that filled his mind was the conversation he had with Josie, in a way he was starting to feel restless about everything that was happening-.Still, there was that desire deep inside of his soul, there was that need seeking to find answers to all the thriving questions that were happening at that moment.“What should I do?" At that moment the question was directed to no one but still sweat ran through his face that was bent over the table, he tried as he could to control his heartbeat which landed swiftly on the paper that was right there on the table. He rubbed his face and took a look at his watch… Should he just leave at this moment?The thought crept through his mind but at that moment
Back at the apartment … Josie kept pacing the room as she was feeling rather unsettled, she opted to walk to the window and looked out of it anticipating his return but still, there was nothing to look at than the vast darkness that was looming outside the window.The evening reminded her of a lot of previous times as it had a similar feeling, a call of deja Vu or whatever but she was trying to push the thoughts out of her mind.The door creaks and she turns to see Amber walking in with a tray.She looked away, tearing her gaze off the woman and focusing Instead back outside the window.Amber could sense her distress. She made her way to where she was at the window as she looked to have questions-“Still no calls," Amber questioned as she was worried as well." There is still no communication from him and trust me.” She sobered up quickly.Amber was consumed by the same dark feeling that looked to be hovering in the room." This doesn't feel right, they had been gone for hours and it i
Logan, feeling disturbed had walked out of the room where he had been with Charlie. It had been three hours and yet there was no sign that anyone was coming, at least not at that moment. The more he tried to understand the situation, the harder it was for him at that moment.“What do you want to do about that?” she asked him at that moment while trying to deal with the situation.It was very difficult for him to understand the entire situation, and for a funny reason, he just thought to tell her about everything at that moment.Walking back to the room, he was still feeling rather unsettled about all that was happening at that moment.He settles down and again his attention is turned away from where he was to Charlie.This time he was rather impatient with his question -“Are they still not here?" He questioned.As he did he took notice of the fact that Charlie had been on a call before now, there was that feeling he was getting over and over again about the entire situation.“I don't
This felt like the most complicated situation he could ever find himself in at that moment, with time passing he thought of what more to do, Logan could feel that sharp pain at the back of his head, he turned as he felt a sharp pain at the back of his head. He was so far lost in himself that it didn't cross his mind a bit what had happened, he tried touching his head and could see a blood-stained hand— it was going all dramatic, especially with the fact that he was Still confused about what to do.Time had passed, and when he was finally able to get himself up, he wasn't confined but still, that bit of darkness hovered around, it was still feeling all blurry but slowly he could make out everything—he could still feel the need for him to pacify everything that seemed to be going on at that moment.“Boss… “ The voice seemed quite familiar but had that bit of sarcasm.He had looked around and when he saw who it was that had spoken he felt rather confused -Slowly it came to his memory,
Something seemed weird about everything as at that moment, she was feeling rather confused about why she was having the strange feeling at the back of her mind, it had been three hours since they had arrived back at the apartment and presently she was pacing around the room thinking of what to do about the entire situation.She was still pacing around the room when Amber walked to where she was at that moment.“Are you still here waiting for him?" She had asked.She couldn't get herself to think less about the situation, there was that feeling that something was wrong, she couldn't tell what it was but at that moment there was something at the back of her mind and she couldn't dispute it “I am just worried." That was all she could say at that moment." He will be fine.” She had muttered. “Well, what else would you call it?” she muttered.“You are just getting worried over something that is normal… He might just be in the traffic.”"Traffic? “ She grimaced." You are just getting
When he walked in that moment, Josie looked up at the man — Charlie.Something looked weird about him and she couldn't wrap her fingers around him at that moment but she could tell that something was weird about him, but what it was she couldn't wrap her mind around it at that moment… “I came to check on you." He had muttered when he walked in.Josie who looked up at him with a gesture that seemed displeased, looked around and could see the State for the room."You are taking things too hard on yourself.” He muttered.She was rather frustrated as she didn't know what to do at that moment.If there was anything that she wanted at that moment, it was to have that bit of … That peace. All she wanted at that moment was to see Logan walk through the door as she was still finding it hard to believe that he was dead." I am not feeling too well, I think there is a need for me to see the doctor.”He had looked at her as though rattled by what she had asked.“There is something I want to t
After Andre was shot by Logan and he picked jersey up hurrying out of the hallway to get help from his men, things happen so fast after that.Just like he predicted, Andre's men scattered the moment they found that their leader was gone, not even bothering to put off a fight since in their words… ‘it was not worth it’. Instead of feeling relieved and satisfied that he got the upper hand, Logan sent some of his men after them to make sure that every member of Andrews team was nullified.Thankfully, Jackson was on standby to oversee the rest of the operations because Logan didn't even bother waiting back, jumping into the ambulance to take Josie to the hospital.Calling for reinforcements on his way there, Logan kept hoping that they weren't too late.Already, Josie's pallor was ashy and her breathing was slow.Even her hands seemed cold and clammy, although the latter part might just be his hand.Immediately, they got to the ER, Logan took over, commanding the nurses to get a doctor do
Logan's heart dropped to his stomach as he stared at Josie in surprise, wondering what the hell she was doing back here.She must have known he'd feel the same way because her eyes flicked up to his and she mouthed the words ‘I'm sorry’.“Looks like I didn't have to go so far to cause you anguish, Logan.” Andre laughed. “She came straight to me.”Logan took a step towards them. “Hey, look Andre. You don't have to do this, she's innocent in all of this!”“How so? Don't talk to me like I'm an illiterate, I know she's behind all of the plannings you've taken recently… so maybe she wasn't part of this before but you certainly knew how to welcome her into the lifestyle.” Andre chuckled, twisting his gun around so it was pointed directly at her heart.In all of Logan's years dealing with enemies, territory fighting and impeachment from subordinates, he never was once a scared as he was right now.It was now he knew what it meant to have your weaknesses directed at you. Logan would gladly giv
Waving his gun in front of Logan's face, Andre smirked, cocking his head to the side. “Well, well, well… What's going to be a lover boy? Are you going to shoot first or should I?”Logan didn't even flinch at the empty threats. “If you wanted me dead, you could have done so the moment my team walked in through the front door of the building.”Andre clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth. “That's true but you getting shot randomly by one of my men wasn't the plan. It would only rob me of the joy I would get from shooting you in the face by myself and taking the crown while the blood leached out of your body.”Logan chuckled softly which then grew into full-blown laughter, only serving to irritate Andre.“What the hell is so funny, huh?’ Andre grunted, taking a step closer.Logan ignored him, laughing on for as long as he wanted, only slowing the sound down to a trickle a couple of minutes later. “I'm just amused…” “I didn't realize that my words were that funny.” he huffed
Chapter 167: The Final Showdown Logan's team stood victorious. Eclipse was defeated. Andre was gone. But questions remained. Why did Andre target Logan's family? What secrets did Eclipse hide? Logan's eyes met Ethan's."Time for answers," Logan said. Ethan nodded."I'll tell you everything," Ethan promised. Logan's grip on Ethan's shoulder tightened."Brother," Logan said. Ethan smiled."Home," Ethan whispered.Logan's team gathered around Ethan in a secure facility. Ethan's eyes scanned the room nervously. Logan's expression softened."Tell us, Ethan," Logan encouraged. Ethan took a deep breath."Eclipse wanted Dad's research," Ethan began."Research on what?" Rachel asked. Ethan hesitated."Artificial intelligence," Ethan revealed."AI?" Jackson repeated. Ethan nodded."Dad's AI project. Code-named 'Erebus'." Sophia's eyes narrowed."Erebus?" Sophia repeated. Ethan's voice dropped."Dad's creation. A powerful AI.Capable of global control." Logan's eyes widened."That's why Andre
Chapter 165: Rescue Mission Logan's team huddled around the tactical map, their faces illuminated only by the faint glow of the computer screens."Alright, here's the plan," Logan said, his voice low and steady, his eyes locked onto the layout. "Rachel, take point. Jackson, you're with me. We'll breach from the east wing."Rachel nodded, her piercing green eyes scanning the blueprint. "I've hacked the security feeds. We've got a 30-second window before they realize we're in."Jackson checked his gear, his rugged features set with determination. "I'm ready to take out their comms."Logan's gaze locked onto the mission objective, his jaw clenched. "Josie's being held in the central cell block. We need to move fast." The team nodded, their faces set with resolve, their breathing steady. They moved out, their footsteps silent as they approached the heavily fortified facility. Rachel took point, her pistol leading the way, her movements fluid."Security team incoming," she whisper
Logan's team had been searching for Amber for weeks, and finally, they had her in custody. The dimly lit interrogation room was eerily silent, the only sound coming from the hum of the fluorescent lights above. Amber sat calmly, her hands cuffed to the metal table. Her eyes locked onto Logan, who stood at the far end of the room, arms crossed."You're a hard woman to find, Amber," Logan said, his deep voice firm.Amber smirked. "You're not the first to underestimate me, Logan."Logan's team leader, Rachel, stepped forward. "Let's get down to business. We know you're involved with Andre's operation. Tell us what you know."Amber leaned back, a calculated glint in her eye. "I'll tell you everything, but first, I want immunity."Logan raised an eyebrow. "You think you're in a position to negotiate?"Amber's smile widened. "I have information you desperately need. Josie's location, for starters." Rachel's eyes snapped to Logan, who nodded curtly."Deal," Rachel said. "But if you're lying,
Logan ran his hands all over her body, brushing away her hair so he could clearly scrutinize every bruise or cuts the marred her perfect face. “Are you sure you're okay?”She nods, smiling. “Yes. Even though for a mom and dad feared that I might not make it out alive but…you made hold on a little while longer.”Logan nods, a picture of happiness and contentment on the outside but on the inside, he was actually boiling, livid that he wasn't able to get to her in time before that animal, Andre put his hands on her. *It's okay, you're safe now and I promise you that Andre's not going to hurt you anymore.” He promises, looking into her eyes.Her smile never wavered, even though it got a little shaky at the mention of Andre's name. “I really don't care. I'm safe and I'm here with you, that's all that matters.”Logan kept talking to her, making sure to avoid asking her what went down during her kidnapping, trying to reassure her as best as he could.A couple of minutes later, he could see Ja
Josie was working on her laptop when she got a text. It was from Amber and the tone of the text screamed urgency.Amber: Josie, please where are you? I need your help!Spooked by the weird way Amber was trying to text her, Josie reached for her phone and tried to call Amber.Unfortunately it wasn't going through and that only made Josie more worried, so she texted back.Josie: Where are you? What's going on?Almost immediately, a response dropped but it wasn't the type that she was looking for.It was a pin to her location with the words ‘hurry’ in capital letters next to it.Josie debated on reaching out for help or talking to Logan about it but she decided that it to be too late to help if the matter really was as urgent as Amber was making it out to be, plus the location she dropped was less than 30 minutes away.If she drives straight there and right back, she would be back before Logan was aware.With that decision made, Josie slammed her laptop closed, reaching for her jacket,
“Start talking and maybe I'll not start slicing off your flesh,” Logan ordered, his patience wearing thin.There's no way he'll allow Andre to get his way, even if it means giving up everything he's worked so hard for.He didn't know when it happened, but Josie was like a nasty bug, one that gets under your skin whether you want it to or not.Amber wets her lips, darting her eyes towards Jackson's figure. For some reason, she seems to be more scared of Jackson than the man who's sliced into her skin like a piece of meat.Logan snapped his fingers to gain her attention. “I was asking you a question! What do you know about Josie's kidnapping and Andre's plans all along?”Logan made sure to waggle the tip of the bloody life in front of her face. Once her eyes landed on it, she went pale swallowing up spit. “Okay, okay! I'll tell you what I know!”Logan sat back, waving his hands. “Start talking.”“Um…” she smacked her lips. “Can I get a glass of water, please?” Jackson grunted and she qui
