The old man walked to Logan and hugged him tightly, he had his eyes filled with excitement and joy. He looked at Logan again and then turned to the manager. "It really is him, I can't deny the resemblance, it's uncanny," he stated happily.
Logan was still very confused, he didn't even know who the old man was or how he ought to take the information that he was now a very rich member of some family. "I don't know what to say, this is all strange," he had to admit.
The old man smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and told him that everything was going to be fine, he would explain everything to him. "First, we have to get you back home, you have been away for such a long time," he said.
"Who are you?" Logan asked. It was the anger that spoke next. "I'm sorry I didn't introduce him to you, young master, this is the butler of the Russel family, he's your butler, and has been with your family for such a long time," he stated.
The butler nodded, "Yes, I have been with your parents. I watched you grow up," he answered with a happy smile.
Logan sighed, he was forced to believe the two men. How could they possibly play a prank on him for so long? He had to finally believe that just maybe it wasn't a case of mistaken identity, just maybe he really had a family. "Do I really have a family? I'm not an orphan?" He asked.
The butler looked like he was shocked at such words. "Orphan? No, you are not an orphan," he replied eagerly and shook his head. "Your parents are abroad now and I am here to take you home," he replied.
"My parents, who are they? This man said something about being in the Russel family," Logan said. He was still very confused.
"Yes, you are the heir of the Russel family and I'm so glad that he found you. Your family is the richest and most influential family in the city, you are now part of it," he stated, smiling.
Logan's eyes began to brim with tears. How could it be that his family was the richest family in the city and he had just faced the most humiliating moment of his life with his ex-girlfriend and her new man? "Is this real?" He asked, his eyes watery.
The butler nodded excitedly and assured him that it was real. "You are the heir of the Russel family, it's a long story but I'll tell you all about...." He said and then trailed off as he saw the mark on Logan's cheek.
He grabbed his chin softly and turned his face to the left and then to the right. "What is this mark? Why does it look fresh?" He asked angrily.
"He was hit," the manager replied shakily. He was afraid of what the butler would do to him for witnessing the young master being beaten and doing nothing about it.
"Hit?!" The butler snapped angrily, he glared at the manager as he looked at the bruises. He also noticed that Logan was clutching his left side and his hair was a mess where he had been lying on the floor to take the blows.
"I'm so sorry," the manager said and fell on his knees to the floor. "I apologize, I had no idea who he was. It was after the incident that I saw the ring and was able to recognize him as the young master," he tried to explain.
The butler scolded him on the floor, "Have you seen what they did to him? Who is responsible for this?" He thundered.
"It was the son of the Richmond family, he didn't know who the young master was, I think they had an argument and it ended this way," the manager tried to explain.
"It's okay, that's all..." Logan tried to explain but the butler shook his head, saying that he wouldn't take such treatments.
"You are the heir of the Russel family, any harm done to you is a direct slap on the family, I will not and cannot allow it to be unrevenged!" He snapped.
Logan was shocked and slightly amused at the intensity of the man's words. "Revenge?" He asked. He didn't know how he could ever get even with the rich man. Rita was with a very wealthy man. He was from a Tier-1 family in the city. He was very filthy rich and also well-connected. He has also promised to make Logan's life miserable if he ever showed his face anywhere close to him. He didn't want trouble.
"Yes, revenge, I will also make sure he pays for daring to lay a hand on you, I will teach him a lesson that he won't forget!" The butler replied stiffly.
"That won't be an easy task, I know that he is from a very rich family and you can't just destroy him," he replied, mumbling.
The butler smirked at Logan. "That means you have no idea how powerful your family is," he stated.
Logan looked at him in surprise, was he trying to say that his family could take out the rich man? Was the Russel family richer?
"Yes, the Richmond family is like an ant here your family is being mentioned. I will smoke him out and deal with him mercilessly. He can't ever try to hit you again," the butler assured him.
Logan really wanted to argue but he noticed that the man was so self-assured and he refused to speak anymore. Hews is so shocked at the revelation that his family was higher than that of the rich man who had just bullied him.
"But the most important thing right now, young master, is to make sure that you get to the hospital," he said.
Logan scratched his head, "I don't have enough money to settle hospital bills, I'm sure I'll be fine," he replied.
The butler smiled, "Please follow me, let's go to the hospital, money isn't a problem, you never have to worry about money ever again," he said respectfully and led him into the helicopter.
Slowly, Logan got into the helicopter, he was very nervous and also excited to be in there. He hadn't flown in a chopper before, it was his first time. The butler had him strapped in and handed him a headphone for the loud rumbling of the engine, then he settled down beside him and told him that they were heading to the hospital. "We have to make sure you're in perfect shape, going master," the butler said at the top of his lungs so that Logan could hear him over the loud rumbling of the chopper. Logan didn't want to be a crybaby. He guessed he would be able to take the pain and tough it up, after all, he'd gone through worse. But the old man refused, saying that he needed professional medical care. Soon, they arrived at the hospital. Logan looked down with wonder, he knew the hospital that they had arrived at and it was one of the best hospitals in the city. It was also the most expensive and no one could afford it without being freaking wealthy. Logan was shocked but he didn't s
In a matter of seconds, the video became an Internet sensation. Everyone was eager to find out who had just stepped out of the chopper and if he was truly the heir of the Russel family. While some bloggers said that he was the heir, others asked if he was really back and what led to his sudden reappearance. The video became quite popular within half an hour because for over a decade, the Russel family had not appointed an heir despite the pressure for them to do so. Everyone wanted to see who would be named the heir to the richest family in the city. They all wanted to find out who the man in the video was. His face was not clear and this only made it even more suspenseful. Meanwhile, in the living room of the son of the Richmond family, Moise Richmond, Rita's new lover was lounging on his sofa, his eyes fixed on the television screen as he munched on a slice of apple. Right beside him was Rita and she seemed very pleased with the news on the television screen. "Could this really
Looking back at the sequence of events that had led up to this moment, Logan was left in absolute awe at the entire situation—In his mind, all of these still seemed like a dream sort of. First, he took in view of the entire building that was nothing like what he had thought it was. For one, It was far-off too elegant, and captivating enough that he felt breathless pondering all about it. “I’d go get the bags." It took Butler speaking to get him back to himself, as it was at that moment he was left dazed.In a way, he found himself reminiscing on the past, as for the next few seconds that followed he sensed the need to ruminate on the entire situation—There’s time to relive the memories of them and enjoy the thrill it left in his soul as he shuts down the dark thoughts of anxiety and doubts as he makes steps- stopping just short of the glass wall that overlooks the city. “What am I doing here?” he whispers to himself. He stares at the surrounding building that stands out broad an
Logan took a deep breath and then looked around the office again, was all of this going to be his? he just couldn't believe his ears and eyes. He would have jumped up for joy if he was alone in the office but he had company so he wanted to behave himself. Still, that didn't stop the feeling of excitement coming from within. "Logan" The butler called to get his attention and he turned to him, the look of excitement varnished and was replaced with seriousness. "I promise that I will take revenge on the Richmonds" Logan assured him and the butler smiled. "I will take your word then but before we make plans on revenge, we need to get you a new place to live," The butler said "A new place? I have a home" Logan was confused "You don't expect to still stay in the old house when you just found out who you are, you need power and so you need a house that would speak power," He said "And how?" "You ask too many questions, Logan, I have it all covered. Here is the key to your new home" Lo
The phone buzzed and at first, the Butler eyed the number not feeling that bit of urge, calling it a feeling of uncertainty or perhaps seeing it was a strange number he hesitated two more times and only picked on the third ring. “Hello?" His voice had that bit of edge to it, gentle yet carrying the heavy weight of anxiety.“It is the driver." A trembling voice came from the other end." The driver?” He was a bit puzzled. " What is wrong… You sound a bit tense." He muttered.There was a bit of silence from the other end almost as if he was hesitating to speak.”" It is the young boss, he is … He is lost." He stammers.“Lost?" It was hard for him to process as he couldn't bring himself to believe the manner of scandal the matter could create, at the same time he was weighing the matter deep at the back of his mind, how was that possible?What could have gone wrong?The eerily silence persisted for over thirty-one seconds and was filled with nothing but his silent heartbeats.Each thud
Taking a calming breath, Logan tried to figure out everything that was happening, at that moment it seemed to him confusing.He stared blankly at the young woman again with members of his memories rekindling every ticking seconds.Yes, he did know the woman— but as he’d just witnessed, he was not in control of the situation at the moment and silence at that moment most definitely was golden judging by everything that was happening.One must say that he was strong, dominant, and whatever made a man but at this moment he didn't have most of the thinking in his mind as he was being calculative about everything.When he finally spoke his voice was subtle, calm like a silenced wind. “I didn't do anything, Yes I must have been with her but I can't remember details about it cause… Cause I was drunk.” He hadn’t raised his voice at all, but his message had been as clear — he wasn't going to take the blame for something he did when drunk!No one would!“That is not my fucking question, answer
Some facts are just too hard to consider and that was exactly the State of Logan at that minute when the reality of everything was dawning deep in him as it was he kept his face void of any expression as what he felt just definitely at that moment was a shock— It was just too hard to take in, as whatever this is was slowly becoming a torn part from his reality.“Wait what?" The word left his lips shredding the temporary cocoon of silence that had once enveloped him.“How is that possible, I barely know you… I '' At that moment more words fell out of his lips as he was totally confused about what to say to do at that moment.He could argue with himself countlessly but it was the factual truth, all of this wouldn't be happening if he hadn't just gotten himself too drunk.Well, that was in the past as it was, he had to fix whatever this was … Only if they would just grant him one phone call!“I don't know what all this is about, but I can't …" It was the only words he could utter befor
Logan had viewed life from a whole different perspective, and as it was it felt like no one wanted to see through its lenses, he was still trying to understand something and that was what she was doing that moment.With adrenaline racing in his heart, Logan still with his decision uncertain- thought about the situation at hand, it seemed more like he was out of choices judging by the circumstances of things around him — He stopped thinking for a minute, this time he allowed himself to be drawn into the moment. “I can't do this." He stated firmly.As he did, he stood up and pushed the chair behind looking furious -“This is madness, I can't let you all impose this on me.” He spoke glamorously. Looking around he could feel the heavy gazes on him, but still, he was filled with so much rage than he could get rid of. As he stood right there in the Middle of the room, the moment seemed to him as though moving in a somewhat slow motion, as he could feel himself reliving the situation ove
