“Man … What did you think you were doing? “Rio sounded pissedLogan had Just told him about stepping out of the house and what he had seen and for the moment it was difficult for him to process his thoughts.Logan sighed. He had expected an entirely different expression from Rio but definitely not this.“Can't you see that you almost ruined the plans?"“Well, no one saw me so everything is still intact at least for now." Logan had spoken with quite an assurance." Fine then I'll send you the link to the other things, it will be In a message make sure that you pay attention to it.” It was all Rio said before hanging up the phone.True to his word the phone buzzes again with a notification and this time Logan took his time to glance through it. Logan's gaze softened as he read the message on his phone, so far this man Rio, had proved to be his ally and friend, though there was still that part of him that looked over his shoulder when it came to trust, it was easy to see that finding
It had been minutes since the car drove away and still he is finding it hard to get his mind off the entire situation. It was harder for Logan as several thoughts appeared to travel throughout his mind at that second including the one that was trying to convince him less that Jeff had been there for him.As his gaze lingered on the car as it disappeared round a corner right there into the darkness that stretched in the distance, he wondered to himself what could be the reason for him being there, from what he saw Jeff looked like he was hiding from someone to judging by how he walked to the car… “I need to find out more about this." He muttered to himself.His heart races at that moment, giving way to fear and anxiety that looked to want to consume him deeply.All that was left in his heart was the possibilities, and perhaps likely impossibilities that swirled in his mind, but he pushed them away. It wasn't till it was… He reminds him that it was best he was stuck by Rio's rule and e
Logan couldn't get rid of one fact as he paced the room and that was whether the man recognized him or not, the man had most definitely looked at him with that bit of uncertainty that any drunk man would, but still unsure of the situation he still panics as he senses that bit of unease.“Should I just call Rio?" Calling Rio sounded like a more crazy thing for him to do when he thought about it, it was crazy, especially with the fact that he didn't know what to expect.He was dealing with the same mistake Rio had warned him of earlier, he had walked out of his room, something he shouldn't have done earlier.All of this was starting to cause a serious ache in his chest and it just wouldn't depart, the entire feeling just wouldn't go away as it kept on gathering that bit of momentum.At a point he stopped pacing and stood in front of a mirror, the look he had right there on his face was filled with disdain for what he was about to do.“I created this mess, I have to fix it " he muttered
Over his graveyard she stood with her gaze hovering around the dark scenes that were playing over her mind, if there were any pictures that played at the back of her mind it was how brutally she thought he was murdered.A tear ran down her eyes, it had been months, and still, nothing had been done, still, it was the first time she was making her way here through all that had happened, it left her heart sinking through the moment that appeared to be rather helpless, with every bit of animosity that filled heart was also that burning bit of emptiness.She held hands with Amber who could feel that same dark energy as well looming over them and unwilling to depart.As it sank to her heart depth after depth it left that strange feeling behind.“Something doesn't feel Right.” She muttered into the cold wind.It wasn't the first time she had said these words, but it was the first that she could feel sinking into her heart.After she had spoken she turned to the woman beside her as well, it w
Rio had every right to be angry and he knew it, Logan had just gotten off the phone with him and at that moment he knew that he messed up. All of this was rather frustrating for both of the men as they conversed over the phone for what felt like minutes.“Well, we will be meeting later this week… I am sure all of that is going to be taken Care of.” Rio sounded certain about the entire situation.Logan was rather distressed about the entire situation when he dropped his phone, one thought ran through his mind and it was the question that kept reflecting through it, a question that demanded answers at that moment.All that he wanted to do was just hide away till they all arrived and with the way it was, it was almost certain that only then would he be able to find a way through the situation that moment, as all the likely questions ran through his heart that moment he grabbed a cup and drank from the liquor right there on his bed rest.He clenched his hands furious about everything, he
In the cold distance not too far away the air was so crispy as it blew through the streets, she was right there finding her path back home, it was the second time she was walking down to the graveyard, and the second time she was feeling that way as well.As the thought ran through her mind, it rolled through the deepest part leaving bits of anxiety behind, she could feel her soul rekindling all effort to get the thought out of her mind was much more difficult to deal with. Josie tried calling Amber several times but it was all proving abortive, thinking about how she was going to sneak back in, she wondered how furious Andre would be if he found out where she had been.That was definitely what was running through their mind; the last thing she wanted was to get him angry enough to create a scene.She had dragged the whole issue in her mind all through the while when finally she stopped in front of the towering gates that led to the massive estates, she had stood right there wonderin
How long could he keep all of his secrets, he felt like the world needed him to keep all of this in that dark part of his soul and reality he couldn't. Rio had walked away leaving him there still dazed he didn't know what to do at that moment he couldn't tell if it was necessary for him to go through all that was happening.He turned away and stalled at the doorway. He was confused about the entire situation and sat right there on the steps of the hotel room, as his mind ran through the situation he thought about what his Life used to be.A feeling of anger, forged a pact with his surge of Adrenaline as relentlessly he pushed open the door stepping in—*****He stopped right there in the room, he could have sworn that all of this could just be his thoughts as he stood by the window. He didn't know what to do again at that point to wait as they had said or to go back to them. He was not there in his room for a moment, leaning against the door and staring atthe wall.He could feel he
In the dark cold corridor, he stood right there still confused about what to do about the thought that was running through his chest, his heart playing heavily. He was right here caught between the truth that was ringing through his heart and his delusion, both creating a wave that swept around him insolently.He had managed to get himself into the situation that was starting to burn through the back of his mind that moment, as Logan looked startled.He managed to take two steps away from where he was standing as he obviously thought about changing his mind at that moment, the thought rang out at the back of his soul leaving him with uncertainty.As it was, he was starting to feel rather ridiculous that he was still startled about wanting to knock on the door-Instead of knocking just as he had proposed, he turned away instead telling himself there was always another time. Rolling his eyes, he shut the door behind him and he sat right down with a thud on the bed immediately he had wa
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
