He stood there after dropping the call with Andre...It felt like he just made a mistake picking up the call but at that moment, he was worried about something different —If anything was confusing to him, it was how he chose to let all of this get to him, he had walked away from the room still feeling rather unsettled about the situation, Logan as it was paces at paces around.So far he was feeling rather unsettled by the fact that he was still Unaware of her plights —With each passing moment, he could swear that she was at risk, still if there was anything that made him rather sick to the guts, it was the fact that she was pregnant.Since Jeff told him that bit of information, he had been thrown back by everything, could that child be his or he was just getting himself worked over something he didn't need at that moment?All throughout this whole while, he still didn't know how to deal with everything, perhaps he should be silent and let things work out on their own.“Are you certa
Tossing and turning on the bed he wakes Suddenly, with a gasp he looks around where he was with a lot of questions running through his mind.It was another night of him having this mare or the past, in his soul it was dark and desolate as he had zero idea of what to do with all of this drama.He gathered what was left of this shattered self he called his soul and got out of bed.He roams the room free with one or several thoughts at the back of his mind, ranging from what he wanted to do that right moment to how he was dealing with all the drama that this came with. Looking back at the sequence of events that had led up to that present situation Logan was left in absolute awe at the entire situation—There was something about the fact that he was the only one that felt strange. In his mind, all of these still seemed like a dream sort of. First, he took in the view of the entire building, it was his first night there, and his soul was still trapped in my nightmares. He was strolling
“Ma’am!” She felt a hand at the side and jolted up suddenly.It was time, it was to be this day and if asked what the heck all of this was going to have in the entire issue the answer was she had no idea.Still, She couldn't get her mind off everything the woman with her had been saying, as they both got ready from Josie Amberboth thought the same thing and that was for her to take things more lightly than she was, but how could she? “Do you still think that he is the same ?" It was the third time Amber had asked that question. And this time her eyes filled with uncertainty as she didn't know the perfect way to deal with the question or the fact her heart was thudding heavily at that moment, if she says yes it meant she was admitting to all of this madness, it created a wave of unscathed feeling at the back of her mind that could feel right I her soul.All manner of thoughts were running through her mind at the moment, and at one point, she wanted all of this to end, she was starti
Back at Logan's apartment… Four hours before… It was a hot far from perfect afternoon, but the steady breeze made it way in perfectly The lights didn't find a way to wound around the frame of the room like it would have normally done . He had changed his mind about going to see her as now he sat right there on one of the benches at the lounge. Logan relaxes on the Soft chairs however he was far from being comfortable—He stared intensely at the sky that was getting darker. It was another day to get down with the business of getting rid of Andre goons.In the dark room the man they picked up was seen facing Logan, the man looked unsettled almost as though he was this fear he could be shot at any moment, so far he had said all that was needed to know. He stopped staring at the man and looked at the man with hands folded abreast. "Get him a drink." He requested. So far the man had cooperated telling him all that was planned at Andre end. A soft wind blew Into the room as the other
PRESENT Somewhere Miles away… Under the shimmering lights Logan towering figure stood right there at the window of the car, with his face glued as he watched the car zoom past tree's and a busy road.In a way , he could feel that bit of anxiety in his heart ,if was obscuring the bit of light rays from the dying sunlight that evening, his phone hung loosely in his hands as he kept still, listening to the caller at the other end— He had a gloomy expression over his face filled with anxiety and animosity.“Are you certain everything is fine?" Rio questioned.He had just spoken to Josie and it was the first time since forever, he had thought differently about the entire situation.So far —There was a bit of silence from the other end when he had first called, her voice had followed suit. When the answer came it seemed satisfactory as he let out the breath he had been holding for a long while.He had given an imaginary kiss as his hands dropped to the sides again, and he let out another
Cranking his neck to a side, Logan with his hands tucked into his pants pockets made his way towards where she was, there was this look of comfort in his eyes.It had been a long time coming, a long time since he had wanted to have the feel of holding her in his arms again.What more does he want?There was nothing he wanted other than having to deal with the thought of having her in his arms again.His mind was still thinking about what the question might be at the back of his mind.“Is that mine?" He was still thinking of what her answers would be about the situation at that moment.She had looked at him still with that feeling of animosity at the back of her mind.She thought about it again, there was this part of her that held zero answers at least that moment, she didn't know how he would take the answers to his question at that moment.In a way it felt like she had no answers to all that was happening, in a way, it felt like he had no business there but because of the fact that
Immediately, he heard the gunshot, and Logan became alert. He looked around the scene to find out who had shot the gun as he pulled his gun out of his pocket. That's when he saw Jeff, lying on the floor in a pool of his own blood. He had been shot. His jaws dropped.Looking at the scene before him, Logan felt like he had been kicked in the gut. The look of devastation on his face was haunting, a reflection of the anguish that gripped his heart. He felt his heart being ripped out of his chest. Josie's screams brought him out of this frozen state. He took his eyes off Jeff's pale face and tried to look for the shooter. Just then the sound of a power bike caught his attention and Logan's instincts kicked in. He realized that he was the shooter. He raised his gun and shot the biker but he missed. Pissed that he missed the shot, Logan decided to run after the biker to catch up with him but before he could run any further, Josie yelled at him, "Logan, leave that for now. Jeff is still bre
He ran his fingers through his ruffled hair, as he did A hundred thoughts ran through his mind. As Logan paced, he slowly massaged his temple where a tension headache was beginning to build he did this to cleanse himself of the frustration he was feeling, it had been three hours yet no news. Again, he sat on the sofa and took several deep, calming breaths. He stood up quickly and made his way to her room, getting there he stopped. Logan stopped just outside Josie's door, he could still picture her reaction to the news when she got it as she had walked away as fast as she could, of all the things he could do one thing proved necessary and that was the fact that he had to speak to her.After a while of standing right there at a spot, he changes his mind and turned away —More reason he was right there outside the door, he clenched his fists in order to stop the urge he had to slam her door hard when he had walked in.Most definitely he was seeing her after a long while but with eve
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
