She picked up her phone, knowing that there was only one person she could call. Only one person could tell her the truth. Quickly she called Maria. After calling Maria she narrated or that happened for the past 2 weeks to her telling her about Amber strange behavior and what she did at the store. She wanted to know if amber wanted her to apologize or was just being manipulative as usual.Josie knew that it was only Maria that really knew Amber other people only saw his side of her or the parts she choose to show them. “ Am not going to lie to you Josie, the best thing you can do is to confront her, you know her tells. You can tell if she is lying or not , but you've got to confront her. Don't give her a chance to sweep it all under the rug. You know I told , I don't trust her. I've told you that she's dirty but refuse to believe me I know she's your friend but Amber she's dangerous and you better realize it before it's too late. Please amber please confront her before it's too late.
Driving My car out of Amber’s place. I could not help but think about what you wonderful night we had. Damn Amber once one hot chick, sex with her was one of the best I ever had. She was so responsive for more than many ladies that I knew of. Yet what I had to do must come first.I have always been a passionate and ambitious person, many will say that I was ruthless and uncaring. That was that your opinion I really don't care what others think life has showed me that to be successful I had to be passionate ruthless and focus what I wanted success had no two way to eat and women will always follow successful Men.Amber was a cunning woman, smart sexy, honest like a knife. She said what she thought and she was not afraid of my background or my history with the criminal Underworld. She was even more ambitious than I was . I was afraid at first , I didn't want to tell her that I was leading the Mafia or that my gang was one of the most notorious in the city. Or that Logan her best best f
IF there was anything that I had noticed about this woman it was how everything appeared to flow and be perfect right where she was.The moment she had walked away just one thought filled the back of my mind and it was how much that I appeared to enjoy the sight of her I knew one thing at that moment, that moment that my body floods with both relief andapprehension. I know that, I would do any shitty thing to have her all to myself —Who the hell is at the senses when she was involved.I could have expected all of this, what I hadn't expected was the fact that she was pregnant and it took only her falling to find out.I stood right there with my mind racing through the possibilities that the child could be mine.Like what were the chances?Looking at her I could tell that she was trying to keep something but what it was I couldn't get myself to believe it at that moment.“When were you planning on telling me?" I muttered.Immediately I did, all I could feel was that Sense of hope an
“So have you found anything yet? I need more information so I can going to go on with this?” Amber tapped her foot impatiently as she waited for Jake to respond.“Look, I've told you I need more time. This isn't something I can just work on in a blink of an eye!” He sounds aggravated by her questions.“How much time?” She was equally getting fed up. “I've given you a week now and nothing there's nothing new on that front.”“I'll contact you in 48 hours.” He says before rudely hanging up.Her lips dropped open in surprise before she snaps her phone closed.When it comes to Josie and being open about her past, she was closed up tighter than a nun's ass.Amber with desperately searching for a way out, one where she could find out the truth about Josie and end up using it against her.When they were together, Amber could pretend all she wanted that they were still friends but deep down, she had already jumped ship.All she needed now was enough ammunition for her to fire. Haven gotten som
What was I going to do?IT was the same thought that had filled my mind that moment, all my thoughts had filled out my leaving nothing behind that a wave of uncertainty and perhaps shock . The question kept flashing through my mind, reminding me that I couldn't just just let things be for a while, yet how could I ….At the moment I was confused about so many things that I could feel the wave of uncertainty slipping deep in my soul, with each passing minute all I felt was anxiety.Slowly but definitely, it occurred to me that I had to do something about this whole mess, as that was exactly what the whole situation was.It was hard to comprehend and I was trying all I could to get it over my mind, yet my heart was too hard to sink into every bit of these words that she had muttered to me again and again. What more could I do to comprehend all of this?As I made way to my room with time and space all racing through my back or my mind, my heart beat skittered to a stop.Was this how it w
Snapping his phone closed, Logan agonized over what to do. Going to the police was out of the question because aside from the fact that they were useless, Andre also had spies in the police department just like he did and the moment one of them got whiff of his plans, Logan had no idea the lengths that Andrew was willing to go to teach him a lesson and there's no way he will endanger Josie's life.This had to be dealt with stealthily and smartly…the only way he could do that was to enlist the help of some people he trusted.Having made up his mind, Logan exited his office and went straight to the ground floor of the house.Recently, Logan has been trying to create a team of five.Some of his most trusted and skilled advisors that would be his second in command, stable enough to hold down the fort to whenever he wasn't there.It was tough making the decision because Logan had to vet each and everyone of them, based on their experience, their skills and lastly…their loyalty to the Mafia
t re-occurred to me after leaving that I was making a serious mistake getting myself far involved in this , what were the thoughts and aspects, why was this Show more enough facts about the entire situation .The more that sank into mind , the more I could feel that feeling of anxiety creeping through my soul with every fleeting seconds.I could say that was exactly what I felt that moment even as my phone buzzed again at that moment with my heart ricocheting with each passing seconds.I stood right there in the space of time, listening to my phone buzzing again.There as I stood all, I could feel was those sound for time and space at the back of my mind that one more time, I could feel a darkly expression filled my mind as a burn traveled through my nerves.He had a look of concern right there in his face when he had looked down at where I was .“If that is not one of your callers, why not pick?"My heart sank, it felt like in a way he was daring me to yet at that moment I didn't d
“Logan, you wouldn't believe this!” Jackson exclaimed bursting into the room where Logan boys consulting with a couple of his high-end tech analysts. They've been trying to narrow down most of Andre's known associates to see if they can extract more information out of them. “I have good news, we've found her.”Logan turns away from the man he was listening to, to give Jackson a full audience. “Her? Who are you talking about?”Jackson didn't respond, tapping on his tablet before turning it over to show Logan. It was a picture of Amber. “Why are you showing me this?” Logan questioned.“We managed to hack into Amber's phone records as well as her text messages and we found out that prior to the week leading up to Josie's kidnapping…she and Andre have been in touch a lot.”Logan grabbed the tablet. “When you say ‘a lot’, how often are you talking about?”“I'm talking about twice everyday or even 3 to four times.” Jackson supplied.“That's a lot.” Logan was surprised. “I had no idea she w
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
