“Who does this belong to?" He asked the man who still looked at him fearfully, he was still confused about it but had his gaze on him as they tried to understand the entire situation, mostly Logan anyway.It was confusing as he thought about it, at that moment the entire situation was made more difficult by the fact that all of the situations seemed confusingHe left his questions unanswered, while still trying to find answers to the most thriving questions at that moment.As it sank to the deepest part of his mind, he had looked upon Logan with that same fear, from earlier.“Are you saying that you are not aware of what this mark is all about?" He asked.Logan pondered through the question that left that feeling of uncertainty at the back of his mind, he was left rather unsettled as he paced through the room before turning again to the man who was still there by now adjusting himself. The question rang again through his mind. He stood before the man, still seeking to find a way thr
Miles Away in the confinement of the city, Andre had been doing what he had for the past three weeks and that was getting rid of everyone that had stood with Logan, the good thing to him was the fact that Logan was dead, and above all of this he was getting what he wanted and that was getting rid of all his allies.As he walked into the room, he stormed to where the man was after he had pushed open the door.The room was quiet but from frequent distressing sounds that were made by the other occupant of the room other than himself, he had looked straight at the man.He walked briskly to where he was and pulling the black bag over the man’s head, a hem of the cloth bag catching in the man’s ear tried to hinder his actions-Andre furiously yanked it off, making the man yelp in pain. He grunts and lifts the bag again forcefully, ignoring the man’s cry in protest as the piece drags on filling his shirt with blood.The man wails louder which only serves to annoy him even more he drags the
Ruffled between sheets the man Rio woke up to the sound of someone beside him, it took a while for him to process his thoughts and get over the wobbliness that he was feeling —Soon as he felt a Shadow looming over his bed he gently dropped his hands to the side hoping that he gets his gun.“Looking for this?" Logan's voice filled that early morning, the man gritted something through his teeth and made his way to her bathroom, and after a few minutes, he walked back out.“What do you want?" He asked while rubbing his hands over his face.To answer his question a woman by then had walked into the room, she still had that smirk on her face from earlier, she had a look of anxiety in her eyes that was quite expressive. "What ?" He asked making his way toward where Logan was. “I asked who let you in.” He asked again. He got up and closed the window, and then padded toward where his drawer was, he pulled it out and went through some of the things it contained as though Logan was a sort of
Cranking his neck to a side, Logan with his accomplice walked into the room, he had his hands tucked into his pants pockets as he made his way towards where the men were at that moment, he had no business there he asked himself but at the same time, there was that dying need at the back of his soul that had that need to be fulfilled.He could hear his heart echoing wildly that moment, the more he thought about the situation, the more it sank to the deepest part of his mind at that moment…Standing right there at that moment, he could feel that thudding noise coming from deep within, in a way he could sense as it was echoing.Getting there, there was no point asking any more questions after he was addressed, instead, he sat right there in the seat assigned for him.Inside the room, there were about ten men, each with a stick of a cigarette in their lips, as the smoke filled the air, the smoke from the cigarettes filled the air making the atmosphere hazy. Scrunching his nose in disgust
Logan's fate was sealed in a give-and-take situation, he was giving something and while he still had issues with his trust, this seemed like the best situation for him to get whatever he needed.At the back of the dark mind was revenge, if there was anything she wanted so much at that moment it was that dark need for revenge that seemed to burn deep in his Soul.There was a deeper need for it, he was like the devil in this instance seeking to take more souls down to hell with him if it was worth it.He ran through the list again, and stalled when he stopped at the name Charlie —Love. Life. Destiny. He could feel all it had one thing in common that sank to the depth of his Soul that moment, already he had what was wanted and that was the backing of his dynasty, a Mafia order that had his own blood.Whatever sacrifice he chose to pay wasn't what made his heart skip the moment he was saying his last goodbyes to the family that had housed him for two months and a half.“Thank you for eve
The words were still right on her lips when the door had opened, it was a conflicting moment filled with a thousand things running through my mind. In the few seconds that followed, she had turned to the door where he walked through.“Andre!" She gasped… She looked again at Amber, she had trusted her with everything including her hideout and it had all come back to haunt her she could feel that burning pain at the back of her head and it seemed to leave a mark right there in her soul that was starting to drift away, the more she stood there the more she was left confused by the entire situation that was happening.“What do you want!" She asked again.Andre makes his way into the room, he shoves Amber away and stands right In Front of Josie again looking down to the belly that had the bastard child.“Josie, nice to see you again…” he smirks.How long was it two months? She could remember it like yesterday… Still, it was the last thing she would do, she'd rather burn than get rid of t
It wasn't every day that she listened to advice especially when coming at random but at that moment, Josie shook her head admitting that she understood the situation briefly.She was giving Andre her words, she was coming with him but even that would be at a price as she couldn't picture being subjected to self-slavery once she walked out of the door, being so much aware of the entire situation, it crosses her mind that this could be a ploy by him get her back into isolation something she had been running away from, for whatever reason Amber presence gave that warmth feeling that succumbed to as they walked out to the car. “Wait." She spoke for a while just as they neared the car door, it wasn't news that her fate was about to be sealed but there was a need for her to do more at that moment, to do something rather spontaneous a way of protecting whatever this was. “So can I get an assurance that you won't get me to do what you want…It doesn’t mean Ihave to,” Josie insists.“You h
“Who is there!"The voice came again loud and clear, quite demanding as it filled the night.Logan was still right there thinking about what his next move would be, there appeared to be a lingering fear hovering around that to which he appeared to cling on. Logan's eyes never left that dark shadowy figure looming over where he was, he cussed himself for the mistake he made, the fact that he hadn't looked at his path properly while disappearing into the shadows and had landed on a brittle twig snapping it to two, still all that filled the night sky was silence, first was the fact that it seemed to wear upon his heart forever, till the moment that had stood there still as the sound seemed to echo through the night air or the fact that his heart appeared to be sinking. Confused of his bones he had stood stiffly at that one spot, he was so much confused that he held his breath, praying that the noise hadn't carried far into the night enough to tell the guard, a new one by the way of wh
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
