Logan was very confused. He looked at the manager oddly. He didn't know what he was talking about. His name was Logan Russel and he wondered how the man knew that.
"How did you know my name?" He asked the manager who was still too stunned to speak. He just looked at him oddly and then shook his head, as if still in shock.
"I know that a ring can only belong to one person, and you have possession of it," he replied. Logan sighed, he had already run into enough trouble by talking to the rich man and Rita, and the last thing he wanted was another round of trouble.
"You really are the young master," the manager said, his eyes wide with both surprise and excitement.
"I'm not the young master, don't worry, I'll get out of your hotel, I'm sorry for causing a scene," Logan said and was about to walk out but the man stopped him.
"You don't have to leave. Please don't leave, I know who you are. You're Logan Russel." The manager stated. Logan shook his head, "I think you have mistaken me for someone else," he replied, "My name is Logan Russel but I'm not a young master, I don't know what you're talking about."
"I know, the ring says it all," he said and looked at the ring again, "Where did you get this?" He asked.
"It's just some ring that the director at the orphanage gave to me, I decided to give it to Rita as a symbol of our love but clearly she doesn't value it," he stated plainly.
"The orphanage?" The manager asked curiously.
Logan nodded, "Yes, I told you I'm not the young master or whatever you think I am, I'm just an orphan. I grew up at the orphanage and the director gave this ring to me a few years after," he narrated.
The manager nodded and looked at him with fascination, asking him how he got to find the ring if he had been abandoned.
"The director gave it to me. He said that he'd found me in front of the orphanage and the ring was right there with me, also there was a paper with the name Logan Russel on it, that's all," Logan explained. "I don't have a family so I clearly am not this Logan that you're looking for, sorry."
The manager was tearing up even as he spoke. He held Logan's hands and looked at him intently. "You are the young master of the Russel family, I am very sure of that," he said softly. It was as if the more Logan spoke, the less the man understood. He was still looking at him with wonder and joy.
Logan was so confused, he couldn't understand how he was on the floor one minute and the next he was being called the master of some unknown family. "How do you know this?" He asked the man, still in disbelief.
"Because we have been looking for you for the last 20 years. The Russel family has been looking for you," he said and gave him a watery smile.
Logan was too confused to even argue with the man who seemed pleased to meet him for some reason. He looked genuinely happy and immediately pulled out his phone.
Staring with confusion, he watched the man dial a number and soon, an old and crisp voice came on the phone. "Why are you calling? I have important things to attend to," the voice said sharply.
The manager quickly apologized and said that he had great news that the old man would be interested in. "I know you want to hear this," he stated.
"Go on, what is this about?" The voice asked. The manager looked at Logan again, he was beaming as he said. "I have found the young master."
There was silence on the line for a few seconds and the manager had to look at the screen to make sure that the man hadn't hung up. "Can you hear me?" He asked loudly.
"I heard you, I just came to believe it," he said with a trembling voice. The manager was very pleased to repeat himself. "I'm sure, he really is the young master, his name is Logan Russel," he said excitedly.
The voice became high-pitched and excited, "Could this really be true?" He asked no one in particular and then said that he would come and make sure of it himself. "I'll be there in the next 5 minutes, I have to see him myself," he said.
"Of course, he is right here, come to the Hotel," the manager replied eagerly.
"Can you tell me she's going on?" Logan asked the man as he dropped the phone. The manager smiled and said the same thing that he'd said over the phone, leaving Logan even more confused. " You are the missing son of the Russel family, the only heir."
"I don't get it. How come I don't even know who that is? I've never heard such a name. I only know that it's my surname, I don't know if it belongs to a family or what family that is," Logan replied.
But the manager nodded. "Yes, I understand if you've never heard of them. They are only known by the upper class. The Russel family is very respected and they also control a good number of companies and industries in the country," he explained.
Logan was very curious, he wanted to ask more questions about this mysterious family and how the man had come to the conclusion that he was their son and also the heir. But he didn't get to speak when suddenly a loud sound came from behind and interrupted their conversation.
Logan was very shocked as he looked outside and saw a helicopter coming down from the distance. He watched as an old man stopped down from the chopper and walked into the building.
As the old man's eyes fell on Logan, his eyes widened and he teared up, walking to Logan briskly. "You look just like the old master..."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 watc
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
