Logan tried to run as the guards formed a circle around him. "You shouldn't have done that, you'll get the beating of your life!" The rich man sneered and nodded at the guards. 

Without a second wasted, they descended on Logan aggressively, dragging him by the head and pushing him to the floor. Fists fell on his head and shoulders and all he tried to do was protect his face. 

"You dared lay a hand on our boss?" One of the men snapped at him angrily and kicked him in the face.  

Rita stood there, not the slightest terrified or concerned over what was happening, she even had a pleased look on her face as did the man beside her. "He's getting what he deserves! Loser!" She said, urging the men to teach him a lesson. 

"What's going on?" One of the staff came to the lobby and saw the scene. Logan was already bloodied and bruised on the floor. He couldn't move, his hands shielded his face as the men continued to hit him, blow after blow, kick after kick. "You're going to kill him!" The staff said, her eyes wide with terror as he saw Logan's body. 

But the men didn't stop, their boss didn't tell them to and so they continued to beat Logan without caring about his bruises. The staff hurried away to call the manager, she didn't want anyone to be hospitalized in their hotel. 

The manager soon arrived and he bellowed angrily from the hallway as he strode to the scene. "Stop at once!" He snapped, frowning heavily. 

The guards all stopped as the rich man nodded at them. "Who are these men and why are they making a scene here?" He asked the rich man who was clearly the one in charge. 

"He needs to be taught a lesson! He's a stalker and a useless man," Rita replied and hissed. 

The manager sneered at her and the rich man. "I don't care who he is or what he did. You're causing trouble here, don't you know this is the Russel family hotel?" He asked angrily.

Mentioning the Russel family, the man was terrified, he stepped back a little and looked at the manager again. The Russel family was a very respectable family and he didn't dare mess with them. "I'm so sorry, I didn't know that," he replied.

"But he's the one who did something wrong, he stalked us," Rita announced again. 

The rich man nodded, trying to exonerate himself. "He threw the first punch. He was trying to hurt me, I only defended myself," he replied. 

The manager snapped at him harshly, he didn't want to know what happened, he just wanted them to leave at once. "I don't care what he did, you have crossed the line. Take this elsewhere or you will face consequences from the Russel family," he said. 

"Of course, we will leave now," the rich man said and nodded to the manager respectfully. But he turned to look at Logan, his face morphed into a sneer as he said, "Thank your lucky stars, I would have made sure there's no part of you left for the doctor to fix," he spat. 

Logan groaned on the floor, his hands clutching his rib which was badly injured. He couldn't even get off the floor with the men still standing right above him. Rita smirked at him in that state, very pleased. 

"Be careful, don't ever cross my path again. If I ever set my eyes on you, I will beat you up again, mark my words," the rich man said. 

Rita sneered at Logan, looking at him condescendingly. "She yanked off a ring from her finger and looked at it like it was garbage. "This is the ring that you gave me as a gift," she said and scoffed loudly, looking at the jewelry distastefully. "You lied to me that this is a family heirloom of yours, but it looks like some cheap trash you got from the pawn shop, it's a toy!" She snapped and threw it back at his face. 

Logan looked at her silently, he didn't say anything to her. First, because she couldn't even begin to convince her that he wasn't lying and also because he didn't want to run into more trouble with the rich man. 

"You can keep your trashy ring, I'm sure if I left with it, you'd say I'm a gold digger," she said with a nasty scowl on her face. 

The rich man held her hands and gave Logan one last mean stare before he nodded at his guards who finally left him and opened the door for him to walk out. 

Logan sighed as they walked out, he finally stumbled off the floor and finally staggered to his feet. His sides hurt like crazy and he couldn't feel his left cheek. He had been badly bruised there.

"Are you okay?" The manager asked, Logan nodded wordlessly and tried to right his clothes but it was no use, it was ruined beyond repair. "Are you sure? You don't look too well," he insisted and tried to help Logan but he ended up hurting him more as he touched his tender ribs. 

"Ouch," Logan groaned as his ribs were being touched, he placed his hands there and hissed, closing his eyes. He tried to ease the pain but it stuck. 

"I think you need to be taken to the hospital, you need medical help, you've been badly hurt," the manager insisted and tried to hold him again.

Logan shook his head, bending down to pick up the ring that Rita had thrown in his face. "You don't have to, I don't have the money for hospital bills," he replied. 

But at this point, the manager wasn't even listening to him, his eyes were fixated on the ring that he had just picked up. His eyes widened and he looked at Logan again. "Is that really you, young master Logan Russel?" He asked in a trembling voice.

    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

    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.

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

    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.

    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

    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
