As she was done talking with him she walked away thinking about the question, much as she didn't want to get away from all of the situation that was happening.She had left immediately, her heart wavering through the entire situation.She had that bit of anxiety that filled her eyes as they drove back home, the only good news was that Jeff was going to live.When she arrived home it was all empty and void of Andre, she had walked away Immediately to her room and cried herself to sleep.She had left his questions unanswered. He had asked if she was going to get back with him and the answer she gave was absurd.She had fallen asleep after a while, it felt like long minutes but soon she was awoken by a sharp pain in her head, she touched her head as Wincing in pain, she looked around and saw two guards by the door.She was back home, he could tell almost immediately as she grimaced while he tried to stand up from the bed still feeling pain.She felt weak, but she managed to stand with h
Logan was still seeking a way to deal with all of this, the fact that he had found her unconscious created a reason for him to fear.Where was Amber in all of this, he was busy pacing around while trying to find an answer to the most thriving questions at that moment.He knew beyond a fact that Andre would have found the guard tied down in his basement, it was the only way that he had been able to get into the apartment. There was still no sign of Amber so far, at that moment he was still trying to fix all of what was happening —At that moment, he was trying to clean up after asking the maid to make her dinner.As he was pacing through the room, she made quick work of cleaning the place, while cleaning she had found Josie awake.She looked around the room as she could still feel that sharp pain at the back of her head.It created a wave of uncertainty that filled her up from deep within, when she saw that she was safe in Logan's apartment, she sighed.“Good to see that you are awake
He couldn't get it out of his mind no matter how much he tried to. It was Rather becoming more complicated. Logan was out when she arrived, she looked around at the apartment immediately, she had walked in a little disappointed not to see him.The advice Amber gave to her was simple, and she was in fact doing exactly what was asked, she was letting him know that he had in fact had the right to know about the child. She texts Logan to let him know she’s arrived at the apartment, it was rather stormy and with the bad network, the message takes quite a while to deliver due to the poor reception at that moment. She soon felt like taking a short nap and walked into the room, to her Rio was being exceedingly nice and she thought that it could as well be the fact that she had lost her child. It was all happening too fast, too fast for me to comprehend. She walked into his room and could see it was filled with bottles.She takes her time to tidy it all up, before she sleeps, she opens her
Was this reality or a damn dream he listened to everything yet again, anxiety was racing through his mind at that moment.Still thinking about all of this, it created a wave of uncertainty that filled at that moment… While still running all the matter through the back of her mind.She had backed away that moment still seeking that way to understand, Logan had looked at her still with the feeling creeping up his soul. He looked away at the man that had spoken. “Are you sure of what you just said?” He had asked." Most definitely.”While still running the matter through the back of his mind, he had gotten a message from the order inviting him to a meeting, he had walked away briskly.As he made his way out, he could feel his heart echo loudly, a low rumble builds in his chest as he narrows his eyes at the man that was driving. It had been three hours of driving in sheer silence, for some reason again he smirked hard, “You don't like this much right?" Logan had askedHe couldn't get h
The brute fact about all of this was that he had definite answers but still found it confusing to comprehend at that moment, that second that moon sets but doesn’t illuminate the most popular part of the room He counted the seconds that flew by till it was time to leave, he Walked out .Pondering what to do next about this situation, he had Walked out into the garden…The alley is quiet but not empty. So far there had been no sign of the man he seeked, he looked around again hoping that he'd see that man Rio bit still all of this was nothing.Rio was still not Within sight, he stared straight at everyone.Finally he sees Rio not too far from where he was, the man was beside a black van parked not too far off. He walked to where he was, Rio looked straight at him, the chauffeur stepped closer and whispered something to him and he nodded saying something back that was barely above a whisper.“That took too long!" He whispered.“What too long.” Logan questions, his impatience getting i

was the last turning point, if this was how things was going to be , he told himself that he had to fix all of this once and for all,he waited for her to dash out but it it felt like madness to him as she stood right there in the middle of the room wondering why the damned door was broken.Where was she?It was the one question he Still didn't know how to answer at that moment, his heart races wildly as he pondered through everything again.Was he over reacting? When Amber walked in he gave a displeasing gaze and looked away. If she had not left her alone, all of this wouldnr have happened, it all left a feeling of concern in his heart that appeared to ring through the entire room .“Where is she?”He had asked again.This time, all he could feel was silence… He stared into her eyes and all he could see in the rather absurd eyes was fear and anxiety.Slowly he could feel his heart burn, as it did he pondered on everything again, he wondered why that was happening-His heart was rat
At Andre's apartment, he sees everything… as he drives in.It had been three hours since the entire situation had gone weird,he had expected reports but till that moment nothing.He was expecting that there was hesitation from her end to come back home but after all of this, he was starting to feel like all this was going beyond his control.The moment he stood there outside his car and his gaze had got wind of the woman , he had Kept his gaze right there where she was.His mind raced to how long he had been in all of this situation, was it twenty hours or so — Today so far had been different from other days, this time he wasn't in the security room, tampering with footage nor glancing at the camera feed in the parking lot.He was all by himself staring at the last person he expected to see, he was merely distances apart where he watches the whole event as gradually, a look of shock came up his face. At first he wanted to walk towards her quickly but thought of something entirely dif
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
