It’s time to go home.''"What do you mean we're going home, Logan? Are you seriously considering challenging Eliza?" Amelia's voice rose as she confronted her son, the strain evident in her cough.Logan met his mother's gaze. "No, Mom. I would never get to challenge her. May her soul rest in peace for now.""Rest in peace? What happened to her? Please don't tell me she's..." Before Amelia could finish, Logan interjected, "Yes, she's gone. The kidnappers ended her life while I thought she could help negotiate your release.""Good heavens, Logan. Do you really think Diane is in any state to see you right now?" Amelia's concern was palpable."That's up to her, Mom. All I know is that we're heading home, now," Logan declared, making a swift turn."I don't know where you're finding this courage, but Diane will undoubtedly unleash the g

Chapter 043- El Piero returns“Take this, the pin to open the suitcase is 0052 and all the total proprietorship documents are inside, you can check them out while I show Mother Amelia to her room,” Diane said as she handed Logan the suitcase and went outside.The SUV raced towards the Reed estate, the tension palpable inside the car.Finally, the driver, clad in a black suit, broke the silence. "Master Piero, how was your stay in Afghanistan, sir?" he inquired, but the man in the green turban just stared at him with contempt, refusing to respond.The driver, named Soler, stole a glance at the mirror, expecting the man to be asleep, but he was surprised to find him wide awake."Soler, how many times do I have to tell you to drop the 'master' from my name? I am an Arab now. You should refer to me as El Piero Reed," the man declared.Soler nodded in compliance, grinning a little."I'm sorry for the loss of your brother's wife, El Piero," Soler offered."Oh, that? She did herself a favor

Chapter 045- Anniversary O'Clock"Exactly!" Diane exclaimed. "Can you go there for me? For my sake? Please don't say no.''Logan stood in silence for a moment before finally breaking it. “Is that all?”Diane’s eyes widened, and she quickly replied, “Yes! Big bro, does this mean you’ll go for me? Tempête will be right by your side for the whole event!”With a nod, Logan said, “Yeah, I’ll do it, but you owe me a favor while I’m away.”“A favor?” Diane echoed, her mind racing with possibilities. “Anything for you, big bro!”“Alright then. Tell Tempête I’ll be ready in an hour.” With that, Logan turned and strode back into the mansion.************* One hour later.Logan emerged dressed in a striking purple suit, the warm sun filtering through the trees, leaving dancing shadows on the driveway.As he made his way outside, he froze at the sight: a convoy of sleek black SUVs lined up like guardians, the name R-E-E-D boldly emblazoned on their license plates, ready to take him to the anniver

Chapter 047- Fabio's HumiliationLogan said, hands intertwined, relishing the attention of the surrounding guests, a mischievous grin on his face.''Felix,'’ Fabio sneered, his voice dripping with disdain, ''you’re really backing this wannabe rich pauper, huh? Just wait until the Heiress arrives; she’ll make sure you don’t have a place in the family’s staff circle when she hears about this.''Felix stood frozen in place, caught in a whirlwind of confusion and unease, unsure whether to feel threatened or amused.''Fabio Connor,'’ a voice boomed, cutting through the tension like a knife. Logan stood tall, his presence instantly commanding the attention of everyone in the room.A chill skittered down the spines of the guests, who held their breath in anticipation.''Unless you’re enjoying this lovely counting session of yours, I have a more constructive way for you to spend your time.'' His gaze shifted to the event planning agents flanking Felix.''Do you two have any other tasks you sh

Chapter 049- Murderous PlansZora’s lips curved into an enigmatic smile, a glint of determination in her eyes. ''Closure, Mother. Sometimes, to move forward, we must first say goodbye to the dead before we embrace the living.'’Madame Ruthie scrutinized her daughter, the unsettling tranquility in Zora's demeanor sending a shiver down her spine. It was so out of character for her, especially after the tempest of emotions she had just exhibited."What do you mean by ‘closure,’ Zora?" Madame Ruthie's voice trembled with skepticism.Zora turned her gaze to the rain-drenched window, her fingertips drumming anxiously on the glass.
