Logan didn't know that a lot of time has passed by while he was having that conversation with Stephen. It was already past nine when he got home. He noiselessly opened Ava's door to see her sleeping peacefully in the bright room, how can she comfortably sleep with her lights on? Is she scared of darkness? Whatever it is, he is grateful he met her sleeping. 

Entering into his room, he pulled out of his wears, grabbed a towel and entered into the bathroom, took a cold bath. That's what he needs right now! 

Once he was out, he put on his night wears and climbed on the bed. He texted Alfred and Daryl the address Stephen wrote for him, asking them to meet tomorrow morning since they have a mission to complete urgently.

It will be a stressful day tomorrow! 

The next day.... 

Logan came out of his room, dressed in a suit. He met Ava in the living room and they exchanged greetings! She was already dressed for work, she look astonishing in her work attire. 

"I am not used to doing wife duties so I didn't make breakfast, do you want noodles? That's the only thing I can prepare without making any mistake" she admitted to him. Logan raised a brow at her, his wife is emphatically a Daddy's girl who gets everything done for her by maids. 

She doesn't know how to cook? 

"Don't worry about that, I will eat on my way" he replied. 

"I guess you are going out" she asked, pointlessly nodding her head. 

"Yes, I need to start job hunting" he lied, Ava believed him since they already discussed it a day before. Logan already scheduled a meeting with the members of Blue Carter, that's exactly where he is heading to from here. He will figure out a place he will pretend to work when the job at hand is done. 

"Okay, I will be going to work too" she said. 

"I will see you later then" Logan replied. 

"Come to the company later. I want you to get something for me and again, I lost the paper you wrote your account number the other day, send it again. I will wire the money to you" Ava mentioned. 

"Okay" both husband and wife went their separate ways right after that. Logan had to wait a few walks away from the house for Daryl to come pick him up. His thought occupied with how commanding Ava sounded a while ago, she's not planning on turning him into her puppet is she? 

A few minutes later, Daryl halted his car in front of him. 

"Is the wealthiest billionaire that commands power wherever he enters stranded because of a woman?" Daryl mocked playfully. 

"Shut up" Logan said, entering into the car while Daryl laughed. 

"Get me an average car tomorrow, it shouldn't be too expensive. You can get me a fairly used if possible" he instructed 

"Noted, but why are you doing this? You don't want her to find out your identity? Do you like her?" Daryl questioned. 

"I don't know why I am doing this, I know I don't like her either" Logan confessed. He never really thought about the reason why he accepted to marry Ava. 

"When are you introducing me to her?" Daryl queried while Logan rolled his eyes at his dramatic brother. 

"How can I introduce you when she thinks that I don't have any family?" he asked. 

"What of your friend, I can be introduced as your friend till you are ready to tell her the truth. I just want to meet her" Daryl whined like a little boy who got his candy snatched away from him, no one will think he is the second in command to the mafia king with his kind of attitude. 

"Fine, fine, I will introduce you to her. Will you drive peacefully and let me rest now?" Logan asked 

"Yes Blue, please have a nice rest" Daryl replied playfully instigating Logan to shook his head at him. They talked about random things till they got to the main mansion were the gang members reside. 

"Welcome Blue, good morning" Alfred came out to greet the brothers. Daryl smiled and Logan on the other hand waved his hand instead of replying to the greeting. 

"Is everyone gathered inside?" he asked. 

"Yes Blue, everyone is waiting for you" 

"Okay, tell the cook to prepare something for me. I haven't had my breakfast" Logan instructed, his dear wife doesn't know how to cook, he is not a fan of noodles either. So will he be the one doing the cooking? Hiring a cook will be very obvious that he has money. 

"I will do that right away" when they got inside, they were greeted by the rest of the members. Among his group, Logan is liked and at the same time feared by people who are familiar with him. He has so much power and the most dangerous connections any one can ever think of. He doesn't forgive so easily, likewise, he can make anyone and their entire family disappear from the face of earth. He can ruin just anybody within a blink of an eye if he wants to. 

But fortunately, Logan only go after those who gets on his nerves, those trafficking women and engaging in child abuse and introducing them into vice crime. He hates those who makes life unbearable for people and also him. That's how dangerous Logan Weston is! 

"I am not going to waste time on this operation, Stephen sent the time I am to come over to where he is hiding the girls. We will just do as we have planned before, there shouldn't be any mistake. Remember, our priority is to ensure the safety of everyone under the captive of Stephen. Do we get it?" Logan announced. 

"Yes Blue" they replied in chorus. 

"Any news on the rat messing around with my database?" he questioned. Just like that, everywhere became dead silent. It's taking them so much time to get just one guy, just how good is this person with computer?

"We are still on—" 

"Send every information you have collected about him and also the login details of the email he reply us with whenever he likes, I will deal with this myself" Logan cuts in when Alfred was about responding. 

Logan used to be a very skilled hacker and good at everything that has to do with computer. At that time, he could find just anyone even if they hide themselves in Mars. He was so good that big companies sort after him but all of a sudden, he stopped touching anything related to computer, aside his phone. This is attributable to the incident that occurred five years ago! 

"Will you be okay?" Daryl phrased, the rest of them nodded their heads in agreement to his enquiry. Logan was nearly replying when his phone beeped, taking his attention from the members. 

He brought out his phone to see that was an unknown number. The first thing he heard when he picked up was a loud scream. Like a new york minute, Logan shifted the phone from his ear, checked the caller again before placing it back. 

"Hello" he said skeptically. 

"Why the hell did you take time to pick my call? Are you being disrespectful to your father-in-law on top of you being such a disgrace to the Hilton family because of your poor background?" On hearing that, Logan picked up immediately that Ava's father is on the phone with him. How did he get his number and why is he calling him?

A frown formed on his face as he gritted his teeth together. That was a welcome greeting from his supposed father in-law. Is he going to hurl more insults at him? What makes this family so bold? Their wealth? The one Logan can destroy? Even their lives are in his hand.

  • New Beginning

    One month later...It has been a month since the demise of Grandpa Hilton. He left a note blaming himself for everything that happened and asked Charles Hilton and Ava for forgiveness including Logan. In his letter, he stated that he wouldn't be happy if he lived knowing that he wouldn't have a good relationship with his son again and their family name was already in the mud because of him.His death was a surprise to Logan but it didn't hurt him as much as his family. Maybe it was his way of paying for his sin, Logan didn't have to kill him, he died on his own."You are going to see sister-in-law today?" Daryl asked as Logan sat down at the dining table with them. Logan nodded his head. After Valentina and her father left, Logan has been managing his companies as the CEO. He goes to work like every other boss and does his responsibilities at the office. Valentina became a good friend of his before they left although she didn't stop being flirtatious with him. They talk on the phone

  • Unexpected death

    Logan was in the bathroom for close to an hour, he just stood under the shower and allowed the cold water to pour on his body. He turned off the tap and came out dripping wet in a towel.He dried himself, changed into his pajamas and climbed the bed while checking his mail. Logan restored his old account with the name "001" and also made it public. He knew that people were still looking for his talent up till this moment and it won't take them time to start getting in touch with him again. He checked his inbox, just like he predicted, messages were waiting for him in his inbox. Two were from the company Ryan was supposed to restore their systems and websites before Logan hacked into it and uploaded those pictures and videos while three more were from different companies. He opened the first two messages from those companies, they were asking for his help promising to give him any amount he wanted as long as those things could be removed with an explanation so that their companies

  • Apologies, forgiveness and a request

    By the time Logan got home, everyone was already having dinner. "You are late Blue, have you had dinner?" Daryl asked upon seeing Logan entering into the kitchen. "Not yet, maybe later" he replied and grabbed a bottle of water to drink. "What's the difference between later and now? You might even forget to eat later, so why don't you join us now let's have dinner together. Come on" Daryl persuaded. Seeing everyone's attention on him, Logan felt defeated and sent to sit at the table with them. The maids served his food and he began eating. "How was your first day? Did the lady trouble you?" Daryl questioned. He'd be the only one who would always bombard Logan with unending questions that no one else would. "I don't even want to talk about it, I have to do it just for a year" Logan replied and everyone on the table began coughing. "A year?" Alfred blurted out the question. Realization dawned on Logan and his mouth curved into an 'O' His thoughts were being invaded even as he was

  • Take her back

    "I need to take this call" Logan raised his phone in the air. Valentina nodded and stood up from his chair to a more quiet place with his brows furrowed in surprise. Just how fast does he recover? It was just yesterday or two days back that Logan told Doctor John about the injection."To what do I owe this surprise call from you, Mr Hilton Gardener?" Logan called. He could hear the steady breath of Grandpa Hilton from the other end of the phone. His breath was steady but a little ruffled. A"Logan" Grandpa Hilton called in a faint tone, Logan barely managed to hear his name. "I am Mr Weston to you, I am no longer your grandson-in-law so stick to formalities when talking to me" Logan fired. If there is anyone he hates most in the Hilton family, that will be Grandpa Hilton. He is the most dark-hearted person among them. "Why did you call me? Do you want more of the injection? Or are you sad that you haven't seen me in days?" Logan mocked. Grandpa Hilton let out a deep sigh. It was obv

  • A call

    Logan started at Valentina as if she just said something impossible, he was not sure if he heard her right or probably, he was probably the one reading meanings to it. "What?" He queried. "I am very certain you heard what I said anyway. I want us to be friends, can't I ask for that much?" Valentina questioned feeling disappointed. "Why will you want to be friends with me? For what reason?" He threw the question at her. There should be no reason she would want to be friends with her, they are total strangers who are meeting for the second time today. "Because I want to communicate with you, maybe if we are friends, you will talk more" Valentina gave her reason. Logan nodded his head without saying anything. Right from childhood, he never had any friends. He was the type of kid that everyone avoided because of his physical strength. He usually beats people who find him trouble without giving them another chance to do that again. That made a lot of people his age stay far away from

  • Let's be friends

    Logan had to turn back to see who shot the gun. The gun was shot to the ceiling Andrea, it was just to scare Kelvin and it worked. He laid down flat on the floor together with his sun. Logan walked up to the little boy, picked him up from the floor, and smiled widely at him. "What is your name?" Logan questioned. "Jesse" The boy answered in a baby accent, he couldn't even pronounce well."Jesse" Logan repeated it with a nod. He took a sweet from his pocket and handed it to him then turned to Kelvin with a smirk."I am curious to know how you will react if I pull a bullet into your son's skull right now. He will die because of your stupidity. Don't blame me when that happens" Logan threatened knowing very well that he couldn't do that. "Please don't hurt my son, I am sorry I will pay back your money now" Kelvin pleaded. Everyone in his family will abandon him if anything happens to Jesse because of him."Ah! I thought you said you didn't have the money to pay babe but now you have
