2024-08-30 16:58:42Logan's psychological defenses completely crumbled. He could no longer suppress the anger boiling inside him; the pent-up rage erupted like volcanic lava in that moment as he threw a powerful punch at the smug face of Troy.
Troy hadn’t expected the usually weak Logan to strike him. Before he could even react, Logan unleashed a flurry of punches.
Logan landed blow after blow on Troy, then kicked him to the ground.
Troy tried to get back up to fight back, but Logan had him firmly by the throat, pinning him to the floor, rendering him immobile.
Logan’s eyes were red, wild like a beast, completely devoid of reason. He pressed his knee against Troy’s neck, causing Troy’s face to turn purple.
It looked like Troy was about to choke, desperately clawing at Logan’s hands and pushing against the floor with his feet, but it was no use.
Troy wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn’t get the words out. Tears of desperation streamed down his face.
If God gave him another chance to choose, he would never have gotten involved with Bethany... Well, he would definitely hire a bodyguard to ensure his safety!
Just as Troy was about to lose consciousness, a startled Bethany finally reacted. She grabbed a large vase nearby and swung it down hard onto Logan’s head!
Bang! A sharp sound echoed through the room.
Logan turned his head, blood pouring from his wound, and managed a grim smile at Bethany before finally passing out.
Troy gasped for fresh air, feeling grateful to be alive. It was the closest he had ever been to death!
Then, he shot a resentful glance at Logan, who lay unconscious on the floor, and kicked Logan’s body with the tip of his shoe to vent his anger. He didn’t stop until he felt exhausted.
“What do we do now? He didn’t sign the divorce papers,” Bethany asked worriedly.
Troy shot her an annoyed look, dissatisfied that she hadn’t immediately helped him. He snapped, “Even if he didn’t sign, I’ll make sure he loses everything! He dared to hit me and even tried to kill me! I’ll make him rot in prison! By the time he gets out, he won’t even be able to find a job!”
“Let’s call the police now!”
... ...
When Logan woke up, he found himself handcuffed and strapped to a chair in an interrogation room at the police station, but he was alone.
He felt pain in his head and body, but it paled in comparison to the emotional damage inflicted on him by the two lovers.
Three years ago, he had married Bethany to prove to his father that his choice was right, and he had resolutely cut ties with his family. Yet, it turned out that his decision had been foolish! He had been wrong from the very beginning!
Thinking about how Hillary wasn’t his biological daughter made his heart ache.
Logan had thought Bethany had only recently betrayed him, but clearly, she had been involved with Troy before they even got married and had become pregnant with that man’s child.
Logan found it utterly ridiculous; Hillary had been born healthy when she was barely eight months old, and he had never questioned it.
He had spent three years proving that he had taken a completely wrong path! He was nothing but a complete joke!
Just then, Troy walked in, accompanied by a police officer.
“Mr. Troy, it’s your time now,” the officer said to Troy in a somewhat flattering tone, then shot a sympathetic glance at Logan before leaving.
Once the door closed, Troy swaggered over to Logan, kicked his chair over, and placed his shoe on Logan’s face.
He began to shout hysterically, “Mr. Logan, didn’t you want to kill me? Come on, kill me!”
Logan calmly closed his eyes, knowing that the more angry he appeared, the more excited this despicable man would become.
“Damn it, why aren’t you talking?” Seeing Logan’s silence, Troy kicked Logan’s thigh in frustration.
Logan gritted his teeth, cold sweat dripping down his forehead. But he would never beg for mercy!
“I have some bad news for you. Your divorce application with Bethany has been approved. From now on, Bethany is my mistress, and Hillary is my daughter. Oh, and as her legal father, remember to pay at least $10,000 in child support every month once you get out of prison,” Troy said smugly.
However, Logan remained unresponsive, keeping his eyes tightly shut.
Troy scoffed, “Logan, I hope you can stay as tough as you are now while you’re in prison!”
Troy left, then instructed the police to put Logan in solitary confinement and to “take good care” of him.
The officers had no choice but to comply, as Troy’s father-in-law was a big shot in the city.
That night, Logan sat in the dimly lit corner of the solitary confinement cell, feeling utterly hopeless. He knew that once he entered a real prison, Troy would definitely arrange for someone to take revenge on him! But he felt powerless to resist.
For the first time, Logan felt a deep desire for power. If he had wealth and influence, both Troy and Bethany would kneel in front of him, wagging their tails like dogs to please him.
Suddenly, the door to the solitary confinement room swung open, and the bright light from outside flooded in, nearly blinding him.
A well-dressed older man appeared in the doorway, with light and hope behind him. He slowly said, “Young master, I’m here to take you home…”

CHAPTER 263
As the night grew deeper, the table emptied, leaving only Logan, Alexander, Seraphina, and Udinov nursing their drinks. Patricia had gone to check on a renovation project upstairs, giving Logan a rare moment alone with his children. He leaned forward, resting his arms on the table. “You’re all too busy.” Seraphina smirked. “That’s rich, coming from you.” Logan chuckled. “I know. But when was the last time you all sat like this? No boardrooms, no deals, no strategies?” None of them answered and then Logan sighed. “You were raised to be strong, to command, to win. But power without family means nothing.” Alexander exhaled, rubbing his temples. “You’re getting sentimental here, Dad.” “Maybe,” Logan admitted and continued; “Or maybe I just don’t want you three to lose what I fought so hard to build, which was not the empire, but this.” Alexander tapped the rim of his glass. “And what exactly is this?” Logan looked at them, they were his legacy, his greatest creations, he utt
CHAPTER 262
Udinov got another text from his dad's right hand that the meeting was postponed, so he decided to join Seraphina and Alexander for dinner at their family estate, then he would go back home to his parents after. Besides, the Bentley family are like his first home, he calls Patricia ‘mama’ and she treats him like a second son she never had. They boarded a flight and headed home. The Bentley Estate was standing brightly, in the twilight, its grandeur was untouched by time. The sprawling mansion was an empire in itself, it was where titans were raised. Tonight, however it was not about power or strategy, it was about family. Seraphina Bentley stepped out of her sleek car, a product of her company’s innovation. The estate’s lights illuminated the driveway, which was a path she had walked on since childhood. She didn’t need to knock, the doors swung open as if the house itself knew she had arrived. "About time," a familiar voice drawled. She smirked as Alexander leaned again
CHAPTER 261
Seraphina, Alexander, and Udinov had eliminated The Black Concordat. The world was once again theirs. But power was never still. It was always shifting, always evolving. And now, they had to decide if they would rule the world as it was or if they would reshape it? They didn’t just want an empire, they wanted absolute dominion. Few months later, in a private island in the Mediterranean A meeting unlike any other had been arranged. The most powerful people in the world, billionaires, world leaders, and shadow rulers all arrived in secret, each escorted by heavily armed security. But at the center of it all, inside a grand glass-walled hall overlooking the ocean, stood three figures. They were none other than Seraphina, his twin brother Alexander Bentley and Udinov Volkov. This meeting wasn't one of negotiation, it was a declaration. Seraphina spoke first, her voice steady and commanding. "You are all here because you think you control the world, but let me make something
CHAPTER 260
With the Dominions wiped out, the Bentley-Volkov dynasty had reclaimed its throne. The war between the heirs had turned into an alliance, one built on necessity, respect, and the undeniable truth that they were stronger together. But power never truly rests, the world watched, waiting to see if Seraphina, Alexander, and Udinov would hold their reign, or if a new storm was already brewing. Two months after Dominion's fall, the three heirs met again, this time in Hong Kong, inside a high-rise that belonged to Bentley International Banking. Inside the boardroom, tension crackled like a coming storm. Seraphina stood at the head of the table, her gaze sharp. "Dominion wasn’t the end." Alexander leaned back in his chair, arms crossed. "Go on." She tapped on the table, and a holographic display flickered to life filled with names, locations, financial transactions. "Before Dominion fell, someone else was moving in the shadows, picking up the pieces. They call themselves The Bl
CHAPTER 259
Over the years, many years later, the world had changed. The names Bentley and Volkov were no longer just synonymous with wealth. They had become something more, they had become an unstoppable dynasty that shaped economies, influenced governments, and controlled the very pulse of power in the world. Logan Bentley and Damien Volkov had done the impossible, they had not only built an empire, but they had ensured its survival. But every empire faces its greatest challenge, because the bigger it becomes the more threats it attracts. And this time, the threat wasn’t from the outside like it used to be, this particular one was from within. Seraphina Bentley grew up to become the Visionary of the empire, she had always been so smart and took her father's brilliance and foresight. She is a strategist, a builder, a force just at the age of twenty-three, she had transformed Bentley Innovations into an empire of the future, dominating artificial intelligence, clean energy, and spac
CHAPTER 258
The next day, Troy Reece and his son stood by the balcony, he didn't allow him to go back home the night before for fear he would get abducted. There were unspoken words between them For years, Troy had imagined this very moment when he would talk to his son in person again, he had rehearsed apologies in the quiet of his guilt, whispered confessions into thin air, but now, standing before his son, no words seemed enough. Ethan’s fists clenched at his sides, his expression unreadable. There was hesitation in his eyes, a war between the hurt of abandonment and the reluctant gratitude he couldn’t ignore. The weight of Troy’s absence had shaped him in ways no one would hope for, but then the knowledge that his father had, in his own way, protected him from Arthur’s threats, from a darkness Ethan never fully understood. "You left me," Ethan said at last, his voice quiet but razor-sharp. "For years, I told myself I’d never forgive you, I even hoped we would never meet." Troy’s th
