Chapter 536
Two of the intruders from the Order of the Eclipse lay unconscious on the driveway, their weapons scattered beside them. Charlotte stood a few steps behind Logan, still trying to steady her breathing.“I can’t believe they attacked already,” she said quietly.Logan’s eyes remained fixed on the dark road beyond the gate.“They weren’t trying to win,” he replied.Charlotte frowned. “Then why come at all?”“To measure me,” Logan said calmly. “To see what the stone can do.”Charlotte looked at the glowing stone in his hand again. Its faint light had dimmed slightly, but it still pulsed with a quiet energy.“What are we going to do with these two?” she asked, glancing at the unconscious men.Logan walked toward them slowly.“We ask them questions.”Just then, several security vehicles rushed into the driveway. Logan’s private security team had finally arrived after receiving Charlotte’s earlier alert.The team leader stepped out quickly.“Sir! We received the emergency signal. What happene

Logan stood still for a moment, the stone glowing steadily in his palm. Charlotte watched him, her heartbeat quickening as the tension in the room thickened.“They’re outside,” Logan said quietly.Charlotte swallowed. “You’re certain?”Logan nodded slowly. “The stone only reacts like this when there’s hostile energy nearby.”Charlotte moved closer to him. “Should we call security?”Logan shook his head.“No.”Charlotte frowned. “Why not?”“Because I want to see who they sent.”Outside the mansion gates, the three men from the van moved swiftly but silently. They carried compact devices and wore dark tactical clothing. Each one had the small silver ring marked with the eclipse symbol.One of them knelt near the gate panel and pulled out a hacking device.“Thirty seconds,” he whispered.The second man scanned the area with night-vision goggles.“No guards in sight.”The third man spoke quietly into a small communicator.“Eclipse team one in position.”A calm voice responded from the oth

Charlotte stood beside him, her eyes fixed on the glowing stone lying quietly on the table. The phone call had changed the atmosphere completely.“Logan,” she said softly, “who do you think they are… this Order of the Eclipse?”Logan folded his arms and stared at the stone thoughtfully.“I don’t know yet,” he admitted. “But anyone who knows about the stone and has been watching me this closely is not ordinary.”Charlotte felt a chill run through her spine.“So they’ve been observing everything?” she asked.“Most likely,” Logan replied calmly. “My confrontation with the Collins family… the way the stone restored your senses… the abilities it awakened in me. They know all of it.”Charlotte glanced at the windows as if expecting shadows to be watching them from outside.“What if they’re already here?”Logan’s voice remained steady. “Then they’re patient.”He picked up the stone again. The faint glow pulsed softly against his palm, almost as if the object had a life of its own.“This sto

Night settled over the city like a dark veil, the tall buildings glittering beneath a sky filled with restless clouds. Logan Brooks stood quietly in his private study inside the mansion, staring at the shiny stone resting on the polished table.The stone had changed everything.Ever since the day he discovered it, his strength had multiplied, his awareness had sharpened, and his enemies had begun to fall one after another. Yet Logan still did not fully understand the source of its power.Charlotte walked in quietly and noticed his thoughtful expression.“You’ve been staring at that stone again,” she said gently.Logan did not immediately reply. He picked up the stone slowly, turning it between his fingers as its faint glow flickered.“This thing saved you,” he finally said.Charlotte nodded.“And it destroyed those who tried to harm us,” she added.Logan placed the stone back down carefully.“That’s exactly why I’m cautious about it.”Charlotte frowned slightly. “Why?”“Power like thi

Marcus Collins had vanished from the city shortly after the confrontation at the estate. No one had seen him publicly since that night. Sophia had retreated into her mansion, rarely leaving except for essential matters. Their once-vibrant social presence had faded almost overnight.And Charis…Charis remained the most mysterious piece of the puzzle.Logan had not heard from her again after her visit to his office.Still, he knew better than to assume anything.People who tasted power rarely forgot it.One afternoon, Logan sat reviewing financial reports when his assistant entered.“Sir,” she said respectfully.Logan looked up.“Yes?”“There’s someone here to see you.”Logan frowned slightly.“Name?”“Charis Collins.”For a moment, Logan said nothing.Then he leaned back slowly.“Send her in.”The assistant nodded and stepped out.A minute later, the door opened.Charis walked inside.Logan studied her carefully.She looked even more different than the last time. The sharp arrogance th

That night, Logan returned to his mansion with Charlotte beside him. The streets of the city were quiet, but his mind was still alert. He had neutralized Marcus Collins and his operatives, but he knew that power struggles never ended—they only paused until the next move. Charlotte could sense his tension, though she tried not to show it.“Logan,” she said softly as they entered the living room, “it’s done. They’re gone. You handled everything.”Logan nodded but didn’t sit immediately. He placed the shiny stone back on the desk, staring at it thoughtfully. “It’s not just about handling them. It’s about making sure nothing like this ever happens again. The Collins family might be quiet now, but desperation can make anyone dangerous.”Charlotte stayed close. “And what about us? After all of this… after everything that happened?”Logan’s gaze softened slightly. “We rebuild. We recover. But there are some things that can’t be undone, and some truths that can’t be ignored.”Charlotte swallo
