Logan calmly watched her go, a playful smile on his face.

Unknown to Barbara and the whole Sullivan Family, he was now the president of the Rhine Corporation — so whether they cooperated or not was entirely up to him.

Wasn't it?

Liam was nothing!

But when he glanced at Charlotte, he saw her brows furrowed with worry.

Logan’s heart softened.

She not only had to worry about their daughter, she also had to worry about the company.

He pulled her into his arms and reassured her.

“Don’t worry, we’ll find a way. Remember the struggling businessman I mentioned I had helped before? He has connections and is willing to lend us a helping hand.”

Charlotte nodded with hesitation.

Though she agreed, the worry didn’t leave her face.

******

Logan decided to take over the Rhine Corporation soon.

Now that he was going to wield enough influence, he'd secure Charlotte’s place as the unshakable CEO of Elysian Bloom.

His wife, Charlotte, had endured the harsh treatment of the cold-hearted Sullivan family board long enough.

Despite her unwavering loyalty, sharp leadership, and clear vision, they refused to recognize her true worth.

Now, no one would dare belittle her again and their daughter would grow up in a world where her mother was respected, not scorned.

Logan swore inwardly.

That night, while Logan sat in his study strategizing their next corporate move, Charlotte remained at Vermil Hospital, silently keeping vigil by their daughter Chloe’s bedside as she lay unconscious after a grueling—but half successful—surgery.

According to the doctor, Chloe would remain unconscious for quite a long time.

The good news, however, was that Chloe still had a big chance of making a full recovery.

For Logan and Charlotte, this was a small blessing amidst all the misfortune.

Just then, Charlotte’s phone buzzed against the table.

She had forgotten it in the rush to return to Chloe's bedside.

Logan glanced at the phone dismissively, about to silence it, when a message notification popped up.

Thinking it might be an urgent update from the company, he decided to check, in case he needed to pass it on to Charlotte right away.

He picked up the phone, and immediately noticed the sender was ... Liam.

His eyes narrowed dangerously.

Feeling something was off, he clicked on the message to read.

And what he saw made his pupils shrink with rage.

"Ms Sullivan, I’m giving you one last chance. Meet me at Room 238, Grand Bellaria Hotel, tonight at 10 PM. Let’s discuss privately how your company can collaborate with mine. Come alone."

It was a short message, but it struck Logan’s deepest nerve.

Logan’s eyes burned with fury.

Even if he didn’t know much about Liam, he realized what Liam was up to.

Liam’s plans to marry Charlotte had failed, and now he had likely devised another scheme to get her into his bed.

This wasn’t going to be a business meeting—it was something entirely different!

Fucking bastard!

Without a second thought, Logan deleted the message.

He was no longer that useless son-in-law who couldn’t protect what mattered.

Now, he would protect it all.

Logan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, repeating to himself over and over.

“Starting today, anyone who tries to hurt my family ... will pay the price.”

When he opened his eyes again, they gleamed with a chilling light.

A cold, calm smile curled on his lips.

“Liam Hayes! Begging for death already? Don’t worry — I’ll make it slow, and unforgettable.”

With rage and cold calculation battling within him, he made a call.

“Activate Shadow Protocol. I want Liam Hayes investigated to the last shred of his dignity. Full background. Bring the evidence.”

Within half an hour, Kane, the head of Logan's newly gained Shadow Guards, arrived with a dossier.

Fifteen minutes later, Logan arrived at the Grand Bellaria Hotel, along with Kane and seven other Shadow Guards.

These Shadow Guards were all armed, each of them capable of taking on a hundred men.

“Young Master, dealing with Liam Hayes is easy job. Why don’t you stay here in the car while we take care of him? I promise to finish him off clean and fast,” Kane suggested.

“I know it’s easy taking him down. But that’s not what I want. I'm here to ruin him!” Logan said, his voice cold as ice.

Logan then put on a custom silver bat-style AI mask with a voice changer that Kane handed him, to conceal his true identity.

He didn’t want to expose his identity in front of Liam.

He only wanted to make sure his wife and their daughter would never be bullied again.

As long as he could protect them quietly from the shadows, that was enough for him.

At exactly 10 PM, they arrived at Room 238.

Kane and the other seven bodyguards moved with brutal efficiency, surrounding the room.

Logan knocked on the door and waited patiently for Liam to answer.

Within seconds, the door creaked open.

Liam, wearing a smug grin and a silk robe with nothing underneath, stepped out.

His mouth already running.

“Oh here comes my beauty Charlotte. As long as you satisfy me tonight, everything else is negotiable. Otherwise —”

    The woman’s beauty was undeniable, but what drew more attention was the air of authority she carried, as though the room itself bowed to her. Conversations hushed slightly as eyes followed her path.When she reached Logan, she extended her hand with a confident smile.“Mr. Brooks,” she said smoothly, her voice low but commanding. “I’ve heard much about you.”Logan’s sharp eyes studied her, narrowing slightly as he placed his glass down and took her hand in a firm shake. “And you are?”“The daughter of the Minister of Security,” she replied, her smile widening as though she enjoyed the ripple of surprise her introduction caused. “You may call me Isabella.”Logan inclined his head respectfully. “A rare honor, then. I don’t often find myself in such company.”Isabella leaned slightly closer, her perfume subtle yet intoxicating. “Oh, don’t be modest. I heard you’re the iron hand—the man who never bends, who always gets things done, no matter the cost.”There was a flicker of satisfac

    The evening air around the Ministry of Security’s residence was crisp, tinged with the faint aroma of freshly pruned hedges that lined the vast compound.Floodlights swept across the stone walls, illuminating guards stationed at every corner. The black vehicle that carried Logan pulled to a slow halt at the main entrance.Logan stepped out with measured calm, dressed in a perfectly tailored dark suit that whispered power without the need for words. His jaw was set, eyes sharp, and demeanor commanding—he was a man who carried storms within him yet concealed them beneath a composed exterior.The guards, upon verifying his details, wasted no time. One of them gave a crisp salute, the kind reserved for men who mattered. “Mr. Brooks, you are expected. Please, this way.”He was ushered past the grand double doors of the Ministry’s residence, where polished marble floors gleamed under golden chandeliers. The corridor was wide, lined with oil paintings of national heroes and towering fig

    Carter’s gaze fell directly on Harry, unflinching. “Shocked to see us?” he asked, his voice smooth but dangerous, carrying that calm menace only someone used to power could wield.Harry swallowed hard, his throat dry. "You see, Harry, this is our opportunity.” He gestured with a long, pale hand, pointing to the men standing ready behind him. “Our opportunity to deal with you ourselves, instead of letting the police—or anyone else—handle you. Tonight, this is on our terms.”Harry’s stomach dropped. “Deal with me?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. He could feel the weight of their eyes pressing into his back, the expectation radiating from them like heat from fire.Carter took a measured step closer. “Yes, deal with you,” he repeated. “You’ll pay for John's blood!".His words cut like steel, sharp and absolute. “You killed our brother. That much is clear. But John’s name, his life, will not be twisted further in any… ritual or revenge. That line, Harry, we do not cross.”

    Logan arrived in front of the Minister of Security’s residence.He was immediately led to a grand hall. The grand hall shimmered with light, the chandeliers raining golden brilliance down on the gathering of men who shaped the country from behind the curtains. Their suits were dark, their expressions unreadable, their whispers soft but sharp as blades. Every move in that hall carried meaning. Every glance was political.He had been summoned, guided, and tested. Now, at last, he had been chosen.The Minister of Security himself rose from his place near the dais, a tall figure with a presence that silenced the murmurs around him. He held a polished wooden case in his hands, simple but regal. The moment stretched, each second echoing in Logan’s chest like a war drum.“Logan,” the Minister said, his voice deep and resonant, “through years of precision, loyalty, and ruthlessness when necessary, you have been deemed worthy of what so very few in our history have carried. Tonight, we besto

    Logan seized Charlotte by the wrist and pulled her toward the door. Her breaths came fast and shallow, each one tinged with panic and exhaustion. She stumbled against him at first, her legs trembling from what she had endured, but he steadied her, half-carrying her out of the suffocating room where she had nearly lost everything.The air outside was sharp, carrying the faint smell of damp soil and rotting wood. To Charlotte, it felt like the first clean breath she had taken in hours. Logan didn’t slow down. He dragged her past the broken porch, across the crunching gravel, and toward the line of vehicles where his men were already fanned out, keeping watch for resistance.“Clear the way!” Logan barked, his voice echoing through the night like steel striking stone. His men immediately shifted formation, covering the flanks while keeping their weapons trained on the house.Charlotte’s knees buckled again, and Logan tightened his grip on her shoulder. “Stay with me,” he muttered, his

    Logan advanced closer to the bed where Mart hovered over Charlotte, his voice steady but filled with the force of restrained fury.“Get up from her,” he ordered, each word cutting like steel. “Leave her alone. Now.”The command was not just spoken—it thundered through the dimly lit room like a judgment long overdue. His chest rose and fell with deep, controlled breaths, but the fire in his eyes betrayed the storm raging inside.Charlotte lay beneath Mart, trembling, her wrists raw from the ropes, her breath broken by sobs she was too exhausted to suppress. Her wide eyes darted to Logan, clinging to the sudden light of hope that had burst into her prison. She had prayed for rescue, whispered desperate pleas into the dark, and now he stood before her like an avenging force.But Mart and his men were not cowed. Fury twisted their faces. One of them, the one holding the knife at the edge of the bed, stepped forward. His expression carried both madness and arrogance as he raised the blad
