Chapter 60

Adena was curious about what she had seen last night. Why was Logan behaving the way he did? What kind of nightmare could have possibly made him twist and turn on the bed like that?

She didn't care about him or his troubles, she hated him. But she really wanted to know what was happening. Adena has always been a curious right from childhood and it had gotten her into trouble several times.

"Adena, I brought your food" Liliana entered Adena's room carrying a bowl of hot soup. Adena gagged when she smelt the concoction.

"What is that? I'm not eating that" she folded her arms and pouted. Liliana smiled and dropped the bowl beside the bed. She sat next to Adena and gently inspected the wounds on her back.

"Ouch, that hurts!" Adena exclamation when Liliana touched her wound.

"Oh, sorry dear. But how do you expect the wounds to heal without the proper medication?" Liliana asked but Adena scoffed.

"Heal? What's the point? Logan is going to go ahead and inflict more wounds anyway" she rolled her eyes. Then she remembered the scene she saw last night.

"Speaking about Logan, I saw him last night. He was acting strange in his sleep" she said.

"Strangely?" Liliana asked, pretending not to know what was wrong.

"Yes, like he was having a seizure or something.. or a very scary nightmare" Adena explained.

"Oh.. well.. I don't know what you're talking about" Liliana lied. She knew very well what was happening to Logan, it has been going on for years.

"I'm sure you do" Adena said, looking at her intensely.

"Somethings are better left unsaid.." Liliana sighed.

"Besides, why do you care, you said you hate him" Liliana asked.

"Of course, I hate him, I don't care what he's going through, just curious" Adena shrugged.

"Just eat your soup, it'll help you heal faster" Liliana changed the topic and handed her the bowl of soup. Adena gagged again and hesitantly took it from her.

"Good girl" Liliana smiled as Adena put a spoonful in her mouth.

"I'll check on you later" she said and left the room. Liliana was worried about Logan, these nightmares have haunted him for years, it seemed to be getting worse. She wished for something to set him free from the darkness he is in.

It didn't shock Adena when Buster came to her room and told her that Logan needed her. She felt sorry for what her life had become. She wished for death to come and take away her misery.

She didn't want to go through the cruel punishment again, so she had no choice but to obey.

Adena entered Logan's room and met him gulping down a bottle of alcohol. His eyes were red and he staggered a bit. She realized he was drunk. She was a bit relieved, thinking that he wasn't going to be so harsh since he was drunk.

But little did she know, how dangerous Logan was, when he was intoxicated.

"What are you waiting for? Do I need to remind you again, why you're here?" He asked, in a deep husky voice.

Adena undressed and went straight to his desk and laid there waiting for him. She had lost hope. This was her fate and she had accepted it.

Logan dropped the bottle on his side stool, and approached Adena. He grabbed some rope that was lying beside his bed and to Adena's surprise, he tied her hands behind and grabbed his whip.

"Please Logan, please don't whip me again. Please" Adena started to beg. She was scared of his whip, she was terrified of him and the things he did.

Logan never has pity on anyone, he did whatever to whoever he pleases without remorse or regret. So Adena's pleas meant nothing to him. Infact, he loved it when his prey begged him.

Adena realized that Logan was even more deadly when drunk. He raised the whip and it landed on her bare back.. the same back that has been bleeding for days now. Adena yelled out in pain and tears ran down her cheeks.

He whipped her two more times before finally plunging into her sore private part, he f*cked her harshly until her screams could be heard throughout the whole house. Adena cried and wailed, her hatred for her master blossomed. She despises him more than she despises her pitiful life.

"Mother.. he's at it again. He's doing it to her again" Antoinette was crying. Liliana could only sigh. There was nothing she could do. Logan didn't listen to her anymore.

"Master is heartless! Heartless!" Antoinette cried and ran out of the house, unable to bear the loud wailing of her friend, she was heartbroken.

After Logan had his way with Adena, he called in Buster to take her to her room, since she was in no condition to walk.

Liliana wanted to take care of Adena, but Adena locked her door and asked Liliana to go away. She wanted to be alone.. possibly forever. She was brewing intense hatred for Logan.. she would kill him if she ever got the opportunity. She would kill him and watch him bleed.

💢 Unknown location 💢

"What more do you want? I've given you virtually everything I own. My money, my wealth and my body. My inheritance has been transferred to you. Do you want me to die before you stop blackmailing me?" Delaney caught herself crying in front of her tormentor.

He was her worst nightmare. He was the only one who knew the secret that she had managed to hide so well for many years. She regrets this everyday, that he saw her.

"I won't ever leave you alone Delaney, what you did so many years ago, the atrocity you committed years ago, affected me too. And it will haunt you, I will be your shadow and I will torment you, until you die" he grinned widely.

Tears fell from Delaney's eyes. She wished she could stab him.. but she was surrounded by his guards. One wrong move, they would blow her head off.

"Please, please I beg you. Don't reveal anything to anyone. Especially not Logan! Please!" Delaney fell at his feet, pleading. He was the one person, apart from Logan that could make her beg like that.

"Get out Delaney and be ready when I summon you" he said and turned his back on her. Delaney dried her tears and got up from the floor.

"Fine" she sniffed and left the building.

"I need to get him off my back. I need to think of something before he ruins everything for me" she thought as she made her way to her car.

💢 Damon's House 💢

Damon was restless, he couldn't stop thinking about Camilla, and he can't control his urge to have s3x either. Camilla had put him in a tough spot, if he doesn't do her challenge, she'll never give him a chance!

"Damon! Damon!" He heard a familiar voice calling him from downstairs. He went to the staircase railing to look only to find Anastasia talking to his niece, Zoey.

"Sh*t!" He cursed.

"Not this annoying b*tch! I can't believe she's back" he groaned.

"Damon!!" Anastasia's screeching voice came again when she looked up and saw him. Zoey giggled, knowing how much Damon was annoyed by Anastasia.

Zoey was Damon's late sister's only daughter. After Damon's sister and her husband were involved in an accident, he was left to take care of 12 year old Zoey.

"Um.. I'm heading out" Damon made up an excuse when Anastasia came up to meet him.

She frowned.

"Going out? But I just got here.. let me take you to the bedroom and give it to you just the way you like it" she winked. Damon was tempted.

He had slept with Anastasia on many occasions but he never had feelings for her. Infact, she only annoyed him.

"I'm sorry, I can't" Damon tried to resist.

"I have to see Logan right away" he said and left as quickly as he could to avoid any more temptations.

Anastasia was chubby quite alright, but she was se*y.

"Where is he going? He didn't even wait to hear me out" Anastasia pouted.

"Probably to see that girl" Zoey answered.

"Girl? What girl?"

"Uh.. I think he said her name was Camilla. She dared him to stay away from girls! And he's bent on doing it" Zoey giggled.

"But I doubt he can" she added and skipped away.

Anastasia was jealous. Who could it be?

This Camilla that made Damon not to look her way. Normally, he would pounce on her, but today, he rejected her.

She wanted to find out who Camilla was, Anastasia didn't want to share her 'man'.



"What do you mean by that? Are you trying to say that you haven't found out anything about who tried to burn my warehouse?!" Logan barked at the petite man standing before him.

The detective shivered, his shirt was already drenched in his own sweat. Fear had overwhelmed him because he knew what Logan was capable of doing if he didn't get what he wanted.

"Mr Stoll, we are trying our best, but we haven't found anything. But the new security system has been installed and if the perpetrator strikes again, we'll catch him red-handed" the detective said, as calm as he could.

Logan turned to him, flashing a deadly look at the detective, who immediately looked away.

"You better find him, or you'll pay for his crime" he said.

"Rest assured, we will find whoever it is, sir" the detective answered boldly and Logan dismissed him.

He was furious. It's been days now and the fool who dared to intrude into his warehouse has not been found. He was restless because somebody was planning evil against him, nobody has the guts to do that.

So who could it be?

His warehouse was stocked with many expensive building materials, gemstones and other things that were equally expensive. It was almost half of his fortune and he couldn't risk it getting burnt to ashes.

Along with the security system, Logan placed a lot of guards outside the warehouse to guard it day in and day out. He wasn't going to take any chances.

💢 8:15pm 💢

Logan stood on the balcony, in his dark purple robe and puffing put smoke from his cigar, when he heard knocks on his door.

"Logan!" That was Delaney's voice. He groaned. She was the last person he wanted to see, but unfortunately, he has no option but to let her in. If he didn't, he'd be breaking a promise he made to his late father.

"Come in" he said.

Delaney pushed the door open and walked in. She looked troubled, her blackmailer had been giving her a hard time, she had to get Logan to marry her as soon as possible. Then she would gain the power to kill the blackmailer for good.

"What do you want Delaney? And why do you look so worried?" Logan questioned, not that he cared though.

"Logan, when are you going to make me your wife?" Delaney asked. Logan sighed, trying to control his anger. He was already pissed off by the person trying to burn his warehouse..

"Look Delaney, I don't want to talk about this okay? If this is why you came in here, you might as well leave" he said and continued to puff out smoke from his cigar.

Delaney groaned.

"No.. you have to give me a reasonable answer this time Logan. We have been betrothed for close to 10 years now, when are you finally going to make me your wife? Or are you planning to go against the promise you made to your father?" Delaney whined.

"Delaney look, I have a lot of things on my mind right now. I'd appreciate it if you let me be.. before you get on my nerves" Logan said, trying very hard to be calm but Delaney was annoying the sh*t out of him.

"You can't keep pushing me aside like this Logan! You know how much I love you. I've always loved you, even when we were kids. Let's get engaged at least!" Delaney continued to whine.

"Delaney!!" Logan screamed, she paused with tears in her eyes.

"Just.. just get out! Get the f*ck out before I lose control!" He yelled at her. She stared at him for a moment before running out of his room.

She was heartbroken, she loved Logan, she loved him in a way no one was able to love him, but he had never appreciated her. Now she needs to marry him, to secure her secret, but he isn't looking her way.

💢 11:00pm 💢

"Logan! Logan!!" Loud bangs landed on Logan's door and jerked him from his sleep. He raced to door, opened it and Damon rushed in, breathing heavily. He looked greatly disturbed.

"What's the matter? Why are you shouting like that in the middle of the nigh!" Logan asked, panting.

"The.. the.. warehouse.. the warehouse" Damon stammered, his breathing wasn't stabilized. He had raced down to Logan's house all the way from his own house after hearing the shocking news.

"Yes? What happened to my warehouse?" Logan asked, getting tensed up.

"The manager just called Logan! The warehouse is on fire!" Damon exclaimed. Logan moved backwards in shock.

"My warehouse is what?!"

"Everything has been burnt to the ground!" Damon said.

"F*ck!" Logan cursed and quickly threw on his robe over his bare body. He rushed out of the room, followed by Damon. They entered his car and drove off in a hurry.

"Where the f*ck were all the guards!" He barked.

"They were all shot dead at the spot" Damon answered, giving Logan another shock. Whoever did this, must have planned it out very carefully.

"I won't spare that bast@rd! Whoever he is!" Logan was very cross now. He drove like a madman on the empty road, ignoring the traffic lights. Damon was scared that they would have an accident if he didn't slow down, but Logan cared less.

Within minutes, they arrived at the warehouse, it was still blazing, but firefighters were already trying their best to calm the fire.

"Mr Stoll, please come with me!" The detective said, he made his way to his cop car and Logan followed. Damon went to help the firefighters and other workers to rescue some goods. Although almost everything had been turned to ashes.

"We found the culprit. The newly installed security system worked perfectly and the culprit has been traced. Some of the policeman have gone to get him right now" the detective explained, pointing to a recorded footage. Logan nodded, unable to speak.

He paced up and down, watching his hard work turn to dust. His face had turned pure red, he was so angry. All he wanted was to see the one responsible for everything.

"Oh, it seems they're here!" The detective exclaimed and Logan rushed over to cops and grabbed the man they came with. He punched him hard on his nose until the man bled.

"Mr Stoll, allow the police to take care of this" an inspector said, Logan glared at him.

"Don't you dare tell me what to do. I'll handle this, my way" he said and pulled the man away to a secured room at the back of his warehouse. He tied him up with the help of some of his men.

"Tell me now! Tell me who sent you to burn my warehouse! Because you're obviously not the mastermind" Logan screamed at the man.

The man was average height, and was wearing black pants and a black shirt. He had a big scar on his cheek, he was obviously a hired assassin of some sort.

"I won't tell you anything" the man said, looking straight into Logan's eyes. Logan chuckled and landed another huge blow on his face. A tooth fell out.

"I said, tell me who sent you!" Logan ordered. He was getting impatient, very impatient. He wanted to k!ll him, but he had to get his information first.

"Tell me!!" He yelled. But the man didn't budge.

Logan pulled out a dagger, he forcefully took the man's hand and placed it on the desk beside them. The man panicked, wondering what Logan was going to do with the dagger.

You won't tell me right?" He smirked. With a lot of force, he lifted the dagger and it landed on the man's index finger, ripping it off completely. The man's screams could be heard miles away, as his finger was bleeding profusely.

"Now, will you tell me.. or should I take the thumb?" Logan asked, lifting the dagger again but the man screamed.

"No.. no please I'll tell you. It's.. it's Tyson Harper.. it's him" he confessed.

Logan was pleased but also confused. Why would the same person who helped him get a security system, do this to him?

"Tyson?" He asked and sighed. He looked at the man and didn't hesitate before using the dagger to separate his head from the rest of his body.

"Tyson" he called, cleaning the blood on his dagger. He went outside to meet Damon. They had managed to subdue the fire, but the damage was much.. millions were lost..several millions!

"Put a call through to Tyson" he ordered Damon.

📞 "Damon!"

📞 "Hello Logan, long time, no see"

📞 "You know, you just messed with the wrong person. You're going to pay for the loss you cost me, your blood will be used to pay for it"

📞 "I'm waiting for you Logan. Do your worst"

📞 "It's war"

Logan hung up.

Tyson laughed loudly after hanging up the call.

"Oh Logan! You will lose everything you have. The security system will only help me monitor you, and I'll make you lose everything your father stole from me" he said and entered his room.

"Logan.. it was Tyson?" Damon was shocked.

"Why would he do that?"

"I don't know and I don't care. I'll make him pay for every penny he cost me. He doesn't know who I am" Logan seethed.

"What are you going to do?" Damon asked, afraid that there might be an actual war.

"Hit him where it hurts" Logan replied and walked away.
