Chapter 63

"Zoey!! Hurry up!" Damon yelled from the door and looked at his wristwatch again. He sighed. They had a long journey ahead and needed to set off on time.

Zoey raced down the staircase holding a fluff teddy bear and smiling broadly.

"Sorry uncle, I went to get Bobby" she said, Damon lifted his brow.

"Who's Bobby?" He asked.

Zoey waved the teddy bear in his face.

"That's Bobby"

"Whatever, go to the car, let me lock up" he said and Zoey skipped outside happily.

Damon had decided to go back to New York and fix things with Logan. He had earlier dropped Camilla at the train station, it wasn't easy for him to let her go but he had to do the right thing.

"Time to go" Damon sighed as he entered the car. He looked at Zoey through the rear mirror and she was playing with her teddy. He smiled and drove off towards the big city.

Within hours, Damon had arrived in New York City, he was nervous about meeting with Logan again. He dropped Zoey at their house with a babysitter before going to Logan's mansion. He summoned up enough courage to face Logan, he was prepared for the worst.

The guards arrested Damon as soon as they saw him. They bundled him to Logan's room like some sort of criminal. He struggled to get loose from their grip but they were too powerful for him.

"Master, look who we found sneaking around" Buster reported as they threw Damon at Logan's feet.

Logan was standing with his hands behind him, wearing his black robe. His hair was in a mess as he had just stepped out of the shower. He stared down at Damon and back at the guards.

"Get out" he ordered them and they left immediately.

Damon knelt there, his heart thumping. He knew it would take nothing for Logan to blow his brains off, he started to regret his decision.

"C'mon Damon. Get off the floor" Logan asked, surprisingly calm. He walked over to his desk and took his cigar.

Damon was surprised, he didn't expect Logan to be this calm. He slowly got of the floor and stared at the intimidating man in front of him.

"What are you doing here?" Logan asked.

"I want to ask for your forgiveness Logan. I'm sorry I betrayed you, I.. I was just blinded by.. love" Damon sighed. Logan stood there, smoking and glaring at him. Logan's eyes were on Damon's injured shoulder, he felt bad for that.

"Please forgive me" he added.

"Damon, even after I shot you, you still had the guts to walk in here and talk to me?" Logan asked. Damon was unable to figure out what he meant by the statement. Logan showed no expression, his face was stern as usual.

"I'm.. I'm sorry?" Damon said, more like a question.

Logan chuckled.

"Damon.." he called out and dropped his cigar in the ash tray. He moved closer to the confused man and placed both hands on his shoulders. Damon was scared but maintained a straight face.

"You're a good friend. I never thought you would come back after I tried to kill you" Logan confessed, Damon was shocked.

"I'm happy to have you back on my side. I'm sorry for what I did, your absence was torture" he admitted and pulled his best friend into a hug. Damon was still shocked, he couldn't believe that those words will come out from Logan.

"You're not going to see that girl again, right?" Logan still had strong hatred for Tyson and his sister.

"No.." Damon replied, sadly.

He was heartbroken that he might never see Camilla again, but he was thankful he didn't lose his best friend. He had to accept things the way they were. Maybe, Camilla was never meant to be with him.

Anastasia was very happy when she learnt that Damon would no longer be seeing Camilla. She no longer has to carry out her bad plots, she can now comfortably make Damon hers... Or so she thought.

Damon got to his house late that night, after helping Logan with some work and was surprised to see Anastasia playing with Zoey in the living room. He was not pleased with this at all.

"Anastasia? What are you doing here? And where is the babysitter?" Damon asked, his eyes searching the house.

"Welcome home darling! You should take a bath and come for dinner. I made your favorite" Anastasia winked, taking Damon's coat off as Zoey watched.

"I asked you a question! Where is the damned babysitter!?" Damon was angry.

"Calm down okay?" Anastasia shrugged. She met Damon's angry glare and rolled her eyes.

"I told her to leave. I'm capable of taking care of Zoey" she answered, placing her hands on her waist.

"This babysitting agency must be so incompetent! How could they let a stranger in to take care of my child? I'm going to sue them" Damon said, exasperated and frankly disgusted by the act.

"Excuse me! Who are you calling a stranger? Damon! I once aborted a baby for you!" Anastasia blurted out. Revealing something that they had both agreed to keep hidden.

"Anastasia!!" He yelled and turned to Zoey.

"Go upstairs to your room Zoey" he ordered and the little girl ran up without looking back.

"How could you say that out loud in front of a child!?" He queried.

"Because you're trying to deny me Damon"

"I was just 19 when that happened! It was youthful exuberance" Damon waved it off but Anastasia was insistent.

"I'm not going to take that Damon. You're not going to throw me away just like that. You belong to me" she snapped.

"Anastasia, just get out of my house and don't you ever come back here without my permission" he commanded, pointing towards the door.

Anastasia growled at him before walking hastily out of the house with her bag, pushing him out of her way.

This wasn't the last time Damon would be seeing her. She would keep coming back, until he accepts her as his one and only.

💢 9:28am 💢

"Damon, get the files on my desk and take them to my car. We're already late for the meeting with our Chinese friends" Logan said, hastily putting on his white shirt.

"Yes, it's almost nine thirty, we have to hurry" Damon mumbled as he packed the files into his right hand. He quickly took them to the car and on his way back to Logan's room, he met Adena.

She was carrying a tray of empty plates downstairs when they coincided.

"I'm sorry my lady" he said, like a gentleman. Adena had never really spent time or talked to Damon before. But she admired how calm, respectful and friendly he was, unlike Logan.

"I'm sorry master" she bowed her head.

"It's okay" he was about to walk away when Adena couldn't stop herself from talking to him.

"So you're just going to abandon her because of a friend who tried to shoot you?" She asked and he stopped, turning back to her.

"Excuse me?"

"I heard that you left her, the pretty woman you saved the other day from master. Obviously you're in love with her, you shouldn't have let her go just like that, for a heartless man like master" Adena explained, looking straight into Damon's eyes.

Damon was surprised at the young girl's courage. She wasn't timid at all. She had a very fierce aura.

"What do you know about love? You look, um, 17 or so" Damon said, scanning her from head to toe. Her red hair was in a total mess, her body was full of bruises and the oversized clothes she wore made her look so little.

"I'm 18, sir" she replied cockily.

"Oh, I see. What would you know about love then?" He asked.

"I may not know much, I have never received true love from anyone. My parents didn't live long enough to shower me with love. But I do know that if you love something, or someone, you have to fight for them" Adena explained, her green eyes not leaving Damon.

"You're.. different" he said.

"I know. You should have fought for her, master Logan isn't worth anybody's love or affection" Adena said, hatred burning in her heart.

"You don't know him, you don't judge someone you don't know" Damon corrected.

"Whatever it is that happened to him, isn't enough for him to kill and torture everyone he comes across" Adena pouted.

"He's not worth loving" she added and turned to leave.

"What's your name?" Damon asked.

She turned to look at him with her mesmerizing green eyes. Even Damon admitted that she was beautiful, extraordinarily beautiful.

"Adena, sir" she said and walked away.

Damon watched her for a couple of seconds, until she disappeared out his sight, then he went upstairs. He met Logan at the top staircase, he was listening to everything.

"That's some slave you got there!" Damon chuckled and went past him.

Logan overheard everything, and it left him wondering what kind of human being he had as a slave. She was full of surprises, and her courage was out of this world.

"She said, I don't deserve love" he mumbled to himself. He doesn't know why that statement hurt him a lot. Why is he being affected by her words these days?

Logan hated feeling this way, it was weakening.


Tyson paced to and fro in his large living room, he still hadn't gotten what he wanted. Logan was still at the top and burning his warehouse barely made a dent in his fortune. Tyson wanted nothing but to completely ruin Logan, even though he knew he had a thin chance.

Logan had the full backup of the government, and all the armed forces, it is very difficult to trap him. But Tyson didn't mind trying. Logan's father had taken everything away from his own father. He struggled to become who he was today, promising to get back at Logan.

"You" he pointed to the bodyguard standing by the front door. The smartly dressed bodyguard walked over to him and gave a little bow.

"Tell your captain, to prepare to break into Logan's mansion tonight. I want his property destroyed and burnt. I'll kill Logan by myself" he grinned.

"But sir, Logan's security is tight" the guard protested. Tyson grabbed his collar.

"I don't care, just clear out the perimeter and I'll take it from there" he said through gritted teeth and pushed the guard away.

"Sorry sir, right away sir" he bowed and walked out quickly.

💢 8:57pm 💢

"Tyson is planning an attack" Damon informed and Logan smirked. He sipped his coffee and turned to him with his other hand in his pocket.

"Are you ready?" He asked, excited.

"Ready as ever. I have men hidden along the path he'll be taking. He'll be in your custody soon" Damon answered.

Logan was impressed, he knew that Tyson would try something stupid again, so he had his men planted around Tyson's house to monitor his plans and movements. It was a smart move.

"I can't wait to see the look on that b@stard's face when I have him beg at my feet" he grins and drops his cup of coffee.

Damon's phone rang, he answered it and only uttered the word, "okay".

"Who was that?"

"Buster. They got him"

Logan grinned widely and threw his coat over his shoulder.

"Let's go" he led the way out of the room, downstairs and to the house opposite the main building.

Tyson was unable to figure out how Logan's men cornered and captured him. He was driving in his tinted car, when his car was hit from the back. He stopped to check it out and was immediately surrounded by armed men and taken hostage.

His own men had already been taken out, only few escaped alive. Logan was more powerful than he thought.

Tyson was struggling with the ropes he was tied with when the doors burst open, letting some light into the dark room. He stopped struggling and looked up to see Logan's intimidating stature staring down at him.

"You'll regret this" he whined. Logan landed a heavy punch on his face without sparing him a word.

Damon was standing behind Logan, watching from a safe distance. He felt bad, especially because of Camilla. He wondered how she would react to her brother being kidnapped and tortured.

"What'd you think? That you can continue messing around with me?" Logan questioned, giving him several more punches until he was bleeding from his nose and mouth.

"You don't know who I am. I'm going to teach you a lesson until you beg me" Logan said.

"I'll never beg you.. f*ck you!" Tyson yelled out, spitting out the blood in his mouth. Logan smirked.

He brought out his revolver and pointed it at his head.

"It'll take me absolutely nothing, to blow your motherf*cking brains out!" He said. Tyson remained still, expecting to be shot.

"But I have better plans for idiots like you" Logan added and hit him very hard on the head with the handle of the gun. Tyson passed out.

"Make sure you give him the punishment everyday, and he's not to be given any food until I say so" Logan told Damon and walked out, satisfied.

Damon went to talk to Buster while Logan went back to the main building.

💢 11:12pm 💢

As the night advanced, it got colder and windier. Logan was unable to sleep, he had a lot of tension that he needed to take out. He was thinking when Delaney entered his room unannounced.

He frowned on seeing her.

"Let this be the last time you enter my room like that" Logan warned, very sternly.

"I'm sorry" she answered, in a seductive tone. That was when Logan noticed the flimsy gown she was wearing. Her n!pples were shooting out from the see through short gown. His manhood became hard at the sight of it. This was exactly what he needed.

"I know you want me Logan.. I need you too. Come over bad boy" she winked and placed her index finger on her lips. She lay on his desk, opening her legs widely and allowing him to see her dropping wet v@gina. Logan's erection became visible.

"Come" she commanded, biting her finger and seductively moving her other hand around her b0obs. Logan stood up and walked over to her.

"I want to f*ck very badly.. but not you" he said, she was shocked.

"Adena"

Delaney literally went mad when he said that. He just chose a slave over her!!

"Why?" She asked, sitting up properly.

"Because she is sweeter" Logan whispered. He was very blunt. He said that on purpose, to get her out his hair. He had been f*cking her ever since she turned 16, and he was tired of her wide pu$sy.

Adena was young and still tight, exactly what he needed. If only he knew the trouble he was pushing Adena into with his utterances.

"Logan!!" She shrieked, tears forming at the bottom of her eyes. She had been humiliated because of a slave.

"Get out" he ordered.

She ran out of the room crying, she promised to get her revenge on Adena. Even though it was not her fault.

Logan summoned Adena who brought to him by one of the guards.

She didn't wait for him to talk before undressing and moving to the desk, expecting the worst.

Adena closed her eyes tightly when she felt Logan's manhood rub against her butt. He thrust into her, slower than he had ever done. She winced a bit, her private part was still sore. He pulled out and waited. She was surprised, could he be reacting to her pain?

He entered her again, grabbing her b0obs to support himself. He started to move, slower than ever, his eyes were closed as soft moans escaped from his lips. He caressed her n!pples and she found herself actually biting her lip in pleasure.

"F*ck" he muttered as he continued to move in and out of her. Adena hated herself for actually enjoying what he was doing. She snapped her head back, closing her eyes. The sound of his groin slapping against her butt filled the room.

He increased his pace, but when he noticed she was in pain, he slowed down again. Adena couldn't believe what was happening. Why was he being so gentle? He was paying attention to her reactions, and not whipping her.

"Turn around" he commanded after pulling out of her. Adena turned and caught glimpse of his gigantic manhood, she shuddered. No wonder it always hurt.

She stood in front of him, trembling. He picked her up and dropped her on the desk, she was sitting and facing him with her legs spread apart. She couldn't look at him.

Logan stared at her attractive lips, he has never kissed any of his slaves, hell! He had never given any of them the pleasure of facing him in this manner.

He bent over and nozzles her neck and shoulder, Adena shamelessly threw her hands over his shoulders and closed her eyes.

He thrust into her again, going faster than the first time. Adena winced and groaned as Logan enjoyed himself. His breathing matched his thrusts, his body covered in his own sweat.

Adena held his sweaty back, making small noises at intervals, trying her best not to moan or enjoy it. He was a monster and will always be, to her.

He cummed into her and backed away, picking up his robe from his bed and covering himself.

Adena got down from the desk and picked up her clothes while Logan watched. He only then, noticed how beautiful she was.

"What are you doing to me, slave?" He asked unconsciously, Adena darted her eyes towards him, confused.

"What did I do master?" She asked. He smirked.

"Go to your room" he ordered, picking up his cigar.

Adena frowned and walked out, after putting on her gown carelessly.

Adena was even more confused when she thought about what happened? Why was he being so gentle? Why did he say that? She wanted to know..



"Wakey wakey!" Antoinette giggled, walking into Adena's room. She went over to the bed and tapped Adena slightly on the arm.

"Good morning sleepy head" she greeted. Adena stretched on the bed before flickering her sensational green eyes open. She smiled when she saw Antoinette.

"Good morning" she returned the greeting and sat up properly.

"You have to freshen up quickly, we're going to the garden behind the house to pick tomatoes and some other fruits"Antoinette announced. Adena had no idea that there was a garden behind the house, she couldn't wait to see it.

"Just gimme five minutes" she answered and leaped out of bed and into the bathroom. Within minutes, she came out and threw on one of the flimsy gowns that Liliana had presented to her when she came newly.

"Let's go then" she said with enthusiasm.

Antoinette giggled, leading the way to the garden.

"Woah" Adena gasped, taking in the beauty of the backyard garden. It was breathtaking. The garden stretched over five hectares of land, with different fruits growing in an orderly arrangement.

The tomatoes, strawberries and blueberries were grown next to each other, in a beautiful arrangement. Then the taller fruit trees were opposite the little ones, oranges, pears and apples. They were also neatly organized. Adena never saw them because her room had no windows to look out from.

Between the fruits was a tiled pathway, to walk on. And the vegetables were grown at the extreme, where the pathway ends.

"I've never seen anything like it" Adena was amazed.

"I usually walk around here, whenever I'm bored. It's the best part of this whole compound" Antoinette breathed out in satisfaction.

"Indeed" Adena agreed as they walked over to where the tomatoes were. They began to pluck the riped ones while chattering happily. Adena was distracted when she heard whispers.

"Adena.. you zoned out. Is there a problem?" Antoinette asked, dropping two big tomatoes into the basket beside her.

"I heard something. I think there's someone else in here" she answered.

"Let's go check it out then" Antoinette stood up and wiped her hands on her apron. Adena also got up and they walked in the direction of the whispers.

They went past the orange trees, and ventured deeper into the orchid, until they found who it was.

"Delaney?" Antoinette mouthed, not wanting to be heard. Delaney was making a phonecall and she looked very perturbed.

"I'm sorry okay? I have been busy in the mansion, but I promise to come over soon" Delaney said to someone over the phone.

"No! No please don't do that. Don't say anything to Logan, I beg of you. I promise I'll come over"

Adena and Antoinette glanced at each other in surprise and back at Delaney.

"I promise. Please. Please don't say anything. Thank you" she hung up the call and sighed deeply, rubbing her forehead vigorously. She turned to the direction where Adena and Antoinette were hiding but they were quick to retreat. They tiptoed out of the orchid and back to the tomato bushes.

"What was that all about?" Antoinette asked.

"I don't know. But I have never seen Delaney so scared before. I wonder who it is and what she's hiding from Logan" Adena answered and sighed.

"I don't care, let's just get back to what we were doing" she added. She had taken the decision not to be interested in anything that had to do with Logan.

They continued picking their tomatoes and continued their conversation.

🤍🤍🤍

Damon had to go and pick Zoey from school and drop her off at home with the babysitter. He stopped by the mall to get Zoey a few things when he saw Camilla. His heart did skip a beat when his gaze fell on her beautiful face. He never thought he would see her again, so soon.

"Camilla" he called.

Camilla, who was reading the details on a can she picked off the shelf, lifted her face and was shocked to see Damon.

"Damon" she called.

"What are you doing here?" He asked, he felt a little guilty, that they had kidnapped her only brother.

"Isn't it obvious? I have to fend for myself now that you and your heartless boss have decided to take my brother away from me" Camilla said, trying not to cry. She was very pained. Tyson was the only family she had.

"I'm sorry Camilla. But your brother tried to attack Logan first, he planned to kill him. Should we have just let him?" Damon asked reasonably. Camilla scoffed.

"Whatever.. you're always going to support your friend anyways. Please stay away from me Damon, I don't want anything to do with a kidnapper's accomplice" Camilla snapped and walked away without giving him a second look.

Damon felt bad, he couldn't believe how much he had fallen for this woman. But she now wants nothing to do with him. The last thing he would do was to betray his friend again, so he had to accept that he had lost Camilla for good.

Logan did notice Damon's change in countenance. He knew it was because of Camilla, and he felt bad about it, but he couldn't do anything about it. Tyson had to pay for what he did.

💢 3:23pm 💢

"Take this, Logan requested that we take some food to the prisoner" Liliana said, handing a tray of soup to Antoinette. Adena was watching.

"Okay ma, but can Adena come with? Please?" She pleaded, using puppy dog eyes on her mother who smiled.

"Sure, but you better be fast before Logan comes back from his meeting" she told them.

"Thank you ma!" The girls chorus and walk out of the kitchen giggling while Liliana went back to cooking.

Adena shuddered when they entered the torture house. It brought back awful and painful memories, of when Logan had her flogged and raped. She bit her lip in spite.

They stood in front of the door, staring at the huge guard guarding it. He had to inspect the girls, to make sure they had no weapons or tools with them before letting them in.

"You can go in" he said, his voice was very deep and scary.

The girls nodded and entered the room. Tyson was still tied to his chair, his neck bent. He was bleeding from everywhere, Adena couldn't stand the sight. She shuddered, she hated to see people being tortured like this.

"Logan is such a monster" she whispered under her breath and sighed.

"Sir, please eat something" Antoinette's soothing voice rang into the semi dark room. Tyson lifted his head and groaned.

He looked at the two girls in front of him, and the food they came with. He was starving, he couldn't wait to eat.

"Untie his hands only" Antoinette motioned to Adena who moved reluctantly closer to Tyson.

Time seemed to freeze when Tyson beheld Adena's beautiful face. His eyes were glued to hers. He had never seen a more beautiful woman! She was perfect, her hair was messy, she was bruised, wearing semi rags, but she was still perfect.

"Please cooperate sir" Adena swallowed a lump in her throat before bending over to untie his hands. Tyson seized the opportunity to get a better look at her. He took in every little detail of her face, wondering how someone could be so pretty.

"What is your name?" He found himself asking.

"Huh?" Adena looked up and their eyes met. It was magical. She had to admit, he was good looking. They could feel their breaths on each other, their lips were inches apart.

Tyson wanted nothing more than to claim her lips in his and make his mark on her.. it was love at first sight, for him.

"What's your name?" He repeated.

"Um.. Adena" she answered nervously, his stares sent shivers down her spine. She felt funny, she didn't like it. She untied him quickly and stood up, moving away but Tyson's gaze never left her.

"Eat sir" Antoinette urged, placing the soup bowl on his lap. Tyson pounced on the soup and it vanished within seconds. Antoinette and Adena were amazed at the speed he ate.

"The poor man" Adena shook her head in pity. He looked at her again, in a flirty way and she blushed, playing with strands of her hair. Antoinette noticed.

After Tyson ate, they tied him back with the chains and left. Tyson kept on reminiscing about Adena, she made him smile after days of pain.

"What was that?" Antoinette asked as they were making their way back to the main house.

"What?"

"Adena, I saw the way the prisoner looked at you, and the way you reacted to it. Don't tell me, you like him?" Antoinette asked, gasping.

"Keep quiet! You're sick in the head. Why would you even think that!" She replied and rolled her eyes.

"Adena, Adena!!" Antoinette called, nudging her.

"What??" Adena blushed and ran into the house. Antoinette laughed hysterically.

It wasn't Adena's fault. The adrenaline rush she felt was unexplainable. No man has ever looked at her like that, ever!
