Adena managed to put on her clothes and walk outside. She was only barely able to walk. The pain she felt was unbearable. The huge man that brought her in was already waiting for her outside Logan's room. He grabbed her by the wrist again and started pulling her along with him, down the stairs.
They came by another hallway, it was darker down here and even more eery. Adena shivered and winced painfully as the man continued to pull her along like an animal, until they got to the room at the end of the hallway.
He kicked the room door open, revealing a poorly ventilated and dirty room. The bed was small and had a white bedsheet spread over it. The little window in it looked like it hasn't been opened for years. Adena also noticed blood stains on some parts of the wall.
Fear engulfed her at that moment. Could these people be killers too?
"You are not to leave this room unless you're permitted. Understood?" The huge man barked at her and she nodded, curling herself up on the bed.
"Good" he said and banged the door shut.
Adena felt her life slipping away with every second that passed. She has always wondered what would happen after her stay at the boarding school. Well, now she has found out, and she's losing all hope.
She cried in a muffled voice. She hated her life, she hated her uncle for selling her when she was just 13, and she hated Logan for taking away her dignity without pity. She hated him so much.
A soft knock came on the door before it slowly opened. A woman in her late 50s entered with a plate of food and water on a tray. She looked at Adena on the bed and shook her head.
Liliana was in charge of looking after Logan's slaves. She was to feed them and attend to their health issues. Overall, Liliana was a kind woman, she was caring and loving. She hated what Logan did to his slaves but she also knew what Logan was passing through.
Liliana has been with Logan ever since he was 10 years old, as his nanny. After his childhood was scarred, Logan changed into the beast he is today. Liliana watched her sweet boy change into a ruthless man that kills people. She still had hope that he would be fine one day.
"Adena" she called softly, her voice as sweet as the early morning spring breeze on bare skin.
"Dear, I brought your food" she said but Adena remained quiet, sobbing on the bed.
"Please, you have to eat something. You have to regain your strength" Liliana said.
"And then he can drain me again huh?" Adena fired. She sat up on the bed and dried her tears with the back of her palm.
"I won't eat anything from you people. You're all monsters. Just let me die" she said, sniffing.
"Don't say that dear" Liliana said. She dropped the tray on the small locker next to the bed and went to sit beside Adena.
"We are not all bad people. I admit you have been mistreated but you are strong, I know you can pull through" she said but Adena chuckled.
"Pull through? Is that after I die? How can you people watch that ruthless man rape girls and do nothing about it?" Adena asked, looking her straight in the eyes.
"If only anyone could stop him. Logan rules over the government. Nobody can stop him, nobody" Liliana explained and Adena felt another shock.
She realized that she was truly doomed.
"Just eat your food and regain strength. Who knows, you might be the one to end this once and for all" Liliana said and left the room. Adena fell back into the bed and wept.
"How is she? The new.. um.. slave?" Antoinette, Liliana's daughter asked when she entered the kitchen.
Antoinette was as sweet as her mother, gentle and a beautiful soul. The only reason Logan didn't make her his slave was because she was Liliana's daughter. Liliana is the only woman he honestly respects, she took care of him.
"She's a very lovely girl, she doesn't deserve this. I have honestly not seen any slave with so much fire in them like her. I wish Logan wouldn't be so harsh on her" Liliana sighed.
"But mom, have you tried talking Logan out of this?" Antoinette asked.
"Of course I've tried! He doesn't listen to me anymore. He does whatever he wants. He is the alpha male!" Liliana said and groaned.
"Just get back to doing the dishes, so that we can go to bed. It's late" she added and left the kitchen while Antoinette continued washing the dishes.
Next Morning
Logan was sitting at his desk, signing some papers, documents that would be going to the government. Then a knock came on his door.
"Who is it?" He growled.
"Damon" a deep voice came.
"Come in" he ordered and the door flung open.
"Hey.. are you done with those documents yet? I have to deliver them this morning" Damon said, walking over to the desk.
"I'm almost done" Logan answered.
Damon was Logan's right hand man, his closest friend and the second person he trusts the most, after Liliana.
Damon was also very hot and good looking. He was brunette with black eyes. And a lady's man. He was known to be a playboy but he wasn't as brutal as his friend, Logan.
"Okay cool. I'll be waiting downstairs. Meanwhile, you have a visitor" Damon announced.
"Who?"
"Delaney"
"What?" Logan looked up for the first time since Damon entered the room.
"What is she doing here?" He asked.
"To see you if course. She's your fiancee" Damon sounded it as a reminder. Logan looked exasperated.
Delaney was the daughter to Logan's father's only friend. They were betrothed at birth and Logan promised his late father that he would marry her. But the only thing Delaney was good for, was satisfying him in bed. Apart from that, he didn't need her in any way.
"Chill man. She'll be up in a minute" Damon grinned and left the room.
Logan quickly signed all the documents and sent for one of his bodyguards to give them to Damon. He wore his robe and was about to leave the room in a hurry when she showed up at his door.
"Going somewhere?" Delaney asked, a sinister grin on her face.
She was a pretty girl, innocent looking.. but her past was a mess and her innocence is long gone.
Delaney was blonde and beautiful.. with a seductive body that most men couldn't resist.. including Logan the s3x god.
"Delaney.. you're here?" He asked, coldly, pretending that he wasn't aware of her presence.
Most people would think that he's afraid of her, but Logan feared no one. He was avoiding long discussions about marriage. He didn't want to talk about getting married to her. He could easily kill her and end everything but he made a promise to his father…
"You can't leave just yet.. allow me to take care of you this morning" she said, biting her lower lip. She walked towards him seductively and took off her blue robe, revealing her s3xy lingerie.
"I don't have time for this Delaney" Logan said.
"Since when do you not have time to make me scream your name in pleasure?" She asked, grabbing his manhood through his pants and squeezing it gently.
Logan felt himself getting turned on.
"Delaney, I have important business to attend to. I'll see you when I get back" he said but Delaney wasn't ready to quit.
"I'm all yours Logan.. make me beg you.. make me scream until you're satisfied" she said, getting on his desk and spreading her legs wide open.
Logan has never let any woman get on his bed. Not even his betrothed, Delaney.
Logan couldn't take it anymore, he got rid of his pants and rushed at Delaney like a hungry wolf. He pounded her hard until her screams could be heard everywhere in the quiet mansion.
"I love you Logan" Delaney confessed, breathing heavily.
"I have to go. Clean up this place and leave" he ordered and left without turning back.
"Oh Logan.. you have no idea how much I love you. I know you don't want anything to do with me, you just don't want to break the promise you made to your father" Delaney paused and chuckled.
"Well don't worry, I'll make you fall in love with me and only me. Because you belong to me. I will use the promise you made to your father against you and make you mine forever" she said and wore her robe.
She left his room and went downstairs. She met Antoinette with a plate of food, heading towards the second hallway and stopped her.
"Where are you taking that to?" She asked.
"Good morning mistress" Antoinette bowed.
"I'm taking it to the master's slave" she said.
"I didn't know Logan got a new slave" she said.
"You may go"
Delaney wanted to find out who this new slave was so she quietly followed Antoinette. When the door opened, she was shocked to see the slave.
Delaney didn't know why she was feeling threatened by the stunning lady she saw. She was very beautiful, more than the other slaves, more than her..
Logan entered the compound in his car and walked out of it completely mad. He stormed into the room with so much anger and nobody dared to stand in his way whenever he was this angry. Damon slowly followed him to his room without uttering a word.Today was a very bad day. Logan never gets turned down. But today, some business man had the guts to turn his business proposal down because it wasn't resourceful enough?"Damon! Who the hell does that man think he is to turn down my proposal? Does he even know who he's dealing with?" Logan paced the room in anger but Damon refused to say anything.Talking to him at this point is like pouring water on a rock. He will still go ahead and do what is on his mind."I want information on that man. I want his address right now!" Logan roared. "Damon! I am talking to you!!" He turned to Damon who was just staring at him."I'm sorry for being quiet, I just don't know what to say" Damon answered honestly."Just get me that damned man's address!" He or
Delaney was furious that Logan had the guts to slap her in front of his bodyguards, thus, belittling her. She wasn't going to take it at all. She had to remind him of her position in his life. So first thing the next morning, she went to his room."Who is there?" Logan questioned when several knocks landed on his door. "Delaney" she answered. Logan groaned.When will this woman let him be.. he thought."Come in" he said. He had calmed down from the past day's experience and although he wasn't in the mood to talk, he still had to listen to whatever Delaney had to say."My lord" Delaney greeted with a bow, going in to meet him. Logan was sitting shirtless on his bed, his amazing body glittering in the early morning sun. Delaney couldn't help but drool."Are you just going to stand there and drool over me or will you tell me why you have come to disturb me this early morning?" Logan asked, running his fingers through his hair.Delaney frowned."That's it Logan! Everything I do seems t
"Logan, I have been trying to talk to you. What you're doing to Adena is not fair. She's not an animal, she's a child. You are being cruel to her" Liliana complained to Logan. She stared at him with tears in her eyes but Logan didn't show any atom of sympathy."Look Liliana, I respect you a lot you know that and I won't raise my voice at you. But Adena is my slave, I bought her with my hard earned money and she is supposed to obey me, if she goes against me, she'll be punished" he said in his husky tone."But Logan..""Liliana. I don't want to talk about this again. I have a conference party to attend right now. So excuse me" He said and walked away after grabbing his coat.Liliana wept at what her beloved son had turned into. Even though she wasn't his biological mother, she still loved him like a son. He used to be the nicest boy in the world, but now.. he doesn't care about anything or anyone. Logan got into the car with Damon and they drove off to the party. It was the birthday
Damon stood on the balcony, staring down at the fountain in the middle of the compound. But his thoughts were somewhere else, he found himself thinking about Camilla. The beautiful woman who had given him a challenge."Don't sleep with a woman for a week" she said. But he scoffed."There's no way I'm going to stop what I do best because of her" he tried to convince himself. He had sworn never to have anything to do with love, that was way back when his first elder brother was murdered by his wife. He abhorred love and anything that had to do with.But now, what was happening to him? Why couldn't he stop thinking about this woman. Has she cast a spell on him? Her beautiful smile had somehow left a mark on him.He tried, he tried to get rid of her face which has been plastered on his mind, but nothing worked."Damon!" Logan had to yell. He has been calling him for a few seconds now and he didn't hear."You called me?" He rushed into the room to meet Logan, who was still in his robe."I
CHAPTER 8Adena 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
"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
"I heard that master's warehouse was burnt last night" Antoinette said to Adena and she scoffed."Serves him right.. he deserves every pain he must be feeling right now" Adena answered, she had developed an intense hatred for Logan and wished to see his downfall.Antoinette sighed.She had come to give Adena some food and also offered to braid Adena's big red hair. "You know, he wasn't always this cruel. Back when we were kids, he used to be such a sweet boy, but I don't know what made him to change.." Antoinette said."Still doesn't give him the right to treat anyone the way he does" Adena maintained."You're right.. it doesn't". Antoinette continued braiding Adena's hair and they talked about other things. 9:00am Camilla entered her car with two men, they were assigned to her to guard her by her brother, Tyson. They were heading to the office that morning when they were cornered by a black jeep."Get down!!" The men in mask yelled, firing gunshots into the air. Camilla and her un
Logan stared at the blank pistol in his hand and fumed. He never thought for once, that he would use it on the very person he trusted the most. He groaned and tucked it inside the pocket in his jacket.He left immediately with Buster and some other men. Logan had made it a mission to track down and kill two of his enemies, Damon and Tyson. He wasn't going to spare any of them. They had each hurt him in different ways, and they would pay for it.Logan arrived in New Jersey with his men and they searched tirelessly for Damon. Logan knew that Damon had no other place to run to, he would only come to New Jersey where Damon's father had a penthouse.But he had no idea where the penthouse was, so he resorted to searching every nook and cranny."Master.. the search has been unsuccessful, I'm afraid. It's already mid day" Buster reported after hours of fruitless searching."I don't care how long it will take, whether days or weeks. I just want that backstabber to be found and brought to me" Lo
