Chapter 169: His Sacrifices.

Logan cursed at the storm as he drove to Laura’s base. He was infuriated to death trying to believe all he found out for himself today.

He should have known she was smart. He had always underestimated her. To him, she was a housewife only good in bed but right now, she was giving him every reason why he should take his thoughts back.

He had thought Alfred was the smartest ass in the game of business but that scumbag was a dumb idiot who only knows how to kill an upcoming business tycoon.

Logan could still remember how his family was killed before him. He could detail the next person about it as if it happened a minute ago. That was how deep the scar Alfred left on him was.

After surviving the from the claws of Alfred that day, he stayed far away and hidden while he watched the man carefully from afar.

When Alfred killed his family, he - Alfred - was also starting in the business world but he was very promising as his last name alone meant success and you could imagine the number of smaller companies that would want to partner with him.

And Mr. Paul, Logan’s father was among those aspiring persons who dreamt big in the business world. Logan could still remember his father’s sweat and how the man strived and pushed himself roughly to produce a scratch hole as a company. It wasn’t easy but still, he consulted Alfred and signed a partnership with him which led to his death.

Day and night, his survival was a blessing whenever he remembers his father’s lifeless eyes staring directly at him and his sister’s screams from pure torture as Alfred’s men assaulted all holes in her over and over again as all ten of them took turns in her roughly while his parents laid dead on the floor.

Why didn’t he do anything? What could a ten years old bedridden kid possibly do? And that was why he waited before plotting revenge on Lincoln. He gave up a big sacrifice for all of these. He was just lucky to be under the staircase at that moment with a stucked wheelchair.

He gave up his innocence, his pure heart, and...his legs to avenge his family and Laura can’t possibly make all of those things go in vain.

Finally, he got to the hidden base. Not miming the heavy storm, he climbed down from his car the moment he drove in.

All drenched and socked, he located Laura’s prison with one goal in his mind - get the location and end her right there. He can’t let her live further, she have already shown herself to him and he could already imagine her causing more troubles.

Standing by the door, he started at her innocent features that had fooled Alfred - no, that had fooled them all.

If not for the fact he placed a sudden deep attention on her, he also would have been led on by her facade without knowing the real her.

Opening the iron bars door roughly, he drew her off her slumber and stared at her with much hatred. He could not still believe that even behind bars she was still operating and was just a breath away from ruining all he had worked for.

What would have happened if he had known this later on?

Laura’s brown eyes were forced to open from the noise and the moment she met with Logan’s chilly ones, the hairs on her body stood erect.

"What_"

Logan eyed her as he tried not to shoot her dead at that moment. What made everything more surprising was that she still looked pitiful to him even after all he had under covered about her.

"Where did you hide the company money? " he cut her off with brewing anger slipping off each letter he let out. She was with him, locked in his base but still had all asset to the company money as she kept on embezzling every penny from the company. Even the money got from selling their daughter off was being extracted by her.

It left him dumbfounded how she did all these under the almighty Alfred nose.

Laura furrowed her brows and stared at him amusingly, "What company?" she asked, because if memory serves her right, he has nothing to do with the Lincoln company so, asking like he has a share in it was comical to her. She tried her hardest not to laugh.

The cleaners who cleaned her every morning gave her a tale or two about him to keep herself safe so laughing before him was equal to courting death and she won’t want to experience what he would do to her if she laughs at his angered face.

Logan fumed, "I ask you one last time, Laura, where did you keep the money?" he asked her again playing with the gun on his waistband as the pull to put a bullet through her head was strong but he couldn’t.

He still has to know where she kept the money. He had planned to end her the moment he find Mr. Adams but he wasn’t sure she would leave a second more once he know where she packed all the money to.

And dumb Alfred, how could he not know his wife was the cause of his company’s downfall? How wasn’t he able to know she kept on embezzling his money? And the fact she sold her daughter off to another family like the girl was nothing for the company she held at her palm, Logan feared her a bit as he wondered what kind of woman she was.

He would not have believed she was this cunning and evil. He never planned to include her in all of this madness as he only needed Alfred and Arissa but after holding Alfred down, her true self unfold before him.

After all, he had seen on this earth, he had never seen a cunning pretender like her. If she could set her daughter up that way and still act like she wasn’t the mastermind of all of it, how much more could she do?

"Why?" Laura tutted, "Why are you asking me this? Or are you scared to face Alfred?" she asked mockingly while her heart beat loudly inside her. What warrant this question and how did he know about this?

Logan did not say anything. Rather, his dark eyes left hers and went down to his pant. Lifting his pant an inch off his feet, a sudden gasp escaped Laura’s lips from what she saw.

Her brown eyes were now filled with questions and worst still, fear. Her heartbeat fastened as goosebumps spread around her skin.

Her gaze left his legs and went to his face, "You_you don’t have legs?" her voice was shaken as she questioned him.

Logan nodded, "And that is exactly what would happen to you in the next five seconds if you don’t tell me where you hid the company money," he assured her before hiding his artificial legs and cold sweats broke out of Laura.
