His Toxic Addiction
Chapter 70: The audacity.

Chapter 70: The audacity.

"How dare you?" Alfred barked at Logan, "Do you know what you are doing?" Alfred yelled.

Logan’s eyes darkened with Alfred’s indirect insult to him, "I have been dreaming of this all my life so, yes. I know what I am doing," Logan answered.

"You_" and as if Alfred had spoken too much, Logan tightened his hand around Alfred’s neck and lifted him three centimeters off the floor.

All air was knocked out of Alfred’s lungs as Logan tightened his hand around his neck. What the hell? Has Logan forgotten who Alfred was?

Alfred raised his hand to Logan’s hands and tried to release his neck, but the hand only tightened around his neck. Alfred’s eyes shone with horror.

All the veins stretched out, showing themselves on Alfred’s forehead. His veins popped out as his eyes and face turned red, with survival instincts.

"I’m going to kill you, Logan," Alfred declared, through gritted teeth as he saw life slipping off him. Where are those useless guards of his?

He had no time to fight back because right now, in the next minute, he would die if this continues and he can’t risk it. He still has his company to take care of.

Logan chuckled, "You talk too much Alfred. Why don’t you just do it?" he tutted with a maniacal look on his face and this was enough to make the proud and untouchable Alfred scard.

Alfred’s pride flushed out of his eyes in a second. Logan would end him today. Unbelievable

He nurtured Logan. How would Logan do this to him?

He would come back for Logan. Even if he does today, he would come back for Logan and_

Thud!

Alfred’s body landed on the floor with a painful drop. Just when he thought he would die, he was released. He drew in a full drum of air as he held his neck, rubbing on the sore spot.

Logan looked at the figure on the floor. The feeling was blissful because never had he - Logan thought he would see Alfred on the floor before him this way.

He does not plan to kill Alfred. At least, not today.

Killing him today would attract attention and he never planned to do this today but this man just made him a fool again. Thrice.

Regaining himself, Alfred yelled with fury, "You son of a_"

"Shhuu," Logan cut him off and signaled him to stop talking with a hand on his lips. "No more speeches. You have been doing the talking. I guess it’s now my turn,"

Seeing the way Alfred’s eyes were on the door, "I made sure to take away all obstacles before coming in here. I’m not stupid you know?" Logan forwarded, seeing that Alfred might be wondering where his dogs of guards are at.

The event tonight was the only thing stopping him from killing Alfred. His anger down here was still increasing.

"I want to see you at my domain tomorrow_"

Alfred cut in, "What made you think you can boss me around? Are you worth it?"

Logan scoffed. The guts of this man!

Logan did not negotiate but instead, he set his time frame, "2 pm,"

’The audacity,’ Alfred thought.

The boy is no longer useful but now a burden so, why does he not just end him? And with that thought, he tried to pick up the flower vase and attack Logan unaware. The boy has irked him to the point that his thinking was now rational.

"Don’t do things that would make me end everyone you have ever cared for," Logan warned, suspecting Alfead’s next move.

Alfred chuckled when he heard that stupid threat. He cares about no one.

Logan scoffed as he turned around and meet Alfred’s nonchalant expression, "When I said people you care about, your mother wasn’t exempted," Logan warned seeing Alfred’s hand about to raise the flower vase. It was an open challenge.

Alfred’s hand froze hearing Logan and then, he chuckled.

"You son of the mud. You don’t even know my mother. So, what have you the authority to threaten and hold me up on my neck tonight?"

Logan paused and fishing out his cellphone, a video of an old lady surfaced. She was unconscious, wet, and gagged.

"I guess I don’t," Logan said as he turned the phone to Alfred to catch a glimpse of his mother’s new state.

Alfred stiffened. Even Laura has never seen his mother. He knows how he had ended families so, he did his best to ensure her safety and hide her far away so how did...his eyes meet with Logan’s eyes.

Logan smirked. Even if Alfred tries to deny it, he - Logan had already seen all emotions through his eyes so, denying was useless.

"2 pm," he announced to the shocked Alfred and walked out of the bathroom. After making sure that the pink-haired girl was all dressed with her tears over, Logan left the room with her even if it wasn’t her wish.

...

Arissa finally took her eyes off her ceiling when her phone beeped. She glanced at the caller’s unknown ID and without wasting a second, she pressed the answer bottom. "Mr. Adams?"

"The layers covering the family you want me to investigate are in thousands. I suggest you give me twenty-four hours. I would get the information across to you by then,"

"Don’t worry. I give you forty-eight hours but for now, I would love to see images of the lady,"

"Okay," And then, the call was ended. Just like that - straightforward and short.

It had to be like that because the auction was still on and Mr Adams was risking it all to give her a phone call.

And then, in seconds, fifteen pictures popped into her phone and Arissa could not help but feel chills around her body with the striking resemblance the couples have with Adele.

The woman was more glaring at the resemblance. While for the man, Adele took his nose and lips.

Dropping her phone on the bed, she drew in a deep breath. How would these couples feel if she tell them their daughter was just at the corner?

Would they feel thrilled or try to use her off for money just like her parents?

Or were they even concerned about their daughter or whoever Adele might be to them?

Arissa sat up on her bed. Giving Blu. a short all-through body scan, she stood from her bed and to her window.

Her mind still wandering towards every fucking thing happening in her life right now, and she slumped on her couch.

It would be utterly foolish to end her life now if not, death or sucide seems to be the only way out of all of this mess because with each second, more revelations that push her to the rim of death’s surface.
