Chapter 74
Logan sipped the alcohol and lowered the ss. After making sure Hope was asleep, Logan came to the garden. He was unable
to take even a blink of sleep after what happened.
“Why aren’t you in bed?” Paul sat across from him on the chair.
“| couldn’t sleep,” Logan replied. “What about you?” he asked.
“| go to bed usuallyte,” Paul stated. “I’ve gotten the CCTV footage. There was nothing suspicious. No one went to the top
floor,” he briefed him and checked on the alcohol bottle. “It’s not good to drink when you have an important meeting tomorrow,”
he pronounced.
“You know that | can hand liquor well,” Logan remarked, his eyes suddenly glowing.
“Yep, | know.”
“| don’t me myself for this ident. I’m worried about the future. You know how much I’ve already suffered. | don’t wish to lose
my wife,” Logan asserted, expressing his deeper thoughts to his only friend.
Paul hummed in response. “Times are different now. Hope is your fated one and also your chosen one. | remember with Olivia
your bond was strong, but it was nothingpared to the bond you have with Hope,” he stated. As a friend and his well-wisher,
Paul had observed this right after he signed a contract with her,
m aware of this,” Logan admitted and sipped thest sip of the alcohol. He ced the ss on the table and leaned back.
“She has be my life. Even if Hope gets a single scratch, it pains me,” he pronounced.
Paul smiled to hear him. After a long time, Logan was openly talking about his rtionship with him, or else, he used to stay
quiet.
“Why don’t you take a day off tomorrow?” Paul suggested to him.
“| cannot. | am already dyed with schedule. Even Hope doesn’t wish to take a leave,” Logan rified to him.
“Alright. Then, you should now go to bed. It is veryte,” Paul affirmed and stood up. Logan listened to his friend and they both
headed inside. While Paul went to the guest room, Logan went upstairs to his bedroom.
Hope was peacefully sleeping, which brought a warm smile on his face. He closed the lights from the panel and lie beside her. In
her sleep, Hope snuggled close to him. Thus, her warm embrace made him sleep too.
In the morning, Hope was the first one to wake up from the sleep first. She smelled alcohol from Logan and knitted her brows
together. “Did he drink?” she thought and sat upright.
Caressing the locks of his hair, Hope pondered if Logan was in stress. Logan turned his head to the other side as he pulled up
the nket. Hope let him sleep and quietly moved out of bed.
She was quick in getting ready after taking a shower. As she headed to the kitchen, Cam asked her about her health..
“Oh, I’m fine, Aunt,” Hope said.
“Master Logan isn’t awake yet?” Cam inquired.
“No. | think he sleptte yesterday.” Hope asserted. After getting the smell of alcohol from him, she realized he was awoke till
late and had drinks before getting into bed.
“Master Logan was quite worried for you yesterday. His voice was trembling when he called me after the ident,” Cam told
her. “Hope, he has fallen in love with you. deeply. However, his fears sometimes make him feel too low,” she opined.
Hope nodded in agreement. She was trying to find out how to ovee his fears. Perhaps Logan needed to be me ntally so
strong that he would not get negative thoughts after every single ident she had till now. But it was not easy to do so.
“I think | need to work hard on that factor,” she murmured.
“You are already doing that. But you were targetted for these recent attacks somehow. That’s why Master Logan is more
worried,” she exined to her.
“First two incidents urred because of me. And this elevator one was just an ident, | believe. Logan needs to understand
that such things happen in life,” Hope stated. “I don’t want to see him stressed all the time because of me,” she confidently said.
“| pray you do.” Cam smiled and patted Hope’s arm.
“Sir, Clifton is searching the reasons for the elevator sudden breakage. What should | do?” asked a man with his head low.
“You cannot get caught. So, of course, you''ve to leave the city,” Henry pronounced and leaned forward on his seat. “Make sure
your scent doesn’t make him follow you,” he
stated.
“| understand,” the man stood up and turned to leave when Henry suddenly appeared in front of him. His hand tightly held his
neck as his nails grew bigger.
“| told you not to make mistakes, Henry growled, his eyes gleaming bluish as the anger coursed through his vein. “One simple
work | gave you, but you failed in that. Someday you''ll be found and then,” he paused, ring into the man’s eyes. “I will be
caught.”
“| will never be caught, Sir. I''ll leave this country. Please forgive me this time and spare my life,” the man pleaded and brought his
hands together to join them.
Suddenly, blood spurted out from his neck and the drops covered Henry''s ws, a few of the drops fell on his face too.
The many on the ground in the pool of blood while Henry stared at its dying body. “Only death is the solution for this,” Henry
said with an intimidating gaze.
He wiped his hand with the handkerchief and threw it on the ground. “Clean this mess.” Henry instructed and went ahead to the
washroom. He washed himself up and changed into a cleaner set of clothes.
He then left in his car for thepany. Applying the brakes on his car, the chauffeur opened the door for him. Henry stepped out
and gave him the keys.
The employees greeted him and he walked in. As he reached the second VIP elevator, his eyes fell upon both Logan and Hope.
“Hi, Henry,” Hope spotted him and greeted him.
Carrying a concerned expression on his face, Henry inquired, “Are you two well? | came to the hospital as soon as | found out,
but you were not there.”
“Yeah, we left for home after Hope regained her consciousness, Logan replied. “You didn’t tell anything to Grandpa, right?” he
asked.
“Nothing. But | don’t think it will remain hidden from him for a long time, Henry replied.
“Hmm. I''ll tell him soon,” Logan stated.
“Oh, your hand is wounded. Shouldn’t you have taken a rest at home?” Henry again. pretended to be worried for Logan.
“It''s not a major wound. It will heal soon,” Logan said.
“| hope it does,” Henry stated.
Logan entered into the elevator, followed by Hope and Paul. “Take the other one,” he told Henry and the elevator’s doors closed.
“Why didn’t you let him in?” Hope confusedly inquired.

“Did you find him strange, Paul?” Logan ignored his wife’s question.
“Yep. He isn’t the typical Henry we know,” Paul replied.
“What do you mean? Isn’t Henry like that?” Hope was puzzled.
“He is evil,” Logan answered.
“What?” Hope eximed in shock.
“Henry doesn’t care for anybody, except for him. He asked about us, which means something is odd.” Logan affirmed.
“| think you are mistaken him.” Hope murmured.

“I''ve grown up with him, so | know what kind of man he is. Also, stay away from him. You don’t need to greet him.” Logan advised
her.
Paul agreed with his friend’s words of wisdom. “Henry is cu nning. Hope. He wasn’t worried at all for you and Logan. You don’t
know what he used to-” He was interrupted as Logan cleared his throat.
“You didn’t discuss with me about the proposal we sent to S&K Labs,’ Logan changed the topic of their conversation.
Hope sensed that Logan intentionally did that. Paul had almost shared something crucial about Henry to him, but Logan
interrupted him. She found them discussing the proposal.
As soon as they reached the office, Hope ced her bag over her chair. “Did Henry do something to you?” She turned around
while crossing her arms across her chest.
“Why are we talking about him suddenly?” Logan asked as he sat on the swivel chair.
“Because you stopped Paul from telling me something,” Hope affirmed. Her eyes remained fixated on him as if she demanded
an answer from him..
“| told you he has always seen me as his rival and enemy. | am the Lycan Prince while he not. When | lost my parents, | wasn’t in
a state to do anything. But Henry created troubles for me and made me feel empty,” Logan confided in her. However, he didn’t
tell her a lot of things that happened between him and Henry.
Hope now understood why he refuted to shift to his grandfather’s home. Henry was there, who once caused Logan to feel
pathetic in every possible way.
