Logan sipped the alcohol and lowered the glass. After making sure Hope was asleep, Logan came to the garden. He was unableto 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 usually late,” Paul stated. “I’ve gotten the CCTV footage. There was nothing suspicious. No one went to the topfloor,” 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 blame myself for this accident. I’m worried about the future. You know how much I’ve already suffered. | don’t wish to losemy wife,” Logan asserted, expressing his deeper thoughts to his only friend.

“Why don’t you take a day off tomorrow?” Paul suggested to him.
“| cannot. | am already delayed with schedule. Even Hope doesn’t wish to take a leave,” Logan clarified to him.

In the morning, Hope was the first one to wake up from the sleep first. She smelled alcohol from Logan and knitted her browstogether. “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 upthe blanket. 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, Camila asked her about her health..
“Oh, I’m fine, Aunt,” Hope said.
“Master Logan isn’t awake yet?” Camila inquired.
“No. | think he slept late yesterday.” Hope asserted. After getting the smell of alcohol from him, she realized he was awoke tilllate 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 accident,” Camila toldher. “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 overcome his fears. Perhaps Logan needed to be me ntally sostrong that he would not get negative thoughts after every single accident 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 moreworried,” she explained to her.
“First two incidents occurred because of me. And this elevator one was just an accident, | believe. Logan needs to understandthat 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.” Camila 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 sureyour 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 hisneck 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 simplework | gave you, but you failed in that. Someday you'll be found and then,” he paused, glaring into the man’s eyes. “I will becaught.”
“| will never be caught, Sir. I'll leave this country. Please forgive me this time and spare my life,” the man pleaded and brought hishands together to join them.
Suddenly, blood spurted out from his neck and the drops covered Henry's claws, a few of the drops fell on his face too.
The man lay on the ground in the pool of blood while Henry stared at its dying body. “Only death is the solution for this,” Henrysaid 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 thewashroom. He washed himself up and changed into a cleaner set of clothes.
He then left in his car for the company. Applying the brakes on his car, the chauffeur opened the door for him. Henry stepped outand 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?” heasked.
“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.

“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 exclaimed 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 advisedher.
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’tknow 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 Loganinterrupted him. She found them discussing the proposal.
As soon as they reached the office, Hope placed her bag over her chair. “Did Henry do something to you?” She turned aroundwhile crossing her arms across her chest.

“Because you stopped Paul from telling me something,” Hope affirmed. Her eyes remained fixated on him as if she demandedan answer from him..
