âMy mom was killed in an accident by your father. Instead of apologizing, he wiped all the evidences of his act and nothing could be done give justice to my mom,â Olivia revealed the truth why she wanted a revenge from Logan.
The reason why she wanted to make him suffer endlessly was because his father killed her mother.
She turned orphan at a tender age and everyone turned away their faces from her. The struggles she underwent after her momâs passing away could not be expressed in the such short time. Days would go by to hear what Olivia had gone through.
âTell everything,â Logan further said. Though it was hurtful to know how his father took someoneâs life, he couldnât neglect the fact that Olivia made him suffer when he knew nothing.
âI decided to approach you when you were in the high school. I needed to make sure the son of Tobias would suffer hell while being alive. I faked the friendship with you and everything that I could to win over you, Strangely, you fell in love with me. That was when I decided it was the time to leave your life.
Your parents death gave you trauma and I decided to plan my own death.â Olivia kept narrating him the truth, which Logan was dying to know for a while.
I âSeeing you suffer was the best tribute for my mother. However, then one day I read the article saying how Logan Moore celebrated his birthday and credited Hope for bringing happiness to him. I decided to return and destroy you once again,â Olivia affirmed. The hatred in her eyes, which Logan could never see before was suddenly visible.
Logan let go of her face as he learned the truth from her. She tumbled to the floor while Logan stood straight on his feet.
âYou should have killed me rather than making me suffer like this,â Logan muttered.
âNo. That would be an easy punishment for you, Logan. What Tobias Moore did was unforgivable.
Because he died earlier, you needed to pay for his sins. The reason why Hope had to die was because of you. You are the reason of her upcoming miseries. You will never stay happy, Logan. You owe the life of my mother and thatâs why I will kill you now,â Olivia stated and a dagger appeared in her hand with her magic.
As Olivia prepared to plunge the dagger into Loganâs heart, someone seized her hand. It wasnât Logan, but Henry Moore. Oliviaâs eyes gleamed with intent as she tried to exert control over Henry, but he averted his gaze. For Henry, Olivia was too powerful to handle as he shouted at Logan to help him.
However, Logan was suddenly out of the space.
055% 11.02 Emergency calls onlyDOR In that moment, Hopeâs two aunts, Fleur and Ravina, arrived. Fleur used her magical powers to push Olivia against the wall, while Ravina swiftly seized the dagger from Oliviaâs grasp as it flew towards her.
Caspian and Alaric rushed in as William gave them the way. They both held Oliviaâs arms while Edmund quickly covered her eyes. Henry turned to look at Logan and shook him.
âLogan, come to your senses and now, find Hope,â Henry said.
Olivia kept screaming and thrashing her legs, not wanting to be taken away.
âLock her in the dungeon. Fred, show the dungeon to them,â William ordered.
Fred promptly obeyed his grandfatherâs orders and instructed Hopeâs uncles to follow him. They escorted Hope out of the room while the rest of the family members tended to Logan.
âDid Grandpa know that Dad killed Oliviaâs mother in an accident?â Logan questioned, his gaze fixed on his grandfather.
âTobias never spoke of such an incident to anyone,â replied Samuel, Loganâs uncle.
âNo, Dad must have informed Grandpa,â Logan insisted.
âI had no knowledge of this,â William declared. âHad I known, I would have turned Tobias over to the authorities myself. Do you doubt me? Have you ever witnessed me acting unjustly towards anyone?â
His tone bordered on a reprimand. William was hurt, which was evident in his words as Loganâs lack of trust wounded him deeply.
However, he understood that Logan was too devastated to find that Olivia hated him to the extent that she only wished for his sufferings. She again returned with a motive to suffer him for the crime he never committed.
Logan ran his fingers through his hair and he went out of the room, without speaking with anyone.
âGrandpa, Iâll go behind him,â Henry said.
âYes,â William allowed him.
Logan rushed upstairs, took the car keys and went straight out of the house. He was about to step into his car when Henry closed the door and asked Logan to explain his stance.
âDid you make a fool of us to catch Olivia?â Henry had caught his plan.
Emergency calls only âI need to find Hope. She is nowhere to be found,â Logan stated.
055% 11.02 âWhy did you even ask her to leave like this? Shouldnât you answer that first?â Henry questioned him.
Logan grabbed him by his collars and pinned him to the carâs door. âIf you were a caring brother, then you would have told me the truth that Olivia had returned. Instead, you slept with her. You could have trusted me once? Do you love being the chairman that much? You can have that title then because I donât care about it anymore,â he pronounced and pushed Henry off his sight.
Logan entered the car and drove out as fast as he could. While driving he tried to communicate with Hope through the mind link between them, but he couldnât make that connection.
âWhy is it happening?â Logan muttered.
âOur mate is hurt because of what you said to her a day before your discharge. I told you to kill Olivia right away,â Leo complained.
âYou know that Olivia would have hurt Hope in my absence. I couldnât afford that. I will search every place to bring Hope back,â Logan stated while not losing the hope of having his mate back. His life was a mess. A few days back everything was going so well, he felt like he was the happiest man on this earth and the next second, everything changed.
He had lost Hope, his idolâhis father, and the belief in his own happiness. There lingered a fear in Loganâs heart that Hope might never return to him. Yet, until his last breath, he vowed to seek her out.
He would plead for her forgiveness, but he would not let her slip away again.
His Lycan, Leo, was upset too. The connection from Hope he had lost suddenly. But more than that he was feeling a heart ache and a loss of strength. Absence of Hope from their life had already started impacting them.
Logan put on the earbud as his phone rang.
âPaul, did you find anything about Hope?â he asked.
âNo. But I have found something else,â Paul stated.
âWhat is it?â Logan asked.
âHope has left the city. Forgive me for not searching her uncleâs house. She had come here last night for some money,â Paul stated.
Emergency calls onlyâ¦
âWhat? Where did she go?â Logan questioned.
âThey have no idea. Hope didnât tell him,â Paul replied.
Logan stopped responding from the other side as Paul kept asking him.
âHope, donât leave me,â Logan murmured.
