Michael POV
Today is the court date for Logan’s trial, and I will finally announce to the world that we are together and get him out of this entire situation. I have to say that I am scared, I’ve never been so scared in my life, but I have to do this; otherwise Logan will never have his life back, and he will be condemned.
I keep trying to ring Elisabeth and Logan, but none of them answers their phone. I have been waiting in court with the lawyers for about half-hour and nothing of them. I sent my new driver to pick them up, but he’s not answering his phone either.
The lawyers are trying to get everything delayed until Logan gets here, but I don’t know if they will be able to. Lee’s lawyer is pushing the limits and trying to get a sentence for Logan without him being present and without evidence being looked at. I am about to explode. Why aren’t they answering their phones?

Logan POV I open my eyes and I instantly regret it, I try to lift my head but my neck and the back of my head hurts, my neck is stiff. Slowly I move my head back and I open my eyes slightly. There’s barely any light and I try to focus my vision on my surroundings. I look around and I am alone in a big room, I try to move but I can’t I’m tied to a chair and that’s when I remember the two guys, Beth. I look around and I can’t see her. Panic starts to creep in and I don’t know what to do. I try to fight the restraint of the ropes but nothing happens. The door opens and one of the guys walks in, “Look, the fairy is awake”, he laughs punching me in the face. I cough as soon as he does it because I feel my lip bleeding, fucking moron. I will fucking kill you when I get my hands on yo
Author Note Trigger Warning, this chapter contain scenes that might trigger some readers. Rape scened. Read at your own risk Elisabeth POV “Fuck you”, I say to Samuel and he grabs my neck starting to choke me, I grab his hand with both my hands and I try to pull him away but he doesn’t budge, I start to struggle to breath and that’s when dad finally says something. “You need her alive”, dad says and Samuel lets go of me and I fall on my knees coughing trying to get air into my lungs. Samuel grabs me by my hair and lifts me up, he pulls me towards the door and dad follows him. I can’t believe this is happening, I feel the tears running down my face while Samuel laughs about my situation. How is it possible that he feels no regret doing this to me. How is to possible that he can be such a monster? I know that he’s always a monster but now it’s even worse.
Michael POV I am pacing around like a crazy person while Gabe, Mel and dad are sitting each on their armchair. We have been here for hours, and this office is starting to feel claustrophobic. I need to get out of here. I need to go get Logan and Elisabeth. “How can you be so relaxed?” I bark at them, and Gabe lifts his hands in front of his chest. “WOW, relax, little bro, you know that Logan and Beth are alive. You know who has them”, Gabe says “Yeah, but I don’t know why he has them, and what he wants. He is a psycho, and I thought you took care of him”, I let out in frustration. “I did, but the fucker is tougher than he looks”, Gabe says, shrugging his shoulders. “What time is the meeting?” Mel asks “At nine”, I reply, looking at my watch, and there’s only one hour left of waiting to see what Samuel has planned. I look at dad, and he looks unfazed. He doesn’t care. He really doesn’t care that Logan an
Michael POV It’s been three days since everything happened and finally Logan is being released from the hospital but Elisabeth has to stay a few more days. She will be released just a couple of days before Gabe’s wedding. “How are you feeling love?” I ask Elisabeth kissing the top of her head “Like I got shot”, she replies offering me a smile. At least this girl has a sense of humour. Logan is sitting on his bed looking at me and I walk to him sitting next to him, I ask him if he is ready to go home but he just nods his head, I think he is having a tough time understanding why my dad did that, I tried to explain a thousand times that he knew what he was doing, and that he missed all the important organa son purpose. Logan still doesn’t want to talk about it, I understand. In the end of the day grew up around guns and violence but he didn’
Elisabeth POV I walk into the room where River is and I gasp at how beautiful she looks, she’s showing off her beautiful pregnant belly, almost full term and she is still rocking the most beautiful wedding dress I’ve ever seen. I shake my head trying to push away memories of last week’s event when I was wearing that wedding dress and Samuel raped me. I close my eyes tightly blocking those thoughts and focus on River and Olivia. There’s not many of us here but enough so have some fun and drink some alcohol free cocktails, after all if the bride can’t drink none of us can. And I can’t because of all the medication I am in. I help her get ready doing some final touches on her dress when we are told it is time for the bride to walk down the isle. Rive is extremely nervous and I try and give her some encouraging words but nothing really good comes out, after all I’ve never been married and I am in a unconve
Michael POV The wedding is being perfect, and the food is absolutely amazing, the fish course is divine, is a simple dish but tastes to perfection. As I take my last bite, Elisabeth stands up, excusing herself to go to the bathroom, I stand up at the same time, and I ask her if she would like me to escort her. She dismisses me and walks to the bathroom, one of the security guards keeps an eye on her as she walks and follows her, Good. They are paying attention to what they should, and they are actually doing their job as they are being paid to do. The plates are cleared, and the staff starts to get the dessert buffet ready. God, how am I supposed to eat anything else? I’m almost exploding here. Logan sits on the chair next to me and gives my knee a small squeeze under the table; I put my hand on top of his and squeeze it. I stand up to get some f
Michael POV I paid barely to none attention to the ceremony. In the end I helped carry the coffin, Gabe was on the other side while mom and Amelia walked side by side with us, not behind it. We were always in the same level, I have to say more people than I expected showed up today, old business associates, old, friends and their sons and daughters. Everyone respected my dad, more people than I though possible, I honestly thought more people feared him than respected, but what do I know, apparently I didn’t know him that well. Once everything is done and over with we go eat, how do people expect us to keep our composure when we have the killer waiting for us? Logan and Elisabeth kept to themselves during the entire time, I’ve been sitting next to mom the whole time, from all of us she is the one that is struggling the most. She’s spent thirty years of her life with the man. She’s on her sixties now and
Michael POV The car ride was painfully quiet. Mel is sitting next to me and she keeps her eyes locked on the window, as if she is avoiding making eye contact with me, I honestly can’t blame her. I haven’t really been myself lately and I know she is starting to get annoyed with me. She was daddy’s little girl and she shared a connection with him that I will never understand. The car comes to a sudden stop and I look around, I recognise this place. I lean foreword and I can see mom is crying and Gabe is holding the steering wheel tightly. “Is this some kind of a joke?”, I ask and Mel opens the door leaving the car. I follow her and then Gabe and mom stand near us. We all stand outside the building and mom starts to cry, Gabe involves his arms around her and Mel cuddles up to me, most people thought we were twins because of the small age gap between us. “It’s been thirty years since I’ve been here”, mom says and I look at her.
