Chapter 24

Logan positioned himself properly before he spoke.

“Why did you rape her?”

Damien was surprised by his words; he couldn't believe this is what they arrested him for.

“What are you talking about? Who did I rape?”

Logan looked at Damian in disgust. He knew this bastard was trying to play smart; he should know what he was talking about.

“Don't play smart with me, young man; I will ask you for the very last time.”

He moved his head closer to Damien.

“Why did you rapeclient Bernard Megan, and who sent you?”

Damien paused for a second; he was not expecting this from Logan; he thought Doris must have reported him for something else, not what had already been settled, even though they framed him up and forced him to marry Megan.

Then he thought they were trying to cover the shame, but it seems somebody wanted Megan out of the family. He must find that person; he knows it's within the family. Damien can't take any guesses now.

Damien's eyebrows were pushed down a little.

“You mean my wife, who is carrying my baby? I don't understand your words.”

Damien fakes a surprise look.

“Are you not aware we are married?”

Logan's face squeezed; he thought Damien would say they frame him up and narrate the entire story, that way he can send him to prison for rape, but he was claiming to be Megan's husband. He must find a way to make Damien confess; everybody knows he raped Megan, and the family married them off to cover it.

“I know how you got married to Megan, your wife.”

Logan placed his hands on the table and lowered his voice.

“You know the police are your friends.”

I want to get closer to this case and solve it. Clear your name if you didn't do it, explain how it happened, and if you open up to me, once this case is solved, the Bernard family will pay you for compensation. You can get over five million dollars or even ten million; it all depends on you. And what you want”

Damien wishes they could stop using money to persuade him; he has one billion dollars in his account; what does he need money for? They just make him laugh out loud in his mind.

“So you want me to tell you how I did it with my wife? I can't tell you something erotic.”

Damien points at Logan in a mocking way.

“You must be out of your mind. You are probably drunk. Don't tell me this is why I was arrested.”

Logan fakes a smile; deep down he is frustrated, and he wishes he could pounds on Damien, but he is a professional; he can't do that now.

“Somebody reported to the police, and a solid evidence was dropped; if you don't come clean immediately, I am afraid we will go with the evidence we have, and you know what that means—”

“I don't know what that means.”

Damien relaxes in the chair.

“Jeez, what the hell are you saying anyway? Is this some kind of joke? Somebody dropped evidence on what exactly?”

Damien knows that all evidence that proves he raped Megan, which is not true, was covered by the family; in fact, only the family knows, and the little video they had was destroyed by Sir Bernard himself. There is no way this man is saying the truth. Damien knows his game, and he will make it miserable for him.

Damien smiled at Logan. Logan couldn't keep his cool anymore; he knew his plans had failed. He grabbed Damien's shirts.

“I do not care what you say; whatever I say counts, bastard. I'm going to deal with you, worthless son of a nobody.”

His mother has already told him everything he needs to know about Damien, and he did his own research. The guy is a nobody; he has no friends, no coworkers, he has nothing, and nobody will know if he disappears.

This is the perfect opportunity to raise his rank in his family; his father has always mocked him for being a police officer. Instead of helping the family business, with Megan by his side or with a heavy contract, he can regain his honor back, and when he retires, he will be given a suitable position in the family. His mom always wants him to be the heir, and this is the perfect opportunity to do so by taking this bastard away from Megan's life.

Damien chuckled and slowly freed himself from Logan's grip.

“I see you must be tired of your job; you want to get sacked and put behind bars; this act of yours can make you go on a life sentence to prison; you better not provoke me any further.”

Logan's eyes widen upon hearing the madman's words; he can't believe his mom was right about him; he is truly a madman.

He squeezed his face.

“We know you raped her, even if you decide to shut your mouth. We have standby witnesses, and she has opened up too.”

Damien knows Logan is lying; he is trying to make him open about what happened. Megan won't do such a thing, and besides, the family won't want things to get open.

It seems this asshole doesn't plan to let him go; he is already furious.

“Get these handcuffs out of my hands. I want to call my lawyer.”

Logan burst out laughing; it seems this bastard doesn't know who he is, and nobody dares to go against him.

“I am Captain Logan; without solid proof, you won't be on my desk now. Nobody can save you when I am the one calling.”

Logan shook his head forward.

“How about you make this simple for ourselves? Be open and let me see how I can help you.”

Damien's eyes turned deadly.

“I won't ask you again; let me call my lawyers.”

Logan's jaw tightened. He knew Damien was just trying to waste his time and play smart; he clearly doesn't have anybody to call.

“I know you're just a poor bastard; don't waste your strength trying to call anybody; we will provide one for you.”

Damien's cheeks moved a little.

“I hope you know the consequences of what you are doing. You deprived me of my rights. Once my lawyer finds out about this, you will be dragged out to the media.”

Logan's forehead folds. He decided to let Damien make the call; he wants to see what the bastard intends to do.

“Benjamin, I am with the police; at the South police de street come with a lawyer.”

Damien drops the call. Logan can't believe Damien's words; if he truly called somebody, he should have been begging for him to come for his rescue. What a coward!

“I hope you are happy now; you finally called your lawyer. I'll be waiting for that bastard of a lawyer that will come represent a rapist.”

Damien's eyebrows closed his eyes.

“Don't you dare call me that; I won't take it lightly with you.”

Logan's cheeks moved as he continued.

“You're a rapist; what can you do?”

“You will see what I can do soon.”

Damien decided to keep a cool head and wait for Benjamin.

Logan waited for some minutes and nobody came; he doesn't know why he is waiting when he clearly knows that Damien called a random person.

He should carry out his actions.

“Lock him up.”

The men grip Damien, and Damien resisted.

“I can see you clearly don't know your jobs; is this how a citizen is been treated here?”

Logan yelled.

“Get this rapist out of here now.”

They wanted to pull Damien when somebody roared.

“How dare you lay your hands on my young M!”

Benjamin managed to hold himself back from saying the words, footsteps followed, and over twenty men in black suits appeared from the door. Their aura vibrated the legs of many.

Logan paused in shock. Fear gripped his heart, seeing the men of Nexus Law Firm, the best law firm in the country; even their boss was here.

Logan managed to walk properly to them, he bow his head.

“Mr.Albert, why are you here? We are not holding any of your clients.”

He managed to keep his voice under control.

Mr.Albert cheeks moved.

“Oh, you don't know. I am his lawyer, Mr.Damien is my client.”
