Chapter 40
Logan's POV.
This morning should've been a perfect and easy one having breakfast in bed with my wife and kids but after I returned back to our
bedroom with our triplets and our food, I was disturbed to find my lady crying her precious little eyes out in our bed.
At first, I thought it was because I had left her alone but then I saw her holding her phone and when I got close enough to see what she was
looking at, I noticed she was watching a video of Luca being a hot, drunken mess outside of a club.
It broke my heart to see her so upset, especially over someone as worthless as Luca Carpenter but it's her brother at the end of the day and
even though he hurt and betrayed her, it doesn't stop her heart from being good and kind towards him.
It also doesn't stop her from worrying about his stupid, drunk ass either, especially when he's acting like this in public.
It didn't take me long to calm my girl down and I told her not to worry anymore because I'll sort this out and make everything better for
her.
I didn't know how I was gonna do this but I would do and try anything for her, my beautiful wife, so after having breakfast with my perfect
little family, 1 got dressed in one of the finest suits I own and I left to go and see Luca Carpenter.
When I got to Dylan and Luca's home, I was greeted by one of the maids who escorted me to the living area where the entire Carpenter clan
was and quite the scene was going down in there.
Ileaned against the archway with my arms crossed over my chest and a smirk on my face as I watched all of the drama unfold.
The smirk still remained on my face even after I had heard what Luca had to say about their dad hitting my wife because I needed to keep a
level head right now even though I wanted nothing more than to rip James's throat out.
When I realised I'd seen and heard enough, I made my presence known and everyone looked at me with either a confused expression or a
shocked one.
“Logan..what are you doing here?"
“Sorry, I'm late for the family meeting”
Isaid as my smirk got bigger and brighter.
“Brother, what are you doing here?”
Justin asked confused.
“Oh, I'm here because a source very and I mean VERY close to me informed me of Luca's behaviour last night”
Isaid whilst glaring at Luca.
“What source?"
Justin asked me and I looked at him before looking at James Carpenter and I couldn't control myself.
“One second, Justin’
Isaid before walking over to James and punching him hard in the jaw.
James went down like a sack of spuds and he was immediately embraced by his wife.

“What the hell, Logan? why did you hit my dad?"
“Because he hit Lacey, do you like hitting defenceless little girls, James?"
I growled at my father-in-law who was glaring at me like he wanted to kill me.
“Keep glaring old man, I dare you, I'm Logan f*****g Black nothing and nobody can touch me, not even you"
“Why are you doing this, Logan?"
Liam asked whilst looking and sounding angry.
“Ialready told you, I did it for Lacey, not to mention the asshole deserves it"
“You motherfu..”
“Knock it off, Liam"
James said as he stood up with the help of his wife.
He then looked at me with a look that was still murderous but there was another emotion there as well, one that I couldn't decipher.
“He's right, I did deserve it but what I wanna know is why are you so eager to make me pay, huh, Logan? what are you to my baby girl?"
“That's none of your business, James, the only thing you need to know is that Lacey has always and will always be under my protection and
nobody, not even you and your sons are gonna hurt that girl ever again”
“Wait, do you know where she is, Logan?”
Louise, Lacey's mom asks me with so much hope in her voice.
I wanted nothing more than to put her heart and mind at ease that her little girl is perfectly fine but Lacey wants to surprise her family later
on and has asked me and her grandparents to keep her reappearance in New York a secret and what my wife wants she gets, so I'm keeping
schtum for now.
“No, I don't, Louise”
“Then why are you so protective of her?”
Dylan asked in an angry and dare I say jealous tone.
Why the f**k is he jealous? Lacey's not even his type and he made that clear to the poor girl six years ago.
I slowly walked over to Dylan with a glare on my face and he had the good sense to look fearful of me.
“With devious little fuckers like you in the world, Lacey needs someone like me to protect her, I mean, she can't rely on any of you, can she?"
I growl as I look around at the family.
“You've got the abusive daddy and submissive mommy who only care about using their one and only little girl for money, power, status and
connections, two big brothers who should be her protectors but instead of helping their little sister in her time of need, they turned their
backs on her because they were afraid of being cut off by daddy over here”
I'said and both Justin and Liam lowered their heads in shame.
“There's the fiance who instead of being honest with Lacey about his sexuality, he chose to lie to her and led her into a false future where
she believed she was marrying a man who loved her and was going to give her a family but he didn't because he was too much of a coward,
so instead of being honest with Lacey, he started an affair with her own damn brother”
“You don't know anything, Logan”
“Don't I? so all of this is a lie then? you didn't cheat on Lacey with her brother? you didn't lie to her or betray her? you didn't hide your
sexuality from her even though deep down in your heart you knew that as heartbroken as she would've been to lose the man she loved, she
would've happily accepted you for who you are and she would've supported you as well?"
Lask Dylan who lowers his head because he knows everything I've just said is true.
“Then there's you"
Isaid as I glared at Luca.
“Big brother, best friend, protector, she loved and trusted you the most but you didn't care, did you, Luca? no, you didn't because all you
cared about was your c**k and sticking it in your baby sister's fiance"
“Logan, L."
“SHUT UPII*
I growl and he flinches.
I stepped closer to Luca and looked at him with disgust, anger and disappointment etched on my face.
“You broke that girl..you destroyed her, you didn't care about her or her feelings when you were f****g her fiance and now you have the
nerve to stand there with tears streaming down your pathetic face feeling guilty and ashamed which you should because what you both did
was deplorable but using alcohol to numb your pain, attacking people and making a total ass out of yourself embarrassing all of us in the
process is f*****g low..do you really think Lacey would wanna see you like that, huh?"
Luca looked down with shame and guilt on his face as he narrowed his eyes to his hand which was black and blue and had several cuts on it
as well.
I'm glad he feels guilty because I don't think he even realises just how much his actions have not only affected the Carpenters and Tates but
also the Blacks as well because we'e affiliated with them and have been for many, many decades now.
It's like a guilty-by-association kind of thing, if one of us does something like this then it affects all of us because other businesses and
anyone who is either invested or wants to invest with us will think that if Luca is incompetent, untrustworthy and immature then we all are.
It's just an all around bad look for us.
He also doesn't know how much his actions last night have affected Lacey who is extremely hurt and heartbroken and is disturbed at how
low her brother's life has gotten.
I had hoped to keep this from Lacey because I know how sensitive she is with her family and I didn't want her worrying over how bad things
actually are with Luca but now because of this f++++*q i**+t, she knows and it's breaking her precious heart.
“Do you think Lacey would be happy if she saw the big brother she's loved and idolised for many years get drunk out of his mind, fight
members of the public and fall out of a club like a drunken moron? do you think she wants an alcoholic for a big brother, huh? no, she
doesn't, nobody does, nobody wants their loved ones to suffer like that even if they are in the wrong..you need to sort yourself out, Luc,
drinking yourself stupid isn't gonna help you or anyone around you and it certainly isn't gonna repair your relationship with your sister if
and when she does decide to come back home"

“What am I supposed to do, Logan?"
Luca asks whilst looking me in the eyes.
"You get help because if you don't then you're gonna lose everything, you've already lost your sister, do you wanna lose your husband and
kids as well? or worse...do you wanna lose your life to drink?"
Luca's eyes widened with fear and his fear seemed to escalate at the sound of his daughter's voice.
“Uncle Logan”
Melissa greeted me as she ran into the living area and right up to me.
“Hey there princess” All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
Isaid with a smile as I picked her up.
“Daddy said you went to London"
“Idid"
“Did you get me any presents?”
“Melissa, don't be rude”
Dylan scolded his daughter for being cheeky but I knew she wasn't because I always get my nieces and nephews a little gift when I come
back home from a trip.
“Actually princess, I've got you one big present and three little ones but you'll have to wait until the party later on to get them, do you think
you can wait?"
“Really?”
She asks with a big, bright smile on her lips as her eyes glittered with excitement and I nod my head.
“Yes, really”
This little girl doesn't even realise what kind of presents I've got for her and it makes me feel excited to see her reaction when she meets her
auntie and cousins for the first time.
“Thank you, uncle Logan"
“You're welcome, princess"
Melissa nuzzles her face in my neck as I share a look with Luca.
There were no words spoken but he understood what I was trying to say with my eyes.
He needs help and he needs it now.
