OMG!!! My Crippled Husband is a Hot, Powerful CEO-Chapter 204 - Too late for that

Logan, would you believe me if I told you the truth?" Alex asked as the three sons grew upset. They hadn’t come here for some family drama.

"Look, just sign those documents over to us and say goodbye to your life," Don Russo snarled. Logan knew that if Alex did sign the documents, he would be dead, and Logan would never get to know the truth Alex was talking about.

As much as he wanted to see his elder brother dead, he was also curious in knowing which truth Alex was saying, especially since the last helicopter had left.

"Don, please let me hear the story. I promise to give you everything."

Logan’s assurance calmed them down, as he was the reason they had come this far.

"Alex, I want to know the truth, especially about Dion and Joan."

Logan had a feeling that everything about Joan was not as it seemed.

"Dion isn’t dead. She was rescued from the fire by Joan, but Joan suffered a head injury and lost her memory. She couldn’t remember. It was only after signing the divorce papers that Colton’s sister caused her an accident that made her remember."

"Dion has been mentally unstable because of this, and back then, there were too many enemies, so I had to create Salvatore’s men after I completed training to protect the family. The whole agency thing was only meant to protect the Kings."

"It just expanded when they started doing a good job. So you see, the day Joan rescued Dion, she was stabbed by our sweet late mother, which was why I couldn’t find her because she was admitted to a different hospital."

Logan was shocked to hear this but was still trying to piece everything together. Besides knowing the relationship between Joanna’s mother and theirs, he had no idea that Joanna had suffered so much.

"How true is this?"

"I knew you wouldn’t believe it, which is why I never told you, but..." Alex sighed. "Take my phone from my shirt pocket. I will give you the passcode, and you can see Dion’s pictures and videos."

He always looked at Dion’s pictures whenever he missed her and was careful about whom he talked about her to. Logan was eager to see his kid sister again, as she was the reason why he hated Alex so much, thinking that the latter’s negligence had caused their kid sister’s death.

As soon as he retrieved the phone, Alex gave him the passcode, and though it had been a long time, he recognized his kid sister, Dion. So many emotions flooded through him as he wondered why their old man never mentioned it.

"Does Grandpa know about this?"

"Not yet. I told Joan she was alive and told Aiden to bring her, but she refused to come. She’s upset because a lot happened, Logan. Colton, who you teamed up with, was giving his sister drugs to worsen her illness," Alex blurted out, and Logan felt guilty.

He hadn’t heard from Colton but hearing this, he knew the guy was dead. "Why did you hide her?"

"Like I said, she was looking for the girl who saved her from the fire, and that was the cause of her mental instability. I wanted to take Joan to meet her right when we returned from Asia, but then you launched that attack."

Guilty, Logan could not believe he had failed again. For the first time, he wanted to prove that Alex was wrong and he was in the right, but as it turned out, Alex was right again.

"How can you always be the good one?" He seethed, jealousy burning inside of him.

"I’m not as good as you think. I hurt Joan emotionally when I didn’t know it was her. I was just obsessed with fulfilling Dion’s wishes, so I kept searching when the person I searched for was right in front of me."

"That’s why I don’t care if you kill me, but Joan must live. Aiden knows Dion’s whereabouts and will take you there. Tell Grandpa that I signed everything over to you, but don’t let him know you were involved in my death. It would kill him."

Logan’s eyes were blurry with unshed tears. The brother he thought was evil because he was Salvatore proved to be more righteous than him.

While Logan kept thinking about how to be the CEO and control everything, Alex was more concerned about the welfare of the whole family.

"Don’t act all righteous. As Salvatore, you’ve killed a lot of innocent people," Don Adam sneered, but Alex only forced a smile.

"Everyone I killed deserved it, but those who didn’t are still alive with new identities. Like Joan, she hated me because she thought I killed her sister. You should have figured out by now that Beauty is her sister. Dario gave her a new life when our men took her by mistake."

Logan remembered that the name Salvatore used to scare Joanna a lot, but obviously, she knew it was Alex and was still with him.

As for Beauty, he never imagined that girl was related to Joan.

"I give life, Logan, I don’t take it, and that is why you can’t get any dirt on me. Did Dario show you any dirt when he promised to support you?"

The question made Logan think. Indeed, Dario never showed Logan the so-called proof he claimed to have.

"Every innocent person my men captured has a new identity and are living happier than they ever were. They are sponsored by myself and all my workers."

The room went quiet, and Logan knew he had messed up. After all that he had promised these dons, how would he go back on his word?

"It’s your fault. You kept everything to yourself," he accused Alex, who smiled bitterly. "Even when I tried to tell you, you never believed me."

"You had your eyes on the company, but I was securing everything for Dion because I knew she would be fine if she saw Joan. Make sure to take care of them, alright? And just to let you know, I don’t hold anything against you. You will always be my brother."

Don Ace saw a tear drop from Logan’s eyes and grew angry. "I hope you aren’t falling for this bullshit. Get him to sign the documents, and let’s end him."

"Don’t worry. I have a soft copy on the phone. We can sign it if that would make you happy," Alex said, but Logan was upset. He yelled, "Shut up. Shut the fuck up."

He began searching through Alex’s phone, seeing most of the coded messages. There were a lot of safety reports, but names were not mentioned.

"And Violet? You made it seem real that you two were cheating on Joan," he asked. Alex laughed.

"You know her, Logan. She would never betray her best friend, but you can’t have her back. She’s already dating Aiden, my best friend, but Mia is still single, and she has changed. Only her mother cannot be found and seems to be like trouble," Alex shrugged, and Logan laughed.

"You don’t think I’d want to go back to that bitch, do you?" Their casual conversation reminded him of when they were younger.

Alex was so protective of him and Dion, and they used to joke a lot. Then the fire and those attacks happened, and Alex transformed into this cold person right in front of their eyes, but it turns out he had a good reason for it.

"Logan saw some text messages where Alex had informed Dario not to kill Logan."

He agreed he would have been dead if Alex wanted to kill him, but somehow, he allowed Logan to live.

After deriving satisfaction from searching Alex’s phone, he came across the document for the transfer and knew that Alex had been honest all along.

He was ready to give up his hard work just because of the people he loved and would even die for them.

Also, he had rescued all those who were prisoners of the three dons. If someone was a bad person, then that person was him, Logan, the unfeeling black sheep of the family.

Instinctively, he deleted the document from Alex’s phone and confronted him. "You fucking son of a bitch. You’ve been lying the whole time."

Alex was confused and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"There are no fucking documents on the phone?"

The three dons were excited by the turn out of events, happy that Logan was not buying into this cock and bull story.

"There are," Alex countered, offering, "I can search for it."

"Give me a gun," Logan requested. The dons were confused. "He has to sign those documents first," Don Ace reminded, Logan snatched a gun from one of the bodyguards and slapped Alex with it.

"Untie his hands," he instructed the bodyguard as he gave the phone to Alex.

"Find the document."

As Alex searched for the document, he couldn’t find it, but searching his deleted items, he found it there.

Instinctively, he felt that Logan was up to something and decided to play along. "It was here, but I can tell my assistant to resend it."

"Too late for that," Logan snarled and pressed the trigger. "Now, Alex."
