“Your father and stepmother will arrive soon,” Logan disclosed to Hope after they had finished breakfast.
“Why?” Hope’s expression shifted to sudden concern.
“I haven’t told you this before, but your family is bankrupt. And as for Karla, I handed her over to the police since she attempted to harm you not just once, but twice,” Logan revealed, finally disclosing the dire situation the Ravenclaw family had fallen into and the actions he took against Karla’s threats to Hope’s safety.
Hope was stunned upon learning the extent of Logan’s actions. “When did this happen? Why did you take such drastic measures?” She struggled to comprehend Logan’s decisive actions, though she hadn’t harbored any fondness for her family, she was taken aback by Logan’s commitment to his promise.
“You endured years of abuse, even after our marriage. And my patience has its limits, which they exceeded the moment I witnessed Kasper raise a hand against you,” Logan clarified, explaining the rationale behind his firm actions in response to the continuous mistreatment she had endured.
“So, why did they want to see me?” Hope inquired.
“Of course, to beg you and make their life lavish once again,” Logan stated. “The choice will be yours whether to forgive them or not. I have already taken actions which are irreversible,” he affirmed.
Hope took a deep sigh. “When will Karla be released from the cell? Did they not apply for her bail?” she questioned.
“I don’t know. Why should I bother about that, Logan shrugged off his shoulders and lifted from the chair. He headed out to the living room while Hope followed him.
A servant rushed inside and informed them about Kasper, Martha’s arrival. Logan gazed at Hope, asking her if they should welcome them to the house or she would wish to talk to them outside.
“Wouldn’t it be odd if we don’t welcome them in?” Hope questioned him. She asked the servant she should let them in. Now, Hope realized why Logan was called merciless.
Along with Paul both Kasper and Martha emerged in the living room. Hope was shocked to see their sight. They both looked terribly weak and pale from their faces. What did just happen with them in just small time?

Martha didn’t wait another second and fell into Hope’s feet. “I beg you, Hope. Please forgive me, your father and even Karla. We were wrong to treat you badly all these years,” Martha said while weeping profusely.
Hope found it very odd and she asked Martha not to hold her legs. She somehow managed to make Martha stand along with her while Logan enjoyed the show.
Paul remained standing when Logan gestured to him to take the seat.
“Will you forgive us?” Martha asked as she joined her both hands. “Please tell Logan to forgive us as well. Karla is still in the police’s captive. Ask your husband to take back the charges. She will also plead for your forgiveness,” she requested Hope.
“I cannot do that,” Hope clearly told them.
“Hope, I’m your father. At least, for my sake bring us out of this hell. We gave you everything. Just forget about the past. We will live as one happy family. I promise no one will give you such a trouble anymore, Kasper humbly told Hope.
Hope realized the apology wasn’t sincere at all. “I can’t forget anything,” she stated. “You did nothing for me. I was merely a serv ant to you all and most importantly, a free serv ant. In the name of room, I was given an old store room in the house. Every single day I was slapped by you. I don’t remember any day when I smiled with happiness.” Hope blurted out everything which she held in her heart for years.
“Okay. I will make up for it. You should forgive me,” Kasper said while being desperate.
“It’s so easy for you to say all this,” Hope said and began crying. “I always wanted you to love me as my father, but you never did it once,” she asserted.
“Mr. Moore, why don’t you tell Hope to listen to us?” Kasper inquired.
“Dad, I hate you. You seriously don’t understand me,” Hope loudly said in anger. “I’ll tell Logan to give you your company. But never show me your face. Also, tell Karla not to come in front of me even in the college because I hate her more than you two,” she stated and glanced at Logan while weeping.
“Return him the company and release Karla,” Hope said and walked away.
Martha was happy to hear that and she gazed at Logan. “Now, she is agreed for it, then you should do it, Logan. You are the son-in-law of our house. Don’t treat us like this,” Karla said while trying to be polite with her words.
“Well, I cannot give you the bankrupted company back. But your husband and you can definitely work us cleaners at my office. That’s the most I can do to for you. About Karla,

I am not ready to take my complain back. Let her rot in the prison for a few more days,” Logan stated while refusing to take Karla out from imprisonment.

Martha got on her knees and was ready to held Logan’s legs. “I’m not Hope. She is still very lenient on you two. Better stay out of her sight and mine too. Do what I have asked you to since it’s the last option for your survival,” he affirmed.
Kasper realized his faults, his crimes. The negligence he had toward Hope for years was the cause of his downfall today. “Please pas this message to Hope that I sincerely apologize to her. I’m sorry for sna tching all her precious childhood and teenage years from her. We will never bother you two,” he stated and made Martha stand up.
Once they left, Logan told Paul to wait as he had to check on Hope. On the other hand, Camila served the water to Paul.
Upstairs, Logan pushed the door open of Hope’s room. He saw her lying inside the blanket, sobbing.
“They left, Logan said.
“I don’t wish to talk,” Hope murmured.
“Okay.” Logan was ready to leave when Hope threw the blanket away.
“Can you not even console me?” Hope looked at him with her teary eyes.
