Zayne Is Missing!

last update Last Updated: 2025-04-17 22:48:02

Meanwhile, Zayne was crying uncontrollably in his room after what he had learned from his father. He couldn’t accept the truth, but his sobs suddenly stopped when he remembered something.

He quickly stood up, grabbed his cellphone, and opened the tracking device.

“Mommy’s alive! Mommy’s alive!”

His tears immediately dried up, and he jumped for joy when he saw a red dot on the screen—indicating his mother’s location. He was sure it wasn’t the ravine where they claimed she had disappeared.

“Mommy isn’t dead! She’s somewhere, and I need to go to her so I can bring her home. Daddy’s already worried.”

The child hastily grabbed a bag, packed some of his things, and took cash for his journey.

He rushed down the stairs and hid in a corner when he saw someone approaching. He planned to pass through the maids’ quarters since that was always the open exit. The servants had a separate pathway from the main house.

Once he confirmed no one was around, he sprinted toward the maids’ qua

    “JUST A MOMENT!” Claire shouted from inside as she had been hearing the knocks on the door for a while now. At first, she thought nothing of it since they were faint, but as the sound persisted, she was sure someone was there. “Z-Zayne?” Claire gasped as she opened the door and was met by her child, who immediately clung tightly to her leg. “I-I told you not to leave me, Mommy!” Claire froze at the child’s words, feeling him tremble with sobs. She quickly knelt to his level. “Zayne, shh, stop crying. Don’t cry anymore, Mommy’s here,” she said, embracing him again. --- THE NEXT DAY, Zayne woke up early and immediately left his room to look for Claire, but she wasn’t there. He went outside and saw his mother preparing breakfast. “Mommy!” Claire turned to the voice and smiled when she saw him. “Come here, Zayne, let’s eat.” At her words, Zayne rushed down and hugged her again. Last night, the child had fainted, terrifying Claire, so she immediately called for Faith

    “HAHAHA, don’t make me laugh, Kuya. That joke was so good,” Claire said with a shake of her head after a long silence between them. Timothy’s shoulders slumped in defeat—he had thought she would finally believe him, especially after seeing her confused expression. “Claire, I’m not joking,” Claire’s laughter slowly faded at her brother’s words, especially when she saw his face turn serious again. “You see, I’m the child of your father’s right hand, Claire—the King. My mother was the one assigned to find you and Auntie. Besides, Mama also wanted it because she and your mother were friends.” Claire’s brows furrowed at his words. Yes, she knew their mothers were friends, but it was hard for her to believe what he was saying, especially without proof. “I don’t have time for your jokes, Kuya,” Claire turned away from him. “Butterfly.” Claire froze mid-step. A moment later, she was startled when her brother suddenly approached her and pulled down the collar of her dress, making

    (Claire’s Past) “Mama! Kuya!” The high-pitched voice of young Claire echoed throughout the palace as she ran down their grand staircase. The two siblings shared a room, and every time Clark, Claire’s older brother, woke her up, he would tickle her until she ran out. “Run, Claire! If I catch you, I’ll tickle you again!” “Mama! Papa!” The couple couldn’t help but laugh at their playful antics. They had grown used to this scene every morning. They watched as Claire rushed toward them and hid behind them. This was the usual morning scene in the palace—even the servants adored the siblings, always seeing them laughing and playing together. “Kuya Clark, don’t we have the same birthmark?” Claire asked her brother one afternoon as they lay in bed, resting. “Yes, look at this.” Clark raised his wrist and showed it to her. “Why is that so unfair? Mine’s on my shoulder!” Claire pouted, making her brother laugh. “Because you’re special! So never question your birthmark.” Clai

    The battle began, and Claire managed to defeat them all. But once she got inside, she struggled and had to use guns taken from the enemies. She managed to take down half of them, but it wasn’t enough—she was exhausted. “Claire!” She turned around and saw her mother holding a gun. She smiled at this and fought again. “I-I’m not weak, Mom. I can save my brother!” Claire said as they stood close. “Have you lost your mind?! You could die here!” Amanda shouted, her eyes wide with fury, making the girl flinch. Claire had no other desire but to prove to her mother that she was just as important as her brother. Tears streamed down the child’s face as she pulled away from her mother to keep fighting. She quickened her pace, rushing to the very top where her brother’s captors were. “Claire!” her mother screamed when she saw her reach the top, but she couldn’t follow—too many enemies surrounded her. When Claire arrived, she kicked the door open, and the remaining guards turned to sta

    “How is she, Doc?” Timothy asked the doctor he had called when Claire fainted. “I can see that she has recovered her memories now, but it may cause her some headaches since it’s been years since she lost them. These are her childhood memories, right?” The man nodded in response to the doctor’s question. “She’ll have a lot of questions, especially if her memories aren’t pleasant, so if possible, please guide her.” “Yes, Doc, I’ll take care of her,” the doctor said as he gathered his things. “I still advise bringing her to the hospital to check if any brain functions were affected by the sudden return of her memories.” “Alright, Doc.” After the doctor left, Timothy let out a deep sigh and sat beside Claire. “Claire, I hope you can accept everything. I know what happened in the past wasn’t good, but you’ll always be our princess—remember that.” Just as he finished speaking, he was startled when Claire suddenly woke up, sitting up in tears. “Kuya Clark!” “Claire!

    “I’m always by your side, Claire. Once a month, I come here to the Philippines to visit you and Mama,” The siblings sat side by side in front of their mother’s grave. After their reunion, they decided to talk in front of their mother while Timothy kept watch nearby—after all, he was accompanying two nobles, especially since the future King was present. “Always? Did Mama know about this?” Claire asked in surprise, to which Clark nodded. “She knew, Claire. I was the first to find you, and I kept it a secret from everyone, just as Mama instructed. You’re not at fault, Claire. Mama didn’t leave us without a reason—she had a purpose.” Claire frowned at her brother’s words while fidgeting with her hands. “A reason? What reason, Kuya Clark?” At her question, Clark turned to face her, his expression serious. “Your life was in danger, Claire. Remember those who kidnapped me? They were hunting you. And Mama… Mama didn’t die in a car accident." Claire froze at his words, a sudden fear

    But in doing so, I failed to notice that I was leaving you behind. Do you know that when you were born, I never left your side? From the very beginning, I knew you were the kind of girl who wouldn’t hurt a fly—and I wasn’t wrong. During every training session, I watched over you. I told your brother to push you harder because I didn’t want your kindness to be your downfall one day. When you saved your brother, I saw your strength—how you inherited my stubbornness, the very thing your father hated about me. I saw your determination, Claire. I hid you because I didn’t want you to get hurt. You lost your memories, but I was certain they would return once you met the people from your past. I’m no longer afraid for your safety, Claire, because many will protect you now—especially Zekiel. I’ve met Zekiel, my child, and he is a good father to your children. Don’t be afraid to show him who and what you truly are—because he will be the first to accept you. Remember that. When the day com

    They were already on their way home because after that encounter, they didn’t stay much longer, especially since the weather was getting hotter. They only had lunch at a restaurant, and now the twins were asleep in the back of the car. While on the road, Camille suddenly crossed Claire’s mind. “Zekiel, where is Camille, by the way?” Zekiel glanced at her briefly, his brow furrowing because she had brought it up so suddenly. “That girl? According to Hero, she’s in jail.” “Jail? Why? Is she locked up permanently?” Zekiel’s frown deepened at her question. “What do you mean ‘why’? Of course, she deserves to be there! She almost got you all in danger because of her, and I won’t let that slide.” Zekiel’s grip on the steering wheel tightened, while Claire fell silent, lost in thought. ’In danger…’ she whispered in her mind before her eyes suddenly widened. “Do you think Camille was the one who did that to Zoey?!” Zekiel looked at her briefly. “Impossible, my life. She had jus

    “Z-Zekiel, fine. I’ll introduce you to Mama, and we’ll visit her grave. But I have one question,” Claire said nervously. She didn’t want to reject him—it would hurt him, even though she did want what he was offering. It just wasn’t the right time. “Go on,” Zekiel replied quickly, making Claire sigh. “The kids, Zekiel. We can’t just forget what happened to Zoey. What are we going to do about it?” Zekiel fell silent, then immediately felt anger rise within him. In the brief moment of happiness with his family, he had forgotten about the person who had tried to kill his child. “I’ll find him,” Zekiel said firmly. “I’ll go with you, Zekiel.” He turned to her, his expression softening. “No. I won’t let you put yourself in danger, Claire—especially not while you’re pregnant.” “Who said anything about fighting? I’ll just help you plan and search.” Zekiel was taken aback—how did she know they were going to fight? “How did you know we’d be fighting?” “Huh? O-Oh—“ Claire flinc

    “Daddy, I’m so happy that we are complete now,” Zoey said with a smile as Zekiel adjusted the blanket for her, while Claire did the same on the other end. “Me too. We’ll never be separated again, okay?” “Your daddy is right. We won’t let anything tear us apart,” Claire said sweetly, making Zekiel glance at her and smile, which she returned. “Goodnight, Mommy and Daddy!” Zayne suddenly said, already lying down and yawning, making them laugh before they settled in as well. “Goodnight, twins,” Claire turned off the lampshade beside her and hugged Zayne, who snuggled into her. Her eyes met Zekiel’s from the other side of the bed, their children nestled between them. ‘I love you,’ Zekiel whispered into the air, and the woman understood, replying softly. ‘I love you too.’ --- THE NEXT MORNING, Claire woke up early and saw that her family was still fast asleep. She quietly walked to the veranda and opened it to breathe in the fresh air. She closed her eyes, savoring the p

    Everyone had dinner together after arriving at Zekiel’s house. The noise around them never stopped, especially because of the kids—Bea and Dylan’s child was there. “What’s your baby’s name again, Bea?” Quinn asked with a smile, holding the baby’s tiny hands. “His name is Fritz.” “What a beautiful name, baby boy! And you’re so cute!” Quinn cooed happily. “Do you want one like him?” Bea teased, grinning as Quinn nodded while playing with the baby. “Then tell your boyfriend that,” Bea added, making Quinn widen her eyes in shock as she stared at her friend. “How did you two even happen?! I was only gone for a few months, and now you and Kuya are together?!” Claire pretended to scold her friend, making Bea burst into laughter at her reaction. “W-wait! I had nothing to do with that—“ ”Oh, Claire! Quinn here loves me so much—she’s absolutely obsessed with me,” Quinn’s eyes nearly popped out when Timothy suddenly appeared. “You’re so shameless! You twisted the whole story!”

    “Y-You’re right, okay okay! Thank you, Louise! I wouldn’t know what to do if everything you said actually happens.” “Don’t forget, I’m always here, Claire. I’m your friend, and I’m ready to stand by you. Alright, bye now, Claire—my meeting starts in five minutes.” “Okay, Louise, thank you. Take care there!” After that call, she went straight to Zoey’s room and saw that the twins were already asleep, while Zekiel was waiting for her. “Why did you take so long?” the young man greeted her. “Louise called to check up on me.” Zekiel frowned at her words. “Louise? I blocked that guy—how was he still able to call you?” Claire’s ears perked up at what Zekiel said, remembering Louise mentioning he couldn’t reach her. “You! You’re the reason Louise couldn’t contact me right away!” Claire whispered sharply, almost shouting, making Zekiel freeze. “M-Me? What did I do?” he stammered, seeing the pain in her eyes. “Louise told me he couldn’t reach me, so he couldn’t tell me sooner

    “WHY did you tell him?!” Claire said with wide eyes, whispering to her friends. “S-Sorry, Claire. We had no choice at that time,” Quinn replied. “Besides, it was your brother who came up with that plan, not me!” Claire could only sigh at Bea’s words, unable to look at Zekiel. “Wait, your brother? But isn’t that Timothy? He didn’t say anything back then.” Bea glanced at her friend, realizing that even she didn’t know the full truth about Claire’s past. “Why don’t you ask Timothy? I’m sure he knows something since he’s acquainted with Claire’s brother, Clark.” Quinn shot her boyfriend a sharp look. “A-Ahh, well… it’s a long story,” Timothy awkwardly laughed at his girlfriend. “Hey, my life,” Zekiel called out, causing Claire and her friends to freeze. “I think we should head out now. Let’s go, guys,” Bea said, pulling them away. “Wait, you all still have a lot of explaining to do!” Hero called after them, leaving the two standing by the door. Zekiel approached Claire

    “Wait, Bea, I have a question,” Zekiel said, making everyone turn to him—even Claire waited for what he was about to say. “What is it?” “Did you have anything to do with why Mom and Dad showed up at my meeting with the board members back when Camille and I almost got married?” Suddenly, Claire remembered that incident—the very reason she had to go to Gray’s Company in the first place, because of the arranged marriage between Zekiel and Camille. “Ah, about that… Quinn was the one who made that decision, Claire, not me!” Claire frowned at the sudden shift in Bea’s expression, especially since she was looking at her when it was Zekiel who had asked the question, not her. “Why am I being dragged into this?” she asked, glancing between the two friends. “What do you mean you? It was Bea!” Claire only got more confused by what was happening—until the men approached them and Timothy spoke up. “They both said you were the owner of Cs Boutique.” (Flashback) “This is a huge mes

    CLAIRE I couldn’t move from where I stood because of what I heard. Suddenly, the words of Kuya Clark and Timothy flashed through my mind. “How did that person get in here?! Don’t you have security?!” Zekiel’s voice rose, and I didn’t stop him because even I was furious about their negligence. “I’m really sorry, Mr. Gray, but this is a hospital. Anyone can enter, and we didn’t expect something like this to happen.” The doctor was right—we shouldn’t blame anyone because, first of all, no one wanted this. Who would’ve thought our daughter would be in danger? “Z-Zekiel, that’s enough. The doctor’s right. All we need to do now is find out who did this,” I said, tightening my grip on his hand, which made him sigh. He stared at me for a long moment before forcing a smile. This was one of the changes in him that I liked—he’d become humbler for me, unlike before when he was so prideful and quick to yell. “Okay, fine. Give me the footage, Doc. We’ll handle it.” The doctor nodd

    “Wow! Zekiel said you’d all go out once Zoey recovers,” Bea suddenly said, saving them all and allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief. “Is that so? I hope our daughter wakes up soon,” Claire said sadly, looking at Zekiel. “M-Mommy…” They were startled by the weak voice, but it was loud enough for them to hear. When they turned toward the source, they saw Zoey was awake. “Zoey!” Claire immediately approached the child and asked how she was feeling. “Z-Zoey! You’re awake! How do you feel? How are you, sweetheart?” Claire asked rapidly. “I-I’m okay, Mommy… I’m thirsty…” “She wants water! Call the doctor, hurry!” Claire said frantically. Zekiel moved quickly and handed Claire the water. “Hey, calm down, okay? You’re panicking too much,” the man said to the woman, holding her hand that was clutching the glass of water. Claire finally snapped back to reality and seemed to relax. “Our daughter is fine, take it easy,” Zekiel added with a smile, making her unable to re
