The greatest son: Zane strikes back Muddy Water
After side-eyeing Yoko for a moment, Emily looked back at Zane and said, “Mr. Hernandez was very supportive of the idea, Mr. Murphy was reluctant, but agreed to give you a chance, and Mr. Clark sounded extremely enthusiastic about the prospect of working together with you.”“Extremely Enthusiastic?” Zane asked hesitantly, a bit concerned about the words she used.“Well, among the three he sounded way hyper and agreed quicker than the others. He even sounded excited and hopeful as he told me about the possible collaboration of you guys on a project.”“Well, since that's the case, of the three, let me speak with Mr. Clark last.” A slight look of confusion settled on Emily's face for a moment, but then she nodded, smiling faintly at Zane, and then said, “Then when do you want to meet Mr. Clark to discuss?”“A week from now.” Zane replied, halfway distracted by his thoughts.Now, even Yoko seemed confused that he would choose to make Mr. Clark wait that long when he is the one who is mor

As the bed moved under him, Zane's eyelids slowly raised, staring blurrily at Emma bareback, and as she was about to reach for her robe, he grabbed hold of her waist baring his face into her skin and inhaled deeply before letting out a satisfied sigh and nuzzling further into her soft flesh. As the smell of jasmine filled his nostrils and the sound of birds chirping outside the room, he smiled softly to himself and nestled deeper into her body, and the warmth from their bodies pressed together began to spread through him, leaving him drowsy. “Good morning,” Zane said, his voice deep, yet like a whisper, rumbling with happiness. “You’re up early.”Turning around in his arms, Emma smiled widely and brushed his hair back before leaning forward and kissing his lips.“After what you did last night, sleep is the least I could do after that.” She replied, her eyes shining warmly as she teased his lips with a kiss, nibbling on them lightly before pulling away and looking down at him. She bi

With a look of concern on her face, Emma gazed at Zane as he glared at the waitress, causing her to hold her breath, avoiding his dark look. After a moment of hesitation and a glance at Emma, the waitress said, “The fellow behind you. He asked me to deliver the note to you and the wine to you. He claimed to be an acquaintance of yours.”At that, Zane threw the piece of paper onto the table, waking from his seat, and grabbed the wine, causing Emma to frown slightly and picked up the paper.When she unraveled it and read the context on the sheet, she knew her husband was about to fuck someone up badly and she mumbled, “Babe, wait…”But her words fell on deaf ears as Zane moved for the guy, his grip on the bottle tightening as he stalked toward the stranger.The fellow wore this mocking smirk that seemed to be carved on his face, and he leaned forward to rest his elbows against the table as he looked up at Zane, laughing as if he already knew what was going to happen.“Hey man,” The du
The greatest son: Zane strikes back How did you guys meet?
As Zane sat in the backseat of the police car with Larry, handcuffs on both their wrist, the officer in the front passenger seat looked back at them through the barbwire.Seeing the calm expression on Zane’s face made him smirk, mumbling, “It says when you bite more than you can chew, you get shit stuck in your throat that choke the hell out of you.” Even though Zane knew those words were aimed at him, his face remained emotionless, ignoring the officer's gaze although the dude was staring directly at him.“This guy... What a cocky piece of a prick... You get a taste of the upper-class piss, and now, you suddenly think that you are invisible. Well, I can assure you that prison is very humbling.” He chuckled darkly, a low growl escaping his throat. “It doesn't matter how big your connections are. Once they put you behind that metal bar, you will feel completely powerless.”After not getting a reaction from Zane’s soporific stillness, he scoffed and faced his front, saying, "Pray to yo

A nervous giggle escaped Belinda's mouth. She had been trying to avoid talking to Zane's wife because it wasn't appropriate. But now, Emma was acting very friendly, and honestly, Belinda couldn't help but feel a slight sense of intimidation and guilt.“I am being way too nosy, am I?” Emma laughed as a feeling of embarrassment weighed down on her chest. “Sorry...”“No, not at all... You don't need to be sorry,” Belinda said in a soothing tone. “Yoko and I met through… somewhat of a mutual friend. He got excited about me, and that kinda made me feel... special, I guess... He was the first to make me feel like that... So of course I said yes to a date with him.”“Oh...” “Don’t tell him that I said this.”Chuckling at Belinda's nervous tone Emma nodded in agreement, smiling at her as she mumbled, “Of course, I won't tell him! Your secret is safe with me.”When they were a bit further in the hallway, Zane stopped and turned around to face Yoko as he said, “What did you want to discuss w

Walking past Zane with a plate of fried plantains and eggs, Emma set it on the table and mumbled, “Dad said that he wants us to have lunch at his place.”“Sure,” Zane mumbled, his attention on the papers before him.But after a moment of total silence, he raised his gaze to see Emma staring at him with one of her brows raised.Immediately, Zane dropped the pen, closed the files, and then pushed them aside.“Thank you,” Emma murmured as she picked up the plate and put it in front of him along with a glass of orange juice. “Enjoy,”For a second, Zane stared blankly at her for a moment before picking up the fork. His appetite was still nonexistent after finding out that Mr. Clark is a disgusting freak, and now he had like three days to make a final decision on how to handle things with him.But he knew Emma woke up early to make this, so he pushed his thoughts aside for a while and started eating, enjoying it a little more than usual. “Sooo... I was thinking, once everything is over, you

The New Era building had never been so tense as when Deborah and Austin met in the first-floor lobby.Since he received the news that Zane wasn't dead, he had been lying to her to calm her rage, but now that she was glaring into his eyes with what appeared to be genuine anger, his stomach turned over with nerves. His hands were shaking, and he tightened them into fists as she marched toward him, and when Deborah was a foot away from him, she whispered through gritted teeth, saying, “I just found out that Zane put your little punk into a hospital a couple of days ago.”“What are you talking about?” Austin asked, trying to maintain some control over the situation. “The one you plan to kill Zane was Vance, right?... How could I be stupid to trust men with such a delicate situation!”“Yes, Vance failed. But trust me, Deborah. I can-” “Shut it, Austin. You are an incompetent, sluggish, lazy idiot with only two brain cells and no backbone!”Without holding back, Austin raised his hand and
The greatest son: Zane strikes back A stab to the heart
Standing at the rack, staring at his suit, Zane spaced out until he felt Emma's hands wrapped around his bicep. The soft pressure of her fingers against his skin made him feel warm inside, and goosebumps prickled his arms as her cheek rested on his back, breathing in deeply. "What's wrong?” Emma whispered.Her voice drew him from his thoughts, and then he turned to meet her worried expression with a smile, mumbling, “I am about to piss off some powerful, grumpy old men, and I am just contemplating on if I should...”“Do you really want to piss off this grumpy old dudes?” Emma asked quietly, her eyes searching his face. There was a hint of worry hidden beneath her concern, but she seemed to be trying not to show it.“I have to,” Zane said, gently brushing away a flyaway strand of hair. “I can’t just stand by and let them ruin me.”Holding his gaze, Emma beamed at him as her palm rested against his chest for another brief moment before her fingertips slipped between his arm and his

The greatest son: Zane strikes back Epilogue
~~~~~*Two years later*~~~~~The sun casts a warm glow through the large windows of Zane's office, creating a serene and inviting ambiance. For a while, Yoko sat nervously on the plush leather couch, his fingers fidgeting with the delicate box hidden in his pocket. Then he stole a glance at Zane, who was engrossed in a stack of paperwork on his desk. Summoning his courage, Yoko cleared his throat, capturing Zane's attention. Zane looked up, his eyes filled with curiosity. Yoko could feel his heartbeat quicken as he slowly withdrew the box from his pocket, holding it delicately in his trembling hands. His palms were clammy.As the pen dropped from his grip, Zane's lips curled into a mischievous smile as he observed Yoko's gesture. Then he teased, leaning back in his chair, his words dripped with playful sarcasm, the glint in his eyes betraying his amusement, "Well, well, Yoko... I knew you were a charmer, but I already have a stunning wife." Chuckling, Yoko narrowed his eyes, and he
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Does that make sense
A sense of shock washed over Zane like an icy wave as he stood frozen, unable to comprehend the scene unfolding before him. His eyes widened, fixed on the figure of Jason, whom he had believed to be dead. The turmoil within him intensified as Jason and Deborah stopped just a couple of feet away.Then Jason's eyes bore into Zane's soul, a mix of anger, anguish, and madness swirling within them. Without warning, he tossed a gun towards Zane, the metallic object spinning through the air before landing with a thud at Zane's feet. "Take it!" Jason spat. "It's yours, Zane! Your thirst for revenge has ruined all our lives! So go ahead, pick up the gun, and satisfy your anger! End her!"Looking away from the gun and at his uncle, Zane's mind raced, his heart pounding in his chest. Confusion clouded his thoughts, and he found himself unable to form a coherent response, and he just stared blankly at Jason.Frustration and desperation radiated from Jason, his face contorted with rage. "Kill th

After shutting the door, Zane's footsteps echoed through the grand hallway of the mansion. His mind was a whirlwind of emotions, thoughts crashing into each other with relentless force. All he could focus on was the heaviness in his chest, the weight of the day's events bearing down upon him.As he made his way further into the mansion, Zane's eyes darted around, avoiding the gazes of the staff who lined the corridors, silently going about their duties. Both Emma and Damon were sitting in the living room, and when she saw Zane, walking through the doorway, she woke from her seat and rushed to him.His grip tightened around her waist as he pressed a kiss to her lips, letting it linger there for several seconds before pulling back slightly. "Are you okay?" Emma asked, concerned.With a forced smile, he nodded and said, "Yes. I'm fine." The way Zane refused to meet her eyes caught Damon's attention, and he watched his son carefully, trying to figure out what was going on in his boy's

The sun crept over the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow through the curtains of the small bedroom, and Emma stirred in her sleep, her eyelashes fluttering as she slowly awoke. Rolling onto her side, she found Zane lying next to her. His eyes were open, but they were distant, lost in thoughts that refused to let him be."Zane," she whispered, her voice still heavy with sleep. She reached out and brushed her fingers across his cheek, gently coaxing him to turn his gaze toward her.With a weak smile, he turned to face her, his eyes filled with shadows, and she traced the lines on Zane's face with her fingers, trying to read his emotions. "You are hurting because of his death, aren't you?" she asked softly.Shutting his eyes, Zane let out a deep sigh, his chest rising and falling with the weight of his emotions. "I don't know, Emma," he replied, his voice barely a whisper. "Leon and I were never close, never got along. But now, knowing he's gone, there's this void that I can't exp
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Who blood is this?
With a look of madness in her eyes, satisfied that she had gotten her wish and murdered Zane, Deborah suddenly turned the gun on both men.Before they could react, she fired several shots, and they died as the bullets pierced their chests, each of them falling lifeless to the ground.Looking up at Zane, lying motionless, Deborah chuckled to herself, and then she quickly walked over to him."I hope you and your mother rot in hell." She whispered, reaching for the bag and yanked it off his head.Immediately, her hand started trembling as tears welled up in her eyes, and she picked him off the ground, resting his head on her lap, and whispered, "My beautiful baby boy...!! My child! Leon, please open your eyes! Leon, Mommy is sorry, open your eyes, please. I beg you ..." Her voice cracked as tears rolled down her cheeks."No! no, no, no!... No, Leon! Please! I need you! I love you! Wake up! Open your eyes!" She screamed hysterically, hugging Leon tight as tears streamed down her cheeks u
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Are you sure it's Zane
The hospital room was filled with silent tension as Belinda and Emma cautiously entered. Their eyes immediately fell upon Zane, who was sitting by the bed, his head resting on the mattress. Yoko, who had been keeping a watchful eye on him, glanced up at the sound of their arrival. Placing his hand to his lip, he whispered, "Shh-shh... Since we got to the hospital yesterday, he just fell asleep." But just as the words left Yoko's lips, Zane's eyes fluttered open, and he sat up, his gaze fixated on the two ladies standing before him. There was a mixture of relief and weariness in his eyes, and a faint smile crossed his lips. Unable to contain her emotions, Emma stepped forward and enveloped Zane in a tight hug, her arms wrapped around his neck. Her voice, barely a whisper, trembled with concern, "How are you hanging in?" As his weary gaze met Emma's, Zane managed a small smile. "I am just glad that this idiot is fine," he replied, his voice laced with a touch of humor, but his e

At the count of eight, the tension in the atmosphere reached its peak. Each second seemed to stretch out endlessly, as Leon sat behind the wheel, his finger itching to pull the trigger. "9!" Zane shouted, raising his hand to signal his men. "And..."But as the count reached "10!" Leon's pent-up rage exploded. In a split second, he burst out of the car, his hand gripping the gun tightly. He aimed directly at Zane's head, his eyes wild with a murderous intent.Time seemed to slow down as Yoko reacted instinctively. He leaped in front of Zane, covering his boss with his own body. The bullet tore through the air, finding its way into Yoko's arm, tearing to his skin and blood oozed out.Pain seared through Yoko's body, but he barely registered it. His sole focus was protecting Zane, even at the cost of his own life. He gritted his teeth, feeling the impact of the bullet as he absorbed the blow.In that instant, the atmosphere erupted with chaos. The crack of the gun reverberated through t
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Even if I die
In the midst of the tense silence, Zane sat at the head of a long mahogany table, his gaze steady as he surveyed the board members of NewEra as everyone waited for him to speak.Taking a deep breath, Zane began, his voice strong and his eyes bored into them one after the other, "Ladies and gentlemen, I stand before you today to address the mistakes of my past and to offer my unwavering dedication to the revival of NewEra. I know that I have gone against this company countless times, but from this day forward, I promise to use my knowledge and skills to help rebuild what was once the lifeblood of this organization."His words hung in the silence, and Zane's gaze swept across the room, meeting the eyes of each board member, their expression still that of fear."I owe this to my late mother," Zane continued. "Her life was taken so this place can get built, and it is my duty, as her son, to honor her legacy and ensure that NewEra rises from the ashes."A hushed silence filled the room as
