The greatest son: Zane strikes back Trust the one percent
A yawn left Zane's lips the moment he sat up in bed, and he did a little stretch before grabbing his phone from off of his nightstand. Abruptly, it started ringing and that startled him a little, but after a few seconds and a couple quick blinks, he answered, deepening his voice a lot, and said, "Morning,""Tonight is the night," Vel said, and the sleep immediately cleared from Zane's eyes."Seriously?""You want your pound of flesh off Wu, right? Join us at the wirehouse tonight... It's now our turn to make him pay and suffer by betraying and playing us..." It took Zane a second, but he got what he meant, and he felt his jaw start to clench as he replied, "At what time?""Eleven on the dot. Don't be late." Vel said, then he hung up the phone. It went silent for another couple of minutes after that, and Zane didn't move. Instead, his mind was racing, and when the sound of a knock echoed in his room, he snapped out of his trance."Come in," Zane called, and he heard the door cre
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Two options
Unlike the outside of the Warehouse, the inside was crowded with a group of men, and all of their attention turned to Zane the moment he stepped in.Like a graveyard, the place went dead at the sight of him, and Zane froze in his step, feeling his heart thumping loudly in his chest, his blood running cold."What are you waiting for?" Zane heard, and he turned his head towards the voice, meeting the cold and dark look of Vel.His mind became alert at the thought that this could be a command to the others, and Zane was about to take a step back when a bald, full-bearded guy by Vel said, "What's wrong with this guy?""Come sit down. Wu will soon be here." Vel ordered Zane with a small tilt of his head, indicating the direction of a large chair next to a smaller table where a bottles of vodka was.A slight sense of relief spread through Zane and he quickly made his way over to where Vel had indicated and took the seat.The warehouse went dead silent again, and Zane felt like they were a
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Zane
After a few moments, they all began raising their hands except for Vel, whose expression didn't change as he kept looking at Zane, and Zane could tell that his luck was running out fast.With all eyes fixed on him, he knew it was now or never, and knowing that the earbud hidden under his hoodie would get him killed the moment it was discovered by these thug, he reluctantly raised his hand and said, "I agree with the guys. We should take care of this." It took a couple of seconds, but Vel finally drew his eyes off Zane and looked over to the others, saying, "I'm in."With that, Wes pulled out his gun and so did the rest, and Zane watched the others slowly advance towards the entrance of the warehouse, taking a couple breaths as he prepared himself mentally for whatever he had to do next.Drawing in a deep breath as Vel reached for the door handle, Zane closed his eyes, feeling every beat his heart made, and praying hard, 'Please start the car. I still want to be the man she fell in lo

When Emma's eyelids raised, a smile graced her lip at the sight of Zane staring down at her, and she whispered, “I wasn't dreaming. You are still here.”Smiling, Zane softly stroked her cheek as she closed her eyes again as he murmured, “Of course, I'm here, Em. I promised, remember?”With a content sigh, Emma snuggled closer to him, resting her head against his shoulder, and said, “How could I forget? Last night was one of the best nights of my life.”“Mmmh... Me too. And you have no idea how many times I wanted to kiss you.” Zane replied, making Emma blush heavily. “It's annoying that I fell asleep right away.”With pink cheeks, Emma gave a half-smirk as she gazed at him and said, “Well... You are not asleep anymore...”Knowing what she meant, Zane shifted position, hovering above her, and took a long look at her face before planting a gentle kiss on her forehead, and then he moved to her nose, pecking it softly.Her laugh rang throughout the room as Zane continued kissing every spo

When Yoko walked into the garden, Zane had just gotten off the phone with someone, and he waited for him to acknowledge his presence before drawing a chair. "What did you find out?" Zane asked. "After digging into how Jason got the money to buy off most of Vex's shares, I found no records about a loan with him from any banks," Yoko said as he placed a folder on the table. "But what I did find out is that he has a drinking buddy who is a Loan Officer from Offex bank. The two seemed to have a tight relationship recently." As Zane opened the file to see the photos of Mr. Berry and Briggs coming out of a bar together with two young, attractive girls hugging into their arms, Yoko added, "My guess is, he got the money through some illegal way." "It takes a couple of hundred of thousand to buy off such a large share, and Jason doesn't have the financial standing to get access to a loan of such a huge sum of money. So your assumption is right. We just need to find out how this happened to
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Straight at him
A knock on her office door made Emma raise her head from the documents on her desk and smile at Zane, standing in the doorway with Yoko.“What are you doing here?” Emma laughed as she put her pen down, a smile still lingering on her lips.“We brought you lunch,” Yoko answered as he lifted two bags and Zane stepped forward with three bags, asking, “Is anyone down for some sushi?!”“Yes! I am!” Belinda cheered, jumping up from where she sat by the window, rushing over to the two.She grabbed a bag, and Emma joined them, smiling at Zane who grinned in return as she took one of the bags from his outstretched hands.They all headed over to the couches and plopped their bags into a pile on the table.Soon, the office smelled amazing and it was filled with happy chitchats, laughter, and smiles as they ate and talked.They were so comfortable and cozy and Emma felt herself relaxing, leaning against Zane as she ate.“I can’t believe he would lie though, on your father's name like that. Jason is
The greatest son: Zane strikes back I need the money
Time seemed to be going in slow motion as the car engine sound echoed through the air, and Emma watched from the windshield of her vehicle, tears unknowingly rolling from her eyes as she lost her voice to scream. Belinda on the other hand was shouting at the top of her lungs as she tried to unlock the door, failing at every attempt, "Zane, get out of the way! He's aiming to hit you!"Without thinking, Yoko tried to make a run for it, but he knew the distance between Zane and the car was too short for him to make it, at least to save them both, yet the only thought on his mind was, 'If I can just push him out of the way.'Everything was happening too fast for Zane, the shouting, the speed of the car, and his mind blacked out, his body going into a state of shock, freezing at the realization of what was occurring, all of it happening at once.When he finally accepted his faith, he heard a gut-wrenching scream, "Zane!"Emma's voice made him snap out of it, and he turned to see her throu
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Don't play too dumb
The door to the hospital lobby opened, and Richardson, Velvet, and Greg Taylor walked inside, wearing dark shades and dramatic fluffy coats with really luxurious accessories to highlight their appearance.As they marched toward the front desk, people stared, whispering, in disbelief that they could overdress to come to a hospital.The nurse behind the desk finally looked up at them when Velvet tapped her nails on the wooden surface. "Good morning. How may I help you?" The lady asked with a small smile. Frustrated that the nurse was not recognizing them behind all those materials, Richardson slowly took out his shade, commanding, "Point us to which room our father is in.""And your father is?" The lady asked with genuine concern."Are you kidding me right now?""Sir, I will need your full name and that of the patient too."Richardson's face grew red as though he was about to explode from anger. But as he was about to unleash all of that, Velvet cut in, removing her glasses, and said,

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
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Drop the gun
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
