Already having an awful gut feeling about the conversation, Emma frowned as she asked, “What about them?”

“Well, the receptionist claimed that she reached Ava earlier and your cousin claimed that your grandparents traveled out of the country after agreeing to sell Vex co. away, and you are the only one who has ties to the company-”

“That’s insane. Grandpa would never...! Where is Ava and the others now?”

“Not at the company. This I know because she said so.”

“Thank you, Luke. I got to go.”

After ending the call, Emma looked at Belinda and said, “We got to get to the Taylor Mansion. My grandparents are missing.”

“What?” Belinda asked, stunned.

“I will explain in detail on the way.”

“Okay,”

The two grabbed their belongings and walked off with the bodyguards, and Emma could feel herself tearing up, not knowing why she was suddenly becoming emotional.

The atmosphere within the walls of the Taylor mansion was tense as everyone looked at Logan, who stood in front of them, a cold a

    A knock on the bedroom door made Zane look back at it and sigh before getting up from the bed. When he opened the door, he found Yoko standing there, and he stepped aside for him to come in. After walking into the room and waiting for Zane to shut the door, Yoko stated, “It’s safe to say today is the day. I have been monitoring Mr. Hester, and after a month of recovery, he has shown up at his company for three days straight, at eight o'clock, which means-”“We have a chance today.” Zane said, looking over at him, and Yoko gave him a small smile and nodded. “Then we set the plan for seven o'clock this morning.”Stepping away from Yoko, Zane headed to his closet and opened it, reaching for a black hoodie before stopping and saying, “About the other thing?”“We have no lead yet, boss. There are no records at any airline about Mr. and Mrs. Taylor buying tickets to leave the country.” Yoko said.A dull ache hit Zane’s heart at the thought of what this meant for Emma, and then he took out

    Just as Zane had instructed, news about Mr. and Mrs. Taylor's disappearance was all over the media like wildfire the next morning, and Mr. Alfred made sure that it was what every news platform was talking about.“Mr. and Mrs. Taylor had suddenly gone missing, and the police, FBI, and a few other authorities are on high alert as they search for the couple. A five million dollar reward has been offered for any leads or information regarding Mr. Taylor and his wife.” Turning to face Yoko as the news’ Lady's voice echoed in his ear, Zane said, “Searching in silence for a month might have set us back, but I trust there will be three outcomes from this new approach we have taken. One, Mr. and Mrs. Taylor are out there enjoying themselves, the news could draw their attention, and Emma would get a call from them or something..”With a shrug, Yoko said nothing, but thirty days of searching had made him doubtful that the couple had even left the country.“Secondly, if they are in danger, then

    The yard was crowded with police cars, including a squad car, a crime scene van, News Media vans, and an ambulance. "I had nothing to do with this! Why am I being arrested!" Ava cried at the top of her lung as the officers escorted her, Logan, and Elizabeth out of the house. The lights from cameras were all in their faces as the reporters shouted questions at them."What initiated you guys sinister plan?" Someone shouted from the crowd, causing a swarm of flashing cameras and microphones to suddenly come at them.Covering her face, Ava struggled against the police grip on her and screamed, "I am a victim here. I never knew my father had done something this... this heinous. I was only trying to be a good daughter and following my parent's request when they asked me just today to join them and help with something important. I never knew it was going to be this drastic."But within a split second, her heart ran cold when she heard a loud cry, "Liar! Liar! You are a heartless child! How

    When Deborah walked into the living room and saw Jason drinking a glass of wine so early in the morning, she couldn't help staring.A dark look crossed his face at her presence, and he glared back at her, commending, "You are ruining my mood. Get out!""This is my husband's house. I have every right to be in here." She smugly said as she sat down on the armrest, crossing her legs.Jason rolled his eyes, not bothering to dignify that with a response as he forgot the glass and drank from the bottle again before setting it down on the counter by his chair as the strong smell of the alcohol wafted up towards her nostrils."What a horrible thing happened to Mr. Taylor... With losing Vex co. to you and getting kidnap... Isn't it good that he came out of it alive?" Deborah asked as innocently as possible. "Don't try to pick words from my mouth and get out!" Jason spat back. His voice was still gruff, full of anger.Unmoved, Deborah raised an eyebrow as she slowly said, "Well, I didn't as

    The hallway was quiet, but the tension was getting to Jason, especially since Emma hadn't stopped glaring at him since he told her that, and Mr. Alfred kept shooting daggers at him. "You want my shares in Vex Co. Why?" Emma questioned with suspicion in her voice, her eyes narrowing into little slits."Well, you seem busy with Blueprint Tech, and I just wanted to take the load off your shoulder and free you from the stress of operating two companies. Plus, you said you didn't want anything to do with Vex Co., so..." Jason trailed off and sighed, "Look, you gotta believe me, okay? We are on the same team, and I want to serve the Alfreds. After the hurt they caused you, I believe turning the company over to me would satisfy your thirst for revenge. But if that's not what you want-" "Get your lawyer, and meet me at the Olive Garden, and we can take this conversation further. '' Emma said, emotion suddenly lost behind her dull eyes. In disbelief that Emma agreed to everything he said w

    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

    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

    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.

  • 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

    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

    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!

    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

    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
