The greatest son: Zane strikes back I won't forgive you
Hardening his jaw, Zane glared at Mr. Briggs, laying on the bed, and he said, "Don't call me that. You told me that I am not your son!”For a while, the two didn’t say a word, just staring at each other, and then Zane asked, “What happened to you?”“It was Deborah… The one who poisoned your mother... It was her.” Mr. Briggs said as he started coughing violently.Rage boiling through his veins, Zane felt his chest tighten, his heart skipping a beat for a second before beating normally once more, and then he said, “Tell me why I shouldn’t leave you here like you deserved.”Silence filled the air for a few moments, but as he continued to glare at him, the silence became unbearable to Zane, so he asked again, “How many times have I told you to tell me the truth?”Taking several heavy breaths, Mr. Briggs tried to speak, but couldn’t make any noise, so he closed his eyes and lowered his head, unable to keep eye contact with Zane.“Answer me,” Zane repeated with more force.Finally, Mr. Brigg

The greatest son: Zane strikes back the villain in this story
Sitting in the private room, Zane watched Dr. Norseman and his team attend to Mr. Briggs, injecting IVs into his veins as they hook a bunch of equipment on him.The scene, for Zane, was something he could relate to, since this was literally him at a young age, spending his days in doctor Ben's ward. It took a couple of hours for the crowd in the room to reduce and all those while, Zane was there, not taking his eyes off Mr. Briggs, who was also staring at him with mixed emotions written on his face.Afterward, when it was just Mr. Norseman, Zane, and Mr. Briggs in the room, Dr. Norseman approached Zane and said, “Unlike your mother and your case, the poison in your father's system is not fatal-”“I guess Deborah wanted to take a much slower time killing him,” Zane mumbled, but the doctor heard him loud and clear, yet he was afraid to ask a follow-up question, knowing the danger that that could put his life in.“We have started the treatment of detoxing it out of his system, and his s
The greatest son: Zane strikes back let the adults handle it
The silence was deafening as Zane studied Mr. Briggs's determined eyes, rage beaming in his, and then Mr. Briggs closed his eyelids, ready for whatever Zane was going to do to him next.It took a while, but nothing happened, and then Mr. Briggs felt a warm liquid hit the skin of his palm, and a wave of guilt like never before tear through him, devouring his sense of pride and ego, breaking down his walls of selfishness and anger, and left him with nothing but regret, self-loathing, and pain.When the second drop hit his palm, he squeezed his eyelids, feeling a sense of remorse squeeze his heart, making him feel ashamed and remorseful.“I wish that you were right… that you are not my father. Then I wouldn’t have to grieve about not haven’t any parent.” Zane whispered, still staring at Mr. Briggs's wet hand.Taking this as a threat, Mr. Briggs shut his eyes and prepared for Zane to put him out of his misery of guilt and shame, but then he heard him say, “We are even now. You saved my lif
The greatest son: Zane strikes back The beginning of the storm
Dressed in black leggings, black shorts, and a gray hoodie jacket, Zane jogged down the sidewalk. His headphones were pressed to his ears as he hummed along with some music, blocking out the noise from the outside world and his thoughts.He had just finished running around the block and was heading back to the apartment when he heard his phone buzz in his pocket. For a second he hesitated, hating the thought of coming back to reality, and then he pressed his earbud, accepting the call.“Hello, boss. I know you are on a break and you need your rest, but there's been an issue at the company.” Mr. Parker's voice came through.Frowning slightly, Zane stopped dead in his tracks, frowning. “What kind of issue?”“Well, the finished product for Mr. Bradley, Mr. Jacob Curtis, and Richard Kiyoshi... The product got destroyed. I don't know what happened, but when I arrived at the office, Axel informed me that he was someone who had smashed all of the equipment, shattering them into pieces. I
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Old Enemies
After hurrying to her boss, Emily said in a low voice, “Sir, Mr. Bradley, Mr. Jacob Curtis, and Richard Kiyoshi are here. I was just about to call you and let you know. They seem angry and demanding to meet you.”It didn't make sense that the three would be here and mad when he had not called either of them, and the fact that they were only proved Zane's guess right. This was a setup to destroy his credibility and his reputation in the business cycle.“Where are they?” Zane asked.“Well, I told them to wait in the boardroom,” Emily paused and glanced nervously at Emma, “but they are pretty determined to meet you.”Wanting to get this over with, Zane sighed heavily, then said, "Let's go,”With a nod, Emily led the couple to the boardroom and Zane pushed the doors open once they reached the entrance to the room. Inside, he spotted the three people standing together, looking straight ahead, their jaws clenched and their eyes glistened with anger.“Good morning, Mr. Bradley, Mr. Curtis.
The greatest son: Zane strikes back We meet again, Zane Grimes
Although Zane's words were clear, Emma seemed lost by their meaning and he could tell, so Zane elaborated, saying, "I don't trust Mr. Parker, but it's pretty obvious that this is a setup against him too. Like, it doesn't make sense that he would sabotage the products, announce his name to our clients, and then call me to inform me of it all... And even have the audacity to show up to work in the heat of the moment.”“When you put it like that, I can see how senseless it is for him to be the one behind all of this,” Emma commented, trying to remain calm, though she was a little worried.Picking up his vibrating phone, Zane added, “The Bardots is the only one who has a problem with me and Mr. Parker... But damaging these products will be less beneficial to them and more profitable to NewEra co… And since I have the experience of the two working together, it makes more sense that they are doing the same now.” Then he accepted the call, resting the device on his ear, and asked, “What is i
The greatest son: Zane strikes back Scapegoat
When the doors to club DareDevil opened and Zane walked into the main hall with Yoko, and thirty men, the music died down and the dudes there all turned to look at him.For a club and casino, it looked kind of sketchy tonight because there were no females or workers, and the room was full of males that seemed drawn to the sight of Zane.With each step he and his men took further into the room, their eyes were following him and they had this malicious look on their faces.“Boss, this feels like a trap,” Yoko whispered, walking closed by Zane as three of their men walked in a shield position around Zane, putting him in the middle of all four of them.“It is a trap. The bread crumbs that were left behind by Sebastian weren’t him being sloppy and stupid. It was a well-planned trap to get me here. I can see that now.” Zane mumbled, his face lost in emotion.“If that’s the case, we need to get you out of here-““Sebastian is over there, to our right, at the Black Jack table.” Silently, Yok

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 greatest son: Zane strikes back You made me into this monster
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
