All Chapters of BOUND BY VENGEANCE : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Zane's POV.“What is with the furrowed brows, son?” Jared asked, stepping into the sitting room as he noticed the look on my face. “Did you get into a fight with someone?” “I didn't get into a fight with anyone.” I said, forcing a smile through my lips. “Besides, it's nothing that I can't handle. I just need a few minutes to myself, and I'll be good as new.” As the words left my lips, I righted myself from the couch across the room and proceeded to my room. However, as I was about to walk past him, he gripped my shoulder and held me back.“If someone else had just said those same words to me, then I would have believed it.” he said, looking me straight in the eyes. “However, when it's coming from my son whom I watched grow my childbirth till now, you should know that I can't be deceived. So, it's either you start talking, or we get to the things the hard way. Which would it be boy?” I guess he'll never see me as an adult anyway. I mean, I'm thirty-six for goodness’ sake, yet he kee

Rayna's POV.“I am home now, Sera. You can leave.” I said, standing in front of the door to my apartment. “If anything, I didn't hire you to be my bodyguard, you know that, right?” “Yes, ma'am.” she said, with a subtle nod her head. “However, your safety matters a lot to me.” “And your health matters a lot to me too.” I said, touching her face as I pushed a strand of hair behind her ear while staring into her eyes. “It has been a long day, and you need to get some rest. So, you should leave now. Besides, I didn't see your car in the parking lot today. What happened to it?” “Well, it developed a little fault this morning when I was about to come.” she said, forcing a smile through her lips. “But, it's fine, there's nothing to worry about. I'll get it fixed soon.”“Would you rather I asked my driver to bring you home?” I asked, considering the stress she's been through all day long. “I think that would be the best thing to do.” “No, ma'am.” she said, shaking her head. “I don't think

Zane's POV. Giving my father a piece of my mind is one of the few things I've always wanted to do. Perhaps, he must have felt a fraction of the pain I feel whenever he calls me a boy. But then, that's just the beginning of things yet to come. Should he keep disregarding my capacities then he'll be surprised to see what his doubts will turn me into? In the meantime, I gripped the doorknob, turned it open and then stepped into my room. All I had in mind to do was just to close my eyes and get some rest because I've had enough for the day. Standing in front of the mirror on the wall, I loosened my tie, took it off my neck. And, just as I began to undo the buttons on my shirt, my phone rang. I picked it up from the bedside table and glanced at the screen to know who was calling. It turned out to be Jessica. For one, I thought I made myself clear the last time we met that I want nothing to do with her anymore so, why in the world is she still trying to reach out to me?“What do you want

Rayna's POV.I knew it was only a matter of time before they left. Talking about my mom and uncle. And, I was expecting it. I mean, who would decide to stay after everything I did. For one, they would have realized that they were never welcomed to begin with but then, I am still surprised they stayed that long regardless. In the meantime, Onyx walked past behind me.“Come here,” I called, with an edge to my voice. “What was that for?” If anything, she needed to understand her place as a worker in my house and not an opinion giver. And, for that reason she needn't join any conversation in the house unless she's asked to say something.“I don't understand ma'am.” she said, looking confused than she sounded. “Did I do something wrong?” “Really?” I asked, letting out a laughing scoff. “Are you asking me that right now? Or have you suddenly forgotten what you did earlier? Did I ever ask for your opinion while I was discussing with my neighbor as they called themselves?” I did the air qu

Rayna's POV.For one, I thought that it would be a good idea for Greene to join in the fun. You know, it would be a good opportunity for a perfect start with his son. But of course, I will in no way convince him otherwise. It is completely willingly. If he sees no reason to do so, and decides not to come, then good and fine. However, I only had Ethan's interest best at heart. In the meantime, the line went silent for a few seconds. It was as if I'd just asked of the impossible and his silence? Well, it was loud enough for me to know that he wasn't interested. Or perhaps, he was, but his ego wouldn't allow him and I could understand that. But then, if Ethan's mom would want to spend the day with him, then I don't think it should be different with him as the father.“I do hope that you can understand—” “The fact that you won't be able to come, right?” I asked, stealing the words from his lips as I cut him off. “Well, it is rather obvious and there's nothing to worry about. I just want
