JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE 47
"Sir, I do not think there is anyone here. We looked around and it seemed like someone had packed a bag. Whoever you hoped to find, they left before we showed up.” a man said to Jaxon.“The damned witch! I’ll make sure I find her and torture her slowly, maybe take her all over again. My dad is in that condition because of her.” He said and upended a table.“So what do we do now?” The man asked him.“Trash it. Whoever left shouldn’t return to a house, at least not in one piece. But first I have something to do.” Jaxon said and made his way to the bedroom.He had had a lot of girls before, willingly and by force and most of them had been grateful and those who didn’t feel that way were only too scared to speak out. He couldn’t bear the thought that this one not only spoke up but was also trying to destroy him.All of this got to him in different ways and he was suddenly excited. He went into the room, locked the door behind him and pulled down his pants.“Sir, can we go ahead now?” the

Barry and his team had already arrived and began to set up for the interview.James had everything under control. With the help of Eric, he was able to restore Augustine's position as a janitor and make him do James shift while James has been taking care of things.He's still yet to reveal himself to the world and only acts as a puppet to Lana. Atleast that's what people think. Even Alisha.“Hey Barry, are we ready?” “Yes James, we are ready but I have a question.” Barry answered.“Yes, what is it?”“I suggest we go live with the interview, there is just no time for us to record it first and then release it.”“So as the interview goes on, everyone can watch it and no time whatsoever would be lost. That is a good idea, let’s roll.” James said.“Paula, you ready? Cameras are going to roll soon.” James asked.“Yes, I am. Let’s do this.”“1,2,3…we’re on.”“Good afternoon everyone, this is Newsweek and I am your host for today, Barry Ortiz and with me here is Paula Raven. It’s good to hav

“I just want to say thank you to everyone for listening to my story and I know there are other girls out there with similar stories but too scared to speak out like I did, I hope the courage to tell my story gives them strength to tell theirs too but most importantly I hope they find good people like I did ready to help them.” Paula concluded.“Thank you so much Paula, I’m sure you are a lot of inspiration to other girls and women out there and thanks once again for being here. And that is it for today, thank you very much, this is Newsweek and I remain your host, Barry Ortiz.” And with that, the interview came to an end and cameras stopped rolling, Paula was free to go back to James, Ellen and Lana.“Thank you so much Paula.” James said and Lana and Ellen took turns to hug her.“No, thank you guys. I couldn’t have done this without you.” she said and they all smiled at her, Lana patted her hair.“I’ll talk to Barry.” James said and strode off to where Barry was arranging stuffs.“Hey

Not for long, Someone caught Jaxon and he was tackled to the ground.“You are under arrest Mr. Jaxon for…” a policeman started.“Wait!” James interrupted.“What do we do for you?”“Paula here would like to say something before you proceed.” James said.“Okay then, she can go ahead.” the policeman said and Paula stepped forward with Lana and Ellen.“You, what more do you want?” Jaxon asked. He looked broken.“True, your face is the last I want to see and I don’t really care what happens to you and so I do not have a lot to say to you right now. You hurt me and up until now you destroyed my life or so I thought. But I found good people and everything and it’s going to be good for me. I just want to let you know that you don’t really hurt me anymore and I forgive you. I have decided to drop the charges. You are free Jaxon.” Paula said and there were tears in her eyes. That must have been a hard decision for her to make.“Wha…What?” Jaxon stammered.“Yes, you are free.” she turned around

“James, El, Paula!” Lana called from outside the door. They were all in Lana’s office, waiting for Lana and then they would all go and have lunch together.“What is it, Lana? You are bursting.” Ellen commented.“Well I should, I’ve got good news.” she said.“Spill then.” James said and Paula just chuckled.“I spoke with that and Mr. Price was there with him. Firstly, he would be leaving tomorrow and so we need to either get you in seat or bring Mr. Wood back and secondly he would not invest in the movie…” she was saying and Ellen cut in.“That is your good news?” Paula looked scared and Ellen looked so confused Lana began to laugh.“No no, I’m not done.” she said between laughter. “Well out with it!” Ellen commanded.“Mr. Price would not invest in the movie ONLY but he is also sponsoring Paula as an actress in Hand of God! She is to fly tomorrow evening after him!” She screamed the last part.Ellen hugged Paula, Lana came in to join and three of them squealed excitedly like a group o

On the way back from the airport, James got a call. It was from Eric Wood.“Hey Eric, I had intended to call you first. How is it going?”“Everything is okay, we...” he stopped and then continued, “Are you driving James? I can always call back later.” Eric said.“No, no it’s fine. You can talk to Lana, she is here with me.” James said and handed the phone over to Lana.“Hey Eric, how are you doing?”“I am fine Lana, thank you. I called to let you know that my daughter is to leave the hospital today and I want to sincerely thank you all for helping us through this trying moment. My daughter is out of danger now and there would be no more relapses for her. Thank you.” He kept saying thank you that Lana had to stop him.“Ohh Eric if you keep saying thank you like that, we wouldn’t know how to feel. We only did what we felt was right and you would have done it too if the roles were reversed and so thank you too for trusting us enough to let us help and for stepping up into the business li

The next morning, James decided to resume back work as a janitor in the company. Augustine has been working his shift, while he has been off for days running around trying to help Ellen when she was in the hospital and then Paula.That morning, when he got to the company, he proceeded to change into the janitor's uniform and began to do his work.He noticed that most of the staff were looking at him in an odd way but he didn't care.They've always treated him poorly or people that associate with him all because they want to appear loyal in Mr. Sterlings presence.“Hello, James,” someone greeted James. He turned around and saw Augustine walking towards him. “Hoy my bro, good morning.” James responded and brought forth his hands for a handshake which Augustine gladly accepted and shook him warmly.“Thank you for bringing me back… I don't know how you did it, but the CEO told me it was all because of you.”“Oh that? I begged him. you know I couldn't let you an innocent man be maltreate

Alisha was still thinking about the whole stuff that happened at the office today.The embarrassment, the disgrace and most of all, her assistant, Anna Davies' opposition.‘How dare Anna Davis disrespect me?,’ she thought. In the past, she used to be loyal but since they made Anna Davis her assistant, things are changing and she can't stand it.She would have to have her removed from her position as assistant manager.When she got home, she saw her dad and Mom in the sitting room having a conversation.“Alisha, come and look at this. Your father is a genius.” Kate called out to Alisha as soon as she came in through the door.“What are you on about now mom?” Alisha asked, taking off her Jacket and sitting by her father and mother.“There is this stock market, Enron Stock exchange, that your dad invested in and in the days since we have been watching, it seems to be doing really well and we are considering investing more into it.” Kate explained to Alisha.“But I haven’t heard anything

Chapter 397
Chapter 397Morning broke with a dull glow, illuminating the quiet safe house nestled deep in the woods. Inside, tension hung thick in the air. Williams was standing near the window with a phone pressed to his ear, speaking in a calm but calculated tone.“We’ve got your son, Charles,” he said, his voice steady. “But we haven’t located Jaxon.”On the other end of the line, Mr. Sterling’s voice cracked with emotion. “Charles? Is he safe? Are you sure?” Relief flooded his tone, but it was quickly shadowed by anxiety. “What about Jaxon? Did you find him? Is there anything—anything—leading up to him?”Williams let out a quiet sigh, one that sounded more like practiced patience than genuine concern. “That’s all we could manage,” he replied. “The men who took Jaxon still have him, and from what we’ve gathered, they plan to kill him if there’s any interference.”Mr. Sterling was silent for a beat, processing the grim news. Then, his voice rose, tinged with panic. “What do I do now? How do I

Chapter 396
Chapter 396James and Gregor stepped out of their concealed position in the underbrush as the taillights of the SUV disappeared into the darkness. The cool night air was eerily silent now, broken only by the faint rustling of leaves and the muffled sounds of wildlife in the distance. The ground beneath their boots crunched softly as they moved toward the aftermath of the chaos they had just witnessed.Gregor’s eyes scanned the scene, his face expressionless as he took in the lifeless bodies sprawled across the area. Three of them, including Ben they once held, lay motionless, their weapons discarded and their blood staining the dirt beneath them.Gregor crouched beside one of the bodies, briefly checking for a pulse, though he already knew there was none. Standing, he shook his head and muttered, “Well, that’s the life they’ve chosen for themselves.”James, standing a few steps behind him, remained silent for a moment, his sharp eyes darting around the scene. The faint glow of the moo

Chapter 395
Chapter 395The shadows of the dilapidated bunker stretched long under the moonlight as Williams and his team lay in wait. They had taken up position hours earlier, tucked inside Jaxon’s sleek sports car, the dark, polished metal blending seamlessly into the night. The air inside the vehicle was stifling, thick with tension and the faint metallic tang of gun oil. Every man was armed and ready, their nerves wound tight, waiting for the right moment to strike. Williams sat in the driver’s seat, his hands resting casually on the steering wheel, though his eyes never left the rearview mirror. Beside him, Kane sat rigid, one hand gripping Jaxon’s arm firmly while the other rested on the stock of a shotgun lying across his lap. In the cramped sports car, Tom and Dorian crouched uncomfortably in the trunk, their weapons at the ready, waiting for Williams’ signal.The silence inside the car was shattered when headlights cut through the darkness. A single car approached, its rumbling engine e

Chapter 394
Chapter 394The dense canopy of the forest loomed overhead, casting long shadows over the makeshift campsite where James and Gregor had been holed up for days. The air was damp, thick with the earthy scent of moss and pine, and the distant call of nocturnal creatures echoed through the stillness.Gregor sat cross-legged on the damp ground, his eyes glued to the small tablet in his lap. A blinking red dot pulsed steadily on the screen—the nano tracker they’d planted on Ben’s phone.For three grueling days, they’d followed that dot from one hideout to another, staying just far enough away not to be detected. They’d spent their nights in the car or in the bush, catching only brief moments of sleep between shifts of surveillance.Tonight was no different, and Gregor’s tired eyes burned as he watched the screen, hoping for any sign of movement.James lay stretched out on the ground beside him, his jacket pulled over his face to block out the faint moonlight filtering through the trees.

Chapter 393Jack paced back and forth in the dimly lit room, his gun laid out on the table as he meticulously assembled and armored it. Each metallic click echoed in the stale air, punctuating the tense atmosphere.They had to switch hideouts when Ben rejoined them, in case he was being tailed. Jack carefully considered the situation and concluded that bringing him back into the operation as an additional resource would be a wise decision, just in case they encountered any unexpected challenges but he made sure they switch hideout from time to time. But their main exchange point was still the old bunker because it has a lot of escape routes and underground tunnels.Ken was nearby, double-checking their supply of ammunition, while Denver and Ben lounged on an old, battered couch, their excitement barely contained.“Finally, we’re getting out of this shithole with a bundle of millions,” Denver said to Ben, leaning back with a smug grin. He flicked a discarded cigarette butt into the cor

Chapter 392
Chapter 392The evening sky was a dusky orange, streaked with long trails of purple as the sun dipped below the horizon. Williams parked the sleek, black car that Mr. Sterling had secured for him—a high-profile Lamborghini that was both remarkable and practical for what was about to go down.The tinted windows gleamed faintly in the fading light as he stepped out, dressed in a dark hoodie and jeans. He adjusted the baseball cap on his head and pulled it lower to obscure his face further.Kane was already waiting near the edge of the gravel lot, leaning casually against a rusted lamp post that barely flickered to life. His stance was relaxed, but his eyes darted around, sharp and alert. A few paces away, Tom and Dorian lingered by the entrance to the abandoned warehouse, their conversation low but punctuated with short laughs.Williams approached Kane with purposeful strides. Without a word, he gestured for Kane to follow him a short distance away from the others.“They ready?” William

Chapter 391
Chapter 391Andrew’s pen hovered over the page. “Eric Wood? The CEO of EMC?”“Yes,” Sterling said, his voice steady now, laced with conviction. “He’s had a vendetta against my family for months. He’s jealous of our success, our influence. And now, with everything happening at EMC, I wouldn’t put it past him to stoop this low. My two sons were kidnapped in a sparse of a few weeks. Is it not strange?”Andrew tilted his head, his expression skeptical. “That’s a serious accusation, Mr. Sterling. Do you have any evidence to support this?”Mr. Sterling sighed heavily, as though burdened by the weight of his own claim. “Not concrete evidence, no. But think about it. He has the resources, the motive. And I heard through some… private channels that he’s been meeting with unsavory characters lately. People who could easily pull off something like this.”Andrew jotted a few notes, his pen moving quickly. “I see. I’ll look into it. But you understand we can’t act on hearsay alone.”“Of course, of

Chapter 390
Chapter 390As soon as Mr. Sterling ended the call with Williams, he hurried to his closet, throwing on a sleek navy suit and matching tie. His hands trembled slightly as he adjusted the knot, but he steeled himself, taking a deep breath.This wasn’t just a favor for Williams; it was a calculated move to get his two sons back. Grabbing his keys, he rushed out of his mansion, the elevator ride to the ground floor feeling agonizingly slow.When he finally stepped outside, the cool morning air bit at his face, but he paid it no mind. His black sedan waited at the curb, and he climbed in, starting the engine with a growl. As he sped toward Sky Suite, he rehearsed the lies he might need to tell to retrieve Jaxon’s car.The towering Sky Suite hotel loomed ahead, its modern glass facade gleaming brightly under the early morning sun. As Mr. Sterling approached the entrance, his stomach tightened. The sight of two patrol cars parked near the lobby entrance made his pulse quicken. Uniformed off

Chapter 389
Chapter 389As soon as Kane received the message from Tom that Jaxon had finally broken under the pressure and confessed, he immediately pulled out his phone and dialed Williams. His tone was sharp, clipped, and direct as he relayed the crucial information.“He finally talked,” Kane said without any preamble. “He’s given up Jack’s location—some bunker near the old docks.”Williams, on the other end of the line, didn’t respond right away. The faint sound of tapping, likely his pen against his desk, filled the silence. “Good,” Williams finally said, his voice steady but tinged with calculation. “Did he say anything about how many men Jack has with him?”“Yeah,” Kane replied. “Three, including Jack himself. He said one of them ran away. It’s a small crew.”Williams let out a low hum of approval. “That’s manageable. We’ve got the numbers, four to three. Here’s the plan,” he said, leaning forward in his chair. “You’re going to prep Jaxon to lead you straight to the bunker. He’s our key. Ma
