JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE 93
Alisha has been away for a while now looking after her dads after her he got down with a stroke.When she returned, there was lots of news going around.She heard about the Kidnapping of Eric's family and how Eric With the help of the ESU agents were able to rescue them all in one piece.She had also been hearing about a new employee that had ‘saved’ Emerald Multisource Corporation from a virus attack and she couldn’t help but wonder who it was.She had been meaning to find out for herself though but managing EMC and her father’s company at the same time was not easy at all and it always left her so tired and she couldn’t be bothered about some new employee.She just heard some of the girls talking about him and literally swooning over him.She was making her way to the IT department when she saw a familiar figure step out of one of the offices and she was surprised she didn’t move or even blink for some seconds.”William?!” She finally called out, her mouth sagged slightly open and h

“Morris, I have to talk to you about something.” Williams said when he saw Morris Huggo. He had tapped his shoulder from being and planted a micro recorder in his collar without Morris’ idea.“What is this about though? We cannot be seen this close to one another.” Morris reminded him.“Yes I know, but this is important too and I have not been able to get Mr. Sterling.” Williams said.“Okay then, go on, I’ll relay the message to Mr. Sterling when I see him.” Morris said, still walking with Williams close behind him.“The thing is…” Williams started and just then Alisha appeared from the corner and walked straight in their direction. Morris had taken about seven quick steps away from Williams and it didn’t look like they had been walking together.“Hey Morris, Williams.” she barely looked up from the sheaf of papers she was holding, she had not been even been focusing on them.“Whatever it is would have to wait, we can’t talk in company premises.” Morris said looking around and stridin

Inside, Eric greeted him with a warm smile. "James, good to see you. Please, have a seat."“Thank you, Eric. How's work going?”“Fine… You really got Elson really good.” Eric said and laughed very hard.“Oh that?” James replied. “He was too full of himself. And I must show him his place.”“Yes…”James took a deep breath, and tried to calm his nerves, before launching into his questions about the interrogation."So, how did the interrogation go?" James asked.Eric leaned back in his chair, looking thoughtful. "It seems like the criminals don't know much about the mastermind behind their operation. They were just following orders without knowing who was really in charge," he explained."So, what's our next step? How do we find out who's behind this?"Eric sighed and rubbed his forehead. "It's tricky. Right now, our team is trying to trace the phone number that was used to communicate with the criminals. It's a long shot, but it's the best lead we have.""Is there anything I can do to he

Few minutes later, Elson returned with a lunch box and handed it over to James.Although he wanted to disregard the bet, the other senior staff who were present wouldn't let him do it since it would mean bad luck on their side."Good! James said, "Now, you'll do my work for the next week starting from tomorrow.""That's not what the bet says. It's only for one time." Elson retorted."Ha," James laughed. “I was responsible for placing the bet so I have the right to say when it expires.""I disagree," Elson said and tried to walk away.But James looked around at the other senior staff and said, "Will you guys let him walk away? Know that if you don't make him comply, it will mean bad luck for you and your family.""Yes, the rules of the bet is that it lasts for a week." Anna Davis said.The senior staff members all held Elson and said, "Hey we don't want anything bad to happen to our family now comply or we beat you up.""No need to beat him up if he doesn't comply, I'll just report him

BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!…The sound of an emergency alarm and red light filled the air.“What's happening?” Eric asked again as he stepped out of his office.“Another virus attack,” Ms Hart, Eric's secretary said as she ran towards Eric.“This is the fifth in about two weeks. What's going on really?” Eric lamented.Ms. Hart said nothing and just stared on the floor.“And what's the technical department doing about it?” Eric asked.“They are doing all they can to get it out but it's still not going out.”“Is Williams with them?”“Oh no. He hasn't returned from break yet.”“Please get me on the phone with him. He's the only one capable of getting this virus out.” Eric said and walked back into his office.Ms. Hart quickly got Williams on the line with Eric.“Hello Williams.”“Hello, Mr. Wood. What's good?” Williams said lazily from the other end."Williams, I need you to come down to the office right away. We have another virus attack.""Another virus attack? Are you serious?""Yes, unfo

"Williams, The CEO wants to see you.” Ms. Hart, Eric's secretary said and smiled at Williams. She was also proud of him and has made up her mind to date him if he wants to.“Okay…” Williams said and saw Alisha. His face changed because he knew her next move.“Hey, Cuz! You did really great.” Alisha said and tried to hug Williams and prove to Anna Davis and the other ladies that Williams is her cousin for real.But Williams pushed her away, irritably. “Do I know you? Excuse me!” Williams said and turned around. He warned her not to reveal his identity but she wouldn't listen.Anna Davis and the other ladies burst out laughing again.“See, I told you guys, Alisha is a whore.” Anna Davis said.“Slut!” Someone called out again.“This lady never stays at a place. She once dated a janitor and divorced him and then is dating Jaxon. Now she wants to have a taste of Williams too.”“Truly she has no shame.”Alisha's face turned red with embarrassment. She hid her face and was almost close to te

That evening, Williams got dressed and drove to Diamond Ville, where Eric lived. When he arrived at the gate, a security guard stopped him."Who are you?" the security guard asked."I'm Williams Jesse. I'm here to see Mr. Wood," Williams replied."Do you have an appointment?" the guard questioned."No," Williams admitted."Then you need to leave. You can't see him without an appointment," the guard insisted.Williams didn't want to give up so easily. "Listen, I understand the rules, but this is important. If the virus in EMC's system isn't stopped, it could ruin everything. It might even mean you won't get your salary. Worse, you could lose your job."The security guard paused, he was unsure of what to do next. Finally, he said, "Okay, wait here. I'll call Mr. Wood and see what he says."The guard called Eric and explained the situation. "This man, Williams Jesse, is here without an appointment. He's talking about a virus at EMC," the guard said.Eric was hesitant at first. After a mo

"Oh! That? Oh, that was Lana Wane, you know, Ryan Wane's daughter. Sometimes, you have to tell a little lie to women, or they get upset," Williams said, trying to hide the real reason he lied to Lana. The truth of the matter is that he doesn't want her to know about his discussion with Eric. “Are you guys dating?” Eric asked Williams. "Well, sort of. We're just getting to know each other. Talking stage." Williams said. "Oh wow. That's cool and nice," Eric replied. They sat silent for awhile, each deep in his own thoughts before Williams broke the silence. “Forgive my manners Mr. Wood. But I should have asked about your family. You know that's the first time I should have asked you after you singlehandedly rescued them from Gomer Frenté and his men. You saved them from that kidnapper, Gomer Frenté, right? What's the update of the matter? Any clue as to who sent them?" Williams asked. When Williams asked about the kidnap, Eric realized he was in the middle of something before Will

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
