JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 268
Chapter 268Eric and Mary found themselves sitting quietly on the couch in their cozy living room. The evening had settled into a peaceful lull, with the soft glow of the lamp casting a warm light over the room. Claire had already been tucked into bed, leaving the couple to enjoy a rare moment of quiet together.Mary, feeling the weight of the silence, took a bite of the dessert she had brought out—a slice of her homemade pie—before finally breaking the quiet. “So, how was your day?” she asked gently, her eyes searching Eric’s face for any sign of how he was feeling.Eric smiled at her, though it didn’t quite reach his eyes. “It was...eventful,” he began, taking a moment to gather his thoughts. “Work was the usual hustle, but I also went to visit Liam Carter at the hospital.”Mary’s brow furrowed slightly with concern. “Liam Carter?” she repeated, setting her plate aside. “How is he doing? And how did the visit go?”Eric leaned back against the couch, his expression thoughtful. “He’s

Chapter 269Just as Eric and Mary were settling into their comfortable silence, Eric's phone began to ring, cutting through the quiet of the room. He reached for it and saw James's name flashing on the screen. With a sigh, he stood up from the couch and walked over to the window, answering the call."James," Eric greeted, trying to keep his tone neutral, though the underlying tension was palpable. "How are you?""Eric," James replied, his voice steady but with an edge of curiosity. "I'm good. I just wanted to check in with you—how did your visit to Liam Carter go? Anything I should know?"Eric glanced back at Mary, who was watching him with a concerned expression, before turning his attention back to the call. "It went about as expected, I suppose," Eric began. "Liam was...well, Liam. He was in a decent mood, considering the circumstances. We talked for a bit, but it felt like he was fishing for something, testing the waters."James's voice took on a more serious tone. "Testing the wa

Chapter 270The morning broke with a critical task at hand for Williams and Sasha. They were holed up in their hotel room at Sky Suite, going over the final details of the night’s plan. The air in the room was thick with tension, mingling with the acrid scent of cigarette smoke as Sasha leaned against the windowsill, her eyes narrowed in concentration.Williams sat at the small, round table in the center of the room, his fingers drumming rhythmically on the wooden surface. The room was dimly lit, with only a sliver of sunlight cutting through the curtains, casting a narrow beam across the table. His gaze was fixed on the detailed floor plan of Sky Care Hospital, the designated route marked out in bold red ink."Are you listening, Sasha?" Williams' voice cut through the haze of smoke, sharp and demanding.Sasha took a long drag from her cigarette, the tip glowing a fierce orange before she exhaled slowly, her breath curling in the air like a serpent. "I'm listening," she replied, her t

Chapter 271Meanwhile, on another block in Sky Suites, Jaxon was deep in his own dark thoughts, formulating plans to get back at his father. The anger that had simmered since last night, after their heated confrontation in his father’s office, had not diminished. In fact, it had only grown, fueling his resolve to hit his father where it hurt the most—his other family.Jaxon sat on the edge of the bed, his phone pressed to his ear as he spoke in hushed, urgent tones. On the other end was Ken, his go-to guy for shady dealings, the one man he knew he could trust with something as serious as this.Ken was the leader of a group of thugs, and Jaxon had called him to arrange a kidnapping—a plan to take his father’s other family and hold them hostage. It was a move driven by pure spite, a way to make his father pay for all the years of resentment and neglect Jaxon had endured.As Jaxon spoke, Milly moved quietly behind him, her fingers brushing over his shoulders in a gesture that was meant t
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 272
Chapter 272Milly's fingers flew across her phone screen as she typed a message to Williams, her heart racing slightly at the risk she was taking. **Jaxon plans to kidnap his father’s other family,** she wrote, her eyes darting to Jaxon to ensure he wasn’t paying attention. As she hit send, she kept the phone close, waiting for Williams’ reply.It didn’t take long. Her phone buzzed in her hand, and she glanced down at the screen. **Where is he now?** Williams had typed. **With me,** Milly quickly responded, then hesitated for a moment before typing again, **So, what’s my reward in all of this?** Williams’ response came almost instantly: **That'll be later when you come around the office.** Milly’s lips curled into a small, satisfied smile, but before she could savor the moment, another message from Williams appeared: **So when did he plan to kidnap them?** She hesitated briefly, then turned to Jaxon, who was still lounging on the bed, his focus seemingly elsewhere. "So, when do yo
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 273
Chapter 273After ending the call with Jaxon, Sasha looked over at Williams as he dropped his phone. "So, you're considering the foursome, huh?" she asked with a teasing tone. "I thought you weren’t interested."Williams, his mind already elsewhere, responded absentmindedly, "Yeah, I am now."Sasha raised an eyebrow, noticing his distracted demeanor. "Really? You seem pretty far away for someone who's suddenly interested."Williams barely registered her words, already focused on the situation with Jaxon and Mr. Sterling. "Uh-huh," he muttered, clearly preoccupied.Sasha rolled her eyes, realizing she wasn’t going to get much out of him at the moment. "You’re not even listening," she said, more to herself than to him."Sorry, what?" Williams finally looked at her, snapping back to the present."Never mind," Sasha replied, shaking her head with a sigh. "You’ve got something else on your mind, I can tell."Williams sat in silence, the weight of his own actions pressing heavily on his min

Chapter 274Mr. Sterling was seated behind his large mahogany desk, going over some documents. He looked up as Williams entered, a look of mild surprise crossing his face. "Williams," he said, setting the papers aside. "What brought you here so late? How are you preparing for tonight? How's the assassin, is she all set?”“Everything is under control, Mr Sterling.” Williams responded.“So what brings you to my office? You know we're not supposed to be seen together till Liam is dead.”Williams forced a smile. "I was in the area and thought I’d stop by to discuss a few things that have been on my mind."Mr. Sterling leaned back in his chair, studying Williams with a curious expression. "Go on," he said, gesturing for Williams to take a seat.Williams sat down, his mind racing. He needed to tread carefully. "I’ve been thinking about the security measures around your family," he began, choosing his words carefully. "Given the current climate, it might be wise to increase them, especially

Chapter 275On his way back to the Sky Suite Hotel, Williams' phone buzzed in his pocket. Glancing at the screen, he saw Kate's name flashing and reluctantly answered the call, already anticipating the kind of conversation that awaited him."Hello, Kate," he greeted, forcing a neutral tone."Williams," Kate's voice came through, strained with anxiety. She explained everything that's been going on between her and Richard to him, "...I don’t know what to do. Richard’s been discharged from the hospital, and he’s hellbent on divorcing me. He’s refusing to listen to anyone, not even Pa Aaron."Williams feigned concern, furrowing his brow as if anyone could see his expression. "Wait, what? That's not right, Kate. Richard should listen to reason.""Exactly! That's why I’m calling you," Kate continued, her voice trembling. "You’ve always had a good relationship with Richard. Maybe you could talk to him, get him to rethink this. You know he respects you... and you used to help us out financial

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 393
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
