JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 305
Chapter 305Meanwhile, Williams pulled up behind them. He watched from his vantage point as Jaxon and Ken exited the car. He could barely make out their figures in the dim lighting of the park, but he knew what was about to happen.His stomach churned with unease. Jaxon was always reckless, but this plan… kidnapping his father's family? It was beyond dangerous—it was suicidal and everything could backfire at him. He stayed back, keeping his distance, but close enough to follow without being seen. His heart pounded in his chest as he carefully maneuvered his car to a darker, more concealed spot, watching as Jaxon and Ken moved toward the play area with the thugs following closely behind.Williams clenched his jaw, tension creeping up his spine. *This is it,* he thought. *Once Jaxon makes his move, there’s no going back.* He took a deep breath, weighing his options.He could let Jaxon carry out the plan, or he could step in, stop this madness before it escalated further. But then what?
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 306
Chapter 306The scene was chaotic. Mr. Sterling's baby mama ran after the men, her cries filling the air as she pleaded for her child’s life.But the thugs, unfazed by her desperation, continued toward the SUV, the child's screams growing fainter as they got closer to the vehicle. All the while, Jaxon watched from the shadows, his expression cold, unmoved by the heart-wrenching scene unfolding before him.Ken, standing next to him, kept a watchful eye on the situation, ensuring everything went according to plan. His gaze flickered toward Jaxon for approval, but Jaxon said nothing, his eyes fixed on the thugs as they carried out his orders. Meanwhile, Mary, still cradling Claire, tried to console her while keeping her own rising terror at bay. She glanced over at the Mr. Sterling's baby mama, who was now on her knees, crying and shouting for her child.As Mr. Sterling's baby mama frantically ran toward the thugs, her desperate cries echoing through the park, one of the kidnappers — a

Chapter 307"Are both of you alright?" Eric asked, breathless, as he clung to his wife, Mary, and daughter, Claire. His heart pounded in his chest as he held them close, scanning them for any signs of harm.Claire, still trembling, buried her face into his chest, while Mary, her face pale and tear-streaked, nodded, though her hands shook as they gripped his arm tightly."We're okay," Mary whispered, her voice fragile, "but Cynthia… they took her, Eric. Right in front of us." Her voice cracked as she pointed in the direction where the kidnappers had vanishedThe moment Eric received the frantic call from his wife, Mary, explaining what had happened, he didn’t waste a second. His heart pounding in his chest, he had rushed out his office door, barely taking the time to catch his breath as he hurried toward the park.On his way to the park, he had immediately dialed the police. With urgency in his voice, and had reported the situation, detailing everything Mary had told him about the kidna
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 308
Chapter 308Mr. Sterling sat in his dimly lit office, staring at the phone in disbelief after the conversation with Gwen, his baby mama. He had kept her hidden for years—nobody, not even his closest associates, knew she existed, let alone that they had a child together. So when she had first called him earlier, frantic and crying, telling him about what happened at the park, he had refused to believe it.He thought it was another one of her schemes to squeeze more money out of him.“Gwen, stop with the nonsense,” he had snarled into the phone, his voice cold and threatening. “What are you trying to pull this time? You know I won’t tolerate you using Charles for your little tricks.”Gwen’s sobs on the other end of the line only intensified, but Mr. Sterling had been too caught up in his own anger to care. He had threatened her, warned her that she was playing a dangerous game.But now, as he sat there, after turning on his TV and news of the kidnapping in the park flashing across his
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 309
Chapter 309Morris Huggo had worked with Mr. Sterling for many years, long enough to know the man better than most. He’d been by his side through countless business deals, shady ventures, and risky decisions. He’d witnessed Sterling’s ruthless rise to power and learned to navigate his temper and unpredictable moods.But in all that time, despite knowing the ins and outs of Mr. Sterling's public life, Morris had never imagined there was another side to the man—a side that included a secret family.The revelation that Mr. Sterling had a baby mama and a child completely blindsided him. It was something Morris would’ve never guessed in a million years.Mr. Sterling had always kept his personal life tightly sealed, presenting himself as an untouchable figure with no strings attached. But now, this kidnapping had unveiled a part of his life Morris never knew existed.He stood there, still reeling from the bombshell, trying to process it all. The idea that his boss, Mr. Sterling, the man kno
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 310
Chapter 310After what felt like an eternity of lurking in his car, Morris finally saw the police vehicle roar to life, its lights flashing as it began to drive out of the park.Morris sat up straighter in his car, his mind racing as he prepared to execute his plans. In the distance, he could still see Eric Wood, his wife and daughter, and Gwen—Mr. Sterling’s baby mama—standing together.He could see Eric helping his wife and daughter into their car, a normal family scene that felt painfully mundane given the chaos brewing beneath the surface.Eric got into the front seat, and started the car.Morris had been waiting for this moment but as the car back doors opened, his stomach twisted with anxiety.Just as he was about to make his move, Gwen unexpectedly joined them, slipping into the backseat.A surge of frustration washed over Morris. He quickly pulled out his phone and dialed Mr. Sterling’s number, his heart pounding as he waited for the connection.“Mr. Sterling, it’s Morris,” h
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 311
Chapter 311The phone was on loudspeaker, and Jaxon, who was seated nearby, had heard every word his father had exchanged with the kidnappers.Ken was beside him and they're both smoking. The smoke from their cigarettes curled into the air, mingling with the tense atmosphere of the room.Jaxon’s eyes flicked up briefly from his phone but returned to it as though the whole conversation didn’t concern him. Finally, his father will pay dearly, he thought.Across the room, Jackson, the kidnapper with the prominent scar across his cheek, ended the call and tossed the phone onto the table with a careless thud.He turned around, his expression cold and calculating, and he ordered the two other kidnappers who were holding the boy, “Take the kid away.”The two men nodded without hesitation, each grabbing one of the boy’s arms and dragging him into the back room. The child’s muffled cries faded as the door shut behind them.Jackson watched them go, his eyes narrowing slightly, before walking ov

Chapter 312“I think you might want to hear this,” Eric said as soon as the call connected, his voice tense. James groaned, rubbing his eyes as he rolled over in bed. “What is it?” he asked groggily, his voice thick with sleep. He had barely slept the night before, his mind racing over everything that was happening. The stress of work, the drama surrounding EMC, and now this sudden call from Eric—it was all too much to handle.Eric didn’t waste time. “It’s about a kidnapping case,” he said quickly, his words rushing out like water breaking through a dam. “It happened yesterday. Mary called me—”“What?” James interrupted, sitting up suddenly in bed, his heart pounding. “Mary? Claire? Are they okay? What happened?”Eric sighed, hearing the panic in James' voice. “They’re fine. They weren’t harmed, but…” He paused, and James could hear the hesitation, the weight of what was coming next.“But what?” James demanded, anxiety creeping into his voice as he kicked off the sheets and swung his

Chapter 420: Alive?Liam Carter was leaning casually against the doorframe, arms crossed, his expression unreadable.He had been watching the fight.Observing.Calculating.And now, he had chosen the perfect moment to interrupt.Liam’s smirk was slight, but there was amusement in his eyes. “Well, well,” he drawled, his voice smooth. “I knew you had a personal vendetta, but I didn’t think you’d go for it this quickly.”Kai’s grip on the dagger didn’t loosen. His breathing was steady, but his anger was still boiling beneath the surface.“This isn’t your concern.” His voice was cold, sharp.Liam chuckled softly. “Oh, but it is. Everything that happens in this company is my concern now.”Williams coughed weakly, blood dripping from his mouth as he tried to push himself up.Kai’s hand twitched, but before he could make another move, Liam straightened, his eyes darkening just slightly. “That’s enough, Kai.”It wasn’t a suggestion.It was a command.And for the first time, Kai hesitated.Bec

Chapter 419: The Shadow behind himAs soon as they left Liam’s executive office Lina walked beside Kai, her eyes flickering over the sleek office layout of EMC. The company was undeniably impressive—modern, efficient, and filled with professionals who looked like they had their entire lives figured out.Yet here she was, a former college dropout, now working in the corporate world among men like Liam Carter and Kai Nakamura. Mysterious. Dangerous. Powerful.She exhaled softly and adjusted the strap of her handbag. “So,” she finally said, glancing at Kai. “What exactly is my job here? Because as far as I know, I have no official title, no formal role, and no one’s given me a job description.”Kai smirked, hands tucked into his pockets as he walked. “You assist me. That’s your job.”Lina raised a brow. “Assist you how? Like your personal secretary? Your bodyguard? Your emotional support human?”Kai chuckled, shaking his head. “You wish. I don’t need emotional support.”Lina snorted. “Ri

Chapter 418: A secret between usAs soon as the meeting ended, Alisha had barely settled back into her office when her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID—Mrs. Jenkins.Taking a deep breath, she answered. “Good afternoon, ma’am.”“Alisha,” Mrs. Jenkins’ voice came through, calm but firm. “I need you in my office immediately.”Alisha’s stomach twisted slightly. Had something gone wrong during the meeting? She quickly grabbed a notepad and made her way to the HR Director’s office.Inside, Mrs. Jenkins was seated behind her desk, reviewing documents. She looked up and gestured for Alisha to sit.“You’ve been chosen to show Liam Carter around the company,” she stated, setting the papers aside.Alisha blinked, surprised. “Me?”“Yes. Since you oversee the junior staff and know the company well, it makes sense.”Alisha hesitated, unsure how to respond. She wasn’t nervous about the task itself, but why hadn’t Liam told her about this whole acquisition before today? They had been secretly
Chapter 417: The meeting
Chapter 417: The meetingThe atmosphere in the boardroom was thick with tension. The long mahogany table, polished to a shine, was occupied by the most powerful figures at EMC. At the head sat Mr. Sterling, his sharp eyes scanning the room as if he could bend the situation to his will by sheer force. Across from him sat Liam Carter, relaxed but in full control, his presence commanding attention.Eric Wood, standing at the front of the room, cleared his throat. His fingers clutched the stack of documents in his hands, but despite his professional demeanor, there was something off about him—something weighed down by an invisible force.“As you all know, we are here to finalize the acquisition deal,” Eric said, his voice steady but lacking its usual authority. “Liam Carter has made an offer to purchase fifty percent of EMC, and after thorough discussions, we have decided to proceed with this agreement as it meets the company’s and the government’s requirements.”The murmurs started almos

Chapter 416: A Morning of SurprisesThe morning sun spilled through the curtains, casting soft golden light across Alisha Carl’s bedroom. She lay still for a moment, her body relaxed beneath the sheets, when her phone vibrated on the nightstand.Blinking against the light, she reached for it, her lips curving into a slow smile when she saw the name on the screen. Liam Carter.She answered, bringing the phone to her ear.“Good morning, stranger.”His deep, smooth voice greeted her. “Morning, beautiful. Hope I’m not waking you.”Alisha stretched lazily, still curled up in bed. “Not really. I was about to get up.”“Liar. You sound too comfortable.”She smirked. “Maybe.”A soft chuckle rumbled through the speaker. “Did you sleep well?”“Mmm… kind of.”“Bad dreams?”“No, just… thinking too much.”Liam hesitated, then his voice dropped slightly. “About what?”She bit her lip, debating whether to tell him. But instead, she dodged. “Nothing important.”“Lies.”Alisha sighed. “Fine. I was thin
Chapter 415
Chapter 415The Wood residence in Diamondville was silent except for the ticking of the clock on the wall. The usually cozy living room, filled with soft lighting and warm-colored furniture, felt suffocating under the weight of frustration and desperation. A storm was brewing, not outside, but within the hearts of the people gathered there.Eric Wood sat on the edge of the couch, his hands clasped together, eyes fixed on the coffee table as if searching for answers within its polished surface. Beside him, his wife Mary leaned back against the cushions, her arm wrapped around Gwen Greene, who sat stiffly, her fingers tightly gripping the fabric of her jeans. Her red-rimmed eyes were proof of the battle she had been fighting—one that she was losing.James Wane stood near the window, his arms crossed, his sharp gaze observing the street outside as if expecting trouble at any moment. Unlike the others, he wasn’t drowning in emotions. He was thinking, calculating, waiting for the right mom

Chapter 414Fifteen minutes later, The Sterling estate loomed in the darkness, its iron gates already open, waiting for Williams’ arrival. The driveway was lined with expensive cars, the polished surfaces reflecting the dim glow of the outdoor lights.Williams parked near the entrance, killed the engine, and sat there for a moment. He could see Mr. Sterling standing at the top of the steps, flanked by two of his men, Morris Huggo and another unknown guard.Taking a deep breath, Williams stepped out of the car. The cool air hit his face, but he didn’t flinch. He walked around to the back and yanked open the door.“Come get him.”The two guards moved quickly, lifting Jaxon Sterling from the backseat. He groaned as they dragged him toward the house. Williams watched with mild amusement.Mr. Sterling’s gaze followed his son before settling on Williams. His expression was unreadable, but the tension in his jaw was clear.“How bad is it?” Sterling finally asked, his voice low.Williams shru

Chapter 413Meanwhile, that Sunday evening, Williams called Mr. Sterling to transfer the money for Jaxon’s release.He was inside the Range Rover car Mr Sterling had given him to avoid Kane, Tom and Dorian to know what’s going on. The phone rang twice before Mr. Sterling’s sharp voice came through.“Tell me you have my son.”Williams smirked, glancing out the window over at the unconscious Jaxon, who was slumped against the wall, his wrists loosely tied in front of him. His face was swollen, a deep cut above his eyebrow still fresh.“I have him,” Williams said, his voice smooth.There was a pause on the other end, then the cold reply. “Good! It’s done.”Williams exhaled slowly. “Good? Now, listen—I barely convinced the kidnappers to let him go. They weren’t happy about it, saying you messed with their boss, but luckily I knew one of them and gave them the money you sent. They took it and agreed to drop it. No loose ends. Although a few wanted more money.”Mr. Sterling’s voice was unre

Chapter 412Liam Carter stood on the balcony, swirling the amber liquid in his glass as he watched the Rolls-Royce glide smoothly into the driveway below. The headlights cut through the evening dimness, casting long shadows across the estate’s stone-paved entrance. He exhaled slowly, leaning against the railing.Kai had already told him over the phone how things had gone down in Red Waters. The mission was completed, and somehow, Kai had decided to bring a girl back with him—an assistant, he had said. Liam found that strange. Kai wasn’t the type to get involved with anyone, much less take someone under his wing. But then again, Kai was full of surprises.He downed the rest of his drink, placed the glass on a nearby table, and made his way downstairs.By the time he stepped outside, Kai was already out of the car, standing beside a young woman who looked hesitant, almost as if she wasn’t sure whether to move or stay put. She had wide eyes, taking in the mansion with an expression that
