JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 1
It was a late winter night and cold outside. The street was decorated with Christmas lights of various shapes, sizes, and colors.James Wane had just returned home from work with a bouquet of flowers in his hand to surprise his wife, Alisha.It is their third wedding anniversary. He was tired but happy, looking forward to having an intimate night with her tonight just like a few days back.He didn't buy her any gift but he had prepared her favorite dish in the morning before he left for work. He quickly parked his electric bike outside and headed to the door to surprise her with the flowers.As he walked in, he was surprised to see two people seated in the sitting room watching TV. One was a middle-aged woman who looked about 40 years old. She was dressed in an expensive Dior gown and had an expensive Dior bag with the same color as the gown.The other was a young man in his late twenties. He was wearing casual wear. It was the kind of clothing you wear when you're relaxing. A T-shi
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 2
James was still in shock. He had always believed that Alisha loved him as much as he loved her. But It seems that's not the case. The idea of a divorce was unimaginable to him. It was just a few days ago that they had shared an incredibly passionate night together, and he could tell how addicted she was to their lovemaking.He silently wished that this surprise visit from his in-laws was some sort of cruel joke, but as he looked at the divorce papers again and again and recognized Alisha's handwriting, reality hit him. He has been jilted. "Do you believe it now? You simp!" Kate mocked. "You have only but tonight to pack your things and get going. Idiot." Henry added. Alisha had told him that she had been working late at the office recently, using that as an excuse for her continuous absence.Now, it all made sense to him. The truth was hitting him hard. His wife, whom he loved deeply, had signed those divorce papers without his knowledge or consent.To make matters worse, it was

The man on the other end was Ryan Wane, James' uncle, and the younger brother of his mother. Ryan Wane is currently the richest man in the whole of Emerald Falls.He is in charge of all the major companies in the state. He is what you can call the man of the people and everyone loves him because of his philanthropic nature.James's mom was supposed to be the heir of the rich Wanes family, but she died together with her husband when James was a kid. So, James's uncle, Ryan Wanes, had to take charge until James got older.When he knew it was James calling him, he was so excited. He had been looking for James for the past three years after he left home."Oh! James! How are you, son? Where have you been all these years?""I'm good," James replied."Where are you now, James?" His uncle asked him excitedly."I'm safe. I want to tell you two things." James declared."Go on, James. What's this you want to tell me? I will do whatever you ask.""The first is I want to let you know that I'm di
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 4
When Alisha and James got back home, Alisha's mother, Kate, and her brother, Henry, were still in the house. They didn't waste any time and directly inquired about the Divorce Agreement Paper. "Has he finally signed those papers?"Alisha ignored them. They didn't hold back their disapproval, even going so far as to insult James, despite him being right there with them."This useless loser doesn't realize how serious this is.""He's treating our family like a joke.""I can't believe we ever allowed him into our lives.""He's nothing but a burden, and he's taking advantage of our kindness.""We should have never trusted him with Alisha."The hurtful and boastful way her family spoke about James made Alisha feel uneasy. James didn't pay much attention to their behavior. Instead, he went to the room to start packing his things to leave.He was still packing when Alisha entered the room."James you gotta understand…" "Understand what??? After all, I've done for you, Alisha, this is how
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 5
The next morning, inside the court, James and his wife, Alisha were about to get divorced officially.Kate was at the court, too. In fact, she was the first person to come to the court that morning. She wanted to make sure that Alisha divorced James once and for all and for good.She had invited her friends and all the people in the family who despised James so much. Alisha wasn't in support of it."Is this your disgusting son-in-law?" Her friends asked her. "Oh, point of correction, he's not my son-in-law anymore." Kate snapped. "HAHAHAHA!" They all laughed maliciously. "I can't believe you put up with him for so long.""He's nothing but filthy." "Filthy? That's an understatement. He's a disgrace."James overheard their insult, but he kept a straight face which pissed them off the more. When the judge finally arrived, they all kept mute and waited for the proceedings. The judge was a quiet woman who did the proceedings without delay. She asked them. "Why do you two beautiful c
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 6
After the divorce, James decided that he would finally quit his cleaning job at the local grocery store to concentrate more on expanding his business empire.Hence, he will go ahead to deal with the Carl family and the Sterling Dynasty and show them that he is the one in charge now.He wanted to prove that he was the new boss and make them regret their actions. Alisha and her family would soon realize their mistake and come back begging. When he arrived at his workplace to let his boss know that he was quitting his job, there was a surprising turn of events.Two men in uniform walked up to him. These were police officers from the police department in Emerald Falls.James found himself face-to-face with the two stern police officers who wasted no time in apprehending him."You're under arrest!" The first officer declared."Yeah, we've got reports on you for stealing," added the second officer, whose tone was accusatory.Despite the shock of the situation, James remained remarkably cal
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 7
Meanwhile, in the police station, James was kept in a private torture room.The room was completely dark with no windows in it.Ten minutes later, two policemen came into the room to question him about the crime he didn't commit."Hey Listen up, Mr." One of the policemen, the one who appeared to be their leader, said to him. "I know you know why you have been arrested. Yes?""But I didn't steal anything," James replied calmly.The other policeman said, "Well, the evidence says otherwise. We have you on camera, and your key can open that strongbox.""That's a lie! Tell you what, here's what happened ok…""Better don't start cooking up stories.""I had no place to sleep that night, and the only place I could think of was my workplace. I only slept on the veranda and I did not break into the building.""But you were the only one the CCTV camera captured last.""Did the CCTV capture me breaking into the building or exiting with the safe?"The policemen were at a loss but they knew they ha
JAMES WANE THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 8
Inside the torture room, James trembled, yet he refused to yield.He held onto the hope that his uncle had indeed answered that call from the officer.His nose was broken and blood was gushing out from his mouth and ear.With blood still in his mouth, he spat at Henry."How dare you, loser."Henry was furious. He grabbed the knife from Jaxon and stabbed James in the arm."Now I'll kill you.""Instead of this jerk to start apologizing and beg for forgiveness he is still asking for more trouble." One of the policemen said."Surely he has given up on life already.""What do you expect from a nobody?"Despite the brutal beating from Jaxon, Henry, and the two officers, James remained unafraid. Instead, he started smiling."What's wrong with him?""He's demented, Can't you see?"He scanned their faces one more time. He needed to make sure he remembered it."You won't get away with this. Once I'm out of here, all four of you, Jaxon, Henry, and you two officers, will face the consequences for

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
