The Return Of the Merchant Heir

Chapter 4: brother

"What?"

"Mom, I just saw big brother"

"What are you saying, Zane? Stop this right now, your big brother died in that accident. Stop! Stop reopening my wounds?" Mary Zane's mom cried out in anguish.

"But, Mom he looked just like me and even more like dad plus he also has our family initials Z in his name. Mom, just maybe he might big brother, can we try him?"

"True but he may be a fake, downtown city is your uncle's turf, it is so easy for him to make someone pass under the knife to get a resemblance to you. And Zachary is quite a common name so we can't conclude anything"

"The best bet will be the birthmark in your brother's arm. It is the seven constellations, the big dipper representing wealth and luck. Even your uncle isn't aware of the birthmark in your brother"

"I understand Mom, But I have a strong feeling for this Zachary. I eagerly wait for my next meeting with him"Zane sighed as he hung up the phone. 

"Zachary, don't be a fake . I am rooting for you to be my big brother "the vibrant youth said with a touch of melancholy as he gazed at the night skies.

           (Anderson's villa)

" Stop? Outsiders aren't welcome here "a group of servants rushed out as they saw Zachary approaching from the distance.

"Marina is really good. We haven't even ended things for a day and she's so eager to share the news to everyone"Zachary sneered with disgust.

"hahahaha, the lapdog came back begging to be taken back! What happened? Have you tested the outside world and decided to run back to being a soft rice? "Louis laughed as he came out of the house with the rest of the Anderson's family. 

"He is truly a disgrace, is he coming back to grovel before marina?... So shameless"

Marina with a prideful expression in her face strutted about like a peacock "Zachary I told you that you will regret your decisions but you didn't listen to me. Very soon I will break this joyful news to Blake and get married to him. As for you, since you were once my husband 

I can grant you the post of a driver "Marina smiled with a vicious glint in her eyes.

Beg Zachary, beg me to forgive you? This is what you get for being cocky and ... Did you need a mental hospital cause I think you're going delusional. 

Zachary's calm voice interrupted Marina's silly thoughts. "What eyes of yours saw me groveling at your feet. I am here to get my stuff from your house. Stop rubbing gold on your face, it's really shameful"

Zachary's words caused Marina's face to burn in embarrassment " pearl, sortie, suzette what are waiting, toss his rag bags out of my house this instant"marina screamed menacing. 

The three maids hurriedly responded into action and tossed Zachary's bags out of the mansion.

" Wait! Where is the certificate of the restaurants my parents left me? "

" Which restaurants! Ahhh! The RESTAURANTS! We sold them to pay off our debts, we also sold your family house where you buried your parents "Marina's mother replied Zachary.

" Marina and the house of Anderson, I will make you lose everything you have even if that's the last thing I do on this earth"Zachary swore through gritted teeth.

....

In a noisy bar far inside the city of New York, a woman sits in the topmost room of the bar overlooking the noisy crowd below.

" Ms. Bella, news from rennet, Zachary and marina are divorced" a beautiful short haired girl said to the woman.

"It's time then, time to raze the Anderson's to the ground. Lime, contact hinet, begin the operation" Bella Anderson said coldly.

Rennet nodded as she went to deliver the message "yes ma'am"

"Zachary, we are finally going to be together again and this time NO ONE will take you from me. I'ill get strong for you "Bella smiled as her misty eyes gazed at the picture of two kids smiling like fools.

The edges of the picture showed it's worn out state which looked dirty compared to her white Jade like hands grabbing hold of it but Bella didn't care as she continued stroking the picture with eyes that reveal deep love and obsession. 

...

"Yo kose, how are you doing?"

"Zachary, why are you calling me? You want to embarrass me just like your wife?" An angry voice sounded from the phone.

Hearing this voice, Zachary's eyes glistened with tears. After his wedding with Marina, she cut off his contacts with his friends and he naively followed her like a licking dog and what did he get, more heartbreak.

"Kose, I divorced her," Zachary replied with a hoarse voice.

" That..... Meet me at our favorite spot in ten minutes "after some minutes a sound came out from the house with an unfinished glass of alcohol immediately he opened the door, indicating someone was around,he looks around impatiently.

"kose, gosh I missed you so much"Zachary hugged the slim nerdy man who stood in front of him .

Kose is a tall handsome man with brown coloured skin and a low hair cut. His hair cut and his taut muscles makes him look ferocious but his face is an ever young face making him a mixture of cuteness and manliness.

" Zachary bro, tell me what happened "kose's deep voice rang out.

"Let's just say I grew up, I saw Marina for who she truly is? "Zachary said as he took a swig of alcohol.

" That's it bro, forget about her, marina was never a good match for you, I told you that before your marriage but you cut contact with me after our of rage, I am so glad you realized it for yourself "

"So what are you going to do now? It's unlikely your inheritance is with you, it's probably with marina and with her type of character giving it back is impossible".

" You are so right! It must have been so obvious then I was so blind that I couldn't notice how vain Marina was. But I will make them vomit every last bit of my money that they took"

"I trust you Zachary but you can't do that alone, I am with you, you can stay at my place. It's more comfortable than a hotel and you are not the only one who's itching to destroy Anderson's group? "

"Who else is there? "Zachary asked, puzzled.

"Bella Anderson "

" WHAT? "
