"What are you doing here, Mr. Zane, and who gave you the authority to sit on the CEO's chair?""Why do you think I am here sitting on your chair?" You already know the answer, of course, but you won't accept it. Okay, since you are unaware, I have nothing to lose by telling you. "Mr. Charles, I've come to get what you stole back from me," he replied with a foolish grin.His legs grew shaky as soon as Zane approached him, and he nearly fell. When he came out, he always anticipated this, but not that quickly. It was time to take advantage of the company's ongoing growth and reap the rewards of his efforts. He was not going to allow this man to take it from him. No, he owns and will always own this business. "I have to take a deep breath," he told himself."I've been the CEO of this company for a longer period of time, what proves it's your business," Charles said. Why do you come in and claim ownership of the business that you sold to me as you were entering prison? What do you think?H
Charles sat down on the chair but had no words to say.“Is that accurate, Mr. Charles? Did you actually steal the business from him?” One of the board members asked."What's happening? Vivian who just came inquired. Why are you here, Zane?” She asked again.Zane crossed his arms and pretended not to have seen her. She felt ashamed and sat down.She was also disregarded by Charles, who was furious with her.“ Can someone please clarify what is happening?” She re-asked."Mr. Zane is here to assert his ownership of the business." An elder gave an explanation.She said, "Oh, I see," and nodded in agreement. Zane and the others found it amusing that she didn't appear astonished."You don't seem astonished. Did you know about it beforehand?” A board of directors felt compelled to inquire."No, but I had anticipated it all along." She stated this firmly.Vivian had predicted Zane would eventually retake control of his business. She wasn't shocked by it. She initially had 40% of the company'
In a fit of rage, he fled the scene. It was left with Vivian wo was not ready to leave. She was apprehensive about going home. According to her, she will never be able to give up Zane for Lisa. She was unaware that Zane and Lisa only worked together and that there was no romantic tension between the two of them. They were nothing more than a criminal duo.“And yet, Miss Vivian, why are you still in this room?” Zane questioned.“Ah, but I still have some ownership in the company; why should I resign?” She spoke out loud.“They all started laughing. She stared at them in a weird way, “what so funny about what I said, isn’t it the truth?” She mumbled in a low voice that only she would hear.“Is it that you are dumb or you didn’t listen to my explanation?” Or did you think I was joking? Do you want me to repeat myself?” Zane inquired furiously. It was only then that Vivian recalled what he had said previously. “So it was true,” she said, thinking he was joking.“Were you serious, but that
You will turn twenty-eight next week, and the letter claims that your grandfather set up a marriage for you."What, Mom, did you say my grandfather did what? Ha! Do you consider it to be just? How is it possible for me to wed a stranger?” He yelled.Zane, calm down, at least let me continue. They are our old friends.. You have the option to select one of their two daughters. Before you can truly serve as a leader, you must accept my suggestion. It matters a lot, Zane. The family with which you will get married is part of the royal family. Perhaps your grandfather had agitated for you to oppose their taking over the band, and if you don't accept their plan, they will do so. The head of the Royal Organization would be the man who would marry them.If you don't, then let it go," his father said. "If you still want to be the Lord, then you will have to make a sacrifice.Zane rubbed his hands in annoyance through his hair and said, "Hmm. After everything Vivian accomplished, how is it pos
Mr. Chuck's, this is Clara. Clara is my youngest daughter. She is beautiful and would make a good wife. " Mrs. Furner said excitedly.Zane’s parents nodded their heads in agreement. The girl is very beautiful and looks innocent. She might be a good woman. She would be very glad if her son would choose him, but his words shattered her dreams." What shows that she will be a good wife?" Zane asked the Furner’s family."As you can see, Mr. Zane. Our daughter went to Harvard University. She was one of the best students. She is humble and respectful. She has all the qualities of a good woman. " Mr. Furner explained."Really, I see. From my investigations, you have two daughters. Where is the other one? " Zane’s asked them out of the blue. It threw them off guard. The Furner’s family never thought he would get the second daughter.They had different thoughts.Mrs. Furner: This witch has done it again. Why would he ask her out of the blue? That useless girl wouldn’t take what belonged to my
Zane carefully observed the unfolding drama; it was obvious that Mirabel was being tortured in the house, and they didn't seem to mind, but Clara is not a girl he wants to be with. "I'm getting married to Mirabel. That's final." Zane chipped in The whole place became silent as they didn't expect him to accept Mirabel out of the blue with all they had said about her. "What!" the whole of the Furner family said, excluding Mirabel, whose joy knew no bounds. Somehow, Mrs. Chucks also liked the choice her son had made. Although the lady in question didn't appear to be so presentable, she believed just a little touch would bring out the beauty in her, which she was so ready to do. The same applied to Mr. Chucks. He was quite happy with the choice his son made. "You witch, you have succeeded in ruining my future too with your pathetic self," Clara argued. Mirabel only smirked at her. "Mr. Furner, you can't watch this little witch ruin my daughter's life. Do something or you won't like
The driver finally came to pick up Mirabel from the place. She had been reluctant to go, but she had no choice but to. She wished she could speak to her dad, but he was busy with Mr. Chucks.She turned to her stepmother and sister, who were looking at her with hateful eyes. She noticed Clara walking towards her and stood her grounds, but Clara hugged her unexpectedly."Don't let this stupid thing called marriage get into your head. I'll get Zane wrapped around my fingers in no time," Clara whispered to her, hugging her so tight. She finally let her go and Mr. and Mrs. Chucks assisted her to get into the car Zane had sent.They finally arrived at Zane's mansion. It was literally a sight to behold and the news didn’t lie when they listed it as one of the most expensive houses in the United States."Ma'am, we’re here," the driver said, jolting Mirabel out of her thoughts She looked out through the window, and she still didn’t quite believe she was here."Umm okay," she replied, the dri
She finally went out to the Zane bedroom, but Zane wasn’t in there again "He must have gone to eat," she thought "I am also hungry. . I haven’t had anything since morning. Let. Let me just go down to eat as well," she said to herself Her eyes suddenly diverted to the bed, and a smile crept on her face She went into the bathroom and filled water into a bucket, then, then went back into the room and poured the whole water onto the bed "Let’s see if you also get to sleep on your bed tonight," ," she said, going back into the bathroom to drop the bucket and heading downstairs She walked downstairs with a smile on her face , "I'm not someone he can mess with like that." She said with a satisfied smile.She got to the dining room dining room and saw him already seated with Madam Claudia standing behind him "Good evening, madam Claudia," Claudia," she said the moment she took a seat, and Zane raised his head and stared at her before looking back at his food "Evening dear," Madam Cl
Mirabel's face lit with smiles as she watched her memories with Zane. Hed smile suddenly disappeared and tears began to trickle down her face when memories of Zane began flooding in her head."I missed you so much hubby," she sniffed, burying her face in her knees.Her tears fell more and more as the minutes passed, and she suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder.Slowly and steadily, she raised her head as she felt a hand on her, her butt landed on the ground when she saw who it was...Her one and only hubby, Zane .He is on a wheelchair."Arggggghhhhh!!!!" Mirabel screamed fearfully."It is me, don't be scared," Zane said simply and smiled at her."No,no, no.......," She muttered, shifting back on her butt."If you don't believe it, just touch me and confirm it," Zane said ,stretching his arm towards her.Mirabel stopped moving and looked at his smiling face, he nodded for her to go ahead and she started moving closer once again.When she finally got to him, she stretched her trembling
...At the airport...Jesse and the guys kept searching for Zane as they could not fish him out of the crowd so easily. They finally found him and joy is a word that just can not describe how happy they are right now. They all hugged him at once , not ready to let go as if when they let him go, he was going to disappear once again."Easy guys , you would not want to choke him to death right?" Someone said beside them.They disengaged from the hug and looked at the one with him who said that and they left their mouths open in shock once again."Reagan!!!!" They chorused and looked at each other's faces."Just kill us already, so many surprises in just a few days? Where have you also been?" Jesse asked."Can we leave here? We will talk about that at the hotel," Zane suggested.They got in the car Jesse brought and he drove off to the hotel, they had already made reservations for them . Leo got the keys and returned to them, he handed the keys to Jesse and Jesse also handed it to Zane."
Jesse and the guys went into the mansion after Vanessa, they met Angel and Mirabel already seated, waiting for them in particular.He is the only baby Alex who is being fed by Mirabel, she was so into him that she didn't notice the guys' presence. Alex is like the best thing that has ever happened to her, though she is a busy lady now as she works from morning till late at night , yet she makes sure she gets time for her baby no matter what.That makes her the best mother Alex could ever ask for, the little boy loves her equally as well, not minding the fact that he has a nanny who takes care of him all the time. Even if he is crying, just the sight of his mother makes him calm. They have that kind of mother and son bond between them."We are here," Leo announced their arrival."Must you be noisy all the time? Can't you stay silent for just some time? So annoying" Rowen hissed and Angel chuckled."You guys kept long enough before coming, mind explaining," Mirabel said without looking
"Okay I know of one," Rowen batted in."What kind of occasion or special moments are you aware of that I do not know of and neither does Jesse know of it either?" Leo asked with a surprised look."Mirabel plans on merging the two companies together . She thinks it is going to be a good idea and also going to save her the stress she has to go through every morning of going to each company. She believes is she put them together, she can possibly working in any of the office in the two companies and still be doing all the work she has to do with no stress," Rowen said. " I don't know about it and not even Jesse who is so close to here knows about it, so how come you are the only one who knows about it?" Leo questioned him."That is because it's not a confidential thing, I happened to come across her when she was having a conversation with the two managers of the companies on the phone . I was just present there when she made that call. That is how I came to know and since she's not so

"Is this real or my eyes are just playing with me? Was that Zane I just spoke to?" Jesse said to himself and drove off with high speed.He got home after some time and parked the car in the garage ,as soon as he was done with that, he went into the guesthouse where he is now staying with other guys . He got changed into a casual wear and rushed back into the mansion. It was getting late already so he hurriedly prepared the evening meal and went back to the house to call Zane.That has always been his normal routine ,as soon as he gets back from the organization, he comes to the mansion to prepare the evening meal . Since the ladies never took it upon themselves to cook in the house with the excuse of them being busy all the time, Jesse had insisted he'll be the one to take care of Mirabel while she was pregnant as he didn't want her to eat junk foods. So he has been the one who is cooking meals for her and till now he still does that, just because of his passion for cooking as he
…. In the States….Mirabel sat in her living room, watching how far she has come as a station is currently showing a documentary about her. She was just coming down the stairs when her eyes caught sight of the television show which got her stuck ."Mirabel don't stand there all day or else your breakfast will get cold," Vanessa yelled from the dining room. She is already seated with Angel, the nurse from the hospital as they are already having their breakfast. Angel and Vanessa are Mirabel's only friends now, and the good thing is they live with her in the mansion. The guys had told her about Mr. Chucks decision and they decided to move out into the guest house instead just like Mr. Chucks had suggested.At the moment, the three ladies are the ones occupying the mansion, Angel had moved in with them after Mirabel put to bed a bouncing baby boy. They were happy as the kid looked no less than Zane , he is a typical replica of Zane no doubt. Mirabel named the boy Alex as that was the na
... A week after….Zane sat in his room , watching a conference show of how much Mirabel has become great in the business world, she is the only woman amongst the many successful people who has made it to that kind of level. Zane smiled for the uptenth time , seeing her on the screen of the television, at moment she is giving a speech and a word of advice to others to stay strong in whatever no matter the storm that comes their way."I want to tell you all, that be positive in everything you do. Positive energy is all you need to keep you going, that is all I have for you today, thank you all," Mirabel ended her speech and a thunderous applause followed as camera's lights too flashed at her, the reporters taking as many pictures as they can.Zane watched the conference till it was over and he started changing the channels , in search of another station which is hosting a program with Mirabel. He turned off the television when he could not find any, that has been his normal routine t
...Two years later~Mexico..A guy is sitting in a wheelchair, staring at the window in his room. Though he is looking outside, he is lostbi his thoughts as well. His mind is full of a lot of things he can't voice out even one-quarter of it .A man entered the guy's room but the guy ignored him totally as if he is still the only one inside the room. The man sighed and went to hold his shoulder yet there was no response from the guy at all."Have you been thinking again? I thought the doctor assured you, this is the last phase of the treatment we have been going for so there is nothing to worry about. Be rest assured you will be able to walk again, I trust my doctor's words very much, he will never disappoint us," the man said."I don't care about the treatment anymore, I just can't get the incident out of my mind. Of only I had stopped her from going with them, all this wouldn't have happened. I would have been around her through her trials and also I wouldn't have been in this damn w
