Day Eighty-Five…
~~*****~~
Lots of things happened yesterday. Jane was physically and emotionally exhausted. She didn't feel like getting off the bed. She stared at her ceiling blankly, thinking about Nathan.
'Sigh. He shouldn't have followed us into the Yan Family Mansion. I made Nathan cry… and I lied to him.' Jane sighed deeply.
Knock! Knock!
The knocking sound of the door caught Jane's attention.
"Mommy. May I co in?" Mia's cheerful voice resounded outside the door.
"Sure, Baby." Jane sat up on her bed and put on a smile to greet her daughter.
"Good morning, Mommy!" Mia climbed on her bed, planting a soft kiss on her cheek.
Jane could only giggle because of Mia's enthusiasm. "Why are you so happy?"
"I saw your picture with Dad in the newspaper. Look at this, Mommy. You are so beautiful. Dad is handso. But Mommy, I noticed sothing. Why aren't you smiling?" Mia asked her innocently.
"Oh. Maybe I'm tired because of the photo shoot and the fitting of the wedding gown." Jane just made up so excuses. "By the way, where is your Dad?"
"He is talking with Uncle Phoenix, discussing the venue of the wedding."
Jane just smiled faintly. Then she glanced at the newspaper. 'I hope my plan will work. I'll be waiting for you, Monica.'

anwhile, in her secret hideout, the news of Vincent and Jane's upcoming wedding had already reached Monica.
Bang!
CRASH!
"NO!!! This can't be! Vincent is mine! Why is he marrying Phantomflake!" Monica scread as she threw the things inside her room.
"I can't allow them to be together! AAAaaahhhh!" Bang! Bang! She fired nurous tis using her pistol. She couldn't accept this. Vincent marrying Phantomflake?! That was ridiculous.
"I will kill you, Bitch! I will kill you! I won't let you steal my man! Vincent is just mine!"
Monica's room was in a great ss. Broken glasses, table, and chair were all scattered on the floor. She was seething with rage, her eyes bloodshot.
She stabbed Jane's photo in the news article several tis. She was venting out her frustration and hatred.
When she cald down, Monica summoned her underlings.
The door of her room was pushed open. Ten n entered the room, shocked to see the chaos inside.
"Madam, did you call for us?" The leader of the group spoke up.
"What the hell are you doing?! I'm paying you to do your job! When are you going to deliver the result that I want?!" Monica scolded them, throwing things at them.
No one could pacify her anger right now. She wanted to kill soone!
"I'm sorry for the delay, Madam. The young boy just arrived a few days ago. We didn't get the chance to take him away. But we are still closely following his movent." The leader explained.
"Prioritize that mission! You have to capture that boy! He will be my key to stop Phantomflake from marrying Vincent. Bring Ethan Sparks to !" Monica gave them her command.
"Understood, Madam!"
"Diego!" Monica called a person standing behind the leader.
"You are my spy. Gather information regarding this wedding, especially the venue! You also need to find out why Phantomflake is marrying Vincent. This is unbelievable!"
"Use your connection with your friend, Phoenix. He is Vincent's right-hand man. I believe he knows sothing about this," Monica added.
"Okay, Madam. Don't worry. I will go and contact Phoenix to gather information," Diego replied.
"Be careful! Don't make it obvious! We can't afford to be caught by Vincent's n!" Monica sternly said.
"Got it, Madam. We will be more careful." Diego reassured her.
"Now go! Do your respective tasks. Don't disappoint !" Monica dispatched her n. If Vincent was busy preparing for this wedding, Monica was making her move to stop it.
"I'll give you a surprise, Phantomflake. A surprise that you will never forget!" Monica smirked slyly.

At Sparks Mansion…
Nathan was still not in the mood today. He locked himself in his study room. He didn't report to the company.
He was drinking his whiskey when he received a call from Joker. He put his glass down to answer his phone.
"Hello?"
"Supre Leader! I called you to give you so updates on our search. We've been tracking Axel… but unfortunately, the people who took him are now untraceable. What should we do now, Boss? We are afraid that Axel is being tortured right now. Or worse, he is already dead."
Nathan narrowed his eyes upon hearing that.
"How about Violet and others? Maybe they got so leads." Nathan asked him.
"We have the sa results, Supre Leader. We feel like we reached a dead end." Joker sounded sad and disappointed.
"Just continue your search," Nathan simply commanded him.
Joker heaved a deep sigh. He knew that their Supre Leader would never give up on finding Axel. They needed to be strong since their Supre Leader tried to keep his composure.
"Noted, Supre Leader." Joker had just hung up when Nathan received a ssage. The mont he read the content, Nathan hastily stood up, grabbing his car keys.
He hurriedly left the Sparks Mansion, heading to their et-up point. It was an abandoned yacht in the York City Port.
"Supre Leader," soone called him.
Nathan nodded upon seeing his loyal subordinate. "Everyone is looking for you, especially Chantha. Have you figured out who the traitor is?"
Axel showed up in front of Nathan. His disappearance was just part of their plan to find out who was the traitor.
"Supre Leader… Yes. I found out who the traitor was. This is both good news and bad news for you, Supre Leader." Axel mumbled as he could feel the gravity of the situation.
"It's fine. I can handle it. Now, tell . What are your findings?" Nathan looked at him intently.
"The good news… the traitor is not a mber of the Syphiruz Mafia. The branch leaders are now clear." Axel inford Nathan.
Nathan nodded, feeling relieved.
"But Master… the bad news is… the traitor is soone close to you…" Axel hesitated for a mont since he was worried about Nathan's reaction. "Just tell …" Nathan urged him.
"Supre Leader… The traitor is… Butler Li."
