Brian's mind was a complete mess. He patiently waited for Brandon to text him the location, and immediately he saw the message, he didn't waste any more time. He knew going to Brandon's territory was like a death wish, but he couldn't abandon Lyra. In hurried steps, he walked out of the Empire and entered his car. Stepping on the accelerator, he had no intention of controlling his speed. With the way he drove on the street, It was enough to get him arrested. Getting to the building, he inhaled a sharp breath and walked in, adjusting his gun in his pocket. The winner takes it all. If things get worse, then he would have to do something he never intended to do. As he walked in, he saw a lady tied to the chair with her head lowered. His heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt like running over. However, a young man approached Lyra and placed a gun on her forehead, “Make a single step and she gets it.” Gordon threatened, and Brian couldn't help but frown. The voice sounded too famil

A few weeks later, The chilling breeze of winter grazed the lands, and several couples were in the company of each other, spending time together. Due to the festive air around, the streets and houses were decorated with beautiful lights. While people were celebrating in their homes, there was chaos in a particular place. In a city far away from Ashton Hills, specifically a luxurious hotel strictly built for important occasions, eight men were seated, angrily staring at each other. Each of the men had a mask on their wrinkled faces, not showing their true intentions. None of them could trust each other, and none of them could believe each other. Anyone could stab the other in the back without alerting the other members. It was a deadly and fierce fight; and only the survivor would win. Each of the men stared at each other, wondering when someone would say something. Tired of the deafening silence, a man adjusted his spectacles and sat comfortably. He picked up a glass of water next

“Excuse me?” Brian said calmly, turning to look at the supposed store owner. Many times, he had heard of how celebrities were well respected in the public, this was the first time he was witnessing it. However, even if celebrities were well respected, was it at the expense of another important customer? “Are you asking me to leave the store because of her?” Brian asked, his eyes piercing into the old man's soul. He averted his gaze as he felt some amount of pressure on his chest just by staring at Brian. “Yes, please, leave.” The old man replied, moving backwards as he was slightly afraid of Brian. How could a person's gaze instill so much fear?Brian turned to stare at Samantha and smiled. There was really nothing special about her. Samantha was just pretty with a shitty attitude. The white gown she was putting on clung to her body like a second skin, accentuating her curves and hourglass figure. With Jewelleries adorned on her body, Samantha looked as pretty as a goddess; however

“Brother” Brian muttered below his breath, taken aback by Brandon's words. His voice was something he had never imagined to hear; and his words were even more confusing. Last time he checked, Brandon was in prison, but now he was free? How possible was that? “Just how…” Brian's words were cut off as Brandon suddenly disconnected the call. Brian stared at the phone in his hands, baffled and terrified. The part that amused him the most was the fact that the bastard was in Helix city. A city where he had brought his wife for a vacation. Even if Brandon escaped from prison, why would he come to a place where they were? Brian stared at the food on the table, but he had already lost his appetite. His hunger vanished in less than seconds. A merciless killer, someone who had kidnapped his wife was still lurking around freely in Helix city. Brian's heart raced, his mind in a complete mess. He couldn't wrap his head around the fact that Brandon was now a free person, wondering if he's clea

A few days later, Brian ensured that the security around his new home was tight. He also employed new bodyguards to guide Lyra secretly, just so she wouldn't feel too pressured. After spending weeks in the comfort of his home, Brian finally decided it was time to find a side job in Helix city. Just like Lyra had suggested, he had decided to keep his identity hidden for the main time to avoid being disturbed by reporters. Now, he simply wants to enjoy being a normal person and take his wife on dates. Sitting on the couch in the living room, he checked his wristwatch and sighed inwardly. “Lyra, it's almost 10. Do you want to go late on your first appointment with your doctor?” he yelled, just so she could hear him in the bed room. Hearing her husband's voice, Lyra giggled and rushed downstairs. Compared to how she looked a few months ago, her pregnancy seemed to have changed her alot. Lyra looked more like a woman; and her curves were even more evident. Dressed in a simple white g
