Chapter 231
Hazel fluttered her eyes open, taking a few minutes to remember what had just occurred. As she tried to move her body, she felt pressured as something held her in place, almost choking her. Hazel lowered her gaze and stared at her foot, wondering why someone would tie her up like an animal. At the same time, a burning pain seared through her body, making her groan in agony. She wanted to reach for her head but her hands were mercilessly tied to the back. Her head hurt so much, she found it hard to breathe. Hazel didn't need anyone to tell her she was badly injured. She just couldn't understand why Brandon didn't treat her before bringing her here. She looked around the room, the musky scent of blood and sweat wafting into her nostrils. Hazel felt the urge to puke but decided to hold it in. She was sure help would come her way soon, and so, she decided to save her strength for escaping. Hazel closed her eyes to rest, body leaned into the chair. At the same time, Brandon walked towar

For the next few days, Hazel struggled to keep herself sane and alive. Each day was torture as she was kept illegally without food or water. Her throat ached with burning need and her gaze was fixed on the mouth watering food Brandon was feasting on. If she was told she could handle not eating for days, Hazel would have shook her head to deny it. It has been 72 hours now. The third day without food or water. At this point, even if she was given a single slice of bread or some steak, she would appreciate it with her life. Her stomach grumbled loudly, telling her to feed herself for the hundredth time but her body was still tied to the wooden chair. Brandon directed his gaze to Hazel, a small smile on his lips, “You look so hungry that you'd eat anything. I'm sorry but I don't share.” he smiled, placing the last slice of bread in his mouth. Hazel watched as his throat bubbled up and down, licking his lips at the delicious taste of the meal. She sighed Inwardly, averting her gaze from

Richard furrowed his brows, confusion kicking in. He tightened his grip around his phone, “What do you mean by that?” he asked, his voice stern and unwavering, surprising Brandon to some extent. To his amazement, Richard seemed like the kind of person who wouldn't jump into conclusions without weighing the pros and cons. Brandon chuckled, “Seems like you don't like your granddaughter.” he smiled, tracing a knife down her cheeks. Hazel's back stiffened as her eyes widened in terror. As bad as she wanted to get out, she didn't want to bring her grandfather into this fight. She inhaled a deep breath and decided to stay calm, but Brandon was far from accepting Richard's words. He placed the knife in his pocket and walked away, “Richard, I'm giving you 24 hours. After 24 hours, she becomes my slave and woman. She'll no longer be your granddaughter.” Richard clenched his fists as he heard Brandon's words, “Give me more time.” He pleaded, making Brandon smile, “I can only give you 24 hou

“What do you mean by what?” Theresa asked, confusion written all over her face. Brian chuckled softly, “I’m simply asking you to name your price. Whatever you want to get you out of my sight.” he smiled, picking up his glass of wine to have another sip. He just didn't understand why people were willing to cause trouble. Today was a very special day for him. He enjoyed taking his wife out on dates, but this woman chose this day to come claim a seat at a restaurant? Why in the world would someone do something like that? No matter how hard he thought about it, it just didn't make sense. This wasn't the only restaurant in the whole of Helix city. If she was indeed frustrated, she might as well get out and find somewhere else to eat. Brian didn't want to be bothered by anyone while he was trying to please his pregnant wife. Hearing Brian's words, Theresa's eyes widened in surprise, “What did you just say?” she asked, her voice trembling from anger, “No, do you think you can afford my p

As Brian turned his head to stare at Edward, a look of terror could be seen on his face. He stumbled backwards as his face turned pale, wondering what a business Tycoon like Brian could be doing in such a restaurant. “M..Mr Duke.” Edward breathed, a look of surprise plastered on his face. He directed his gaze at his daughter and anger surged through his veins. His daughter, Theresa, had placed him in trouble. How was he going to reverse or take back his words? It was going to be like a slap on his face! Seeing Edward's expression, a chuckle escaped Brian's lips, “Cat got your tongue? Can't you speak again?” He asked, his gaze fixed on Edward. Edward's eyes darted around, his cheeks flushed red in embarrassment. From the sides, Theresa watched as her father suddenly stopped talking. Thinking that something must have happened to him, she took a few steps towards Brian's table and entangled her arm around her father's, “Dad, say something!” she snapped, her voice dripping with venom.

Theresa's lips trembled as she played with the hem of her dress. Her head was lowered and her blonde hair covered her face, giving her the look of a sad woman who was going through alot. “I'm sorry.” she whispered, tears spilling from her eyes. Brian simply ignored her, making her even more embarrassed. Edward smacked her neck, “speak louder!” he yelled and Theresa yelled on top of her lungs, “I'm sorry.” Brian turned to Lyra, “Let's get going, honey. We can't waste time here with these people.” He smiled, getting up to leave with Lyra. As he walked out of the restaurant with his wife, beads of perspiration formed on Edward's skin, “M..Mr Duke, wait we have to discuss.” He yelled, but Brian didn't give him an audience. Lyra was the reason why he was present here today, so only she deserved his attention for today. As he walked into his car, He heard how Edward yelled at his daughter, asking her to run after him but he didn't even bother to stop. He opened the door for Lyra and aske

With that knife close to Hazel's neck, Ivy was confused and bothered. Deep down, Ivy wanted to allow her to escape, but it would jeopardize their plans. Leviathan would relax and Brandon wouldn't be captured. If Hazel escapes this way, they would lose everything. She tried to talk Hazel out, but the young girl already made up her mind. At the same time, Brandon finished making the call and returned back to the warehouse to check on Hazel. However, he found her released and pointed a knife at herself. His eyes turned cold as he stared at Ivy, but he decided to stay unnoticed. He took slow steps towards Hazel and pushed her forward. The knife fell on the ground as Hazel lost her balance. Since the knife was far away from her, Hazel broke into tears. She had her chance to escape, but she decided to waste time. Why would she make that kind of mistake? Brandon pulled Hazel's hair, making her wince in pain. He dragged her towards the chair and pushed her roughly, not caring about her bru

“Get on your knees, now!” Brandon yelled, but Leviathan had no plans of doing that. Even though he was without his gun, he wasn't going to kneel in the presence of his subject. Hazel watched the entire scene in front of her, confusion evident in her expression. She had thought the three of them worked together, but they were ganging up against Leviathan? Brandon smirked, “Seems like you don't love yourself. Leviathan, get on your knees an….” He swallowed the rest of his words when he felt the touch of a metal on his chest, where his heart was. “Try anything funny and I'll make sure I press this trigger.” Brandon was shocked and speechless. “Ivy!” He gasped, his voice trembling with emotion, but Ivy’s mind was already made up. “Who are you working for? Tell me who sent you here!” He yelled, anger surging through his veins. At the same time, Brian made a grand appearance with his heavily armed private security. He smiled when he saw Ivy’s reaction, “Good one, Ivy. Get Hazel out of h

Brian stared at the terrible man who caused the entire chaos and sighed. That maid who gave Richard the afternoon tea for several days should be charged to death. How could she do something so cruel? Since Richard's life was hanging on the line, Brian decided to exchange the antidote for Leviathan's release. “Fine, give me the antidote. We're running out of time.” Brian said, his voice laced with impatience. Leviathan chuckled, writhing in pain from time to time, “You'll have to take me to a hospital to get treated before I give away the antidote.” He said, not wanting Brian and his men to play smart on him. He wasn't that foolish either. Seeing as Leviathan was quick to see through him, he smirked and threw his hands up in defeat, “Fine.” Just for Richard's antidote he would give him up and risk his wife's safety for the second time. He ran his hands through his hair, frustration kicking in, “Boys, let's get him to the nearest hospital for treatment. We can't have him die.” Brian o

As Brian's men pushed Brandon into a car, Brian, Hazel and Ivy entered another. He didn't tell Hazel about her grandfather's condition. Not only would she freak out, she would be devastated. Brian was determined to make Richard live, and so, the driver dropped him at the hospital and took the girls home. Brian walked into the hospital, making heads turn as he moved from side to side, however, the gaze of people were fixed on his bloodied hands and shoe, but no one had the guts to walk over and ask him. The kind of aura he exuded made a shiver run down their spine. He was mysterious and handsome! Brian walked straight to a young nurse who batted her eyelashes at him, acting coy and cute. He rolled his eyes in anger, not even bothering to flash her a smile. Presently, he was worried about Richard's life. He might not survive the night, which is the reason why he needs the antidote. If Leviathan should go back on his word they were doomed. Upon getting to Richard's ward, Brian pushed
