Albert Moore walked in unhurriedly. He had a slight frown on his face immediately he sighted Brian. “What happened? I was worried, mas..” Brian glared at him, reminding him to keep quiet, he was about to call him master. Mr Wellington shivered at the sight of Albert Moore. “What's such an important figure doing in a place like this?” he wondered. Brian pulled Albert to the side, “What happened? Why are you here?” “I was worried, Master. I noticed something was off when you didn't call me back. I decided to look into the matter and found out that you were at the orphanage.” Albert paused for a while, “Master, I found out something.Brian nodded his head, informing him to continue. Albert Moore signed and said,”I found out that Harry was also involved in this whole issue.” Immediately Brian heard Harry's name, he clenched his fists by his sides, his blood boiling in fury, “Why…why did they target the orphanage?”“ The area is the proposed site for the mega bumper construction contra

“Jesse?” Brian mumbled as he turned his head to locate where the voice was coming from. Then, a young man, dressed in a black suit that hugged his body perfectly approached Brian. He looked like he just come out of a painting. Everything about him was screaming Confidence. His black hair was neatly combed to the back and a dark smile was plastered on his face, making him look mysterious. “Brian, after so many years you're still the same.” He scoffed. “Jesse..now isn't the time.” Brian said slowly, not wanting to cause any trouble. Jesse was his childhood friend. His only friend in the Brooks family. However, he changed because he caught him proposing to Lyra. Jesse, ever since he was a child was obsessed with Lyra. Even though they had the same blood running through their veins, he still confessed his feeling to her. However, Lyra waved it off as a joke. Why would she date her cousin? That was a taboo. “Ha”“Don't tell me you're here to cause Lyra trouble. Let her be! You've done

Hearing his wife's question, Brian racked his brain, thinking of a response to give her. “Dear, you're tired. You need to rest” he said after a while, earning a suspicious gaze from Lyra. Brian smiled slightly and pulled her outside. He turned around and gave the director, Davis a look. Davis nodded in response and turned towards Jesse, “I'm sorry but you've been demoted. Take it or leave it.” He said as he turned around, walking back to his office. Jesse suddenly felt cold, like he had just been drenched in with cold water. He watched how the people present for the screening were staring at him and suddenly felt like entering the ground in shame. He gritted his teeth in anger as he remembered how the director made him beg Brian. “I'm going to make him him pay” he whispered as he walked towards the door in long strides, lowering his head in shame. …Brian and Lyra entered the Brook's building in smiles as they just passed the final screening. However, Martha, Lyra's mother stood at

“Leave her alone? You're the one who should leave her alone. You're undeserving of her love!” Harry argued, pulling Lyra closer to himself. Lyra glared at Harry, “What's the meaning of this nonsense?!” She asked as she pulled herself away from his arms. Turning towards Brian, “Honey, let's leave this place.” She said as she dragged him away from Harry's presence, making him green with envy. Suddenly, the announcer climbed the stage, “I welcome you all to the last phase of the Ashton business proposal.” “As we all know, only a few companies made it to this phase. Not wanting to waste any more time, I would like to invite the representatives of each company to present their proposal.” Lyra immediately stood up from her seat and walked towards the stage with Brian by her side, and her assistant trailing behind her. A few representatives from other companies followed suit with their respective assistants. Moments later, Derald, the representative of Asher mines, discussed his proposa

Lady Elizabeth suddenly exploded, “What do you mean by that?! I could sue you for saying false things about our company.” “Ha, I wouldn't say something I'm not so sure of. When you're innocent, there's nothing to hide. Provide your company's fund report!” She attacked back. Lyra watched the how the lady furiously attacked their company and wondered why she was standing in their way. Turning towards the organizer, “Sir, please, that lady over there is making false allegations. Allow me to proceed with the signing of the contract.” However, the organizer wasn't convinced, “There might be some truth in her words. When your company is out of funds, why did you want to sign the contract? Do you want to ruin our company?!”Flustered, Lyra calmly explained, “Our company isn't out of funds, and we're not involved in illegal dealings . Brooks empire is well known for it's good reputation.” Hearing Lyra's words, the lady in white snapped, “Then bring out the company funds report. How much

Chapter 18Martha hurriedly ran to Lady Elizabeth, “Mo..mother, I can explain” she stuttered as she stared at Lyra, asking for back up. However, Lyra ignored her mother and picked up the files, “What you heard is true, grand mother. Mother invested half of the company's profits in a real estate company which yielded no profit. Presently, there's only about 2 billion dollars in the company's account which is barely enough as base capital for the contract. We need to worth about 10 billion dollars but..” Lyra trailed off as she returned her mother's gaze. Lady Elizabeth pushed Martha away roughly, her eyes flashing with fury, “Where are we going to get 8billion dollars before the end of the day?” Martha averted her gaze as she chewed her lips, her anxiety growing by the minute. Lyra and Lady Elizabeth were eagerly staring at her, hoping she would say something to help them solve this issue but she couldn't think of any thing. Her head was blank..entirely blank. However, Martha's pho

Hearing his mother in-law yell over the phone, Brian was slightly stunned. “What does she need me for?” He wondered as he left in a hurry. Upon reaching the supposed destination, Brian was taken aback by the sight of well built men hanging around Harry, Martha and Martin. He approached them, taking small steps as he covered his nose in disgust. The surrounding was extremely dirty because of the protest. Immediately Martha saw Brian, she approached him, dragging him by his arm, “Come over and clean this place so we can leave here.” She paused for a bit and pointed at a broom, “Hurry and pick that broom. Let's get this done.” Brian's gaze lingered on Martha for a while, his brows furrowed in confusion . Did she just call him from the comfort of his home to come and clean up this place?Sensing his reluctance, Martha suddenly exploded, “What are you still doing there?! Pick up the broom and clean up this place!” She seethed. “Better be useful for once dirtbag” Harry added Swallowing

Axel dropped Martha to the ground roughly, her hands flying up to her throat as she gasped for breath. Her eyes suddenly reddened, why was she suffering so much today? Turning towards Brian, “Who the hell are you?!” Axel growled as he approached Brian, his eyes blazing with anger. “Maid, you better know your place.” He warned. However, Brian refused to cower under his gaze, “Just leave that lady alone. You can have the boys.” Brian ordered. Harry was too weak to respond to Brian's degrading insult, but Axel's goons were stunned. Who's this man that dared to order our boss around? Axel was furious. His blood boiled in fury as he didn't sense fear from Brian. People should cower in fear at his presence, not make their stand. Axel glared at Brian, watching his odd dressing for the second time. He suddenly smirked, “You worthless thing. You dare to order me?”“You're just an ant in my presence. I just need to say a word and you'll be sent to the world beyond. So.. it's better you walk

The warmth of the sun caressed Brian's skin with half his body inside a pool. His hair, damp with water clung to his neck like a second skin while the sound of laughter filled the air. Right next to the pool was a garden filled with so many flowers, It looked unreal. The air was peaceful, calm and serene. He turned to his wife who basked in the sunlight, her skin glowing with youthfulness. In her arms were Ginny and George as she sat next to the garden. She stared at her kids with so much love, her heart filled with content. These past few months had been the best time of her life. Since Tyla was serving her time in prison, she got her company back. Now, Lyra was the chairwoman of Brooks Empire. That's right, she changed the name back to the initial name, and the crumbing company became better under her supervision. “Lyra, are the kids asleep? Don't you want to have fun in the pool?” Brian raised his voice, calling Lyra’s attention as he floated in the pool. Rather than settling do

Her nanny walked right behind her with her kids, Ginny and Georgia, and Lyra couldn't ask for more. She turned to her husband, Brian who walked right beside her, his blue boraldo suit bringing out his striking features. His hair was styled like he should be on the cover of a magazine.

In the dead of the night, Brian's car sped down the highway. His bodyguards were positioned in the front of his car. As the car moved smoothly, suddenly, the driver noticed the image of two vehicles from the rear mirror, chasing their vehicle with all their might. Brian's driver, Alex, tightened his grip on the steering and said “Mr Duke, we're being followed.” “What?” Brian asked, slightly confused. After a hectic day at work, he wasn't really ready to encounter such a problem. He placed his hands on his forehead and sighed, “Are you sure about this, Alex?” Alex checked the rear mirror again and confirmed his suspicion, “I'm very sure sir. They're closing in on us.” he continued, stepping on the accelerator. Brian leaned back in his chair, “Alert the other bodyguards about the situation and drive in circles. Going home now is not an option.”Alex nodded, clicked on a button and alerted the bodyguards in front of them. Brian watched as Alex stepped on the accelerator, speeding on t

North Ashton Hills, Members of the dancing 9 were seated around the table, each of their faces filled with dread. Several years of planning, training, working, went down the drain because of Brian Duke. Yes, they had planned to threaten people but Brian was still blocking their path. Duncan slammed his fists on the desk, his skin flushed from anger. He shook his head, “Brian really thinks he can get away with this.” his voice rang out, dripping with venom, “Can you believe he ordered his people to dig out our past?”“What?!” One of the members spat, a look of terror plastered on his face, “He’s digging out our past? What if he gets evidence against us? What then are we going to do?” he added, his eyes fixed on Duncan. Another member turned to Tyla, “You're the reason for this, you b*tch! You've brought this upon us. It's because of your greed, that's why that bastard is after us.” she seethed. Tyla clenched her fists, “How dare you say that to me?! If not for my company, the group

Ever since the incident that happened during the campaign, Duncan had never had a moment of rest. Apart from how fast Lawrence was progressing, Brian also became stronger with each passing day. If threatening people would bring stronger people to his side, Duncan was determined to find their weakness and use it against them. Seated in a young senator's office, Duncan crossed his legs as his lips curled into a grin, “Mike Harrison, senator of Blackwoods state.” he began, leaning closer to take in his features. Mike had raven dark hair and pale green eyes. Striking features that would charm any lady. He looked like a soft man who wouldn't be able to withstand any pressure. It was exactly the kind of person Duncan was in need of. Weak and vulnerable people. Since Brian and the president were forcing his people to stop working with him, he might as well form alliances with new people. Mike was his new target. He was only a senator, but he had influence like the governor of a whole stat

As the election date moved closer, Lawrence, the president and Brian, worked hand in hand to ensure that the position didn't fall into the wrong hands. It was a sunny afternoon; the trees were green, the air clean and the sky was bright. It was the perfect time to have a campaign, and rather than holding it in Halls, Lawrence held it in a public space, where people moved around freely. There were free drinks, free food and there was no discrimination. People of different status were welcomed, each of them dressed in their best outfits. Lawrence stood on the podium with a microphone in his hands. Rather than having a robotic speech that would bore people, Lawrence conveyed his heartfelt message towards the people. He promised them a brighter future, a better world where everyone would be treated equally. Even though he was the incumbent president, there were still some mistakes he made and so, he assured the people he would keep to his word and amend his mistakes. While Lawrence co

However, that only fueled his desire to know more, especially why they wanted the presidential position. Few days into the search, Killian confirmed the president's words. The dancing 9 was indeed a group who was involved in illegal activities.Killian had no idea that he had been working with desperate people. People who would kill to get a certain position. If not for the president, he would have been in the dark for ages. Few minutes later, a waiter walked towards him with a tray. He bowed towards Killian, “Good day, sir. I would like to take your order.” Slowly, Killian raised his head to meet the waiter’s eye, “I'm expecting someone soon. I'll take my order once he arrives.” His voice was soft, polite, and unconsciously, the waiter's lips curled into a smile. Killian had a meeting with Austin at this particular restaurant. Howev
