Brian got up unhurriedly and faced his wife, “It's okay. I'll leave. You can proceed.” He said as he turned to leave the office. Lady Elizabeth ignored Brian and turned to Lyra who was disturbed by lady Elizabeth's attitude to her husband, “We need to celebrate this. Getting this contract is not an easy feat.” She declared, ignoring the look on Lyra's face. Facing her assistant, “Put a call across to those companies that refused to give us a loan and tell them we have the contract, it's time to oppress as I'll specially invite them.” She smirked. “Tell them we'll be throwing a party to celebrate this achievement. So we'll be expecting them.” Her assistant nodded and left her office, getting to work immediately. ***Harry turned uncomfortably on the hospital bed, his body aching tremendously. Turning to his butler, “I want you to deal with Brian. When he had the power to stop people from harassing me, he stood there and did nothing. He watched me beg and disgrace myself! He needs to

Hearing Harry's voice, everyone turned to look at Brian. Lady Elizabeth was shocked beyond words. Even if Brian is a broke poor and good for nothing, she wasn't expecting him to stoop so low, stealing in such a gathering. Flustered, she approached Brian and slapped him so hard that everyone gasped. Tears stinged in Brian's eyes as he saw that no one was willing to believe him. Harry was pleased with how Brian was getting embarrassed, but he wasn't satisfied. “Brian, speak up! Why did you deny it when it was with you all along?” Brian refused to say a word, he knew it was useless to say anything. Harry would only use it to frame him the more. The young lady then said, “Mr, the gem in your hands is worth 3 million dollars. Look at it, it's cracked. You're going to pay me!” Brian was the target of hostile stares as people whispered to one another. “The son in-law is doomed. Is he ever going to get out of this?”“I'm sure he's never going to get out of this. I mean, he probably stol

“Take him to where? Leave him alone!” Lyra wailed as she ran to Brian's side. Turning to Harry, “Why do you have to be such a jerk?!” She yelled. Harry walked towards her, his hands wrapped around her waist, “Lyra, let's make a deal. Sign the divorce papers and I'll let him go.” Lyra pushed him away roughly, her eyes blazing in anger, “I'll never sign those papers!” She yelled. Seeing Lyra's reluctance to sign the papers, Lady Elizabeth screeched, “Why don't you want to sign those divorce papers? You prefer living with a thief for the rest of your life?” Lyra ignored Lady Elizabeth's words and held Brian's hands, “Brian, if you really took it, you can confide in me. I'll get you a lawyer and you won't have to go to prison.” Brian stared at her, his eyes showing his pain,”You don't believe me too? I didn't steal from her. Can't you see that?” Lyra nodded but she was still doubting him. He hasn't been open to him on how he got the money for that limited edition diamond gown he got

On getting outside, Albert didn't beat around the bush. He stopped in his tracks, his eyes holding a lot of emotions, “Young master, about your father's death, someone was indeed behind it.” Brian's expression changed immediately. He clenched his fists by his sides, his fury palpable,”so this is it. Do you know who did it?” He asked curiously. “Someone tampered with his drip in the hospital. The person's face was masked so we were unable to get his identity. “ He paused for a while, “Master, you need to be careful. The same person might be after your life. Many are jealous of the Duke's achievements

“Brian!” Lyra called out as she ran downstairs with her phone in her hands, “Brian, I forgot about our Reunion. Our school reunion is in an hour!” “We have to go now.” She added as she dragged Brian upstairs, “Go in and get dressed.” Brian not sure on how to react, he wants interested in going to a reunion, it will only be an avenue to get insulted by those that knows nothing and perhaps, Martin would be there also because they all attended same college. But he doesn't want to disappoint his dear wife, he had to give in.Few minutes later, Brian walked down the stairs in a casual but fitted outfit.

Brian anger surged, but his wife's presence calmed him down. He doesn't like appearing all tough in front of his wife as she prefers soft life.Martin, however, waved it off with another opportunity to brag"Why are we stuck in this tiny room when there are better options?" he asked. "Let's upgrade to the exclusive VVIP room at the 66th floor!" Brian's frown deepened. "I don't think that's a good idea, Martin. The VVIP room is exclusive , and perhaps it is reserved for an important meeting with some high-profile business tycoons today."Martin's eyes narrowed. "And how do you know that? You pauper" He snapped. Brian's face cracked a little as he almost exposed himself. He knew the board of directors of the Duke's Conglomerate were having a confidential meeting in the only exclusive VVIP room, and if Martin crashed the meeting, they might accuse him of eavesdropping on sensitive information. Someone suddenly snapped at Brian, "You're just making unreasonable comments! If you can't aff

Albert shook his hand slightly, “Master, what's going on?” he asked, his voice laced with curiosity. Brian sighed, “This lady was the only one who cared for me when I had no one to turn to. Living in the orphanage was hell, but she was always there to tell me everything would be okay.” Brian then turned to Mrs Jane, “You don't look okay. What's the matter?” He asked slowly, his eyes showing concern. “Please sit.” He added as he collected the tray from her hands and placed it on the table. “I was framed and kicked out of the orphanage. Since then, I've been working as a waiter in restaurants, but because of my old age, it's been really hard to keep up with the work.” Her voice cracked as she explained. “I would have decided to ta..take a break, but I have a daughter in college who I have to provide for.” She added as she broke down in tears, her shoulders trembling slightly. Brian clenched his fists as he watched Mrs Jane cry. Ever since he was a child, she had always been there for

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.

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

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.

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
