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
As it appears to Harry that Brian is gaining more confidence this days, he wonders how he's escaping his wrath. After all he's still the same live-in son-in-law pauper everyone despise. But how could someone like that keeps getting in his way? When did he start knowing some important figures in the society.Harry anger surged as he couldn't figure out how someone from the orphanage could be giving him tough time, a whole him; heir to the prestigious McDaniels empire. It is time to take things to new level and nothing can stop him, he promised to start by getting Lyra for himself as he's been longing to have a taste of her for long but her loyalty tied to Brian is what he don't understand.***Few weeks later, Due to the contract the Brook's empire just won, Companies began to reach out to Lyra as she was the representative that lead them to victory. A company, Go limited invited lyra for a world press conference as their speaker. Lady Elizabeth was thrilled when she heard this news b
Harry was connected to the black market as well. Infact, he was specialized in that area. He meddle in a lot of illegal dealings and also blackmail important figures and get ransom as a side business, reason he has been secretly searching for the Duke's Heir that has been operating under the radar. Even after his father's death, no one has gotten a whiff of him. Harry can never in a million times imagine it to be Brian in front of him, who he despise so much.Brian ways this days confuses him though, Getting such amount of money in a short period of time is impossible. Even as the heir to Mcdaniels empire, his monthly inflow was less than a billion. If not because he was involved in shady dealings, he wouldn't have been feared in Ashton Hills. Being referred to as the young master of a rich family alone would make him soft, but having enough experience in the black market would make him more respected. He turned to Brian and concluded, “Yes, you're involved in shady dealings. I should
“Just who is he calling now?” Harry mocked as he stared at Brian who was seriously talking to someone over the phone. Moments later, a middle aged man entered the mall, his eyes searching for a certain someone. Albert was dressed in a black suit, making him look like an official. Beside him was a body guard, just in case something goes wrong. Sighting Brian, he smiled softly, “You're here.” He said out loud, not calling him master in public because he was still hiding his identity. Hearing Albert's voice, Brian's tensed muscles relaxed. Harry turned to look at Albert, his eyes searching for an explanation. He turned his gaze to Brian, as realization hit him “This is who you call now for your fake life ?” he said, as he remembers the last occurrence that involved Albert. Albert smiled, his shining white teeth in full display, “I'm here to buy the dress and the mall.” He declared, his voice cold and unyielding. He then turned to Brian, “I'll pay for the dress now and buy the mall. A
At the Brook's Enterprises Lady Elizabeth smashed a glass cup on the ground,shattering it completely. She grabbed the assistant's hand roughly and yelled, “Tell me you're joking?! How could that have happened?!”Abigail, Lady Elizabeth's assistant tried to free herself from Lady Elizabeth's grip but it was impossible. She then said, “Lady Elizabeth, please calm down. You need to process it first.”Lady Elizabeth growled, pushing everything on her desk to the ground, her body trembling in anger, “How can you tell me to calm down!” At the same time, Tyla rushed in suddenly, stopping in her tracks as she saw the mess lady Elizabeth just caused. Her face was pale and there were slight cuts on her hands due to the glass she smashed on her hands. Walking slowly, “Grandma, what's the problem?” She asked gently, her voice extremely soft as she didn't want to anger her the more. Lady Elizabeth simply stared at her as her mind was somewhere else. Suddenly, she screamed, her voice loud and dea
Lyra gazed at herself in the mirror and smiled. The dress perfectly hugged her body, giving her a majestic look. Her raven-like hair flowed down to her waist, giving her the look of a fairy that just walked out of a painting. As she descended the stars, Brian's eyes were fixed on her, his heart thumping loudly in his chest as he gazed at his beautiful wife. Lyra had a smile plastered on her face as she hooked her arms around Brian's, “Shall we?” “Yes, let's go.” he replied as they walked out of the house. Tyla glared at their retreating figure and turned green with envy. The dress Lyra was putting on was the talk of the town. Every lady had been saving up to buy the perfect dress, but when they heard the price they decided to go for something else. Tyla remembered the last time she went to the mall. The dress wasn't on display because of the delicate diamonds that were neatly arranged on it. However, she went forward to ask for the price, but when the attendee said it was 5 million
When Alexander noticed she was alone, he then approached her, a smile playing on his lips, “Hello.” he said as he stretched his hand forward for a handshake. “I'm Alexander, a well known actor in Hollywood. “ He bragged. Lyra looked at him as her face lit up in a smile,”Nice to meet you. I'm Lyra.” She replied as she shook his hand. Seeing her smile up close, Alex gulped mischievously. “Lyra, can I take you for dinner?” He suggested. However, Brian approached them, his hands wrapped tightly around Lyra's waist, “She's occupied for tonight.” he hit back instantly. Alex grinned as he eyed Brian, his eyes filled with disgust, “She's occupied with who? You?” He asked as he checked Brian out over and over again, his expression mocking as he stared at his cheap suit. Lyra then raised her fingers up, “I'm married.” She said as she pointed at the rings elegantly sitting on her fingers. Alex clenched his fists, his anger started to boil . Now that he has finally met the woman of his dreams,
