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,
The next day, Alexander strode into Zelyn holdings headquarters, a company under the Duke's conglomerate, his assistant following him closely. He decided to dress cooperates, just to show how serious he is. Getting signed as an ambassador under this company will help his career in a million ways. While other actors and actresses have been denied, they reached out to him because of his sudden rise to stardom. His assistant then said, “Sir, no matter what, keep your anger in check. We can't afford to misuse this opportunity.” Alex ignored him and approached the secretary, who was staring at him immediately as he came in. Her eyes were fixed on him as her heart hammered in her chest. Did she eat something strange for being allowed to see her idol today? She beamed as she hurriedly said, “A…Mr Alex..it's so nice to have you here.” “I'm here to see the director.” Alex calmly said as he sat down on a chair, not waiting for her to ask him to sit. Surprised by his cold attitude, she clenc
For the past few days, Brian had been bothered by the way directors refused to side with him,his father's bastard son is really pulling some strings. What could have gone wrong? After completely taking over Lady Elizabeth's company, Brian became the CEO with the name, “Mr Duke.” Due to his hidden identity, he would only send Albert for important meetings. Following the advice of Albert, he decided not to crumble the company. Instead, he's going to make more money from it. As he was calmly sipping on his tea, lady Elizabeth barged into his room, her eyes blazing with anger. “Brian, how dare you?!” She yelled as she approached him. “Do I always need to remind you of your daily duties?!” she added as she collected the cup from his hands only to smash it on the ground. “Get up and go do the dishes, and prepare breakfast!” She snapped as she turned to walk away. Brian stared at her back and gritted his teeth in anger. Few minutes later, a wicked smile was plastered on his lips. Very soo
Brian opened his mouth to speak, but on seeing he has got the backing of fellow tormentors Martin's hand flew straight to his cheeks, shutting him up, “You want to talk while lady Elizabeth is talking? Even if you weren't taught manners, you should still have some sense of reasoning. Are you that daft?” Brian was completely speechless by the way things played out today. First, it was lady Elizabeth, then Tyla, and now Martin? He tried his best to control the anger raging inside, but Martin was still adding fuel to the fire. He pulled his clothes roughly, his eyes glinting coldly, “Brian, if you had collected these books, all these wouldn't have happened. Now, you'll provide the money I used to buy all these books!” He declared. Hearing Martin's words, Tyla's gaze fell on the books scattered on the ground. Bending to pick it up, a mischievous smile curled up her lips. Turning to lady Elizabeth, “Grandma, take a look at this book. Only if Brian can read and learn from it. The book tit
