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.

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.

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

Lyra turned to Brian, “Honey, what's this?” She asked, her voice laced with curiosity. Her husband has a stable job already according to him. He has no reason to steal from Martin, but now that lady Elizabeth was also present, she was starting to believe that Brian had a hand in it. “Lyra, believe me, I didn't do it, you should have gotten used to them always coming for me every time.” Brian explained softly. Tyla scoffed, “So who took it? I stole from my husband?” Brian sighed, “Perhaps there's no stolen money.” Martin's expression cracked a little but he quickly composed himself. He pointed angrily at Brian, “You bastard, are you calling me a liar?!” He approached him, his hands holding Brian's collar, “I'm going to leave you today because I'm more than a thousand dollars. Don't try this cunning behavior with me again.” He spat as he pushed Brian to the ground. At the same time, Harry's luxurious car arrived at the Brook's family mansion, in his black sleek latest edition Aston

Few days later,In a luxurious office at central Ashton, An old man with a bald head sat down on a chair, his fingers continuously tapping on the desk in front of him. His assistant, Steve moved back slightly, his body trembling in fear. “So what did you say happened? Are you sure you're telling me the truth?” Landon Scott, Martin's father asked, his voice cold and menacing, sending shivers down Steve's spine. “The Duke's empire..they've stopped investing in our company. And Due to this. He paused, other companies stopped investing too because they believe that for the Duke's empire to stop investing in a company, they must have some reasons for taking that action.” He concluded. Landon slammed his fists on the desk, almost shattering it. “So you're telling me that the Duke's empire and a few other investors have..stopped investing in my company and I'm just knowing this?” He growled. “Y…yes yes..” Steve stuttered as he hung his head low, afraid of gazing into His boss's eyes.

Speechless, Roy said, “Please, I'll be quite busy with my work. Let's meet some other time.” He said, indirectly asking them to leave his office. Landon slapped Martin again, “You bastard, get on your knees and beg him. “ He roared. Frightened, Martin knelt down, tears threatening to spill from his eyes, “I'm..I'm sorry sir.” He stuttered as his heart suddenly felt bitter. If he was being punished for something he did, it would have been better, but he did nothing wrong and was being treated this way? Landon dragged Martin out of the director's office in anger, “You bastard, you're stripped of your title of being the heir to my company. Also, forget about your shares. If you manage to change my mind, I might reconsider. But for now, don't come to my company ever again. I do not want to be associated with you and your problems.” He said in one breath as he left Martin all alone in the Duke's empire. Martin ran after his father, “Dad, dad, please. I really need my shares. It will ruin

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

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.
