Brian smiled. “Harry, you've framed the Heir of the Duke's Empire. Do you understand the gravity of your offense? To make matters worse, you're still denying it? ” He turned to Albert. “Contact my lawyer and inform him of this situation.”Harry immediately fell to his knees, “Pl..please.please. I can explain.It was a mistake.” He pleaded, not caring about his reputation. “Mr Duke..” he called out but Brian simply ignored him. His hands were clenched by his fists, his body trembling from anger as he begged Brian, someone he had mocked several times.Albert nodded in approval. Remembering something, he then asked, “Master, what about the lady?”Brian placed his hands on his forehead. “I'll think of the punishment she deserves. Now, kick both of them out of this banquet,” he ordered, making Harry stagger backwards. “No! Nobody should come close to me! I'm the heir of McDaniel's empire!” he snapped, but Brian's bodyguards ignored him. They dragged both him and Lily roughly, not caring abo

Within an upscale executive suite, Brian was seated on a couch, calmly staring at the men with the supposed title, “Tycoon 6”. They all stared at him, their eyes scrunching up in disgust. no way they are accepting a toddler to dictate for them. They didn't rate him well enough to be a member let alone the leader. An old man, John,stood up, slamming his fists on the desk, his eyes flaring up in anger, “So you're the new member of Tycoon 6?” He asked as he glared angrily at Brian, “You're not as experienced as your Father! What can a young man like you offer us?” He spat. Others nodded in approval. “You're too young to be part of the group. I'm afraid we won't allow this.” “Yes, you're not fit to be a part of this group.” Brian's chilly gaze swept through everyone seated, making them shiver slightly as the temperature of the room dropped.

Lady Elizabeth was frightened to death by Brian's question. She was suddenly afraid of the man she mocked everyday of her life. Brian was powerful now, and none of them in the Brooks family would dream of reaching that high social class ladder in the society as he's miles ahead. “B..Brian” she stuttered, “Brian, my beloved son-in-law, welcome back.” She added as she avoided his gaze, making Brian chuckle as he saw Lady Elizabeth's embarrassed face for the first time. “So I'm your beloved son-in-law now?” He asked, his eyes staring intently at her almost boring holes into her body. “Y..y..yes.” Lady Elizabeth mumbled, not daring to say something that would upset him. Waving it aside, he turned to the Maid who's knees were still on the ground. His eyes turned cold as he stared at her. Brian's heart twisted in pain as he remembered how she made him do the same work over and over again just to make him feel what the maid's are passing through.

He was calmly sitting in his office, his hands calmly tapping of the desk, “Albert, is everything in order?” Brian asked after a while. “Yes, master.” Albert nodded. “ The press conference will be held in 2 hours. There, you can announce to the whole City you're the new CEO of the Duke's Empire.” Brian smiled, “Fair enough. Now that the directors have agreed, there's nothing else to worry about. Albert, who could have thought that idea would have worked?” Albert grinned, “Yes master. Your father was a very nice man, and for them to agree easily, he must have done a lot of things for them.” Checking his wrist watch, “Master, we need to go now. Let's not keep the reporters waiting.” He added as he stood up to leave.***In a conference room in the Company's headquarters.The room was filled with reporters, cameras, and Company executives.

Brian walked into the hospital room, a mix of emotions swirling inside him. He hadn't seen his mother in months, not since he'd arranged for her to be transferred to this private hospital. He'd been busy with work and hadn't made time to visit, but now he regretted that decision."Mother, please listen to me," Brian said, his voice softening as he approached her bedside.But Sophie refused to look at him, her eyes fixed on the wall ahead. "You've made your choice, Brian. You've chosen your company over your family. I don't want to hear your excuses."Brian sighed, feeling a pang of guilt. He knew his mother was right. He'd been so focused on proving himself as CEO that he'd neglected those closest to him."Mom, I know I haven't been around, but I'm trying to make things right. I want to take care of you, to make sure you get the best treatment," Brian said, his voice filled with sincerity.Sophie's gaze finally met his, her eyes flashing with anger.

Arden laughed out loud, his shoulders trembling slightly as he tapped “Brian, will you tell your friend you hired to stop joking? Who would use the Duke's empire to have fun?! Don't you know how prestigious they are?” Brian smiled, his eyes fixed on Arden, “I'm the new CEO of the Duke's empire. Didn't you hear the news?” He asked as he leaned close, a mocking smile playing on his lips. “Arden, even if you're outside the country, the Duke's empire is now international. Even if you don't know who the particular person is, you must have heard that a new CEO was just appointed.” Arden frowned, “Brian, stop with the jokes!” He snapped as he picked up his phone to check the trending news. Picking the catch topic “The Handsome CEO of the Duke's empire.” His eyes Widened in surprise as his legs suddenly felt weak. Arden zoomed the picture several times, his heart not willing to accept the news. “This person….” His voice trailed off as he looked at the picture on the Internet and Brian's f

Brian searched through the files quickly, looking for important information. Just then, Albert came in, looking worried, his once calm face etched with concern. "Master, I think I know why the stock market is dropping rapidly against us. It's because of a rumor," Albert said. "People are saying mean things about you. It's all over the Internet. They're saying you're not smart enough to be the CEO. Plus, they even called you uneducated.They’re really taking things too far."Brian sighed, frustrated. "So now people think I'm not smart enough? How far will they go to make me quit my position as the CEO, my right as the successor to my father. Haven't they done enough?"Brian shook his head, thinking about who might be spreading the rumors. "This is just a mean trick to make me look bad. But I won't let them get away with it."he said, his fists clenched by his sides. Albert nodded. "I'm already working on a statement to fix the rumor. Master, We'll find out who's behind this and clear y

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?

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.

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.

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

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.
