Moments later, Brian hurriedly left Frank's office. Upon reaching Marcus's office, he knocked gently but he received no response. “Hello, Mr Marcus..” Brian said, continuously knocking on the door as he eagerly waited for Marcus to respond. A few seconds later, Marcus opened up the door, “what do you want?” he asked, his anger palpable. Brian smiled, pushing the door open, “Why don't you let me in first? I think I might have the solution to your problem.” Marcus furrowed his brows, “What do you mean?” he asked, slamming the door shut. “Did I tell you I have a problem?!” Brian pulled out a chair for himself and sat down calmly, “I know you have a problem.” He began, “I know everything that's bothering you.” Marcus grinned and sat down, “Do you think you're in the right position to say this? You're a mere assistant. No, you're not even a mere assistant but a Junior assistant. What good can you do?” A smile curled up on Brian's lips as he gazed at Marcus, “I don't think it's right to

Brian leaned in, his eyes locked intensely on Marcus's anxious face, his voice taking on a reassuring tone. "Here's the plan, Marcus. We'll create a fake Blueprint, one that looks authentic enough to fool even the smartest people, your boss. We'll make sure it's convincing, with all the right markings and details, but ultimately, it will be a fake."Marcus's brow furrowed in concern, his heart racing in fear. "What's the point of that? He'll just keep my wife until he verifies it's the real thing. If he should discover it's a fake then my wife is doomed."Brian nodded, understanding Marcus's worries. "Exactly, Marcus. That's how Mafia bosses like Logan Pierce operate. He'll want to test it and make sure it's legitimate before releasing your wife. And that's when we'll make our move. We'll use this fake Blueprint as bait, to lure him into a trap."Marcus's eyes widened as understanding dawned on him, his face etched with a mix of hope and fear. Brian then said, "You'll put a tracker o

The next day, Marcus, together with Frank and Brian began to plan Sophie's escape. Marcus was overwhelmed by the thought of going against his boss, but then, he decided to place his hope in Brian. Seeing Marcus lost in thoughts, Brian turned to him, “Marcus, this will work out. You need to put your mind at rest.” Marcus nodded. Frank then got up, “I'll go over to James’s office for the Blueprint. Since we're creating something that's very similar to it, taking note of a few things from the original version is very important.” Brian nodded in approval. “Yes, that's correct. We can't afford to make any mistakes since someone's life is on the line.” Upon getting to James's office, the CEO of Diadem Holdings knocked gently and waited patiently for James to ask him to come in. A few seconds later, his authoritative voice was heard, “Come in.” Frank pushed the door open and smiled, finding his best friend in a good mood. “You're all smiles, James. What's the occasion?”James chuckled sli

However, the fact that Frank was indirectly calling him incompetent hurt his pride, but in the real sense, it was the truth. James sighed, “Alright. If Jordan is a spy, then we need to do something about it.” Frank nodded. “Yes, we'll do something about it. However, there's a very important issue at hand right now. The Blueprint, I really need it.” he said urgently. James eyed him, “Don't think I'll give you this Blueprint without telling me everything. What do you need it for?” He asked while he continued checking on some files. Frustrated, Frank ruffled his hair with his hands and grunted, “I need it to get a spy's boss okay? I need to make a fake blueprint from the original one and we're running out of time.” James grinned as he saw Frank almost erupting from anger. “There there,” he said. A few minutes later, he pointed at a cabinet on one side of the office, “Check the last drawer and you'll find it there. Tom hasn't completed it, but he gave me a photocopy to go through it.”F

Brian inhaled a sharp breath and bowed slightly, “I'm sorry ma'am.” Jane ignored him and returned back to her seat, her hand hurting from the impact of the slap. “Get out of here!” she seethed and Brian turned around to leave. He angrily picked up his phone and texted Albert since Frank was busy with the Blueprint. ‘Albert, there's something I need you to do for me.’Albert was shocked by the message he saw. Immediately, he dialed Brian's number, delighted his master texted him after a long time. Brian hurriedly went to the bathroom and picked up the call. “Albert, you weren't supposed to call me.” Brian said softly. Albert shook his head slightly, “Master, I'm sorry. Should I hang up now?” “Nevermind. I'm in the bathroom already.” Albert then said, “Master, how's the undercover Job coming up? Have you been able to notice any spy?” Brian nodded, “Yes, but it hasn't been easy at all.” Albert sighed, “Master, don't worry. It's only for a certain period of time. Soon, you'll be back

Logan grinned, “Marcus, now you have the guts to call me by my first name? “ Marcus didn't give Logan a response. As Marcus was silent, Logan scoffed, “That's okay. Meet me in front of my company by 8pm sharp. Don't even be late by a minute.” he ordered as he hung up the call without waiting for Marcus to respond. Hearing his words, Marcus headed home with the Blueprint in his hands. …Moments later, Brian's phone made a beeping sound as a new message just came in. Brian picked up his phone and saw a text from Albert. ‘Jane has been embezzling the company's funds for some years now. This evidence is below.’Brian clicked on the picture and gasped. Jane has been transferring a huge amount of money to a foreign account on the 23rd of every month. Why on earth would she do something like that? He picked up his phone and headed straight to Frank's office. “Frank, I want you to sack Jane.” he began as he sat down calmly. Brian pushed his phone to Frank and showed him the picture. Frank

Jane continued to yell as she was dragged out of the office. Brian stared at her and chuckled slightly, glad she had met her end. Remembering something important, Frank suddenly said “Stop.”Jane turned around, tears clouding her vision. As she heard his voice, her heart raced as she wished Frank would just overlook everything and forgive her. However, his next words shattered her heart completely, making it slightly difficult for her to breathe. “Expect our lawyer soon,” he said coldly as he turned around to leave. Jane trembled, her eyes widening in terror. A lawyer? If they should file a case against her, then her life is completely ruined. “Vice chairman!” she wailed as she ran after him, “Please, please I'm really sorry.” she whispered, but Frank ignored her and entered his office. Few seconds later, the security personnels came and dragged her outside. As they walked down the hall, her gaze landed on Brian and she suddenly felt angry. The fact that she was humiliated in front o

Brian quickly ended the call and turned to Frank “Where's he going?”. Frank sighed, "He's probably going home." Brian looked disappointed, his mind racing with thoughts. He had hoped to track Logan and find Marcus’ wife, but now it seemed unlikely.Brian and Frank exchanged a tense look, knowing they had to act fast. But Logan's unpredictable behavior made it hard to plan their next move. "Let’s get ready, Frank," Brian said firmly. "We'll follow him and see where he goes. We can't miss this chance." Frank nodded, understanding Brian's statement. Even if he was going to his home, who knows if he was going to branch to another place. Brian and Frank carefully followed Logan's car, keeping a safe distance to avoid being noticed. The late hour and quiet roads made it easier to tail him without being seen. As they drove, Logan suddenly sped up, taking a long curve on the road. Brian and Frank exchanged a glance, a suspicious glance as they followed Logan's car. Moments later, Logan pul

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? Don't you want to have fun in the pool?” Brian raised his voice, calling Lyra’s attention as he floated in the pool. Rather than settling do

Tyla tried to resist, but she was still dragged away harshly in the presence of all her employees. They all mocked her, glad that her end was finally here. Tyla cried and begged, but all her cries fell on deaf ears. A few days later after the chaos in Ashton Hills, Lawrence foyer, emerged as the winner of the presidential election, all thanks to Brian and his hard work as well. To thank Brian for everything, he decided to hold a banquet in Brian's name. Lyra strode into the hall with a wide smile on her lips. Her raven-dark hair cascaded down her waist in wavy curls, and the emerald gown she was putting on accentuated her hourglass figure. Her nanny walked right behind her with her kids, Ginny and Georgia, and Lyra couldn't ask for more. She turned to her husband, Brian who walked right beside her, his blue boraldo suit bringing out his striking features. His hair was styled like he should be on the cover of a magazine. His steps were slow, but powerful. Merely by walking, he comma

Dracula was able to escape Duncan's wrath, but Duncan couldn't care less. He was only concerned about the election and the success of it. The presidential election was taking place in Ashton Hills and several other cities across the country. Duncan was nervous and so was Austin, but since they had already bribed, threatened and forced several people, they relaxed a little. A few days ago, Duncan had asked one of his men to check if Brian was really in a critical condition and yes, It was true.Brian was presently in the hospital, bound to several machines because his life was on the line. Duncan couldn't be more excited. Immediately after winning the election, he would instruct his men to finish him up. Right now, the election could proceed with Brian out of the way. Austin walked out of his building, shoulders raised, head held high. He was nervous, but deep down he knew he was going to emerge as the winner. While the election was taking place across all states and cities in the co

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. Duncan slammed his fists on the desk, his skin flushed from anger. 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

A man opened up the car for Lawrence, and as soon as he alighted from the car, about three to five men accompanied him to the coffee shop. In locations like these, Lawrence looked like the king among mere mortals with his commanding presence. His men stood on guard outside while he pushed the door and walked into the coffee shop.A few days ago, a senator contacted him and told him about Duncan's threats. At first, Lawrence couldn't believe it. He knew Duncan was bringing people to his side, but he never thought Duncan would threaten people to side with Austin. Not until Mike told him about his wife's condition. Mike explained the whole situation to Lawrence, and Lawrence was determined to rescue his wife from the claws of Duncan. Mike couldn't do any other thing than trust the president's words. Working with Duncan was like working with the devil himself. Even after doing all they want, they might still kill his wife in cold blood. He wasn't ready to experience that. Sighting Brian

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. He was only a senator, but he had influence like the governor of a whole stat

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

Due to the president's words, Killian did his personal research on the dancing 9, but he realized that It was quite hard to get anything on the group. However, that only fueled his desire to know more, especially why they wanted the presidential position. Few days into the search, Killian confirmed the president's words. 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. If not for the president, he would have been in the dark for ages. Few minutes later, a waiter walked towards him with a tray. He bowed towards Killian, “Good day, sir. I would like to take your order.” Slowly, Killian raised his head to meet the waiter’s eye, “I'm expecting someone soon. I'll take my order once he arrives.” His voice was soft, polite, and unconsciously, the waiter's lips curled into a smile. Killian had a meeting with Austin at this particular restaurant. Howev
