In a well furnished building, Rodger had a delighted grin on his face as he stared at Martin, who was thanking him from the bottom of his heart. “That's okay. This is just the beginning. Let's just hope this plays, and that Brian would never counterattack this plan. If that should happen, I'm afraid there's nothing else I can do.” Rodger said calmly. Martin's furrowed his brows in confusion, “Boss, what do you mean? You promised to destroy Brian to the end. Why are you saying this?” Maya turned to Martin, her face twisted in an ugly scowl, “How dare you question him!” she snapped. Frightened, Martin immediately lowered his gaze, “I'm sorry, boss.” he whispered. Rodger turned to Maya, giving her an assuring gaze, “It's okay.” He then said, “I know I promised to help you destroy Brian to the end, but I'll have to let that go because I've found a better offer.” Martin's heart skipped a beat, “A better offer? A better offer than mine? You want to kick me out of the boat?” he asked, his

Albert lowered his head, bowing slightly, “I'm sorry master. Perhaps the meeting should be postponed.” he suggested and Brian nodded, “That would be better. I need to hear from Silas before I proceed.” Albert nodded and turned to leave. Brian sat down calmly, his mind disturbed by the image upsetting the public and ruining his reputation. He knew someone was planning to kick him out of his position, but who? Who would dare to scheme something that huge? As Brian was still thinking about the entire matter, Silas knocked on the door gently and entered, a frown etched on his

Brian's eyes flashed with anger, his heart pounding in his chest. “Don't use my mother to get at me!” He roared, “Come to me instead!” The person on the other line chuckled, delighted by Brian's frustration, “So you can get riled up this quickly?” Harry said, his voice altered by the voice changer, making it unrecognizable. “Brian, this is just the beginning.

How, who..I'm still confused.” he breathed, having a hard time wrapping his head around it. Brian seemed to be in a trance, his eyes whirling with a thousand emotions. Frightened, Albert shook his body slightly, “Master, don't think too much about it, we'll get to the root of this matter. Your mother would be…”“Enough!” Brian's voice thundered in the room, laced with anger. “I've had enough! All you care about is my father's company, that's why you're asking me not to think about this. Do you know how important my mother is to me? That woman is my life!” Brian spat, his heart filled with pain. Albert was slightly hurt by Brian's words, but he understood Brian's pain. To be a CEO, one must be mentally stable and strong. With troubles coming from different sides, it was normal for Brian to be frustrated. “Master, the company isn't only my priority.” He began, his eyes softening

Lyra's face twisted in disgust as she turned around to leave, canceling the idea of shopping. When Harry grabbed her hand, a frown etched on his face, “Lyra, you're leaving without saying hello?” His voice was cold and frightening, sending shivers down Lyra's spine. Lyra pulled her hands from his grasp, angered by Harry's actions. “What do you think you're doing?” she snapped. Harry grinned, “Lyra, now you're talking to me this way? I see. It's probably because of Brian's new status. But come to think of it, what if he becomes a pauper again, would you run back to me,then?” he asked, his eyes whirling with a thousand emotions. Lyra was bewildered by Harry's statem

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.

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

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.

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
