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
The next day, Brian resumed work early, his mind completely occupied by the recent issues with his company. As soon as he stepped into his office, Albert walked in, reminding him of his meeting with the directors and some investors. Brian placed his hands on his forehead, his frustration palpable. “I'm on this matter. I'll resolve it today. Can't I have some time for myself?” he asked, his voice laced with anger. 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 heart raced as he asked his mother what was going on, but she just told him, "I just need to talk to you, my son. I'm quite worried." Her voice was laced with concern, and Brian could sense the urgency in her tone.Without hesitation, Brian left the company and headed to his mother's residence. He couldn't shake off the feeling that something was seriously amiss.As he arrived at her residence, he saw his mother sitting calmly in the living room. Her face was etched with worry, and she looked quite disturbed. "Mother, what's going on?" Brian asked, his voice filled with concern.But before she could respond, Brian entered the house and saw his mother slicing an apple gently. "Mother?" Brian called out softly, his eyes fixed on her.She looked up, a hint of a smile on her face, and told him to come closer. Brian's heart still raced with anticipation, wondering what she wanted to talk to him about."Brian, my dear son, I know you're strong and capable, but I can't help but worr
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. I'll make sure to make your life miserable.” Filled with rage, Brian's pushed all the files on his desk to the ground, his body trembling from anger, ”Don't you dare lay your hands on my mother!” He snapped. “I'm the one you want! Leave her alone!” Harry laughed out loud, enjoying the tension in the air. “You think I won't touch her? If I don't touch her, how am I supposed to make your life miserable?” he asked, pulling Brian mother's hair, making her cry out loud. “Brian, just do whatever he says. Don't make him angry.” Victoria, Brian's mother whimpered, her voice laced with fear. Brian became alarmed, his heart thumping
Albert was completely stunned by Brian's revelation, his mouth agape. “Master, how could that have happened? 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
Harry walked towards Lyra, his smile never leaving his face. With each passing time, Lyra seems to become more pretty, and more vibrant. Her beauty enchants him, rendering him completely speechless, and breathless. Harry's obsession for Lyra runs deep, and if destroying Brian would get her, he would do it a thousand times. 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
Brian nodded, “Yes, she was kidnapped yesterday. I'm still shocked till this moment.” he said, his heart racing with fear as he remembered his mother's screams. What would she be facing all alone in the hands of that monster? The fact that there was nothing he could do angered him to the core. Lyra gasped, tears pricking the corner of her eyes, “Brian, I'm so sorry.” she whispered, her grip on his hands tightening. “I'm sorry I wasn't there to help.” She added, her heart filled with pain as she imagined what Brian had to go through alone. Lyra remembered when his mother was still sick, and how Brian had put his pride aside and beg Lady Elizabeth just to sponsor her treatment. Even after saving his mother's life, he wasn't supposed to face something like this again. Her heart ached for him, but there was nothing she could do. All she wanted was for Brian to be okay, but he was far from that. Brian was far from being okay. “How did it happen? Are you working towards it? Perhaps by tr
Harry stepped in, anger written all over his face. Due to the humiliation he received from Lyra, he felt like snapping Brian into two. Since Lyra thought he was merely saying nonsense, he was going to proceed with his plans this instant. Rodger sighted him, wondering what he was doing here by this hour. Harry ignored him and bent down In Front of Victoria, his face twisted in an ugly scowl. Harry pulled her hair roughly, making her scream. He then picked up his phone and called Brian, wanting to threaten him with his mother. Brian was seated calmly in his office, eagerly anticipating Harry's next call. Suddenly, Albert rushed into his office, a lit up expression on his face. “The Man is calling, master. Silas didn't want to pick it up, he didn't want to sound suspicious. We need to go to the IT department now, sir.” Albert's voice was laced with excitement as he pulled the tired Brian up. Upon reaching the IT department, Silas handed him the phone, “Mr Duke, act normal.” he mouthed
