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
Rodger stared at Victoria, wondering if what he was doing was wrong. Since he was starting to feel emotional, he turned around, wanting to leave the room, until Victoria, Brian's mother uttered a word, "Please, let me go. I won't cooperate with you no matter what." She said Rodger, making him feel guilty, but he still left anyway.As he closed the door behind him, he couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt that lingered. He knew this wasn't the first time he was doing a Job like this, he just didn't understand why he felt so guilty. Rodger had never been soft, due to the numerous scars in his life, and now that he was starting to become soft, it was a big problem. Rodger took a deep breath and tried to compose himself. He needed to focus on the task at hand and not let his emotions get the better of him. Meanwhile, Victoria was left alone in the room, her mind racing with thoughts of escape and rescue. She knew Brian would come for her, but she wasn't sure if he would make it in ti
Martin's heart raced as he wondered why his father would suddenly want to target the Duke's Empire. The fact that he promised to return his shares, and his position as the heir was the most surprising, as he knew his father was up to something even more cunning. However, since he was getting his shares, he was glad to own a part of the company again, and with his position as the heir to the Scotts Empire, he was going to frustrate Brian's life and make him wish he never crossed his path. Martin was delighted by the news, and with that, he immediately set out to his father's company. As he stepped in, the employees stared at him, wondering what he was doing in the company. Martin ignored the disdainful glances and walked towards his father's office, surprised to see him smiling heartily. Martin scoffed, his heart clenched as he saw the manipulative man who was his father. His father, Landon Scott was very greedy, and perhaps that was where he got his own greediness from. Landon rais
In a deserted area far away from the city, a forsaken warehouse stood. There were no trees, no birds, and no single sign of life. The area was extremely quiet, so that even if a pin dropped, it could be heard. Robert walked out of the warehouse, his face twisted in an ugly scowl. He happened to have overheard Harry's words, and he knew Harry was referring to him. How was he so stupid to have believed him in the first place? Maya, and even Martin warned him, but he chose to believe that bastard instead. Robert took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, placing it on his lips to calm himself. As his organization was running out of funds, Robert didn't know what else to do. Even though the black eye was well known by everyone, he didn't know why getting a job this time was so hard. Frustrated, he kicked his car repeatedly to the extent of injuring himself. The fact that he allowed himself to get played by Harry hurt his pride, and for that, he knew exactly what he was going to d
