In a dimly lit room, Brandon; the bastard son of the Dukes stared at the young man who sat across him. The young man, Gordon, adjusted his golden rimmed spectacles, refusing to look into Brandon's eyes. The tension in the air was palpable, and Brandon was close to exploding. His grip around the wine glass tightened, and in less than a minute, the glass shattered in his hands, piercing his skin and drawing out blood. With the broken shard of glass nestled in his skin, Brandon didn't wince or howl in pain. Instead, he removed the shard and flinged it away. Seeing his actions, Gordon gulped as a shiver went down his spine. If not that he was being threatened, he would have escaped a few months ago. “So they had a wedding. That's what you're here to tell me.” Brandon chuckled as blood dripped from his hands, “You allowed the wedding to go through. Why?” he asked, his gaze turning cold.

Lyra shook her head, hoping she just heard the wrong thing, but then, reality was harsh and cruel. Death was near and it wasn't just a peaceful one, but one full of pain and misery. However, there was one thing she was sure of. Brian would never sit still and watch her suffer. Instead, he would try his possible best to make sure she leaves this dreadful place unscathed. “That's not true.” Her voice was low and weak, showing the discomfort she was in, “My husband would never watch me suffer. When he comes, he'll make you pay for what you've done “ she spat, only to earn a slap from Brandon.

Getting to the building, he inhaled a sharp breath and walked in, adjusting his gun in his pocket. The winner takes it all.

His heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt like running over. However, a young man approached Lyra and placed a gun on her forehead, “Make a single step and she gets it.” Gordon threatened, and Brian couldn't help but frown. The voice sounded too famil

Gordon on the other hand tried to escape, but a few men rushed in and held him in place.Clad in a black outfit, a young man approached Brian, “Master, we're always here to help. You could have called us.” he smiled as he bowed his head, showing his utmost respect for Brian. Brian frowned, “Who are you?”“As the leader of the Tycoon 6, you have your own group of men chosen to protect you to death. Compared to body guards, we're faster and swifter.” the leader, Preston, said curtly. Hearing Preston's words, Brian was quite shocked. Although he was the leader of Tycoon 6, there were still a lot of things he wasn't aware of. “Then how did you know I was here?” he asked as he eyed them suspiciously, and Preston couldn't help but chuckle. “Master, to earn the

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.

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

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

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. 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.
