“Brandon.” Theodore seethed, pondering why he was rooted at one position. Seeing his reluctance to apologize, a small smile graced Brian's lips. “Do you know the implication of what you just did?” he asked, his voice dropping to a lower degree, completely terrifying Theodore. Brian's expression was calm but his eyes were filled with anger. Anger towards the male lead of his movie! Theodore suddenly became uneasy. He Impatiently rubbed his palms on his tailored suit to calm himself down. “Mr..Mr Duke.” he stuttered, wanting to take control of the situation. When Brian didn't respond, Theodore turned to look at Brandon and clenched his fists in anger. “Apologize this instant.” he yelled, gaining the attention of people around. “You're merely a rookie actor. You're here because you're being backed by someone powerful but that doesn't mean you can talk to our major investor anyhow!” He spat, scolding Brandon in the presence of Brian. Satisfied, a pleased smile appeared on his lips, “Mr
After a few more minutes outside, Brandon strolled inside the building he had been living in for more than two weeks now. This new identity issue was taking a toll on him and driving him nuts. He sighed before walking into the living room. A few maids who lurked around the building inhaled a shaky breath as they saw Brandon. He was someone they were deeply terrified of. Apart from his insanely handsome face, nothing else was good about him. The last maid was lucky enough to escape at that dying moment. If she had been any second late, the glass would have hit her head. As Brandon walked towards his room, Jeremy chuckled as he strode out of the kitchen with a bowl of popcorn in his hands. “I was expecting you to use a few more hours outside. You're back so early?” he smiled, putting some popcorn in his mouth. “I was just about to start watching a movie. Would you like to join me?” He asked again, but Brandon stayed mute, knowing that Jeremy was indirectly mocking him. Without beat
Leviathan's voice dropped to a lower degree, making Brandon shift uncomfortably in his seat. The young man sitting across him was indeed terrifying. Only his voice was enough to instill fear in his heart. He averted his gaze from Leviathan and turned to look at Jeremy, indirectly asking for his help. Jeremy shrugged his shoulders and looked elsewhere. After all, Brandon was the one who had asked to meet whoever they were working for. Coming to Leviathan's home without results was like coming to a lion's den. Brandon sighed, “I'm still working on it. I'll make sure I get the location of the vault.” he said, his gaze fixed on the marble floor. Brandon had stared at Jeremy, wanting him to bail him out on this; but the bastard was too heartless. “Just give me a little more time.” he continued, raising his head to stare at Leviathan. Leviathan smirked, “How much time do you need? Do I look like someone that's willing to wait? Or you think I got you out of prison to listen to your filthy
The street bustled with life as everyone went about their daily activities. In a certain place close to the ocean, the director held the script and glared angrily at an actress who was taking too long to bring her character to life. Brandon on the other hand looked bored to death. He stared at the actress who fidgeted with her hands after being scolded by the director. She looked frustrated. The audition wasn't so hard. Why was the director acting strange? “We'll start again. Diana, bring your character to life. This shouldn't be so hard. I thought you were perfect for this role.” he snapped, wondering why Diana wasn't as good as they say. Although, during the audition she didn't have to do much due to the backing of someone powerful. Perhaps she was really a bad actress; and if she continues this way she would ruin the movie. “I'll try again.” Diana muttered, releasing her hands to place them at her sides. The first scene was about a girl who found out her lover had been cheating
“What's he doing here?” Brandon muttered below his breath, barely audible for anyone to hear; however, it didn't escape Ethan's ears. Ethan turned to stare at the man seated across him and smirked, wondering what connection he had with the CEO of the Duke Empire. Diana on the other hand was calm and composed. The young girl didn't look experienced and exposed. She was sure she wouldn't be able to muster the courage to perform. Few minutes later, Theodore turned to the young girl, “You should have checked through the script now. It's time to show us what you've got.” he said calmly and she nodded her head. Ivy was nervous and shaken. For the first time in her life, she was in the presence of well respected actors and actresses. It was like a dream come true. Something she had never believed to happen. With slow and practiced steps, she walked towards the man and woman who stood by the shore. “Action!” Theodore yelled and it didn't take up to a minute for Ivy to get into character. S
“What?” Brian gasped, unable to believe what he just heard. “What do you mean someone broke in? The security outside, the body guards, the CCTV cameras, did they avoid everything? They were able to go unharmed?” he asked again and Lyra nodded, unusually calm, “I don't know how they did it but I just noticed some missing files.” “Then are you okay?” Brian asked, checking her body thoroughly as fear settled in his heart. He facepalmed himself, wondering why he had allowed such a thing to happen. He should have known he couldn't underestimate them, but breaking into his home was so out of it. All his important documents were in Ashton Hills and for them to come here, they seem to be searching for something other than having him killed. Something important in his possession. Brian couldn't think of anything else other than the vault and staff. Practically, apart from the fact that the staff was built with gold, there was nothing special about it. However, the vault was extremely import
“Yes” Jeremy muttered, “Leviathan sent some of his men over.” He added, getting up to have a better view of Brandon. “I'm just shocked we were unable to find nothing. It's like Brian Duke has a completely clean record and safe handling of his important files. All the files there are useless.” he said, frustrated to death. Jeremy stared at his palm and sighed, tracing the stitch with his fingers, “This would be another scar. I wonder what I'll name you.” he chuckled, finding the whole matter amusing. As a teenager, Leviathan had taken Jeremy under his wing. Becoming the Cabal 8 leader at that young age, Leviathan became greedy and dangerous; he always wanted everything for himself, even at the expense of another person's life. Adding to that, Leviathan had the habit of torturing people for his own advantage. Jeremy was quite surprised he had refused to torture Brian into telling him where the vault was. If Leviathan was used to torturing everyone to have his way, why not do it wi
For the past few days, Brian had been busy clearing his schedule. After finding out about Richard's location, he had been looking forward to having a meeting with him. Finally, the perfect day for a meeting between two well respected and powerful men, and also a day to find out some certain secrets. The drive to the old man's house was smooth and peaceful. There was no disturbance and he also didn't notice any strange car tailing him. Last night, the special defense team of the Tycoon 6 arrived in Helix city. Brian relaxed because he finally had his family around him. People he could trust to protect his wife. Due to the way those men had broken into his house, Brian fired the previous bodyguards because he believed that some of them were spies; if not, none of them would have been granted entry into his home. Brian discarded the thoughts and focused on the road. After driving for a few more minutes, he finally arrived in front of the building. Compared to houses of the Tycoon 6 me
