The Underrated Duke's Heir Rise To Power Chapter 215
Brandon's eyes widened in surprise. He parted his lips as his fingers caressed them, shock evident in his eyes. He leaned closer, wondering if Ivy had unknowingly spilled out the wrong name, but she didn't seem to be joking. Seeing Brandon's reaction, Ivy didn't need anyone to tell her that they were indeed working for the same person. Ivy gasped, her eyes filled with some certain expression. Anger, confusion and shock. She couldn't believe it. Leviathan had hired her a few weeks ago, just to monitor and track the movements of a certain person. They both knew that Brian, wasn't an easy person to deceive, but once it comes to being nice to poor people, Brian would easily fall for it. Then, they decided to use his weakness against him. Ivy would call herself a spy in the entertainment industry. Someone that was there for a certain reason. Ever since she was a child, she wasn't fond of the entertainment industry. Ivy hated the way everyone had to wear a mask to hide their true persona

Waking up the next morning, Ivy was still bothered about what she found out yesterday. The meeting with Brandon changed Ivy's perspective about Leviathan. Initially, she had thought Leviathan simply needed the vault for wealth, but it seemed like he needed it for something else. Several times, before stepping out for the day, Leviathan would call to remind her of her mission. Sometimes, she just wonders why he's so cruel and heartless. He was forcing her into something she wasn't interested in, and whenever she refused, he threatened to take her life. Ivy shook her head and got up to prepare for the filming scene she had today. Today was also the first step in her mission. Getting ready for work didn't take Ivy up to thirty minutes. Moments later, she reached the set and walked towards the director, Theodore. Sighting the actress who had captured his heart with her intense emotions, his lips curled up in a smile. Also, due to the fact that Brian had brought her himself, he was bo

The whole crew watched as Ivy was hurriedly placed into the car. Even though they all hated her, It wasn't to the extent of watching her die in their presence. They inwardly prayed for her, hoping she would survive whatever she was going through at the moment. Seated in his car, Brian checked on Ivy from time to time. He was the one who had brought her to the set. He couldn't allow anything to happen to her. The drive to the nearest hospital shouldn't take up to thirty minutes. However, the car suddenly came to a stop. “Luther, what's going on?” Brian asked, his brows raised in question. He leaned forward and watched as Luther got down from the car, “Master, you need to take a look at this. I think we'll be stuck here for a while.” Luther said, his voice laced with worry. Luther's words gave Brian an uneasy feeling. Immediately, he got down from the car and went to check what Luther was talking about. “Master, here.” Luther whispered, and Brian moved closer. Luther pointed at the

Hours later, Ivy was discharged and free to return home. Brian had returned back home, but he cleared all her bills before leaving. Since Ivy was completely fine, he had no reason to wait in the hospital anymore. As Ivy walked out of the hospital, her mind flashed back to what had occured in the car. She noticed that Brian was staring at her suspiciously. Ivy knew she had made a mistake. Immediately he entered the car, she adjusted her leg and kicked the paper further, just so he wouldn't see it. Who would have thought he had seen the movements of her legs? Ivy shook her head and focused on the road. The area was dark and deserted. Ivy had to walk for a while before she found a taxi. With her head resting on the window, she picked up her phone and was surprised to find a message from an unknown number. “Meet me at the restaurant close to where you're working for the time being. Hurry. I don't have time to waste.” Ivy needed no one to tell her it was Leviathan. First, he was the on

Due to Leviathan's actions, Ivy flinched, fear evident in her eyes. Her gaze shifted to the broken glass and spilled wine. Leviathan had just tried to poison her because she wasn't with enough information. She tried to stand, but she realized there was this intense pain coming from her left leg. Ivy lowered her head to stare at her leg and sighed. It had been pierced by a glass. She averted her gaze and lowered her head. Ivy didn't dare to look at Leviathan. It was like giving herself a death sentence. Her body trembled slightly, but she refused to raise her head. Leviathan's anger was something no one would want to experience. With her head still lowered, Ivy’s eyes widened in surprise when she felt a firm hand wrapped around her neck. She tried to breathe, but it felt like all air had been sucked out of her lungs. Leviathan raised her up, his hands tightly wrapped around her neck. His eyes blazed with anger, and he badly felt like ending Ivy's life. After hiring her due to Brand

“When did you get here?” Ivy asked, her voice weak and hoarse. She raised her head to stare at Brandon, “Did you tail me? Followed my movements from the hospital?” she asked again, and Brandon's eyes flashed with an unknown expression. “How did you know?” he smiled, tilting his head as he stared at her. “I noticed a car following me, but I thought it was Leviathan trying to make sure I came to the venue.” she replied as she held his hands to drag herself up. A small yelp escaped her lips as her back wracked with pain. She fought the tears in her eyes and flashed a smile, “Thank you for coming, Brandon, but you could have done something.” she said, rolling her eyes in anger. “Hello. The restaurant was locked from the outside. I was only allowed to go a few minutes after Leviathan left.” Brandon explained. His gaze landed on the red mark on her neck, “Did he really do this to you?” Ivy nodded, tracing the mark with her hands. “Yes. He's really an animal. He didn't even spare a woman.

A few days soon passed by. Brandon was seated in his room, trying to draft out a plan. He knew Lyra, Brian's wife, was presently being heavily guarded . Just rushing there to kidnap her looks impossible and would only put them in trouble. “Dinner is ready.” A young girl’s voice was heard, telling Brandon it was time to eat dinner. Brandon ruffled his hair with his hands and walked straight to the dining room. Seated by the right side was Jeremy. His eyes were fixed on the food. He didn't even wait for Brandon to come over before feasting on it. Brandon smirked as he pulled out a chair for himself to sit on, “You're really hungry, aren't you, Jeremy?” he smiled, picking up his cutlery. Seeing the wonderful dish the chef had prepared this time, a look of awe was plastered on his face. “Are we celebrating a feast or something?” he asked, wondering why they prepared something so extravagant. “I'm the reason why they've prepared something this huge.” a cold, icy and frosty voice was he

As Brandon was still hitting Jeremy's body, his phone suddenly started ringing. Shaken by what had just happened, Brandon walked slowly towards the living room to pick up the phone. Hearing Leviathan's voice, he had to control the urge to smash the phone on the ground. “He'll be unconscious for a few hours. Don't bury him yet, and I have another Job for you. There's someone I need you to kill. I'll send his information to you. Get it done in a few days.” he said before hanging up. The words brought relief to his soul. Indirectly, Leviathan had told him Jeremy wasn't dead. Placing his phone in his pocket, he walked towards the dining area and carried Jeremy up. Moments later, after placing Jeremy in his bedroom, he picked up his phone to check Leviathan's message. Opening up the chat, he was surprised to see the picture of an old man. “Richard Luke.” he whispered, scrolling down to check if there was any other information about him. Seeing the permanent residence of the old man, he

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. Right next to the pool was a garden filled with so many flowers, It looked unreal. The air was peaceful, calm and serene. 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. She stared at her kids with so much love, her heart filled with content. These past few months had been the best time of her life. Since Tyla was serving her time in prison, she got her company back. Now, Lyra was the chairwoman of Brooks Empire. That's right, she changed the name back to the initial name, and the crumbing company became better under her supervision. “Lyra, are the kids asleep? Don't you want to have fun in the pool?” Brian raised his voice, calling Lyra’s attention as he floated in the pool. Rather than settling do

Tyla tried to resist, but she was still dragged away harshly in the presence of all her employees. They all mocked her, glad that her end was finally here. Tyla cried and begged, but all her cries fell on deaf ears. A few days later after the chaos in Ashton Hills, Lawrence foyer, emerged as the winner of the presidential election, all thanks to Brian and his hard work as well. To thank Brian for everything, he decided to hold a banquet in Brian's name. Lyra strode into the hall with a wide smile on her lips. Her raven-dark hair cascaded down her waist in wavy curls, and the emerald gown she was putting on accentuated her hourglass figure. Her nanny walked right behind her with her kids, Ginny and Georgia, and Lyra couldn't ask for more. She turned to her husband, Brian who walked right beside her, his blue boraldo suit bringing out his striking features. His hair was styled like he should be on the cover of a magazine. His steps were slow, but powerful. Merely by walking, he comma

Dracula was able to escape Duncan's wrath, but Duncan couldn't care less. He was only concerned about the election and the success of it. The presidential election was taking place in Ashton Hills and several other cities across the country. Duncan was nervous and so was Austin, but since they had already bribed, threatened and forced several people, they relaxed a little. A few days ago, Duncan had asked one of his men to check if Brian was really in a critical condition and yes, It was true.Brian was presently in the hospital, bound to several machines because his life was on the line. Duncan couldn't be more excited. Immediately after winning the election, he would instruct his men to finish him up. Right now, the election could proceed with Brian out of the way. Austin walked out of his building, shoulders raised, head held high. He was nervous, but deep down he knew he was going to emerge as the winner. While the election was taking place across all states and cities in the co

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

A man opened up the car for Lawrence, and as soon as he alighted from the car, about three to five men accompanied him to the coffee shop. In locations like these, Lawrence looked like the king among mere mortals with his commanding presence. His men stood on guard outside while he pushed the door and walked into the coffee shop.A few days ago, a senator contacted him and told him about Duncan's threats. At first, Lawrence couldn't believe it. He knew Duncan was bringing people to his side, but he never thought Duncan would threaten people to side with Austin. Not until Mike told him about his wife's condition. Mike explained the whole situation to Lawrence, and Lawrence was determined to rescue his wife from the claws of Duncan. Mike couldn't do any other thing than trust the president's words. Working with Duncan was like working with the devil himself. Even after doing all they want, they might still kill his wife in cold blood. He wasn't ready to experience that. Sighting Brian
Chapter 279
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

As the election date moved closer, Lawrence, the president and Brian, worked hand in hand to ensure that the position didn't fall into the wrong hands. It was a sunny afternoon; the trees were green, the air clean and the sky was bright. It was the perfect time to have a campaign, and rather than holding it in Halls, Lawrence held it in a public space, where people moved around freely. 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

However, that only fueled his desire to know more, especially why they wanted the presidential position. Few days into the search, Killian confirmed the president's words. 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. I would like to take your order.” Slowly, Killian raised his head to meet the waiter’s eye, “I'm expecting someone soon. I'll take my order once he arrives.” His voice was soft, polite, and unconsciously, the waiter's lips curled into a smile. Killian had a meeting with Austin at this particular restaurant. Howev
