As Brian turned his head to stare at Edward, a look of terror could be seen on his face. He stumbled backwards as his face turned pale, wondering what a business Tycoon like Brian could be doing in such a restaurant. “M..Mr Duke.” Edward breathed, a look of surprise plastered on his face. He directed his gaze at his daughter and anger surged through his veins. His daughter, Theresa, had placed him in trouble. How was he going to reverse or take back his words? It was going to be like a slap on his face! Seeing Edward's expression, a chuckle escaped Brian's lips, “Cat got your tongue? Can't you speak again?” He asked, his gaze fixed on Edward. Edward's eyes darted around, his cheeks flushed red in embarrassment. From the sides, Theresa watched as her father suddenly stopped talking. Thinking that something must have happened to him, she took a few steps towards Brian's table and entangled her arm around her father's, “Dad, say something!” she snapped, her voice dripping with venom.
Theresa's lips trembled as she played with the hem of her dress. Her head was lowered and her blonde hair covered her face, giving her the look of a sad woman who was going through alot. “I'm sorry.” she whispered, tears spilling from her eyes. Brian simply ignored her, making her even more embarrassed. Edward smacked her neck, “speak louder!” he yelled and Theresa yelled on top of her lungs, “I'm sorry.” Brian turned to Lyra, “Let's get going, honey. We can't waste time here with these people.” He smiled, getting up to leave with Lyra. As he walked out of the restaurant with his wife, beads of perspiration formed on Edward's skin, “M..Mr Duke, wait we have to discuss.” He yelled, but Brian didn't give him an audience. Lyra was the reason why he was present here today, so only she deserved his attention for today. As he walked into his car, He heard how Edward yelled at his daughter, asking her to run after him but he didn't even bother to stop. He opened the door for Lyra and aske
With that knife close to Hazel's neck, Ivy was confused and bothered. Deep down, Ivy wanted to allow her to escape, but it would jeopardize their plans. Leviathan would relax and Brandon wouldn't be captured. If Hazel escapes this way, they would lose everything. She tried to talk Hazel out, but the young girl already made up her mind. At the same time, Brandon finished making the call and returned back to the warehouse to check on Hazel. However, he found her released and pointed a knife at herself. His eyes turned cold as he stared at Ivy, but he decided to stay unnoticed. He took slow steps towards Hazel and pushed her forward. The knife fell on the ground as Hazel lost her balance. Since the knife was far away from her, Hazel broke into tears. She had her chance to escape, but she decided to waste time. Why would she make that kind of mistake? Brandon pulled Hazel's hair, making her wince in pain. He dragged her towards the chair and pushed her roughly, not caring about her bru
“Get on your knees, now!” Brandon yelled, but Leviathan had no plans of doing that. Even though he was without his gun, he wasn't going to kneel in the presence of his subject. Hazel watched the entire scene in front of her, confusion evident in her expression. She had thought the three of them worked together, but they were ganging up against Leviathan? Brandon smirked, “Seems like you don't love yourself. Leviathan, get on your knees an….” He swallowed the rest of his words when he felt the touch of a metal on his chest, where his heart was. “Try anything funny and I'll make sure I press this trigger.” Brandon was shocked and speechless. “Ivy!” He gasped, his voice trembling with emotion, but Ivy’s mind was already made up. “Who are you working for? Tell me who sent you here!” He yelled, anger surging through his veins. At the same time, Brian made a grand appearance with his heavily armed private security. He smiled when he saw Ivy’s reaction, “Good one, Ivy. Get Hazel out of h
Brian stared at the terrible man who caused the entire chaos and sighed. That maid who gave Richard the afternoon tea for several days should be charged to death. How could she do something so cruel? Since Richard's life was hanging on the line, Brian decided to exchange the antidote for Leviathan's release. “Fine, give me the antidote. We're running out of time.” Brian said, his voice laced with impatience. Leviathan chuckled, writhing in pain from time to time, “You'll have to take me to a hospital to get treated before I give away the antidote.” He said, not wanting Brian and his men to play smart on him. He wasn't that foolish either. Seeing as Leviathan was quick to see through him, he smirked and threw his hands up in defeat, “Fine.” Just for Richard's antidote he would give him up and risk his wife's safety for the second time. He ran his hands through his hair, frustration kicking in, “Boys, let's get him to the nearest hospital for treatment. We can't have him die.” Brian o
As Brian's men pushed Brandon into a car, Brian, Hazel and Ivy entered another. He didn't tell Hazel about her grandfather's condition. Not only would she freak out, she would be devastated. Brian was determined to make Richard live, and so, the driver dropped him at the hospital and took the girls home. Brian walked into the hospital, making heads turn as he moved from side to side, however, the gaze of people were fixed on his bloodied hands and shoe, but no one had the guts to walk over and ask him. The kind of aura he exuded made a shiver run down their spine. He was mysterious and handsome! Brian walked straight to a young nurse who batted her eyelashes at him, acting coy and cute. He rolled his eyes in anger, not even bothering to flash her a smile. Presently, he was worried about Richard's life. He might not survive the night, which is the reason why he needs the antidote. If Leviathan should go back on his word they were doomed. Upon getting to Richard's ward, Brian pushed
The siren of the ambulance filled the air as the whole clinic was in chaos. Nurses walked around the hospital, coming in and out of the OR. Brian paced to and fro, holding a small bottle in his hands. As soon as the doctor walked out of the operating room, Brian dashed forward, “How is she?” He asked, eagerly awaiting the doctor's news. If they were able to save the girl's life, maybe he would be able to get Leviathan's location. The doctor pressed his lips in a thin line and shook his head, “She gave up. What has me confused is the fact that she isn't a nurse here at all. I've never seen or heard anyone talk about her.” he said, completely baffled. Brian raised his fist and punched the air, frustrated to the core. Not wanting to waste anymore time, he placed the antidote in the doctor's hands, “Make sure Mr Luke is okay.” he said, “Make sure you give him this antidote as soon as possible.” The doctor nodded and tapped Brian's shoulder, “Be rest assured, Mr Duke. I'll make sure Mr
“Sayer?” Leviathan asked, “Widely dominated by peasants? I can't go there.” He spat, angered that Donald was asking someone like him to board a ship with peasants. Not as a member, but as something that was being transferred to the country. Leviathan would have to hide in the hold with other commodities and supplies. “Master, that's the only ship on duty leaving the city tomorrow. But if you can wait for a few more days, you'll definitely find one that's going to your destination.” “Nonsense!” Leviathan growled, feeling the urge to kick everything away, but he knew Donald's words were right. Brian was the cause of all this mess. If not for him, his stable and perfect life wouldn't have been ruined. Leviathan would still be respected, cherished and honored. Now, almost everyone in the country would hate the name “Leviathan” if this gets out. The last time he broke down was when he was a teenager, and since then, he promised never to cry again. But why did he suddenly feel like baw
