The Underrated Duke's Heir Rise To Power Chapter 236
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

Leviathan gulped nervously, his gaze fixed on Brian's powerful appearance. He tapped Donald's thigh, “Do something!” He said through gritted teeth, “If the sailor isn't moving, go there and force him!” Donald nodded his head and dashed out of the hold, but Brian's men had already surrounded them. While dread slowly filled their hearts, Jeremy laughed out loud, glad Leviathan was finally cornered. At least he was safe now. Brian slowly walked towards Leviathan. He flinged Titus aside and bent down to Leviathan's level, “Did you really have to do this to escape? You think I didn't know that Titus was a spy?” He asked, a smile slowly making its way to his lips, “I intentionally told him about the airport and the rest was simple math.” Leviathan clenched his fists, anger swirling in his eyes. Now that he was crippled, he couldn't run nor fight against Brian. He was literally helpless and useless, and that thought upsetted him. A heart wrenching cry escaped his lips as he tried to bite

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

Due to the president's words, Killian did his personal research on the dancing 9, but he realized that It was quite hard to get anything on the group. 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
