“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
A month later, Helix city boomed with life like it always has, but it was different for Brian. The warmth of the sun against his skin had never felt so better, and the green grasses around seemed more beautiful and vibrant. Ever since Leviathan and Brandon got apprehended, his life became better. Seated in the middle of nine most respected men, Brian's lips stretched into a wild smile, laughing at a joke Mr Luke made. With the use of the antidote, Richard recovered fast and thanked Brian for saving his life. He wasn't the kind of person who wouldn't appreciate a person's gestures, but Brian was special. A single ‘thank you’ wouldn't show Richard’s gratitude. After throwing the traitor out, the Cabal 8 became the best group again, earning respect from people across the country. Richard raised his glass of wine, trying to get the attention of everyone, “I have an announcement to make.” He said, and everyone turned their necks to his side. Richard inhaled a deep breath as his expres
“Yes, the babies.” The nurse explained before running off. Brian almost lost his balance from happiness. He stared at his hands as tears stinged his eyes, threatening to spill. The maid approached him, her mouth wide open, “Is Mrs Brooks having more kids? It isn't just a child?” she asked, and Brian nodded his head, feeling this insane happiness in his heart. The nurse's words calmed him down somehow. He knew his wife and kids were safe, so he simply sat down, relaxed and placed a wide smile on his face. He had to wait for a few more hours before the doctor finally came out with a sheen of sweat on his forehead. “Mr Duke, the operation was successful. Your wife and your two kids are safe.” Tears stinged Brian's eyes again. He turned to the maid, his heart almost exploding from happiness. “I'm..I'm a father now?” he asked and the doctor nodded, “Yes, Mr Duke. You're a father of two kids.” “When can I see them?” “Right now they're asleep. You can come back the next day to check on t
