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
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
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
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

15 billion dollars! Brian's eyes widened in disbelief as he called out the figures. He would have taken it as a prank but he knows it's not. He has been approached by Albert Moore in the past who claimed to be his father's butler but he turned him down following the instructions from his mother not to allow anybody to talk to him from his father's side.After being abandoned by his father, he had to struggle with his mother alone. Anytime he remembers his mother's words, he hates his father to the core. But now? He desperately needs money to sponsor his mother's operation.

On getting home, Brian ignored the usual insults and downgrading words from his in-laws and went straight to his wife, Lyra."My dear, why don't you just focus on the pitching to Zelyn Holdings, stop bothering about them turning you down, I believe it will turn positive," Brian said as he lovingly gazed at his wife. Lyra stared at her husband in disbelief. "Brian, why would you ask me to go there? Do you want me to be humiliated?" She asked, slightly confused by Brian's statement. "No, just go there with your proposal. I'm sure you'll get their support" Brian said as he made her rest her head on his shoulder, comforting her. However, Lyra was still not satisfied. "Honey, don't you know Zelyn holdings? This is one of the biggest companies in Ashton Hills controlling more than 60% of the Economy. Several bigger companies than ours are all at their mercy, the Brooks Enterprises is like an ant In Front of them." She said again as she held the hem of her dress nervously. She didn't want
Turning back, Brian realized it was Harry. "What could he be doing here?" he wondered. "Do you think applying for a cleaning job here will give Lyra a chance to get approved? I don't understand how you think. Hahahaha poor Brian” Harry sneered as he walked towards Brian. Brian ignored his words as usual and wanted to walk away, but he was dragged back by Harry. "What do you want?" He asked slowly as he was in no mood for trouble. "Don't I deserve an answer? Can't you reply me?!" Harry yelled as he held Brian's clothes. Hearing the noise from outside, since the Director was still discussing with the workers, he decided to come out and check what the problem was. Seeing how Harry was humiliating Brian, his head almost exploded. "What on earth are you doing, Mr Harry!" Davis asked as he walked towards them. Delighted at the sight of Davis, Harry smiled and pointed towards Brian, " What's this looser doing here?" Slightly confused, "What do you mean by a loser? This man here is no
