“That’s true, Austin. The Brian family are among the richest in this city, and it will not be easy for anyone to bring them down. They’ve got powers and connections.” Mr. Prescott said.

Austin shook his head, allowing them to think whatever they want.

Antonio’s smile grew wider, when he spotted how Austin was quiet, he thought he had won, and decided to show he had more money, he spoke out. “Let me make it ten million dollars.”

Hannah stood up, she had become tired of her father, stepmother and Antonio. “It’s enough, I am sick and tired of all this. No amount of money will buy our love.”

“Then let the young man decide, Hannah,” Antonio said, smirking evilly.

Hannah averted her gaze to Austin, her heart was thumping fast in her chest. She couldn’t tell if Austin was going to accept the ten million dollars.

“No, thank you. My decision is the same.” Austin blurted out.

Hannah sighed softly while the rest of the faces twisted; their anger was raised higher than it was. They couldn’t b

    Monica’s face twisted with a mix of pain and fury. She couldn’t make sense of what was happening in her life. Had she done something so terrible in a past life that she was now paying for it in this one? The thought haunted her.Her life felt like a never-ending rollercoaster, unpredictable, chaotic. Not only was her mother suddenly against her, but she also had to deal with Austin, who had completely ruined her chances of building a relationship with Richard.What stung most was the board’s decision to let her mother participate in the company’s affairs. It baffled her. There was something about her mother—something dark and hidden—that Monica couldn’t quite put her finger on.She leaned back in her chair, her thoughts spinning out of control. Her phone buzzed repeatedly, but she ignored it, too lost in her turmoil.Then, the silence was broken by the soft creak of her office door opening.Her mother stepped in, a smile curving on her lips like a weapon.She glared at her mother cold

    She clung tightly to Austin, her body trembling. Her heart pounded erratically, the poison’s effects coursing through her veins.Austin could see the panic in her eyes and the way her body was beginning to give out. Without wasting a second, he carried her to Mr. Brian’s car and gently laid her across the back seat.Her breathing had become shallow, and her face was drained of all colour. Mr. Brian and Anderson stood nearby, tense and silent, watching the critical moment unfold.Austin reached into his jacket and pulled out a small pill.“Get me a knife,” he ordered sharply. A guard quickly handed him a dagger.With steady hands, Austin cut the pill in half and slipped one piece into her mouth. Then, placing his hand over her chest, he closed his eyes and began channelling a warm, calming energy into her body.The pill and energy dulled the effect of the poison.“Is she going to be okay?” Mr. Brian asked, looking worried.“She will be fine.” He replied, his voice laced with anger.Tur

    “Who are you and what business do you have here?” He asked, looking at Austin furiously.Austin narrowed his gaze at Lucy. He could tell she had been drugged. His face clenched, and his eyes were blazing with fury.“I don’t like repeating myself, let her go and save yourself from any embarrassment or harm.” He said firmly.“Never!” The man replied.Anderson was Lucy’s online lover, whom they had planned on meeting, but he had other plans. He had heard that Lucy was a virgin and had been in several relationships, and each ended up because she had refused to have sex with the men.He couldn’t stand that, he knew the only way for him to have his way was to drug her, and take her to a hotel, that way she wouldn’t have any idea who touched her. His plans were going smoothly, but then Austin was an obstacle.Coming from a wealthy family, he believed no one could make him crumble. He placed Lucy on the back seat of the car, then turned to face Austin.At that time, Mr. Brian, who had been w

    “Mr. Brian, it’s not for sale. I am giving you the pills for free.” The old man looked at Asher with surprise, he couldn’t believe he received such an extraordinary pill for free. His heart was thrilled with excitement.“Thank you, Mr. Davis. I appreciate it.” Asher smiled, giving the man two Extra pills, “You shouldn’t take them at the same time, it will be dangerous for your health. You can sell them or keep them for the future.” ‘No, I don’t think I will sell them. I will keep them for the future, like you said,” he replied.“Mr. Brian, your son Antonio has been a problem in my neck, I am only keeping a blind eye because of you. I will not take it easy on him the next time.” Austin stated.“I am sorry, Mr. Davis. I will handle my son when I get home. That shouldn’t be a problem.” He replied.The men continued to talk. Mr. Brian was asking if there was anything he would need or any improvements to be made.****”At a restaurant downtown, Lucy sat by the window side waiting for h

    “You need to stop taking this lightly,” he said. “Your health is declining faster than you realise. If you keep brushing it off… You won’t last long. Drinking is making things worse. Your kidneys are already strained. If you keep pushing your body like this, it won’t be the enemies outside that take you down, it’ll be what’s eating you from the inside.”“How did he figure this out?” Was he truly a doctor just as Ruddy said? Should I open up to him and seek his help?” Mr. Brian thought inwardly.But what surprised him the most was that Austin only looked at his palm and his eyes to know what was wrong with him. “Mr. Davis, you are right about everything you just said. I am sick and the doctor said I will not last long, but I can’t stop drinking, not with what I am going through every day. Take a look at my only son, always getting me into trouble, my business has not fully recovered after what happened some months ago.”The old man almost dropped in tears as he watched Austin who kept

    Mrs. Sarah grabbed the documents and didn’t allow Monica to touch them. “Remember, you said I have been lazy. I have thought about it and don’t want to be lazy anymore, so I thought about going through the company’s documents because I want to know part of it.” Monica raised her brow as she stared at her mother for a moment, unsure of what to say. “I don’t understand, Mom. What are you planning?”Mrs. Sarah only smiled as she stared at Monica’s confused face. “What’s there that you don’t understand, I want to be part of the company. I will be taking the new role as Chief executive officer of the company.” Monica shook her head in disagreement. She couldn’t allow her mother to come into the company all of a sudden. She knew her mother was coming to the company because of something she couldn’t figure out. “No, Mom. You can just wake up one morning and decide you want to take a major role in the company. It’s impossible, I can’t allow that to happen.”She stared at Monica coldly, wi
