Brian makes his way to The Brooks company, he is looked down on as usual because of the way he is dressed. He had a huge smile on his face as he walked in, ignoring the look of condemnation on their faces.
“The shameless live-in son-in-law is here again” he could hear whispers
Reaching his wife's office, he heard faint voices coming from the room. "What could they be saying?" He wondered as he eavesdropped from the door intending to listen to their conversation.
"I'm not, I'm not divorcing my husband!"
Lyra's voice was heard after some time.
"He's not good for you, he would only bring you shame," Her colleague said as she tried to change Lyra's mind. "Brian is a failure. You can't continue this way"
"I'm not divorcing him no matter what! That's final" Lyra declared. Showing no interest in whatever she has to say.
Hearing his wife defend him in his absence, his heart leapt for joy. "I must have been a good man in my past life to get a wife this perfect" he thought as he opened the door to get in.
Speaking of the devil,
As Brian strolled in, her colleague glared at him intently, disgusted by his sight. “how shameless” she murmured to herself
Lyra smiled as she saw her husband. "What brings you here, honey?" She asked softly, her voice as elegant as she was.
Brian walked towards her and handed her the gown he brought for her, perfectly and neatly boxed, screaming luxury.
She quickly unboxed it
Lyra was stunned, her eyes widened in surprise.
Her colleague was also stunned by the beauty of the gown. "This gown must cost millions of dollars."
"Brian, how did you..."
Brian didn't allow his wife to complete her statement. He simply said "Don't worry about the money, you deserve it and there's more to come”
The couple smile at each other relishing the moment. Just then voices erupt from the corridor
Like an agent of destruction, Harry walked into the company, taking long strides as he walked confidently.
"That's Harry McDaniels"
"He's so handsome"
"He looks like a celebrity"
Used to the normal words, Harry simply smiled sending the girls in a daze as they watched his stunning figure.
Reaching Lyra's office, Her colleague's cheeks were flushed red at the sight of Harry.
"Hello," she whispered with a flirty tone, wondering what he was doing in Lyra's office.
Ignoring her, Harry walked towards Lyra, also ignoring Brian as if he was invincible.
"I got you this gown for the Ashton Hills Business Summit" he said, arrogance evident in his voice.
Harry, obsessed with Lyra would stop at nothing to have her.
I'm sorry, my husband bought a gown already, a luxurious one at that. I won't be needing yours"
"You're rejecting my gown for this idiot's? I'm sure it must be some cheap locally made dress"
Lyra glared at Harry, and her anger started to boil, "Whatever is coming from him, I'm totally satisfied with it."
And right there, the limited edition gown has caught the attention of onlookers as they just recognised it fully.
“Oh is this not the Limited edition luxurious gown that was paraded in Paris last week?”
“ I heard it's only 3 that makes it to Aston Hills and only the top dog in fashion store has it in stock”
“Omg you're so lucky Lyra, that cost a fortune”
“ Harry knows how to take care of woman no doubt” one of the commenters said
“ No Harry didn't get me this, my husband did” Lyra corrected as she smiled at Brian even though she was unsure of how he got such money and couldn't wait to ask him privately about it.
“Then Harry's gift must be superior, let us check it out” one of the staff suggested.
Harry was alerted, knowing that the gown he got for Lyra was nowhere compared to Brian's gift, he quickly picked up his gift to save his face. “You'll regret turning me down” Harry said as he walked out of the company, thinking of a way to make Brian suffer for the humiliation he caused him.

The entire member of Brooks's family was alerted, the head of the family Lady Elizabeth had fixed an important family meeting which must be attended by everyone.
Out of fear for Lady Elizabeth's wrath, everyone made it there on time, Brian was also seated wondering what this old woman had to say this time.
“This important family meeting has only one purpose which is discussion in how to land the biggest contract in Ashton Hills history by coming out triumphant at the Business Summit” Lady Elizabeth opened up.
Everyone starts staring at each other. Is aiming for the contract, not an attempt to embarrass and punish Lyra? When did she start picking full interest in winning the contract knowing fully well they are an underdog?
Lady Elizabeth ignored the confused stare and continued “I'll be needing everyone's support in landing this project, everyone must turn up and support as we aim to pass each phase of the Summit down to the finale” she explained looking at everyone's faces until she focused her gaze on Brian.
“Except you of course, you are not needed anywhere close to the venue as I can't have you jeopardize our efforts with your bad luck and poor state, so stay back”
“Of course, he knows his place, what will he be thinking to want to attend such events of great importance that has high personality in demand, don't worry about him Grandma,” Tyla said, shooting a deadly gaze at Brian.
“Sister why would you even say such?! Why disrespect my husband at every given chance?” Lyra hit back
“There's no disrespect here, the earlier you accept this useless brat is not for you the better for you, I'm only looking out as your elder sister” Tyla replied, to the amusement of the mocking members of the family, they always enjoy the unending feud between Lyra and Tyla.
Brian then broke his silence” I'm sorry to go against your words Lady Elizabeth, but it is only normal I support my wife in this project, I am her number one partner and I must be there for her”
Everyone gasped in shock at Brian's words. How dare he talk back at Lady Elizabeth, is he tired of staying at the Brook's mansion and would rather stay homeless?
Lady Elizabeth hit the glass cup in her hands on the floor in a moment of anger.” You ungrateful bastard! If you dare go against me and jeopardize this whole thing, you Will not only get a divorce but I will make sure to lock you up”.
Everybody joined her to scold and condemn Brian, except his dear wife Lyra who stood by him. The meeting ended and they returned to their quarters.
Lyra was still trying to pacify Brian about what happened but He wasn't shaken by it at all, he looked into his woman's eyes. “Honey don't worry, you are making history at the Ashton Hills Business Summit and I'll be there for you every step of the way”
The lovely moment between them was interrupted by a beep sound from Brian's phone and an incoming text message from Albert. “Young master, your identity is under threat”

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

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

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

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
