"You assholes do this every single time," The blonde muttered underneath his breath, clearly annoyed as he brought out a wallet.Stamp!James slapped another ticket on his vehicle. The blonde's face reddened with anger but he didn't dare argue anymore.He brought out about a hundred bucks and stuffed it into James' hand."Good. Next time pay attention to the traffic lights," James smiled as he canceled the tickets he'd previously written.Then they all returned to their car. "Sir," Sam called out. "The driver almost got away while the lights were still green. We saw that clearly so why did you stop him?"James chuckled and lit up a cigarette. He turned the steering wheel and drove away."I know. This is how we do everyday. I'm trying to show you how it is done when you officially resume your post.""So watch and learn wisely. In no time, you'll catch up."Sam nodded and exchanged a look with Levi. So this was what Will was talking about.For half the day, this went on. James randomly

Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 047: Piqued Brooklyn's Interest
"Are you for real?" Brooklyn shook her head and proceeded to stuff her mouth. "I thought you were smiling over a chat or something but it's just twitter."Zelda walked forward with a pout and turned the tablet to her direction. "How can you live such a boring life Brooke? Everyone in the company is bustling at how lively twitter is today.""So?" Brooklyn still remained nonchalant. She couldn't see what was fun in scrolling through social media while a large pile of paperwork awaits you."I guess it's because you haven't seen the trending news that you can still act so apathetically," Zelda took a step backwards."Do you know Larry was involved in an auto crash?"This certainly caught Brooklyn's attention. "What?""Yes," Zelda nodded. "As of the time of the news report, his condition is still unknown.""Well, he deserves it," Brooklyn shrugged and turned back to the almost empty takeaway."Don't be so mean. He might be a scum but dying seems harsh.""He's not dead yet. If he was, it wo

Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 048: Suddenly Collapsed
Levi had just finished dinner and was checking his phone. "No response?" His brows furrowed when he saw the message he had sent to Brooklyn almost an hour ago left on read.Was he being too impulsive? Or was she too busy to respond?He had already sent the message before he realized what he did. There was no way to delete it as she viewed it almost immediately.Levi shook his head. Did she perhaps misunderstand his kind gestures as being too caring?He was only concerned after the previous night that she had gotten so drunk. It won't do good for her to forget her meals."Sir, here it is," A maid came in with a bottle of lemon water like he had requested."Thank you."As Levi had a drink, he saw that he had been so lost in thoughts that he didn't realize when the maids came in to begin clearing the table."Excuse me," He called a maid. "Is grandfather still awake?"He hasn't seen grandfather Hernandez since he returned from work and he needed to discuss an important issue with him."We
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 049: Medical Complications
Grandfather Hernandez didn't know what was said on the phone but Levi's expression changed drastically.And as soon as the call ended, he didn't explain anything but told him nervously, "Grandfather, I have to go."Before he could say anything, Levi already rushed out. "Aiyo! What could have happened?" He paced at the door and then glanced at the wall clock."Why isn't Brooklyn even home yet?"****When Levi got to the city hospital, he rushed like a crazy person to the front desk but no one paid him any attention because they were also lost in their own worries."Good evening," He greeted the receptionist as he panted. "I am here to see Thomas Lloyd. Please check your record and tell me which ward he is in.""How are you related to him sir?" The receptionist looked up from the computer.Her eyes widened slightly when she saw Levi's physical appearance clearly.'Oh my God! So handsome!' she squealed inwardly while maintaining her professional poise.Levi didn't notice anything as he s
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 050: Conspiracy
"Oh, you are back," The old man looked up from the armchair he was sitting on and tipped his glass. He glanced at the wall clock."It's so late and you are just returning. Did you work overtime again?"Brooklyn knew if she admitted it, she was going to get an earful of words but she needed to find Levi first so she just ignored his questions and used his own words against him."It's already so late yet you are still awake and even reading. Grandfather, why aren't you asleep yet?"Diego was speechless. He shook his grey coloured hair and pointed at her, "You brat...""Have you seen Levi?" Brooklyn appeared impatient."He did come here but he rushed out a while ago.""Did he say where he was going?""No," Diego shook his head as he put away the book he was reading. "You should call him."Brooklyn nodded and then turned to leave. But as she opened the door, she said, "Grandfather, you should go to bed. It's already so late."As she walked back to her bedroom, she tried calling Levi but t
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 051: Confiscate The Result!
There was silence over the phone for some minutes and the technician glanced around uneasily before calling out again,"Sir?""Who is it?" A deep baritone voice questioned from the other side."I do not know but the family involved doesn't seem so simple. It was a guard that dropped off the drugs.""Are you certain it's from my company? There are many counterfeits and similar drugs like ours out there nowadays. You could be mistaken.""It's yours sir. I can't be mistaken about this," Perhaps because the technician felt his voice was too loud, his fingers wrapped around the mobile phone tightly and he whispered,"Sir, don't forget. I also partook in the testing during the manufacture of those drugs."The line went silent again and the technician wiped the sweat that had started to form on his forehead."Is the result out?""No sir.""Good," The deep, baritone voice sounded relieved. "Confiscate the real result. Don't let it get out.""Sir..." The technician was anxious."Listen to me.

235: The End II
Juan is right. He really owes Laura even in the next lifetime. She trusted him, loved him but he tore their family apart and couldn't even cherish the one person she left behind. Did he still deserve to live? __________ A few weeks later after the news of what had befallen the madam of Hernandez family broke out, Levi was in the ward speaking to his father who was about to be taken away to the Wales by Cyrus, Marie and Lincoln when a guard walked in. "Sir, the young madam's father has come for a visit. He is currently with her." Heading this, Levi brows furrowed and he stood. He looked down at his father who didn't even react like he had heard his words and sighed. "Father, be good, okay? I'll come with Brooklyn to visit you sometime when she has fully recovered. Bye." He turned to his uncle, aunt and cousin with a grateful look. They all shared a hug and he told them, "I wish you a safe trip and please tell grandfather I sent my greetings." With that, they bade farewell and h
234: The End I
Juan simply gave Luis a look that made him feel like he was a fool and walked around him, going straight to Yolanda and completely ignoring him. "Should I tell them about the aphrodisiac or you will?"When he said these words, Yolanda's eyes widened in fear and she panicked. He didn't stop there, "Or I should talk about the vitamins instead. I'm sure my brother will like to learn more about Andy."Yolanda's knees turned weak and she almost collapsed if it weren't for the cops holding her. Seeing her reaction, Luis walked up to them. "What are you talking about?"Juan finally gave him attention and pointed at him, "You are such a fool. I can't believe you cheated with this thing on Laura. You should atone for your sins at her grave for the rest of your life!"Luis gritted angrily and his fingers balled into fists but he knew he stood no chance against Juan if he attempted to strike."That's enough Juan," Grandfather Hernandez stepped in. "What's all this fuss about? Ask the cops to l
233: Game Over II
"Here are records of her purchasing many illegal drugs from this black market trader. They managed to track her transactions and realized that besides purchasing a potent poison within different time frames and a few other drugs yet to be identified, she also purchased a strong aphrodisiac that has been banned for years."Levi's expression turned rigid upon hearing this. Aphrodisiac? He looked at the hospital bed where Brooklyn was sleeping peacefully wrapped in bandages and suddenly remembered the first time he had met her.She had run down the street trying to escape from Larry. He could still remember how strong he had felt the scent of the aphrodisiac from her.All those times, he used to think Larry was the one behind the aphrodisiac but what if he had an accomplice.Larry might have wrongfully listed after Brooklyn but Levi knew he was too chickenhearted to purchase that contraband himself.So it must have been someone who gave it to him and that person could be Yolanda."Uncle,
232: Game Over
Gunshots suddenly rang out in the warehouse and the guns in the thugs hands began to fall to the ground one after the other as they cried in pain,"Argh!""Ah!!!!""Argh!!!!""Ow!!!"Noah's eyes almost bulged out of their sockets as he watched all his men fall to the floor and writhe in pain. "You bastard!" He yelled into the microphone as he watched cops emerge. "Are you so foolish? Do you think your wife will go Scot free now? Just a word from me and her mutilated body parts will be sent to your doorstep!"Levi's eyes darkened at his words. He looked around because he knew Noah could see him. "Do you know what has become of your accomplice, Billy? Just surrender now or your term will be worse."Noah laughed and the warehouse echoed with his laughter. "That was all my plan, you fool! He was after my ring too so how could I let him remain with me?! He is no longer useful so I tossed him out.""You have gone against me and I can see you value the ring more than your wife. That is w
231: Come Get It
As the chaos subsided, Juan received a call and stepped away from the gathering. He found a quiet place and answered the call just before it was disconnected."Hello, did you find out anything?" He was a bit anxious about what the other person was going to say. If Luis is really declared guilty, he won't spare him."Sir, we tracked his call records and his bank records even deleted transactions but found nothing unusual."Juan didn't know why he released a sigh of relief. He wasn't wrong after all. Luis might be temperamental and easily pissed off but he won't do anything to hurt his own family. Then who tampered with the vitamins? Because Juan had a bit of knowledge in medicine, he knew the vitamins were manufactured by a popular pharmaceutical company and they were original products.Which means someone must have tampered with the vitamins after they were purchased? He had almost forgotten that he was on a call until the person spoke again."Sir, we also checked the call records of
230: Lloyd's of Wales
"She's missing," Hector announced as he walked into the sitting room where the cops were handling Billy and the bloody mess he had causedLevi was on a sofa with an oppressive expression that showed one shouldn't come closer to him."Oh no! Our poor Brooke! She only just got released and she's gone again!" Yolanda was on the other side of the room crying her eyes out.This sound made Levi's fingers clench with every passing second. Why act like she cares?"Mr Lloyd, do you know who could be behind this?" A cop was asking Levi for the umpteenth time yet was receiving no response.Luis walked up to them furiously and pointed at him. "How dare you act nonchalant?! Officer, hold him responsible if anything happens to my daughter!"Levi's face hardened but he refused to say a word and just sat there listening to Luis' rants. Images of Brooklyn's current state kept on running through his mind and he almost couldn't breathe."Levi!" The door the cops were entering and leaving through suddenl
229: End Of You
Brooklyn was walking down the hallway to her room when she felt someone sprinted across the hallway. She didn't think too much about it as she was still upset about what had happened in the sitting room.She has never seen her father so angry and that too at his own brother. These days, she feels her father is gradually turning into someone they all don't know anymore.Not to mention the cold war he has been engaging with these days.Tap!She halted when she saw the shadow of the person sprinting across the hallway again. She was suddenly scared and called out, "Who is there?!"No one answered her and she turned around. The hallway was silent. "Maybe I'm just being paranoid," She mumbled to herself.No one could get into this house anyway. But as she shook her thoughts away and took another step, someone suddenly strangled her from behind."Ah—" Her shout was muffled as a cloth was put over her nose. Her body went paralyzed with fear as she realized what was happening.She wanted to s
228: Don't Dare Me
"This wasn't what we both agreed to. I don't agree to this," Billy kicked a chair as he flared.Noah Lloyd didn't bat an eye at his actions. He simply said, "If you want to get Levi, this will be your only way.""Why do I have to go in there and get his wife himself? You have so many men they could easily carry out the job. Why me? It feels like you are sending me straight to the enemy's trap."Billy hated to admit it but he was a bit scared about facing Levi. Now he has to find a way to sneak into the Hernandez family residence himself, knock Brooklyn out and find a way to sneak her out.Noah's plan didn't sound feasible to him and he wasn't a fool. No way will he do that.Noah smiled craftily. He knew it. Billy wasn't as foolish as he thinks so there was no way he could keep him now. He just has to get rid of him.Besides, the dumbo also wants his ring. All the more reason for him not to survive but first he had to convince the fool."Your first attempt at the hospital was a complet
227: Familial Ties
"I'm certainly not a tour guide now."Levi chuckled at Juan's words but waited for him to continue. He relished the taste of the first food he grabbed and wondered if Brooklyn had her dinner yet."I think... I should keep what I do as a secret but it has nothing to do with our family's business.""That's not fair uncle. What's with the suspense?" Levi frowned and Juan laughed.The former was quite curious about this eldest son of Hernandez's family that has managed to evade the discerning eyes of paparazzi for years.Although Juan was estranged from the family, he appeared to be living better than his younger brother, Luis.Heck if they were to stand together one wouldn't be able to judge who was the younger one or the older one."Let's keep that aside now. Maybe someday... What I just want to say is whatever my brother does, just know he means no harm. He is ambitious and all but doesn't take it to heart. Go easy on him."Levi paused and swallowed the food in his mouth. One would hav
