When Levi got to the hospital, his father had already fallen unconscious. He walked up to the doctor attending to him."Oh Mr Lloyd, you are here. We already sedated him when he was going out of control. He'll be out for longer this time and will hopefully wake up calmer.""But I should tell you this," The doctor hung his stethoscope around his neck. "Sedating your father consecutively will have an adverse effect."Levi ran his fingers through his hair anxiously. He glanced at Thomas and asked, "Wasn't he already faring better than before? Why did this suddenly happen?""The nurse who was assigned to him had to deal with an emergency and couldn't show up so we got another temporary nurse for him," The doctor adjusted his glass frame as he focused on Levi."We didn't expect despite being in this condition, your father would notice and go hysterical while calling out for—"Levi's ears quirked when the doctor suddenly paused and looked at him with a quizzical look."Mr Lloyd, who is Hann
[Loading]He looked away and reached out for a can of soda James had grabbed along. When he turned back to the laptop screen, it was displaying messages from the group chat.[I have managed to trace fund transactions from a bank account located in the mountainous area. So there must be a secret base in there]- a member Levi didn't interact with earlier with the code name, Valkyrie dropped a message.She also attached various documents of her investigations.[Good. Then we should set out tomorrow and comb the area. Hopefully, it leads to where the captives are being held]- Shadow answered quickly.Levi sat back and watched without moving his fingers. He felt like this member named Shadow liked to be dominant and in charge.[For the new members, it is essential you take only vital ammunition and tools. For this mission, you are expected to have climbing skills or you might as well back out now]- this message was written by Eclipse.[Yikes, I'm not very good at climbing]- Sabre whined w
Levi walked out in confident strides. The tuxedo felt comfortable and fitted him like a glove.Feeling the texture of the expensive clothing materials that must have been used to design the tux, it filled him with a sense of cockiness."Woah! Someone's looking dashing," Brooklyn cheered and gave him a thumbs-up.She turned to the mirror to look at her reflection again not expecting him to stand behind her.Her breath hitched as she watched him through the mirror. His stunning blue eyes shone brightly as he asked in a husky tone,"So... How do we look?"'The perfect couple,' she answered inwardly but didn't dare to say it out loud. However, she gasped when his hand suddenly snake around her waist from behind."What are you doing?" Her voice came out more of a whisper than she'd liked.Levi smiled as her face flamed. Good, he wasn't the only one feeling it. "Shouldn't we rehearse for tomorrow? You know, some PDA? For show of course."Brooklyn's cheeks instantly got two large circles of
They crept in silently, their feet making a stealthy shuffle against the floor and maintaining an orderly path.There seems to be this demeaning aura compelling them to follow behind Levi.Perhaps because he was walking forward calmly and more confident than the rest of them.However, he suddenly stopped, causing them to come to a stop too. His masked face looked upward."What's wrong?" Valkyrie whispered but Levi didn't respond. He simply shot a foot out and withdrew it as quickly as it was out.An action simply too fast for them to process. But red beams of lights suddenly shot out, displaying a pattern of lasers."Oh, we would have walked right into it," Hades breathed, stroking his chin while taking a step back.Infact a ray of the red light was right in front of his leg. If he had taken another step, he would have triggered an alarm and gotten all of them into trouble."I'll disable them now," Valkyrie brought out a small device she had taken along and began to work on it.Levi d
Brooklyn resisted the urge to roll her eyes because she recognized the voice too well.Contrary to how she was feeling, she lifted her face and gave the heavily pregnant woman in front of her a beautiful smile.Outsiders hearing her speak would have thought she was a good friend of Brooklyn but in actual fact, they never got along either in college or now.Back then, Anastasia was just a poor girl who had managed to get into an Ivy League college.She hated Brooklyn to the core because she was the daughter of one of the wealthiest families in San Jose.She got everything she wanted freely because she was born with a silver spoon. A privilege Anastasia didn't get.What more? Brooklyn was smart, ranked top of classes and had guys chasing after her."Hi Anastasia, we meet again," Brooklyn felt like Anastasia wanted to rip off the smile on her face.'Steele even invited nouveau riches to his banquet too? If I had known, I wouldn't have attended today and would've just sent my gifts.'Afte
Levi could feel Brooklyn's legs go weak as she slipped so he held her up with his hands firmly around her waist.The gasps in the background blurred as he sunk into her sweetness. His lips gently sucking hers as he invaded her senses. He only let go when she was breathless.He smiled down at the dazed look on her face, her swollen lips and the way she held his collar tightly as if she didn't want to let go."You are Brooklyn's husband?" Levi's attention was attracted by a shocked voice behind them.He looked at the heavily pregnant woman not recollecting her face. "You are?""Levi," Zoe walked forward. Her fingers left red marks on the spots they had dug on her palms.As she watched them kissing, she kept thinking, 'He never kissed me so passionately like this in the past. Has he really fallen for this woman? Who is she?'However, Micheal pulled her back. "Zoe, haven't you caused enough harm? Let's leave now."He felt he had completely lost face in front of everyone. Zoe had blatantly
Brooklyn bade farewell to the Steele's and helped Levi out because he was tipsy and staggering.This is because the stubborn man insisted on drinking the alcoholic drinks offered to her that night. Although it warmed her heart, he still got drunk in the process.However, just as they were getting to the door, a middle-aged man obstructed their path."Good evening, Mrs Brooklyn. I have been searching for an opportunity all night to introduce myself to you."Brooklyn looked up and her face turned grim because she recognized the man.He was a nouveau riche who had tried to acquire a contract with the Hernandez's Group once.The contract was almost successful but Brooklyn's sources found out the man was involved in some kind of fraud and the materials he provided for the project were below the standards required.That was how the contract fell through."Hello Mister, you'll have to reach out some other time. As you can see, I'm leaving," Brooklyn didn't want to waste time talking with suc
[Your USD acct ending with 4983 has received a credit alert of $30,00,000][[Your USD Acct Balance: *****]Levi's eyes flickered as he scrolled to check who sent him thirty million dollars out of the blue.His brows creased when he saw the name of the sender and he turned around."Grandfather," He called out helplessly as he burst into the old madam's room but he was shushed."Shh, keep it down son. She just fell asleep," Diego walked away from the bed."Grandfather, I told you not to bother about the payment. I'm offering services to my wife's grandmother free of charge. If you continue doing this, I'll feel like we are not family," Levi complained in a hush tone.Diego's eyes wrinkled with a smile and he shook his head. "The money is not from me. It's from her."Levi was puzzled. Huh?"You see, she regrets the fact she didn't witness Brooklyn tying the knot and she wasn't there to give you a wedding gift. That is her first gift to you."Levi went silent. Thirty million dollars just
