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 $30,00,000][[Your USD Acct Balance: *****]Levi's eyes flickered as he scrolled to check who sent him thirty million dollars out of the blue.His brows creased when he saw the name of the sender and he turned around."Grandfather," He called out helplessly as he burst into the old madam's room but he was shushed."Shh, keep it down son. She just fell asleep," Diego walked away from the bed."Grandfather, I told you not to bother about the payment. I'm offering services to my wife's grandmother free of charge. If you continue doing this, I'll feel like we are not family," Levi complained in a hush tone.Diego's eyes wrinkled with a smile and he shook his head. "The money is not from me. It's from her."Levi was puzzled. Huh?"You see, she regrets the fact she didn't witness Brooklyn tying the knot and she wasn't there to give you a wedding gift. That is her first gift to you."Levi went silent. Thirty million dollars just
Levi kept the property deed away and powered on the PC again.Putting away the astonishing thoughts of how he had just inherited a property worth hundreds of millions, he quickly navigated the system back to the mercenary webpage.Just as he logged into the web, a notification popped up.[Sabre sent a request to be your comrade]He chuckled at the use of the word 'comrade' instead of friend and clicked on the notification. That was when he saw that others including Hades, Valkyrie and so on had sent requests too.As soon as he accepted all the requests, Sabre sent a message with a link attached to it.[Blackwing, I'm inviting you to a mission]Levi arched a brow. He didn't know one could be invited to a mission. He clicked on the link and was redirected to a webpage.The mission was only just posted a few minutes ago and didn't have many members who already indicated interest.[Infiltrate a well guarded rival company to retrieve some data][Reward: 1000$][Three spots taken.

Later that evening as Levi left the old madam's room, he bumped into Luis. His path was obstructed as it was clear Luis didn't want to be the one to back away.Levi sighed inwardly and stepped aside. He didn't want to get involved with this man or his wife but somehow, they keep getting entangled.Luis didn't appreciate this sense of respect instead he turned to Levi with a grim expression and asked,"Are you always this idle?""Huh?" Levi was puzzled. This was the second time Luis will try to interact with him since Brooklyn brought him into the house."I mean, you never leave this house. You are always here. Everywhere... Do you really have nothing better to do?" Luis' lips curled up with repugnance.He tried to investigate Levi's background but couldn't find anything.It was clear someone powerful was keeping away his bio details from being known and the only person he can suspect is Brooklyn.But why? He really couldn't understand why his daughter would stoop so low to be with a m
