Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 105: Her Good Househusband
Few minutes later, Brooklyn held a half eaten apple as she gaped at Levi who was wearing an apron in amazement.He moved too quickly, she could barely tell how he was doing it but the aroma from whatever he was cooking did nothing to quench her hunger.Click!He switched off the cooker and dropped the pot before proceeding to dish out the food.If it wasn't for the last ounce of self-esteem she had, she would have salivated."You really can cook. I thought you were kidding earlier."Levi chuckled at her words but didn't respond as he was laying out the dishes on a tray before removing his gloves."The dining or—""Our room," She cut him off with a smile. Her eyes flickering brightly.She got off the kitchen island and tossed the half eaten apple into a trash can before trailing after him sheepishly.After Levi had cleared off the dirty dishes and returned to the room; preparing to take a shower, Brooklyn was still patting her now round stomach with a satisfied look.He shook his head
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 106: Are You The Boss?
"Mr Lloyd, I'm Davis," A middle-aged man with a good body stature walked forward with a team of secretaries trailing behind him to receive Levi.The latter accepted his handshake and nodded. Davis was pleased to see the new big boss was quite humble and quickly turned around to lead the way.With each regal step Levi took, the other employees standing were forced to lower their heads. When he was finally out of sight, the employees couldn't hold back from gossiping."Oh my God, the new boss is so handsome! He even accepted the president's handshake just now. He's so humble. The perfect prince charming," the females squealed."But he only nodded. He doesn't seem like a man of many words."" It doesn't matter. Isn't he like the typical CEOs from TVs?"The male employees shook their heads at the words they heard. One in particular that was a bit envious of the attention the females were giving their new boss interrupted the conversation,"What if he's already taken? God-like men like th

Billy didn't notice Davis shaking his head as he gave Levi a disgusted scrutinizing gaze."Just because you earned little money to rent this expensive suit and the accessories doesn't mean you have to act like a boss.""Say, if I accidentally rip off your jacket, will you be able to afford it?"Levi's face twitched with anger and his eyes darkened behind the dark shades.Before anyone could say anything, James and one other bodyguard walked forward.Bugh!"Ah!" Billy's cries were accompanied with the sound of bones cracking as he fell to his knees in front of Levi embarrassingly."Ah! Who are you? How dare you touch me? I could sue you for assault! Ah!" Sweat gathered on his forehead as his face distorted in pain."President!" He cried to Davis for help.He didn't expect the president would give him a pitiful look and look down at him."Billy, how could you be so stupid? I thought of you as one of the most trusted employees but you committed so many atrocities and still dared to show u
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 108: You Know Something
City Police Station,Levi stood at a safe distance from the family gathered with the police watching the surveillance system.His eyes darted to the two young, blonde haired men, especially the younger one holding his mother.Were these the brothers Diana mentioned that day? So these were his mother's stepsons."For how long has she been chatting with this guy?" The commander in chief asked Diana's friend who was also present.A petite, young lady with short curly hair and beautiful eyes who hasn't stopped staring at Levi since he got there.She kept on sighing at the fact that she had met Diana's brothers and never knew she actually had another older one who was actually so gorgeous.She felt like she was melting at his piercing gaze and because she was so lost gawking at Levi, she didn't hear the commander's question."Girl," An officer had to nudge her and she looked away in embarrassment.The blonde haired men, Kevin and Josh Campbell, looked at Levi who was resting against a wall.

"That territory your sister went into is a main base dominated by the popular and current don king Dominique. The whole area is under his command.""There have been cases of several girls who have gone missing in the past and have been traced to that place but we have never gotten a substantial lead.""Officers who have tried to investigate in the past have also mysteriously gone missing so the police force is wary of dealing with Dominique. Like I said, no one goes in there and comes out alive.""And till date, no one knows Dominique's specific whereabouts."A thoughtful look dwelt on Levi's face upon hearing the officer's words.No wonder the commander had been acting strangely and appeared to be hiding something."Just now, you had a meeting with the commander. When were you going to swing into action?""I already told you enough," The officer was jittery and suddenly couldn't meet his eyes. "The little I told you could cause me to lose my job. If I dare to say another word to you,
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 110: He Is Coming!
The impact of the strike on Levi's chest was tremendous, it popped two of the buttons on the shirt that one could see the fingerprints on his slightly hairy chest.He looked down at his chest which surprisingly didn't hurt from the hit and swallowed a wave of anger before looking back up at the mobster."I don't have much time. Where is Dominique?""Hey man!" The mobster was enraged. "Are you deaf or what?"Gbam!The mobster struck again, trying to push Levi backwards with his heavy palm but something surprising happened.He looked up at Levi as his eyes widened slightly and he tried again to push him but just like the first strike, he didn't bulge.It was like Levi was a rock he couldn't move. The other mobsters wondered what was going on and why their brother was hesitant to knock out the annoying man.The mobster and Levi made eye contact. The former tried again with all his strength to push Levi but he still didn't bulge.Now there was this tiny sense of fear that arose in the mobs

At the city's border, a black van pulled down the desolate road heading towards the dock where some ships were waiting.However as the vehicle came to a stop, a phone rang. The young man captured on the screen that had met up with Diana earlier answered the call."Hello big brother.""Where are you? Where are the girls?"He didn't realize the urgency in Dominique's voice as he exchanged a smile with the man in the passenger seat beside him and answered heartily,"We just got to the dock. They are already waiting to receive them so we'll be back soon."He thought Dominique was worried about them taking too much time to return as they had to deal with quite a lot of security checkpoints while conveying the girls here.He didn't expect Dominique to suddenly say, "Turn around. Bring the girls back.""Huh?" He was perplexed and switched the phone to loudspeaker so his partner could hear."We are already here. Why would—""Are you questioning me?" Dominique barked. "Bring the girls back imme
Levi Lloyd: Race To The Top 112: Underworld in Uproar
When Levi returned to the Hernandezes residence, the entire place was silent but there were some maids going about trying to finish their tasks and rest for the day.As he passed by one of the maids who was unaware of his presence because she was engrossed with what she was watching, he suddenly heard a news anchor say,"Popular don king, Dominique, fatally humiliated and handed over to the police by a source who chooses to remain anonymous.""What explosive news! It's a common thought that someone like Dominique won't be captured but we were proved wrong. He probably messed with the wrong person this time."Levi's lips curled slightly at the last sentence but without a bit of reaction, he walked away.Brooklyn was fast asleep when he slipped into the room. He walked to the foot of the bed and watched her for a second before backing away.He spent quite some time in the bathtub, reliving everything that's happened. He thought of Diana's words and wondered why Hannah always mentioned h

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

"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
