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
"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
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,
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
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
