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
"Hey c'mon," Levi tried to hold hands with Brooklyn on the way to the dinning but she ignored him all because he got her clothes so wet she had to change.It was funny seeing her act mad though and so he couldn't keep the smile off his face.But this smile quickly vanished when they got to the dining and he just so happened to make eye contact with his father-in-law.Luis had this smug look on his slightly wrinkled face which was a bit suspicious to Levi because it appeared to him like the old man knew something or he was planning something mischievous.But his eyes didn't stray for too long as he held out a chair for Brooklyn to sit before taking his seat.Hector made faces to Brooklyn at his lovey-dovey while the latter pointed a finger in his direction.But Levi was aware Luis sneered when he did that.'I still can't tell what exactly is this man's problem with me. Is it the fact that I married his daughter or I'm not that scumbag, Larry?'"Mother!" Yolanda's sickly sweet voice dis
"Levi," Brooklyn called out as soon as she walked into the room. With an aggrieved face, she added, "What was all that?"She didn't respond but she walked to Levi and was sitting on the swiveling chair in front of the PC.It was when she got closer that she saw the file in his hands. Her eyes squinted as she realized it was his copy of their agreement.Is he seriously considering divorcing her?Her insides boiled with rage as she scowled threateningly,"Let me tell you. I won't be signing any bullshit of divorce papers and you... Don't even think of letting me go. We are bound in this lifetime. You can try in your next lifetime."Her loud voice gradually grew low and hoarse as she hit him on the back. "How could you even think of something like that? What made you think I'll let you go? You..."Her eyes widened as he turned the swiveling chair around and suddenly caught her wrist. He pulled her to sit on him and suddenly smiled cheekily."And what made you think I was going to divorce
"Oh, you've heard of me? I only created this account a week ago or so."Brooklyn couldn't believe Levi was able to say these words with an oblivious and serious face. Does he have any idea how he has been creating waves with his strategic success in the stock market?"You..." She was speechless and didn't bother wasting time explaining to him.She sat on him and he was all too obliged to hold her. She collected the mouse cursor and navigated to his dashboard.Her eyes widened slightly when she saw the history and account of his earnings. It was even more than she had heard.Turning to look at him, the first words that came out of her mouth was, "Husband, who exactly are you?"Levi threw his head back and laughed. "Who do you think I am?"His response wasn't explicit or explanatory. Brooklyn's eyes narrowed as she stared into his eyes.Now she was more curious about what this husband of hers does. The reports she had gotten from her men had no news about his occupation like it was deli
"You are welcome to join me if you want to know more," Levi teased a fuming Brooke from a little crack at the walk-in closet.She threw a piece of clothing in his way. "It isn't fair. Why don't you tell me things about you? Like how you have a sister I never knew about.""I only just found out about her. Besides, you don't tell me things about you either.""You..." Brooklyn was exasperated. "That's it. I'm leaving without you.""Simple... Then we both miss the flight," Levi gave her a cheeky smile and turned away."Levi!"_____________The Continental Times was practically bustling with energy and activity as employees walked by, each one dealing with his affairs.Not even daring to gather up and gossip as usual as they were all aware the big boss was on the top floor.They were all itching to know what the purpose of his presence was and why he came today again.Besides, the female employees wanted to steal more glimpse at their handsome big boss.Meanwhile, on the top floor, Levi wa
As two black Rolls-Royce sped on the highway, a jeep accompanied with some bikes tailed them. At first, it wasn't obvious but some observant people in the luxurious vehicles soon noticed."Young master."Levi tapped his fingers on the leather cushion. His eyes closed with the other palm on his face while he waited for James to come through the mini speaker in the car again."It seems like we are being followed."Tap!Levi's fingers tapped on the cushion one more time and stopped abruptly."I noticed."Before laying back, he had seen a glimpse of the jeep and the bikes some distance away from them. He had his suspicions but he wasn't too sure.Now that James mentioned it, it cleared his doubts. His closed eyes hid away his cold expression as he spat out,"Let's split. When you get them, don't let them go. You must find out who sent them."'I don't necessarily just strike against anyone but if you seek my animosity, you will get it!' he thought."Got it. We'll distract them. The chauffe
The chauffeur managed to stop the car before it hit a pole but there was still a small collision causing the ones behind to jolt forward.Thankfully, their seat belts were on which avoided them being thrown off their seats."Young master, I already called for backup. James caught up with the other group," The guard whispered as he reached out to undo Levi's seat belt before opening the door.It wasn't advisable for them to remain in the car as these goons could do anything."Young master, you should stay here. I can handle them," he informed Levi as they crept out.The chauffeur and Levi crouched by one side of the car while the chauffeur charged out to attack the goons.Levi peeked out and saw that there were about six to seven masked goons fighting against the guard. Although he was well trained, he could easily be overpowered.Bang!The chauffeur covered his ears in fear as a bullet hit the car they were hiding behind."That's it," Levi gritted his teeth and stepped out. One of the
