Brooklyn was asleep and Levi had just carried her out of the bathroom after their steamy session when a knock resounded on the door.He realized that earlier he had forgotten to close the door and was thankful no one had barged in while they were at it.It wouldn't have freaked him but his little wife will definitely shrink in embarrassment that she would want to bury herself.The knock came again and he picked up the shirt he had carelessly tossed on the floor earlier.As he tugged it over himself, he called out, "Come in."It was a guard. Levi didn't recognize him but he knew he had seen him several times working alongside James and was most probably one of Brooklyn's personal guards."Young master, some people are here to see you. I came to ask for your permission.""Who are they?" Levi's brows furrowed. He couldn't think of anyone that would come to visit."They gave their names as Hannah and Diana Campbell.""Let them in," Levi's furrowed brows eased and he waved dismissively.Th
When Levi got to Lincoln's ward after leading Hannah and Diana off, he could hear Cyrus' voice trying to pacify his wife.He was the one that had taken his wife away earlier otherwise a fight would have broken out in the hallway."Don't ask me to calm down! Don't tell me that! That despicable woman is the reason why our family isn't complete till this day! She was the one that caused all the troubles in our lives! Troubles we've had to live with till this day!"Levi has always known Marie to be a sweet and kind soul. For her to say so many vulgar words meant whatever his mother had done in the past was really terrible.Just how many people did that woman hurt... He stood against the wall feeling exhausted."Honey, seeing you shout like this makes me worry. I'm not asking you not to vent your anger but don't just raise your voice... Look, you woke Lincoln.""Mom..." Lincoln groaned as he tried to sit up leaving Marie to forget her anger for a second and rush to him.She helped him up a
"Where is my husband?""Young miss, he only stepped out for a while... He will be back soon. Please accept your food. You haven't eaten anything decent for hours."Levi stepped into Brooklyn's ward with Cyrus and Marie only to witness a nurse trying to coerce Brooklyn to eat.But she seemed frightened because she shrunk away and shook her head constantly. Her hands were covering her ears and she was shuddering."Get my husband... And you... stay away from me!"Levi's fists balled angrily as his eyes darkened. Whatever she went through at that dungeon must have been so scary for her to act this way.She didn't act this way when he had her earlier. It must have been the aphrodisiac."Miss—""I'll take it from here," Levi's cold voice almost made the plate fall from her hands.She saw how angry he was and thought he was angry at her so she nodded, dropped the plates and scampered away."Brooke... I'm here," Levi tried to touch her but she shrunk further at his touch like it was despicabl
Levi's eyes paused briefly over the date before they trailed down further to the other details.[Every other leader of the stock hall of fame will be present including J.J, Lord Of Stocks and many more]Levi's brows arched when he saw this. Naturally when he joined the stock market, he was intrigued by the people who had been occupying the top ten positions for a long time, particularly J.J.He had seen rumours on the webpage but the trader was only a youth when he joined and quickly began to break records causing him to earn a spot in the hall of fame.The email didn't end there and went on to,[If you accept our invitation, a spot will be reserved for in the webinar and the link to join will be sent to you]Levi didn't think much of it and sent his answer. Almost immediately, he received a confirmation mail.[You have successfully reserved a spot in the webinar. Be there on time. We will be expecting you!]Levi minimised the app after this and thought of the date. It was less than a
When the doctors left, the guards positioned outside Thomas' room fell to their knees and pleaded for their lives."Young master, we swear we have been here all night not even daring to close our eyes. We didn't see anyone come in or leave."Levi didn't respond. This was the highest floor and he didn't want to think of how someone could have gone in and come out unnoticed.One thing he knew was that his father wasn't safe. Seeing his expression, the guards trembled, already dreading their ends.While Cyrus thought differently and walked to Levi, "Boy, do you have someone in mind?"Levi didn't look up as he spoke, "I don't know who he is, uncle. If I get him, I swear I won't care if he is related to us or not, I'll send him to where he belongs."Cyrus' forehead creased. This means Levi knew something so he urged him to say everything he knew so they could know how to help.When they heard all the incidents from the shooting at the hotel, to almost drowning at the sea, the abduction and
"Sir, be rest assured. It's nothing serious. Your wife is only in a bit of shock. She will snap out of it soon enough."Although the doctor tried to reassure Levi, he was still worried as he watched Brooklyn who was now asleep.Hector was also in the ward as he had come for a visit but grandfather Hernandez was unable to make it because he had pressing matters to attend to."Are you certain we do not have to get a therapist?" Hector asked worriedly. He has never seen his sister being so fragile. In his own opinion, she was his confident, strong elder sister."No but we will have to keep on monitoring her and if it persists then we will take the next option and get her the therapist."The doctor gave them a few more instructions and even told Levi they could go home because Brooklyn seemed adamant on leaving the hospital.Levi and Hector visited Lincoln. Hector was quite surprised to see Marie and Cyrus. He couldn't help wondering again that they really were related to Levi.Now that n
Levi was waiting for grandfather Hernandez to end his phone calls when he received a call from an unregistered number. At first, he simply ended the call without a second glance.But then the person kept on calling that he had to step aside and answer the call. "Hello?""Why are you doing this?!" The furious voice that came through the phone made him pause."Who is this?""Levi, you dare act like you don't recognize my voice. How dare you?!"It only took a second then for Levi to realise who it was. A lazy smile danced on his lips as he retorted, "Do you need me to contact a psychiatrist since you obviously can't do it yourself?""Damn you!" Micheal was so enraged that Levi thought he could hear him squeezing the poor phone tightly."If this is why you have called, I'll gladly spare you the stress of a heart attack and end the call now.""I dare you to!"Tut-tut!Levi ended the call without batting an eye. He wasn't someone to ignore a dare and just as he thought, his phone rang again
Levi had to call someone from the city laboratory to pick up the pills he had snuck out. Now that James was injured and didn't look like he'd be getting back on his feet any moment from now, there wasn't another guard he could trust.He couldn't guarantee they wouldn't be in cahoots with Yolanda or Luis.He was still having a hard time believing Luis would want to hurt his own parents but the odour from the vitamins fermented the suspicion in his heart.Ring!Ring!He was coming out of the bathroom when his phone rang. He moved quickly to answer the call so as not to disturb Brooklyn who was still asleep."Hello—""Hello brother-in-law," Hector's voice cut off his words."Hector?" Levi rubbed his temple. "Why couldn't you have just walked up to my room instead of doing this? You almost woke my wife just now.""He'd be talking as if she isn't my sister too."He knew Hector meant to say this underneath his breath but he heard him loud and clear and thinking of his expression while he sa
