"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
"You don't need to know this," Billy smiled but the smile quickly disappeared as if he remembered how repulsed Larry had looked earlier."You get to do what you want with Brooklyn. Isn't that your greatest fantasy?"Larry's gaze narrowed. This strange man knows too much and it wasn't good news."I only came out because you mentioned Levi. I hate him very much and would do anything to have him pleading at my feet for mercy.""No... No... No," Billy shook his head with a click of his tongue. "That's not how it works. You can't eat your cake and have it."Larry was a bit confused so Billy explained, "I want Levi. You want Brooklyn. Let's work together. Case settled or is your hatred for Levi greater than your lust for Brooklyn?"His question hit the nail on the head. Larry fell silent. Almost immediately, an image of Brooklyn looking so beautiful in those body hugging smart suits she used to wear made his groin ache so badly.His thoughts trailed further to her perky breasts and voluptuou
During these past few days, Levi kept thinking, 'No, I might be wrong. Even though father clearly doesn't like Brooklyn, he couldn't have done that to his own father. I might just be paranoid. It might not be what I thought.'But the test result completely broke his last hope. How could Luis have been so cruel like this?No, he had to stop grandfather from taking those vitamin pills any longer and question Luis why he did it.Did this mean he must have been the one behind grandmother's ailment too? Was this all because of the company?"Where are you going?" Brooklyn called out when he suddenly stood and attempted to walk out abruptly."The webinar is starting. You can't miss it," She had seen the mocking and harsh comments in the chat. She didn't want him to lose now."I'm going to grandfather's room. I'll only be gone for a few minutes. I will still catch up with the webinar when I return.""No," Brooklyn quickly moved to block his way when he attempted to leave again."You can't mis
Levi didn't get another chance to speak to grandfather Hernandez about the vitamins, the test or the result as Yolanda, Brooklyn or the old madam were always around him every time.Brooklyn wanted to know about what he was trying to say but he simply told her he couldn't go about spreading news if there was no proof.He even discovered Luis had given grandfather Hernandez another bottle of the same vitamins probably because he complained about the previous one going missing and he wondered how many more bottles there were.He even realised if he kept on taking away the bottles of vitamins, Luis could easily have them replaced so he went to a pharmacy instead and bought some vitamins which were good for the old man's body.He made sure they looked almost like the ones in the bottle before exchanging them. He soon noticed the old man's face, which was weak and pale, began to regain some of its colours.He was infuriated and pissed off but couldn't do anything without getting the evidenc
There was silence as they all waited for the chairman's response. One of the directors felt perhaps they were a bit too harsh with their words now thus warranting the delay in response so he tried to salvage the situation,"We are not saying the young master is not capable or competent. But there are some heights the elders will be able to attain which will still be like miles away for the youths so reconsider our opinion sir.""Fine," Levi could almost see grandfather Hernandez nod but his brows arched wondering what the old man was playing at now.The directors already exchanged looks of relief. They felt Luis would be overjoyed to hear this response.But their joy was quite short-lived because the next moment, grandfather Hernandez asked, "Give me one good and valid reason why Luis should run the company and can achieve things you think Levi can't."The directors looked at each other and began to mumble amongst themselves.Levi smiled knowingly and already took a seat. His palms we
So he decided to call one of them himself who was his long time confidante. But he was surprised again when his call went unanswered.When he tried for three more times and yet the same, he knew something was wrong. It was at that time his vehicle drove into the family's residence as he couldn't find it in himself to return after what had happened.But seeing his father made the anger sizzle again. "How could you do this to me father?! Just let me know why you have always treated me like this? Am I really your son?"His accusations were all too sudden so grandfather Hernandez couldn't quickly think of a response.But Hector stepped in, "father" but Luis wasn't having any of it. He pointed at Hector and yelled, "I know you know! You didn't even think of your own father just now.""Honey," Yolanda came running after hearing the chaos and Brooklyn was behind her but she stood at a safe distance as she watched her father go berserk.Luis grabbed Yolanda's hand, "Let's leave. They don't ca
