Brittany looked dumfounded. If she was shocked, she did a very good job at hiding it but then again, Levi wasn't looking for facial expressions. After all, Jayden did not attach anything like a camera to his body. All he wanted was for the woman to use her words and say something that may implicate her. "What do you mean by that?" And maybe she knew because she was taking forever to say anything he could use against her. "My bodyguard. He just up and left when I needed him the most. I feel like he is part of the people working against me." "Now, why would he be working against you?" "Maybe he is being paid more money by my enemies than I am. Or maybe his loyalty is just with another person. Do you get what I mean?" Brittany took a sip of her champagne that the waiter just finished pouring and nodded her head. "Well the solution is quite simple. Just get a new bodyguard then." "It's not that easy to replace someone. You should know that." "So why was it so easy for you to repl
Levi opened the door slowly and saw Jayden with Brittany and Jake standing outside.Immediately, Brittany ran inside and threw her arms around him, engulfing him in a tight hug."I was so scared for you. Are you okay? Did that witch hurt you?" She asked while checking for marks on his body."She did not hurt me. She did not even suspect a thing and Jayden, I said you should not allow anyone else to come with you." "I'm sorry sir but they insisted on being here and seeing you. I couldn't say no.""Why? Because no has become a very difficult word to say?" He asked and walked back to the sofa in the palour."Why does it sound like you don't want us to be here with you?" Brittany asked getting upset. "Because I don't, okay. Look, it is very risky for you to stay here and I know that no matter how much I talk or kick against it, you wouldn't listen. But just imagine, what would actually happen if Davina showed up here? What would happen if she found you? I did not go back to the safe hou
"Jayden told me that it was okay to come in." Brittany said as she poked her head into the room. "Yeah,it is actually." Levi stood up as Brittany walked into the room."I'm sorry for talking to you the way I did. You did not deserve such negative treatment. I should have been easy on you. It wasn't your fault that what happened, happened." "You need to understand that I was just worried about you. I just wanted to help and staying alone in that house wasn't going to help you. Or so I thought.""Well, it doesn't really matter right now. I am happy that you are here," he said and pulled her in for a hug. Brittany rested on his chest, listening to his heart beat. She had missed how soothing it normally was to her ears. She couldn't believe how she survived for so long without it."I missed you," she finally said the words she held on for so long. "I missed you too," Levi said with a soft smile, gladdening Brittany's heart. She couldn't believe he was actually saying those words to he

Davina squinted her eyes. Maybe it was as a result of the sun but she couldn't tell if the men that stood before her were playing a prank or not. But they had to be. After all, what else would make them come to her house and tell her that she is under arrest? What were her crimes? "Listen here gentlemen, as you can see an feel, it is very hot outside and I am trying to finish up with my greenhouse so that I can have some time to rest and attend to other parts of my life. Trust me, the last thing I need right now is for you to come here and play a stupid prank on me. So please, Rebecca will show you to the door," she said and turned around. Immediately, Jayden took that opportunity to put cuffs on her hands. "You are under arrest for threatening the life of Brittany Davis.""What? Get your hands off me," Davina struggled with the cuffs but Jayden was relentless."You have the right to remain silent as anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law," he continu
"What did you just say?" Levi asked through seething teeth. It had to be a mistake. He obviously did not hear him well. Maybe he was just lying or trying to be funny but his silence was not doing anything to make it better. He needed the young man to speak. He needed to know what stupid thing he had done and how he was going to punish him for using the move of his life as a Scape goat to arrest Davina McCall. "Open your mouth and speak, young man!" He commanded over the phone and Jayden felt the vibrations of his anger all over his bones. "Now you need to understand that I did not have a choice here. It was the most reasonable excuse to use at the time and I know that she already has a bone to pick sign her." "And so you thought to yourself, why not tell her the bone she has been chasing for months had finally made itself available to her. Of course she would be so excited to want to devour it," Levi taunted, trying to keep his anger at bay. He knew that he was failing woefully at
"Mark?!" Levi asked shocked. He couldn't believe that the man had suddenly come out of nowhere. What made him come back? He probably heard that his boss was arrested and decided to come out of the shadows. Now his life was in serious danger with Mark around. The man would go to great lengths to ruin him, especially after they went after his boss. Levi feared more for Brittany. He could just tell that the man had come for revenge. He wasn't going to allow him get any of it. Immediately, he slammed the door at his face but forgot that the door did not lock on its own and even if it did, a experienced man like Mark would be able to get it open before he could even say a word. "Brittany, get out of here!" He screamed at her wanting her to be safe and sound. Mark forced the door opened and walked in like nothing ever happened. But the few minutes that Mark used to contemplate on what to do gave him enough time to pick up a weapon and arm himself with it. "Don't move," he said, point
"You must think that we are stupid and we don't know what you are trying to do here," Brittany said. "I am not lying ma. If you doubt me, how about we go to the house and I will show you where I left the letter. It's probably still there till now." "Oh of course. You want us to go back to the same house that you claim the culprit knows about. Yeah right," Brittany scoffed. Every bone in her body hated Mark. Because of him, they had gotten into such troubles that threatened to break them all. "I am telling you the truth, sir," Mark turned to Levi. "I believe you," Levi said after a while. Immediately Brittany flung her head to look at him. She did not understand the man. Could he totally be that blinded that he could not see that his precious bodyguard was lying? Or was he that scared and needed protection at all cost? "What the hell is wrong with you? How can you sa that you believe him when you know that he is lying through his nose?" Brittany asked. "Because he isn't lying. I
