"Sir, I hope you understand that this girl can actually kill you in that room if you are left alone with her, right?" Jayden asked. "With the camera in that room, nothing bad can happen. Listen this may be the only shot we have, we have to take full advantage of it." Jayden looked sternly at Levi. He could tell that the man was serious about what he wanted. Nothing was going to deter him from what he wanted. But he also knew that if he did anything and hurt came to Levi Strauss, he would not get to hear the end of it. "Sir, if I am to allow this happen, I will have to put a guard in the room with you." "No, I will not allow that. Look, Davina wont talk if she see policemen and cameras in the room. You will need to hide a listening device in that room and if possible, the camera you said you needed. But no body apart from me and her have to be in that room." "Sir..." Jayden tried to oppose."Jayden, get me what I asked for because I tell your boss about this," he threatened. "Hmm
"What do you mean by that?" Levi folded his hands, standing erect and staring at him. "Were you not there when I saw her for the first time? At the hospital? Look, Levi the only thing that I did was running into her that day." "You know that's a lie, Davina. You have met her before then. We go to the same school and you met her when I went to dinner with her. Remember when you stalked me to my car at the restaurant outskirts. You have met her before, so why then are you lying?" "Let me see. Maybe it's because know that you already know all that. I mean, if you had the answers to them, why did you still bother me with the ridiculous questions?" "I am trying...""I know what you are trying to do pretty boy. You are trying to defend your ex. Tell me, why are you even with me if you want to be defending her at times like this? I bet you are probably happy that she put me here. Don't you just love seeing me in chains? Don't you?!" She screamed. "Dee, you need to calm down," Levi said,
"Levi," her tone changed. "You won't do this to me. You told me that you have broken up with her." Levi walked to the door and banged on it. "I never said such a thing to you. You only assumed it." A tear fell down her eyes. She couldn't believe that she was played so smoothly. Her father had raised her to be very smart but because of her feelings for him, she could not bring herself to be her true devious self. As she thought about it, she quickly realized that the young man had never told her that he had broken up with her. Neither did he ever tell her that they were together. But she so badly wanted to believe a lie that she made up and she kept saying it over and over again, hoping that it would soon become her reality. But reality was far from her. She couldn't differentiate what she truly wanted anymore.Was she doing this for her father or was she doing it for her own sanity. What would she tell her father when he starts asking questions? "So do you mean you guys are still
Levi almost pulled off the driveway, when suddenly a car came to a sudden halt behind him. "What the hell?" He said, looking out his rear view mirror."What the hell is wrong with this person?" He said angrily as he tried to back out again. When he noticed that the individual was not giving any headway, he honked hoping that the man would get the message and drive off. But still, the man made no move to leave. "This man must be out of his senses," he finally concluded as he turned off his engine and stepped out the car. He walked to the drivers side and tapped on the window. It was immediately winded down."Can't you see that I am trying to back out here? Can you please drive away so that I can leave?" Levi asked politely. He did not want to stay longer than he had to and arguing would have made him stay so much longer. "Levi Strauss," he heard a voice call from the back seat. It was a voice he had heard before but he still couldn't tell who had it. "Who is that?" He asked to be
"Mr. Strauss, I apologize for this but I promise you that we will ensure he doesn't harrass you anymore," Jayden said after Mr. McCall left. "Jayden, I want you to be totally honest with me. Can you do that?" Levi started. He needed answers and answers were exactly what he was going to get. "Yes, I can. What seems to be the problem?" Jayden asked without even thinking twice about it."Well, let me understand something. You told me that the police force is scared of that man." Immediately Jayden knew where he was going and his countenance changed. "Sir, I never said that. I only said that we have been looking for a way to get a hold of him for months now and we haven't been able to find one because the man is so slick cautious and influential." "But the man is scared of the police force. I saw it today.""Almost everyone is scared of the police, especially when we gather like we just did. It doesn't mean that we can use that as evidence to put him away forever though. There are st
"Levi, what the hell are you doing?" Jake asked as he tried to scramble to the back of the bed."Move and I promise you I will put an end to your existence!" He seethed. "You were my best friend. My best fucking friend. Why would you do that to me? Go on! Give me one good reason why you would go ahead and hurt me like this?" "Okay, how about you just calm down and tell me what you are talking about. What are you trying to say to me?" "I know that you were the one that went behind my back to work with whoever it is you are working with and plot my downfall. Now, my question is pretty simple. Why the hell would you do that?" Levi couldn't contain his anger. He had tried his very best to maybe understand why he would do such a thing. They were friends for crying out loud. They were so close to the point that Levi thought of him as his brother. That's why he found it so difficult to wrap his head around the fact that he would lie to him and betray him in such a manner. "Levi, I can ex
"Wait," Levi started slowly. "Are you trying to tell me that..? Wait, which Susan are you referring to?" He asked. "Susan, your ex girlfriend. I don't know what she is doing now and where she is getting money from but I know that she has it and she is the one behind this." "That's a lie," Mark immediately responded. "You know exactly where she is getting the money from so why then are you lying about it?""I am not lying about anything. I have no idea.""Keep shut Jake. If all you are going to be doing is lying to me, then shut the hell up. Mark knows that you are lying and I also know that you are lying," Levi told him. "Susan is not the type to hide her true nature. She is not the type to pretend like she is broke. She likes to brag. So any source that is giving her this money is one that you know so well. Now you lying about it just goes to show that she did not threatened you. You probably wanted to do this and you are eager for it." Jake looked from Levi to Mark. He had forg
Levi looked from Mark to Jake. He did not want to believe that the duo had ganged up against him. But then both had been accused of giving him the toughest time of his life. "Okay, look I don't understand what both of you are up to but I can assure you that I will not be played for a fool by anyone.""Levi, no one is trying to play you for a fool. At the very least, if Jake want to do a thing like that, do you really think that I will do that as well?" Mark asked him. "Well, I used to believe that you wouldn't but right now I am not so sure. You are taking his side after all " "I am not taking his side. I am just agreeing to it. All I am saying is that an insider is always the bes bet to win against anyone." "Alright then." Levi said, staring at Jake skeptically. "I will allow this to happen but trust me if I so much as perceive you trying to do anything fishy, I will pounce on you like it's the very last thing I do and trust me, you will feel my anger and die from it.""I don't d
"So are you ready for it?" Gilead said as he approached Levi. "Yes uncle. I believe I am." "You must know how proud I am of you. You do know that right?" "Yes I do." Levi did not care of he was just father or his uncle. Since he came back into his life he has always treated him like his own son. He cared for him, gave him a bodyguard when people threatened his life. He did everything for him and never wanted to stop. He was more than happy that the man was just in his life and he did not care if he lied about being his uncle. "We should start going if we don't want to be late.""Yes. You are absolutely correct." Levi said. "Thank you for everything you have done for me, thank you." He said and walked away, heading straight to Brittany's room. "Did you ask him?" She asked when he got there but Levi could not answer. He was too mesmerized by the beauty standing in front of him. Everyday he saw new beautiful features in her and always asked himself how he ever got so lucky. "You lo
"Do you think that will work?" Levi asked. "It has to work because if that bastard does anything to my mother, I promise you it will be the last thing because I will use my own hands to kill him." "Okay, you just need to calm down now. I'm sure he will be able to..." Levi did not finish his statement when Brittany got another call. "Who is that?" Levi asked. "I don't know. Let me answer?" She said and picked the call. "Hello," Davina's voice was heard from the other side. "Davina." "I'm glad you already know who I am. Meaning that I don't need to do any sort of introduction, right?"."I'm guessing Henry gave you my number, isn't that right?" "Now now miss, it's not good to address your own father by his first name. That is disrespectful." "When that same father kidnaps my mother and wants to use her for randsom, I will do whatever the hell I want to." "Oh that is hardly kidnapping. What we are about to do will benefit you as well, you know." "How will lying to Levi to steal
"What? Today?" She asked. "Why?" "Well the company is having a party today and my uncle wants to use that opportunity and transfer the company and everything it holds to me. So you see, if we don't do this before that time, unfortunately, we may not be able to get what we want from this plan." "Wow, babe that's wonderful news. Congratulations!" Brittany said and ran to hug him. "Thank you but you did hear the other things I said right. We need to get this correct if not, it will not be funny." "Yes I hear you. I understand everything that you are saying. But I still think the time is too short. Don't you think she will notice and if she does and eventually finds out what we are trying to do, you know that every plan we have will be ruined like that. I honestly don't think we should do this." "We have no other option. It's either we do this now or we forget about it totally. Look, babe I believe in you. I know you can convince her. You just need to try and give it your all." "I h
Levi got home late because they had to stop by and get dinner. By the time he arrived, his uncle was already fast asleep. The young man walked into his home and slept peacefully with his woman till the next morning. As the sun rose, so did Levi but when he turned, he realized that Brittany was no where to be found. He turned around on his bed and saw a note beside him."Hi, baby. If you wake up before I am done, just know that I am in the kitchen cooking." He smiled when he finished reading the message and he proceeded to move to his kitchen. He was not able to make it because his uncle was waiting for him in the palour.."Is everything alright uncle?" He asked from the way the man stared at him. "You walked out on me yesterday. And you are yet to apologize." "I am so sorry sir. It's just that Brittany was in danger and I had to go save her." "I know. Jake told me everything. Listen to me. It does not matter how upset you are. You should never hold a woman the way you did yesterd
"What?!" Officer Joseph shouted. "Sir you can't fire me." He said"But I just did. Young man, you made an illegal arrest and you did not even go there with your partner because you know that he would have called you out on your bullshit. No, you decided to go with a rookie who would not agrue with anything you did. Not only did you not just defame the law, you made a fool of it and I will not tolerate any sort of nonsense in my force." "But sir. I was just...""If you say you were doing your job one more time, I promise you I will have you locked up." "Sir, if I may," Levi said as he pulled himself upward from his chair. "What could that be sir?" "Sir, I would love it if officer Joseph here could tell us exactly what it is that he did to ensure that he had strong evidence to back up his claims." "What?" Officer Joseph said in shock. "Well, you keep saying that you were only doing your job so now I want to know, what exactly did you use as evidence to arrest my woman with? Becau
"Okay, I don't really care about all these nonsense. I just want Brittany to be released. Can you guys please just do that before you think of what to do to this riff raff?" Levi said angrily. "Oh certainly sir." Jayden said but before he could move, he stopped when his name was called. "Officer Jayden, the commissioner is around and he is requesting to see you." "Okay, thank you." "Oh I see that the commissioner is around. Release Brittany and we will all go see him together." Levi said. "The commissioner?" Officer Joseph said, shaking. He was slowly realizing what he had gotten himself into. "Yes, the commissioner. Oh are you shaking right now. Please don't shake. After all, I can't do anything to hurt you neither can I even fire you. So don't worry, you are definitely in safe hands." Levi said mockingly and walked away to meet Brittany as she walked out of the cell that Jayden was opening. Jayden opened the cell immediately and Brittany ran out. She hugged him tightly, scare
Levi got to the station before the commissioner did and immediately he got there he walked hastily into the station. He did not say a word to anyone because he knew the station well enough. It was the same place Davina had stayed when he got her arrested.The man walked straight, ignoring all calls from other police men till he was eventually stopped by one. "Sir, you can't go back there. That is where we keep the criminal," the young man said while holding him. "Sir, first of all, you will need to tell me who you want to see and then I will be the one to either allow you to meet this person or not." Levi stood without talking, waiting for him to be done with whatever he was saying. "So sir, what I am saying is that you will have to come with me and give me information as to why you are here," the man explained again, thinking that Levi did not understand him the first time. "Oh don't worry Dave, I know exactly who he is here to see," beside him, Levi heard the voice that he was
"Levi Strauss!" The voice of his uncle brought him back to reality as he looked and saw that the man was boiling with anger. "Uncle," he said. "Have you gone out of your mind?" The man screamed. "When did you start holidng women by their necks and trying to kill them?" He said angrily. Levi looked at him. He did not know if Davina was lying when she said that he was his father. And he did not care to know..all he knew was that he was angry, boiling with anger and having him around was not going to solve his problem or make Brittany to be released from jail. Angrily he left the scene and ran upstairs. "Levi! Come back here!" He ordered but the young man was far gone. His uncle stood there in shock. He did not understand what was happening but he knew that he had never seen Levi is a disrespectful child and for him to walk out on him when he was talking was something he never thought the man would do. "What the hell has gotten into that boy? Is it me that he just ran away from?" H
"Please take her away!" The leader said. "Take your hands off her I say!" Levi said angrily and almost bounced on the man. The cocking of a gun by the leader brought him to an halt. He turned around to see the man holding a gun in her hand. "Step away from my partner or I promise you that I will shoot." "You actually have the audacity to point a gun at me?" Levi asked, his eyes turning red. "Levi!" Brittany shouted. "Levi, look at me!" She said, her hands behind her back, drawing Levi's attention to her. "Take care of my mom while I am gone and get me out of this as soon as you can." She said while being dragged out. "I won't let you spend up to an hour in there." He shouted as he watched her being lowered into the back of the police van and driven away. As the car zoomed off, Levi turned to Ivy. "You have the audacity to bring police officers into my home to arrest my woman." He said silently, taking slow steps towards her. "I had to do what I did for us!" Ivy said, not sca
