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
As they turned to stare at the person that walked in with them, they saw none other than Mr. Gilead. All but Mark was surprised to see the man standing in front of them dressed like a snack. "Uncle," Levi rushed to his side's. The man was holding a stick to walk and Levi knew that he coupled with his illness, he was in so much pain. "Uncle you are not supposed to be here," Levi told him. "Well when you left my company unattained to and you kept giving Stevens command over the phone, I knew I had to find you and help you sort this out so that you can get back to doing the job for which I pay you." The man said."Yes. I understand. Forgive me for not doing the right thing and for not telling you about it." "I don't blame you for that. Hell, you were going through your own problems. Having to deal with mafia kings and jealous exes," he chuckled. "Well, have a seat," Levi said, ushering him to where he could sit. "Alright. Look, I had to understand what exactly was going on and I la
"Why are you making it sound like you had a choice in the first place?" Levi asked as he stood up to head to the bathroom. "You know, you can be very mean when you are angry.""Oh I am sorry if I hurt your feelings," Levi said sarcastically and handed a cup of water to his uncle. He had been coughing a lot and he couldn't wrap his head around why the man couldn't just treat himself or best, get some well deserved rest "Young man," Gilead said and held onto his hand, "I know you have a lot on your plate right now but you will have to go back to the company and put things in place.""I did not know things had fallen out of place," he said sincerely. "Well, they are not probably informing you about it. When last did you speak with Steven?" "It's been a while but we do share mails.""There is only so much that can do to help, I must say." "Sir, I don't really think this is the time to be discussing about the company," Mark said. "If Levi here is being killed then he will, unfortuna
"You do know that I can tell when someone is lying to me right?" Susan got up from her high seat to Jake's level and finally spoke in such a demeaning manner. "I know you can," Jake replied her. After all, once anyone has stayed with a mafia king for as long as she has, it wouldn't come as a surprise that she would pick up some tricks that they know. "So why then are you lying to me?" She stood right in front of him and asked. Jolting himself back to life from the death of her scent, Jake coughed.She must have been behind those walls for a long time. That was one of the things Viper forbade her from doing. Having a life and stepping foot outside.According to him, no one apart from him was supposed to be his baby. If only the man was on social media platforms to see how much of herself to showing to anyone who cared enough to look. "Okay, now. I don't want you to get scared," Jake said while his hand remained calm, trying to not visible shake in front of her. "I think Levi knows
