"I don't think I understand what you are asking me to say," Jake responded honestly. "No what I want to know is how did you plan on convincing me to actually leave town with Brittany.""Look, I know it was a long shot but I planned on telling you to go stay with your mom. I already called her and asked her if it would be okay for you to go stay with her for a few days and she said she was okay with it. That is all I wanted to do. It was my mess and I was planning on cleaning it up." Levi looked at Jake skeptically. He could always tell when the boy was lying. His ears would get watery but his eyes did not get watery. And Levi was tempted to believe that maybe he wasn't lying but how could he tell for sure?The man had successfully ruined any thoughts he had of him. Now he wasn't sure he knew when he was being serious and when he was telling a lie. "If you don't believe me, you can call your mom. Ask her if I called her few days ago to seek permission for you to go stay with her. If
"So?" Jake asked sarcastically"Wipe that smut look off your face before I do it for you." Levi said while dropping his phone. "So, why not tell me what mummy said?" Jake asked again. "You know exactly what she said.""Oh I do know but I still want to hear it again from you. So come on now, I'm listening." "Okay." Levi looked at Jake and huffed. "She said that you did actually call her and yes you did plan for us to go stay with her.""Okay, so?" By this time, he was grinning. "Well, that means that you were not lying and that you actually meant what you said. You were trying to protect me and I can't thank you enough for that. It really does make me feel better."Levi wasn't lying. He did feel so much better after having cleared the air about Jake. He was so excited to discover that the young man did not actually lie to him about wanting to save him. "I still think it is a stupid plan that would have never worked." "I don't care. As long as you understand that I did not mean to
"As you wish but when the consequences of your actions do finally catch up with you, I hope you will still be able to endure it," McCall."I don't think it is very polite to walk into a man's house and begin threatening him. Or could it be that no one raised you right?" Mark said walking out of the room. "I see your bodyguard is still here with you," he said to Levi and then turned around to face Mark. "If I were you, I would quit now that I still have the chance because when I am done with this man you call a boss, I promise you, you will wish you had listened to me." "Listen here young man. If you have enough time to waste, unfortunately we don't. You need to leave now before we make you regret ever stepping foot in here."McCall looked at Gilead and could not help but laugh."Okay, I have all day but because of my daughter, I need to leave. Levi, I am giving you some more time to think about it, and if you do think about it, try to do it alone. Without the help of your precious
Susan wasn't happy as that she had to be called out of her comfort zone to do something that would not bring her any form of pleasure.She hated it most when she was being blackmailed by Jake of all people. "Whatever you want to say, make it fast and clear or else..." "Or else nothing," Jake turned to face her and said abruptly. "Listen to me, you can't actually do anything to hurt me. If I was you, I would be more worried about myself than another person. Are you out of your mind? Fucking a mafia's king bodyguard? What if he catches you? Do you know that you could actually die?" "He is not going to catch me!" "Oh and that's because you are being so careful as to do it outside his bunker," Jake responded sarcastically."Listen here, Aiden and I love each other. He wants to be with me and I want to be with him too. He won't rat me out to his boss." "You love him?" Jake asked surprised."Yes I do." She answered proudly. Maybe she had a trailer run over her and she lost all her me
Jake smiled. He had finally gotten her to agree to his terms. Thing we're finally going his way. "The plan is really simple," he decided to begin talking immediately, before she would change her mind. "And really you will be killing two birds with one stone," he said with a smile."How do you mean?" Susan asked. "Just listen. So the plan is to invite the viper to an auction that will be held by none other than Levi Strauss and his company." "Continue," Susan said, finally smiling. "So we all know how much Levi loves real estate, lands, properties and all that. I mean since his uncle gave him that company it's all he knows to talk about. Well we are going to take advantage of that love and use it to ruin him.""How exactly do you think we will go about that?" "There are landed properties that hold no value but we will make it seem like they do. We will get both Levi and the Viper so engaged in betting for this land that they won't even know when..." Jake took a dramatic pause, wa
"Suzy, its up to you now. Whatever you say, whatever you want is exactly what I am going to do," Aiden said, carefully looking at her face, trying desperately to pick up any expression that she may want to hide from Jake "I don't trust you," Susan said out loud. "But I do believe, somehow that you want what is best for your family. I don't want to believe that you will jeopardize their lives in any way and trust me, if you play around with me like that, I will ensure that your family pays the full price for your betrayal. Do you understand?"Jake stood without nodding. He loved Levi like a brother but he also knew that once a woman became angry, it will close to impossible to calm her down. And with a character like Susan, she will not hesitate to put an end to his existence especially when she gets angry. After all, he wasn't The Viper or Levi who had an army ready to fight for him. Still, he knew that Levi would go to the ends of the earth just to make him happy and he could no l
Jake walked to get a seat, without saying a word. He was always the type to love dragging a matter for long. "Jake, you do know that we are waiting for you right?" Brittany asked him. "Yes I do. I just want to sit for a while." "Young man, you better," Jake did not allow Gilead to finish his statement before he blurted out. "She said yes. She agreed to do it.""Yes!" Levi exclaimed. He did not think it was going to happen but he was so happy that it did. He was finally going to get rid of that woman. That pest that never wanted to leave his skin."Wait, she agreed? Just like that?" Mark asked. He knew people like Susan. She wouldn't just agree to such a thing without some sort of bribe. "Well, at first I knew she wouldn't but luck totally smiled on me today. Do you know that when I got to the bunker, I saw her with the Viper's bodyguard. Or at least one of them. I quickly used that to my advantage. I told her how angry the viper would be if he ever found out about her and the gu

"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
