"What did he say?" Brittany asked. She did not like the look of on the face. It mirrored defeat and anger. Both were not a good look on him. Somehow, she had figured that girl was too much of a slut. Mayb she even slept with the judge to get a pass. Because with what Levi told her, then it wasn't possible for her to leave there without doing something fishy. "Well, you will never believe what she did?" Levi said, sitting down his phone. "Her father has a hand in this madness. Can you imagine that besides everything, what the judge thought would be a good punishment for her was to simply give her some community service and a ban." "Are you serious?!" Brittany asked, shocked. What sort of influence did her father truly have to be able to get her out of such huge mess that she was in. That was supposed to be it for her. She was not supposed to be able to escape from that. But her father must have such strong illegal connection to be able to get her out of it."How is that possible?
"You really need to stop walking out when the discussion gets a bit tensed," Levi said as soon as he got into the room. "Well, I wouldn't have to get tensed if you would just listen to me and do as I say," Brittany replied, and removed his face from him. Something about it pissed her off the more she saw it. Levi looked at her and scoffed. Her pretense to not want to see his face was kind of lovely. "You need to get this thought out of your mind. You know that I listen to you and I do everything you want but you not wanting to do this is just absurd.""How is it absurd?! You want to use me as bait?" Brittany charged at him. "When you say it like that, you make it sound like I am doing everything in my power to wreck you. You do know that I am in on this as well right? I mean, it's not only your life that will be disturbed? Mine will as well. We will be putting ourselves in harm's way but I promise you that we will get out of it. As a matter of fact, it's the only way this is actua
"We can do this," Levi said to himself while looking at his friends and when he realized that they could not here why he was saying, he finally opened his mouth to talk.."We can do this. We just need to be more organized and make fast decisions." "Levi is right. We can do this. And besides, it's better late than never. If we let this go now, we may lose this opportunity forever," Jake said. "I don't think you guys fully understand what you want to do. You want to make one of the most feared man in this country to stake all his money on some pieces of land that don't even exist. What do you think will happen to you guys once he loses that money?" "Well, what can I say. He won't be able to do anything because he will have no funding.""Exactly. He will have no funding to take care of anything he needs. Including Susan.""He may not have money but he will still have some loyal men that will be willing to do anything he asks. And one of the things he asks for maybe just be your head o
"Mark, what the hell is that?" Levi said as Jake scurried behind him to hide. It was the second time he had a gun pointed to his face and he knew that it was just a matter of time before he would be shot."What?" Mark asked as if he did not know what he was holding or worse, the damage such things could do. "You are holding a gun and pointing it at me. What the hell is going on?!" Levi asked. If he as about to be betrayed by Mark again, he would be livid. He had trusted that man and would be heartbroken if he learnt that all that was in vain and the guy actually was still against him. Immediately, Mark's eyes widen and he looked this hand. "Oh, I am so sorry about this. I did not even know I was holding it." "What?" Levi did not know how that was possible and so he asked. "No, I mean I did know that I was holding it obviously but I did not know that I was actually pointing it at you still. It was a safety measures. We can't be too careful this period. Especially with everyone tryi
The day flew by like a breeze. Levi could feel his stomach tightening and lossening intermittently. He wasn't worried for himself. No he as more concerned for the people around him. The people that he knew it was his responsibility to protect and guide. He was more concerned about Jake, about Brittany, about Brittany's mom, about his uncle. Hell he was even worried about Mark. He would not be okay with himself if he allowed anything to happen to those people. He needed to let them be safe..he had to make sure that they were safe. No matter what it took him, he had to ensure that those people were safe and protected. And so he looked at the plan, analyzed what they had planned to do and finally, looked at the lives that were prepared to sacrifice themselves just to keep him safe.He did not take any of them for granted but he had also wished that at least he had some sort of superpowers to actually keep them safe and protect them against all harm. Since he did not, he would just have
"What took you so long?" The girl asked as she saw the person she was waiting for finally approaching her table. "I'm sorry about that. It was a bit difficult coming finding a way to leave the house. Had to leave without anyone knowing," she responded and took a seat. "But why are you sneaking out of the house? What's going on?" The girl took a long sigh. "Well, the boys are hatching up some terrible plan and I think that if I don't help them fix it, then they will be getting themselves into more trouble than they can get out of." "What kind of trouble though?" She asked and the girl went mute. "Brittany, I asked you a question," she nudged, making her spark back to life. "I know. I wasn't deaf when you asked it." "Well, you haven't given me an answer so maybe you were." "Look, I can't really tell you what the boys are doing but they are doing something stupid." "If you can't tell me what it is they are doing, how do you expect me to help you out?" "Because it's you. C
"What are you doing here?" Jake asked as soon as he reached their table. "Oh," Brittany chuckled. "I just came out to meet my friend. You know it has been such a long time since I last met her and I just wanted to catch up since I learnt that she was in town." "Wow. That's really great. So how about you introduce me to your very beautiful friend," Jake said with a grin on his face, making Brittany to sigh. "Oh, I wouldn't get any ideas if I were you. You see, she is already taken. Yeah, she is married. Which is why she doesn't stay around." "Oh I have been recently divorced," Sasha said, standing up. "Hi. I'm Sasha," she extended her hand to Jake to shake and that smile that Brittany hated so much was still plastered on her face. "I'm Jake and it is a pleasure to meet you," Jake said with his eyes fixed on her. Brittany could tell that he was already falling for her tricks and he could not allow that to happen. "What? How could I didn't know about this?" Brittany said, trying t
"Jake, you are back." The rising of the sun still met Jake coming back home. Levi was surprised that he was actually back on time. Normally, he was the type who like to stay out till late. According to him, he enjoy the outside view better than the inside but he was so jealous that he did not like to share it would people. Which was why he was still single. "Yeah, I knew this was important so I decided to come back early.""Well, I just say that I am happy about that. Here, come in now. We need to go over what we will be doing. Let me go wake Brittany." "Oh she is back already?" Jake asked. "Yeah. She is." "That's nice. I was actually thinking that she may want to stay with her friend for a while longer but I guess not," Jake commented. "You met her friend," Levi asked. "Yeah. She is a really nice girl. Its so sad that she just got divorced though." "Really? Well that's interesting. She did not mention that you ran into her." "Oh, maybe she was just so tired to do so. Why not
"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
