Levi did not like how comfortable Angus was getting with him. He felt like the man had something up his sleeves. Something mischievous, if he was very correct and nothing about it sounded even remotely nice to him. "Now, if you don't mind dear friend. I am going to find my way back to my seat. You have a swell time now," he said with a smile and left the room. Immediately, he left, Levi sighed. "Can you believe this guy?" He said to Steven. "Yeah, he must be crazy if he thinks he is going to get you to be friends with him," Steven added. "It's not just that. He actually believes that we can be friends and I know that he means something else by that." "How do you mean?" He asked "Well, let's not be deceived here. Of course he wants something else. That man is trying to threaten me and I won't allow him to do that without any damages." "Or could it be that he just wants to be friends with you?" Levi turned abruptly to face him. "Have you not been listening to me say that this m
"It's weird if you keep looking at her like that," Steven said, drawing Levi's attention to the deep gaze he had on her. "I know," Levi snapped out of it. "I just can't get this feeling that she is up to something off my back. It really feels like she is up to no good, can't you feel it?" "No," Steven chuckled. "But I can feel the different pair of eyes that are on you right now," he stifled a laugh while trying to look straight. Immediately, Levi looked around and he saw the faces that were staring intently at him. He could understand why he was suddenly the center of attention. He invited half of the people in the room and he was becoming oddly famous in town, no wonder everyone wanted to get to know his gist. Slowly he kept his face straight and tried to push to the back of his mind, whatever it was that Brittany was doing. Placing his focus on the moderator, he heard the young man say "...sold to the fine gentleman in the third row to on the back. Trust me, you are going to m
The smile on Levi's face was evident. He couldn't believe that his devious plan actually worked. He was expecting Angus to have caught up with his twisted plan by then. But the fool had played right into his trick and all he had to do now was sit back and win the next land without any stress. Life couldn't get better!Angus couldn't stop sneering in Levi's direction. The boy was small but he had a cunny mind. He has met an opposition like him before and he wasn't afraid to play dirty. "We can take solace in the fact that we have one land, at least," Susan said, trying to make lemons from lemonade. Even when she knew very well that it would only spur him on to want more. "We are not taking solace in such disgusting fact. I came here to win and embarrass that boy and I will do just that." "How do you plan on doing that? We don't have enough money to go up against him and I am sure he still has tons packed in his account for this. How will you possibly win?" Susan knew he had a stack
Levi almost gasped when he heard the amount being placed on the land. He turned to look at the moderator and he saw a smile on his face. He knew that the land was less expensive than they were bidding but his excessive need to win did not allow him to stop bidding with Angus . He kept the battle up, desperate to be declared the winner after everything. Levi immediately marked his face. He would have to dismiss him as soon as the auction was over. The one thing he did not like in his staff was greed and it was obvious that this man was full of it. "Do you know that guy's name?" Levi asked Steven. "No, but I do know that he will be getting his sack letter this week." Levi, hearing what Steven said, turned rapidly to Steven. He saw nothing but anger in the guy's eyes and he remembered why he loved him so much. He had the same mindset as him and hated the same things he did. That was why they were able to work together so well. He knew he could trust him because he wanted the same thin
Levi could not clearly see the man because his eyes were fixated at the pictures of the land as they were being showed. But Steven who scanned the room, could see the man clearly. He had on a white suit and his eyes widen when he saw the huge interest Levi had on the land. "I think you might have some competition over there," Steven said and drew Levi's attention to the man. "What are you talking...?" Levi said as he turned and his words got stuck in his throat when he saw the man that Steven was pointing at. "That's an odd looking man right there," he said. "Uh huh. And the smile on his face is more creepy," Steven added. "Well, I'm sure we don't have anything to worry about. After all, he may just be interested because of the size of the land." "Don't be delusional. Everyone knows the truth about this land, no one will be interested in it. He is only interested because you are. You have made a name for yourself here." "I don't want to believe that. Look, just allow me to do
"What?" Nothing made Levi happier than seeing the look of shock on Angus's face. He did not believe what he had just heard."That's a big fat lie. There is no way that land has been issued to the public by the government," he resorted. Angus had done his research, he was very much aware of all that was going on in the real estate industry. So how could he have missed something so important? Lost in his anger and shock, he did not notice the look of astonishment on Susan's face. She could not believe that Levi could actually pull it off. Maybe Angus had not lost all his money but he had lost 80% of it. All she had to do now was to deliver the final blow that would make him angry and start a fight. That way, she would be able to get the police who flooded the event to arrest him for assualt. After that, she would have easy access to all his illegal documents, put him away for good and finally be able to stay with Andy, the one she really loved. Lost in her thoughts, Levi's voice broug
Before Angus could perfect his plans, a couple of girls walked in front of him. "Fuck" Susan said when she saw what had happened. She was expecting that this would be the break that she wanted. She desperately needed to get through with her plans and allow Angus do the stupid thing that would lead to his death. "Go," she said to Andy who moved speedily to the scene and dragged the girls away, giving Angus the space he needed to approach Levi. "Levi, look out!" Brittany yelled as she saw Angus heading towards him with something she did not consider as a smile on his face. Immediately Brittany shouted, Levi turned around and saw the man advancing towards him with so much anger burning in his eyes. He did not need to see the knife to know that he had evil intent in his heart. "What the?!" Levi exclaimed when he saw the knife slowly come out of his back pocket. The gasp of the whole room almost weakened him but before he could say anything, Mark rushed to his front and tackled Angus
Levi walked out of the hall with Jake, his eyes scattered around his environment as he searched for Brittany. He could not see her and the more he searched, the more his heart broke. Did something happen to her? Why was she not there?"Where the hell is she?! You told me she went outside!" He charged at Jake."I told you that she is by the car or inside of it. We parked at the parking lot. Do you want to go there or do you still want to walk around here being frantic?" Levi did not wait to answer him. Of course he did not understand how he was feeling. How could he when he had never had someone to care for in this manner? Levi did not blame him for one minute. He walked. No, ran down to the parking lot. Desperate to see the woman he loved and ensure that everything was okay with her."He doesn't take sarcasm well when it comes to her, does he?" Steven asked Jake as they walked slowly behind him. "No, he doesn't. I have been his best friend for years and I can tell you that I have
"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
