"What did you just say?" Dustin asked surprised at his words. "Yeah, what did you just say?" Brittany asked as well. She did not know much about Dustin but the little that she knew from what Levi used to say, she understood that he was a huge pain in her ass and he was the kind of person that he would never want to work with. So why would he want to give him a job? "I don't understand what's going on!" She said. "Well, it's because of me that Dustin here isn't working and it's obvious that he desperately needs a job. If he didn't, he would not have to go about doing all these things." "Exactly. If he can be as terrible as trying to kill me, then you really think when he gets into your company he won't try to hurt you? Levi have you even thought about what you are planning on doing?" Brittany asked. "Well you see, that's the problem. You think I am going to employ him to work for me but I won't." "You won't?!" Dustin asked. He was already dreaming of how amazing he would be to be
"Good, now please leave. I don't want to have to pour out anything like frustration on you." "When should I expect the letter from you? The letter of appointment for the job?" He added when he saw the look of confusion on Levi's face. "I will forward it to your email after I have spoken with the person involved. Now if you don't mind, I will love it if you could please leave." "He can't actually leave unless you expect him to crawl out of here," Brittany added. "Well that won't be a bad sight to behold," Sasha said with folded arms and a huge smile on her face. "Okay. That's right. Miss," Levi drew Sasha's attention "I don't know if you would be okay with helping him out till he get a bus or an ambulance or something?" Immediately, Sasha gasped. "Of course I would mind. Do you really expect me to pick up this thing and actually make him go outside? Now that is beyond me!" "Okay, Sasha just do it , okay? Look, Levi can't take him outside. He is bleeding, as a result of you shoot
"Why are you so shocked?" Levi asked. "Well maybe because I never imagined you being okay with it! I thought it would be something that you would scorn on and scold me for doing!" "Let me get this straight. You actually think that I would scold you for looking after me and trying to keep me from harm? Why would you think that?" "You made it look like it was only your job to ensure that we were protected. I actually never believed that you would be okay with someone else trying to protect you. Seemed like you would get upset because it would be a sort of me stepping on your right as a man and that would hurt your ego.""What? No, listen I am not upset with you at all. As a matter of fact I am very excited for this. Listen, I have a lot of things that are actually bothering me this period and I know that I may have taken some of the pressure out on how I was planning this but what you did is a wonderful thing and I don't think you should feel sad about it. I really do appreciate this
"Levi!" Brittany stuttered and begun moving backward. She had not expected to see him at the parking lot. She believed that he was long gone by now. And she most especially did not expect to see him with that little brat he called a friend. "Are you threatening my friends?" Levi asked her with a clear voice. "Umm, what? No, of course I am not!" She lied. She did not know why she lied. After all, she hated Levi. She could not care about whatever he thought at all but she could not help herself. She just couldn't bring herself to tell him the truth. "Okay, so that means that you did not just tell him that his entire family is in danger because he refuses to side with you?" "And so what if I did?" She answered back and Levi finally saw the girl he knew and hated so much come alive. "Listen I am not here for games. Yes, I have a group of men waiting at his parents doorpost. They are so ready to kill them and get everything over with. All I have to do is make one phone call." "Okay,
"And what exactly do you think you are doing?" Levi asked her as he saw her pull out her phone "Oh, I am about to make a call that will leave all of you shattered. Since you believe that you can actually allow this tramp to talk to me anyhow she wants to and I won't say a word, then I have to show you that I am not the kind of woman people talk to anyhow. I will teach you people how to respect me if you don't want to learn on your own." "You are so stupid," Brittany told her. "People are not taught how to respect someone. Have you never heard the saying that "respect is reciprocal?!" Of course, how can you have heard it?! I am sure your time spent in school was wasted following everything that wore a trousers looking for where you can sip money that you did not work for from." "You talk a big game now but when you spend the next hours crying and comforting your dear friend here, don't say I did not warn you," Susan threatened. "Now for the very last time Jake, are you going to join
"What?" Susan said in disbelief. She could not, would not allow herself to believe what she was hearing.How could he be dead? She was sure that he plan was perfect. No one knew anything about it. There was no one watching out for them over there. Maybe it was a network problem. Because Byron cannot be dead. Byron had to be alive. He had to have killed all of Jake's family. That was the plan. That was the way it was supposed to play out. Frustrated, she ran her hand through her hair as she ended the call and resumed trying to call him back. "Byron, pick your fucking call. If you don't, I assure you I will not hesitate to fire your stupid ass." "You can't fire someone that is dead, darling," Brittany said to her, not minding the tears that were in her eyes. She was sure the woman was only crying because her stupid plan did not work out and now she would have to endure the life of being wrong and being alone. "What the hell did you do to him?" She charged at Levi when she realized
"You can't do this to me!" Susan protested. She wanted to be angry, she wanted to be livid, she wanted to shout but she had tears in her eyes and they were falling to the ground. She hated it so much that they got to see her in tears. It was supposed to be the other way around. She was the one supposed to see them in tears. She was supposed to be laughing and having a good time whenever she remembered how they cried and begged her. And now that won't be the memory she had. She had to do something to stop them. She had to think of a plan but her brain couldn't think. All it could do was continuously remind her that she had lost and she was going to pay for everything she had ever done. She knew Levi well. She knew when the man was angry and when he wanted revenge. She could clearly see from his face that he wanted revenge and he was not one to stop unless he got something. immediately she got scared for her life. "I believe I did not suttuter the first few times but because I am a
"You can't do this to me! You can't do anything to me! I will not allow you to succeed in this evil act of yours." She protested. "Well, unfortunately you don't have a choice. Jake," Levi called out. "Yeah," Jake responded almost immediately. "Please call Mark to come with his guys and take this bastard away from here." "You know it is so bold of you to think that I will actually allow you to get rid of me so easily. Well I have news for you right now, I will not be going down like that. I will fight you with everything in me." Brittany was surprised how she still had the mouth to talk. She had been caught red handed. The was a lot of evidence against it. It was so obvious that she will be rotting in jail and yet somehow, the girl still believed that she would be able to get out of it. Did she not understand how badly the situation she had found herself in was? Did she not understand that she was so close to actually ruining her own life? Did she not understand that her life as s
"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
