"Do you know what they are up to?" Levi asked sternly. He was slowly getting tired of Jayden and his assumptions. He never knew anything for sure. He never had solid evidence to anything he spoke of which made Levi wonder how he survived in the force for so long. "We have no idea for now sir but we are keeping a lookout for them and I thought it would be wise to tell you. Now, please keep it in mind that I am not trying to scare you or anything. I just think that you should probably know this." "And why would this information be of help to me?" Levi asked. "Well it will help you be on the lookout." "Well, Mr Jayden, you see you did not have to bother yourself and tell me that. I already knew that they were released. I already knew that they would be coming after me and I have already put in the necessary precautions to ensure that I am being kept safe. All I need you to do for me is to catch those hooligans as fast as you can and throw them back to jail before they do something st
"You guys want to have a what?" Levi asked, unable to understand why they would want to organize another party, there y exposing him to all kind of hurt. "A party, a welcome back party for you to the company." Brittany said again. They were sitted in his palour with Jake changing the channels every five seconds, trying to find a channel that he absolutely loved. "Why do you want to do that? Do you not understand what you will be doing?" He asked. "Well, I understand that we will be welcoming you back. Listen, babe you haven't been in that office for a very long time I am sure they all miss you and I am sure that they are more than excited to have you back." "That is not the point. The point is that a party exposes is to a lot of things. It doesn't matter how much you think it's gonna be private. It always turns out to not be private. Come on, you know how this works already. So many things are at risk right now and this is not something we can risk." "I don't understand what you
"Hello my love," the text message read. "Love?" Levi thought to himself. "Who the hell is calling me love?" "Who is this?" He responded to the message and sat up to get his reply as he noticed that the person was typing."Pick a wild guess," she said or at least Levi believed she was a he. It would be so terrible if it turned out to be a guy. "Look, I don't have the time to guess. Either you tell me who you are or you stop texting me." Levi sent back to her. "No, I won't. Come on baby, where your fun Spirit? Just try and guess who you are talking to." The woman sent another message. By now, Levi had grown tired and exhausted of the conversation. He knew very well that such conversation would not lead him anyway good and so he sent his last message. "Listen here, who ever you are. I don't know you and I will not try to guess who this is. So when you are ready to talk and tell me who you are and what you want, let me know. Goodbye." And then he hit sent. Immediately he was done, h
Levi arrived at the venue just in time to look around. "Should I inspect it first, sir?" Mark asked when he saw him looking around the building trying to find anything out of place. "Yes, I got a strange message and I am not so sure about this place. It would be best if you investigate and tell me more about it before I start going in." Levi said, happy that Mark was very observant. "Of course sir. Please stay in the car. I will be back shortly," he said and left the car.Levi did not need to be total twice. He sat in the car and waited for Mark. He looked at the time on his screen. 7:05pm.It was the exact time the woman had told him to meet. He wondered why she would chose a diner that probably won't be serving for them to meet. Maybe she wasn't after a very fancy meeting. But he still couldn't wash away the feeling of knowing the girl from somewhere. He still couldn't stop thinking about why her voice sounded so familiar. As he sat in the car, he heard his phone ringing. Thin
"Ivy!" He almost screamed. He could not believe that she was back in town. "Hello, Levi." She said with a smile on her face. Something about her had changed. She no longer looked shy and scared. She was now brave and bold. "Oh my goodness," Levi said and finally sat down. "The last time I saw you, you were thinking about leaving town. I heard you left but I did not know when you got back." "Well, if you must know. I came back few days ago. I did not actually want call you up because I heard that you had an auction event to attend. So I told myself after the event, I would meet up with you." "My goodness!" Levi exclaimed. "Where exactly did you go to?" He asked. "Umm, Eygpt." She said beaming. "Well Eygpt obviously agrees with you. Just look at you looking dazzling beautiful. You are radiating." "Well, thank you very much." She said, not hiding her blush. "I must say that I think it's amazing that you think all these wonderful things about me because now that I am back, I am t
Ivy sat still and watched as he made his call. He waited till he was done but inside her, she was boiling in anger. How could he be talking to another woman when she was right there? When did he even get a woman? She wasn't gone for that long and he had the audacity to get a new person in his life. He had to be kidding. Whoever she was, she would have to leave because she was back and she wasn't going to take no as a answer from him. Tapping her foot against the floor, she waited for him to be done. Maybe she could understand it if he had a fling. If he was just using the girl to pass time till she came back but to call the bitch his woman in front of her, that was something she was not going to take from him. It had become a very serious matter and he was going to ensure that he got rid of the woman. "Is there a reason you are staring at me like that?" Levi asked when he ended the call and could see Ivy looking at him like he broke her heart and scattered it around town. "I am s
"Are you threatening me?" He asked. "No. I am just saying that in life one can't be too sure of what the other wants to do. Which is why you need to be able adjust to any situation you may find yourself in." "What the actual hell are you going on about?" Levi asked. "Well, all I am trying to say really is that you stand a risk of losing something very important if you don't invite her to meet me." Levi laughed, looked down at his shirt and wiped off the dirt that had somehow flown to his side away from his body. "Ivy, I don't like people threatening me. I don't take it lightly with people who do that. Especially when you threaten my woman as well." "Well, you would think that I actually care about that but as it turns out, I don't and I did not actually threaten you..I just that I wanted to remind you that I can actually get whatever I want at anytime. Including information about your precious woman, so why don't you just spare me the stress that is involved in doing that and ju
"Ivy!" He almost screamed. He could not believe that she was back in town. "Hello, Levi." She said with a smile on her face. Something about her had changed. She no longer looked shy and scared. She was now brave and bold. "Oh my goodness," Levi said and finally sat down. "The last time I saw you, you were thinking about leaving town. I heard you left but I did not know when you got back." "Well, if you must know. I came back few days ago. I did not actually want call you up because I heard that you had an auction event to attend.

"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
