"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
"And who is asking?" Sasha asked. "Umm," the woman threw a glance at Sasha and the hatred in her eyes washed away. It came back immediately she looked at Brittany. "I'm yet to get an answer to my question." The woman asked. "And we are yet to get an answer to ours as well." Sasha said back. "My name is Ivy." The woman said produly as if expecting the two women to know her or something. She spoke with so much vigor and expection, wanting to be known as the best. "And why are you standng in front of us? Do we owe you anything?" Sasha took the position of Brittany's spoke woman, ready to defend her at every possible turn. "You must think that I am mad," Ivy turned to Sasha and said. "I will not be answering any questions of yours without you giving an answer to mine as well. After all, I asked first." "Okay, you listen here young woman. We were on our own, minding our freaking business when you decided to come over here and start talking to us. If anything, we deserve an answer mo
Brittany was livid. She could take everything the woman said but she would not take her saying that she used charms on Levi. She did nothing of the sort and she would not be accused of something she didn't do. "Are you fucking kidding me right now?! Did you just say that I used charms on a grown ass man?" "Hey people still do it. Why can't you be one of those people?!" "Because I am not pathetic as they are. Maybe they may need some charms and powers to get a man to love them but I don't. I am not a piece of trash. So if you really want to know how I got Levi to fall in love with me, I will tell you. I was my normal self. Hell, yeah that's right. I didn't act like his girlfriend or pretend to be someone I am not. I was my real self and along the line, he fell in love with me. That is not my fucking fault and if you have such a big problem with it, then you can take it up by yourself and lock yourself up for all I care." Immediately Brittany finished her sentence, Ivy landed a huge
"Well, hello there kind sir. It's been a while since I last saw you." Ivy did not know exactly who the man was but she needed the man to be on her side, it would ease the whole process of her getting what she wanted and getting Brittany kicked out of the hotel. She had an edge and she wasn't going to through it away. "Well I can say the same thing about you as well." The man's voice was as cherry as ever. "Tell me, when did you get back?" "Oh a couple of days ago. It's not up to a week now." "Oh and you decided to come eat at our restaurant," he gasped and placed his hand on his chest. "I must say that we are very lucky to have you here with us." "Well, what can I say. I love this place. your services are always the best." "Well, we try to make everyone feel special. Please tell me that you are staying here for a long time. You won't be traveling out again, right?" "Oh well if you keep feeding me with the best foods as you did today, I just might stay," she teased. "Ah, the
The manager should have known that Brittany was not the type of woman to be threatened when she did not back down but somehow, he wanted to prove to Ivy that he can hold it down. He wanted so badly to make the woman happy that he became blinded to all the pointers that kept coming his way. "Listen you don't threaten me in my own restaurant!" The manager shouted."Last time I checked, it wasn't your restaurant. You are only the manager here. You are not the owner." Brittany reminded him. "I have enough power to get rid of you if I can. I have enough power to ensure that you never eat here again. As a matter of fact, I have enough power to ensure that you get arrested for this. So don't you think for one second that I am scared of you. Now get on your knees and apologize to my customer." Brittany scoffed, took slow steps towards the man and whispered in his ears. "No." And then she took a few steps back. "Did you just say no to me?" "Yes. And now I am waiting for you to call the fu
"Well, what are you waiting for?! Call the fucking cops at once?!" Ivy yelled at him from the back. She did not think that they would actually get away with it, especially when Levi decided to include himself but if the was a possibility of them actually getting away with it, she was going to grab onto it with everything. "My boss is calling me," the manager said and turned to look at Ivy with a sober look on is face. But unfortunately, his boss wasn't around to see his face and could not take any decision based on his looks. "Why the hell is the man calling you?" Ivy asked. "I don't know." Felix answered with fear laced in his voice. Brittany looked at him and could not help but smile at how ridiculous the man looked. He should have known better than to mess with her. Maybe after this, he would think twice before talking to people anyhow he wants to. Before the man could pick the call, the call had already ended. "Fuck," he screamed out, much to Brittany's amusement. "What the
"So tell me then?" The boss asked. "Which is it going to be because right now I can promise you that you are certainly getting on the last of my nerves." Immediately, the manager fell on his knees. He needed the job more than anything else. He needed it so badly. He had a family of two and he was the only one that had any sort of work and brought in any income to the house. He could not afford his two daughters staying out of school because of a silly mistake that he made. He had to ensure that the man forgave him at all cost. "Sir, please. You can't take this job away from me. It's my life. I can't do without it. I need this job so badly. Please." "Young man, you are not to be apolozing to me. You are supposed to be apolozing to the girl that you did this nonsense to. Now go on before I change my mind and decide to fire you either way." "Sir please," the man continued begging. He knew that even if he apolozied the was no way he would get someone like Ivy to apologize. So whatever
"Sir, please I am begging you." "And how many times have I told you to stop fucking begging me?! The person you should be begging is standing right in front of you. You will do everything that she wants. So if you know what is best for you, I will advise you start apologizing rather than waiting for me to do what I want to." Sluggishly, he turned to look at her, wondering how he could reduce himself to actually apologize to someone like her. How did she get someone like Levi Strauss to actually do her bidding? That was what he wanted to know more than anything but he also knew that the worse thing he could do was to upset her. That would only make matters worse for him and he needed her to forgive him. Maybe if she did, she could talk to his boss to forget about firing him. "Ma, I am terribly sorry for what I did and said to you. I promise you that it will never happen again." "What makes you think that what you just said is going to get her to forgive you? If I remember correctly
"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
