"Ruth, I am talking to you and you need to take this seriously because I am not joking. You are not to do anything till I confirm from Natalie what exactly is going on and even after that, you are still not to do anything. Your actions may raise suspicions around us very soon and I don't want that on my plate. Do you understand?""I do but I hope you also understand that very soon, all these will have to be placed aside. We don't have the luxury of time right now and the more you keep thinking that we do, the more we run out of it." The girl they had called Ruth said. "We will do things when I want us to do them and only then. If you try to do anything behind my back, you all face the consequences of it alone because to God who made me, I will deny you." The place went mute, as if Ruth was actually looking at them with so much anger. She did not say a word. She just kept staring with anger in her eyes. She wanted to get rid of the poverty that loomed around them as well but she nee
"Okay, I was in the female bathroom and I overheard some things that I don't believe I was to overhear but I did and it's a bit scary but I believe that it's going to be of immense help to us." "What exactly are you talking about?" Steven asked. "Well I overheard some people talk about how they want to destroy Levi and this company.""What?!" Steven said startled and he adjusted on his seat. His ears were hearing what he was not sure he could believe. How could people in the company be planning the demise of Levi and the company? Was that not where they were eating from? If the information got to him from another person, he would not have believed a word the person said but it came from Brittany. He knew Brittany very well. He knew that the girl wants only what's best for Levi and because of that, she would never lie to him. But this news was as shocking as anything else. "Okay, look. Are you sure about this? This information is very sensitive." Steven asked to confirm. "Yes I am
She brought out her phone and did not understand why Steven eye did not widen with the type of glee that she wanted to see. "What is it?" She asked him. "Well help me to understand something now. Are you trying to say that your phone is the evidence you have to back up your claims?" "What? No. Not just my phone." She chuckled. "I have a recording of them doing the most despicable thing. I have a recording of their conversation.""Oh wow," the glee that she wanted to see was now very evident on his face. She could see him light up with excitement. "Yeah. I recorded half of their conversation. Trust me, what we have here is enough to pin them down for good." "So why can't we just use this to get them to confess?" "I said it before and I am saying it again. We don't hav full evidence. Those people names are not all here." "But their voices are. We can use their voices to get the information that we need. It will be like a piece of cake you know.""Look I hear you and you are right
"What?" Brittany asked startled by his presence. Levi walked calmly and took a seat in Steven office. He looked sternly at both of them, waiting for an answer to the question he asked and the more they remained mute, the angrier he got. "I believe that I am talking to people now, aren't I? So can someone please tell me what is going on here. What exactly are you people trying to hide from me?" He asked with a more urgent tone. "Okay, look we are not trying to hide anything from you. We were just..." "Now before you even finish that statement, let me just tell you that I know for a fact that you are lying. And trust me, I don't believe a word coming from your mouth right now." "How do you know for a fact that I am lying? I may just be telling the truth but you don't want to believe me because you have always had a problem with trusting me." "If you know what is best for you, I would advise that you stop lying to me then. Because the more you lie, the more I begin to not trust you
Brittany walked in to the hospital and immediately the smell of clean floor, mixed with drugs hit her hard. That was always the bitter sweet part of coming to see her mother. She hated the smell of hospitals. It always had a way of reminding her of the pain and suffering that she had been through for a long time. Nevertheless, she still needed to know how her mother was fairing. She hated leaving her alone for an extended period of time and it has been ages since she last checked up on the woman. She had to ensure that she was fine. She walked through the halls of the hospital, trying to see if she could remember any of the faces she was seeing. She couldn't but for some reason, she felt odd as she walked to her mother's room. "Ah, miss Brittany!" One of the nurses greeted her as she was walking out. She could not remember the nurse name because lots of nurses had attended to her mother when she was at the hospital but she did remember her face. "Nurse, good evening," she greeted
Brittany wasn't surprised. After all, her father had always been a pain in the ass before and the man was known for his most ridiculous lies. She already knew that sooner than later, the man would want to pull his "I am a man" card and bully them like he used to do in the past. She could tell that her mother was blinded and would do anything the man wanted because she still loved him, but Brittany had no iota of love for the man. She hated him more than she ever did before and she was going to make sure that she kicks the man out of their lives for ever. "Help me understand something. You come back into our lives to try and apologize and make things right with us and yet somehow, you end up commanding me and telling me what you are going to do?" "I am not telling you what I am going to do. I am only saying that I cannot leave this family when I just got back. I came back here to make things right with my family...""Well we don't fucking want you around. We don't want you to make an

"What?" Brittany asked startled by his presence. Levi walked calmly and took a seat in Steven office.

"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
