The school environment had a way of making Levi feel like a normal person. Since he met his uncle, he had a lot of responsibilities and school always reminded him of a simpler time when he didn't have much. It also served as a reminder that he had to do all of the takes and put in the energy needed to ensure that he maintained the kind of life he was living. Levi walked causally into school, the blue Benz that was parked outside the school gate proved to him that something fishy was going on in school but it had never been in his place to worry about things that don't concern him. From the concern of his eyes,he could see a fine young man holding hands with a red haired girl and discussing. "Baby, please. Why won't you accept me? I have everything you need. I just want to give you the love you deserve. Please," the young man begged. "Listen Duke, I don't care about you and I never will. You are definitely not my time. So you have some cash but you and I know that you are not rich e
"I don't need your money," he said sharply and walked away. Levi knew that if he stood there for another second, he may be forced to do something that he will regret. He could not understand why the woman was hell bent on getting him upset. Davina watched confusingly at Levi as he walked away wondering what kind of person he was. He obviously did not have any money and he should have even been happy that she was offering him something. "Hmmm," she whispered to herself and finally concluded that Levi was properly trying to play hard ball and his ego didn't allow him to collect the money. Davina couldn't keep her eyes off Levi throughout the day. She wasn't totally sure what kind of person he was. She couldn't understand why he would reject money when he had nothing. Immediately the class was over, she rushed over to his table. She caught up with him when Levi was about to leave with Jake. "Hey, Levi, can I talk to you?" She asked when she was a bit close to him. She couldn't und
Levi stood at the school's gate, allowing the cool breeze to sooth his skin and play with his hands as he stood, waiting for Davina to arrive. He had told her to pick him up at the school gate. He couldn't risk allowing the woman to know where he lived or that he was more wealthy than anyone she had ever met. He didn't fully understand what she was up to but he knew that it was best to stay on a low before he would be regretting his actions. Few minutes later, he saw a car approaching. It was a Mercedes and he immediately knew that it was Davina. She didn't need to announce her presence through her voice. Her car spoke volumes. "Hey," Davina called out when she reached where Levi was staying. "Hey," "Isn't it cold out that?" She asked. "It's a bit chilly," Levi responded eager to know where she was going with all the questions. "Okay. How about you come in and get some warmth?" Maybe it was just Levi's ear but it sounded like she was flirting with him. Levi looked around, hopin
The disappearance of Levi did little to nothing to stop the party from going on. The guests were still dothing on every word Michael said. They enjoyed listening to him talk, they believed that it held so much wisdom. Michael had become very skilled at playing the game. He had managed to master the art of convincing people and making them eat out the palm of one's hand. It didn't take him much, neither was it so difficult. All he had to do was maintain the soft smile on his face and act like he was so fascinated by everything they said even if he did not care for it at all. "So Michael, how are you able to be this successful at such a young age?" One of his guest asked. Michael absolutely loathe social gatherings. The six feet tall and ebony haired man never believed that anyone could measure up to his skills. He didn't believe that anyone was as successful as he is. He did not even like talking or mingling with the masses but unfortunately, he had to organize the event. He had t
"He is not..." Because Davina could say anything she was rendered mute by the comments from the people. "Yes Davina. You can do much better than this piece of shit. What do you even see in him anyway? A man that has nothing to his name is nothing and should be treated as such.""He should not even be considered. You are a really stupid girl for being with him." "And you are dumb for bringing him here.""What did you think was going to happen?" "Did you think that we would see his stupid suit, which I can now clearly see is cheap, his disgusting face and everything around him and we will be impressed?" "Did you really think that he would be able to fit in to this crowd?" "Oh come on, Davina. His is nothing but a common nuisance and no matter no much you want him to fit into the elite society so that you won't feel so bad with talking to him, trust me, you won't." The guest had no mercy. They torn her down and brought her to shreds. Duke couldn't be more excited. He saw right thro
Michael couldn't understand the kind of person he was. He didn't seem to bow to anyone. He had a pride unlike any he had ever seen. Michael immediately took it upon himself to tame the wild lion. "You will give that toast, you low life bafoon." "You know, you guys talk a lot and insult me but you know I will never do what I don't want to." "That boy is just getting on my nerves," Michael said out loud while still sitting with Davina. "I think it's high time I teach him a lesson he will never forget." "Wait!" Davina held his arm as he was about to stand up. "Allow me to talk to him. I may be able to get through to him. Okay?" She pleaded. "Okay. But if you can't, I will make him regret coming to my party and insulting me," Michael said and Davina walked towards Levi. "Levi, you need to apologize to Michael right now," she shouted in a hushed tone. "What?" Levi was shocked. He couldn't believe that she was the same person telling him all these. "Look, I am saying this to protec
Michael rushed out as soon as he could to meet up with Levi but when he finally got outside, he couldn't sight him. "Levi," he called out while extending his head to probably get a view of where he was."Levi!" He shouted when he still couldn't get an answer."Why are you suddenly so nice to me? What changed?" Levi answered behind him. "Umm," Michael turned to lock eyes with him. He saw Levi leaning on the wall with his hands in his pocket and his face downward. He looked like a delectable specimen. "I don't believe that answers my question. And I am still waiting for the answer." "It's nothing much. I just figured that I should treat you as my guest with much respect than I was.""Come on now Michael. It's just the two of us here, you can afford to not lie to me. Now tell me the truth." Michael looked at him, unsure if he will be able to get what he wanted by actually telling the truth. He wanted to be in good terms with him. He knew what he would gain from a friendship with one
"If I may ask, who exactly is your lord's daughter?" Levi asked, puzzled. The man looked at him perplexed, he almost wanted to ask if he was such a whore that he couldn't remember who he has been with. "Davina McCall," instead he opted to give a straight answer and get the drama over with. "Davina is the person you are referring to?" Levi asked surprised. He didn't even have anything to do with Davina. He wondered how her father got to know about their little outing.Did she run to him and tell him all about it? He wouldn't be surprised if she did. She looked like the type that will behave in such a manner. "Okay, let's go meet your Lord then," Levi said. Whatever the case maybe, he was eager to get it over with. He sent a quick text to Jake telling him that he will be back much later and then he left. The drive to the man's house was a smooth one. Levi couldn't clearly see where they were going because the windows were totally black. "Does your lord use this car to move?" "No.
"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
