The dark room that the man dressed in a black suit walked in was crowded with men who couldn't stop chattering away. They almost didn't recognize his presence.Almost."Quite," the man heard a voice ring out. Someone had spotted him. How could they not? He was the reason they were gathered. He was the reason they all left their jobs to be in the dark room they used in discussing private matters."Have a seat. All of you." It wasn't a request. It was a command. Mr. Roberto was known for not treating his subordinates with any respect or dignity. He was the one man that didn't care about his subordinates feelings. All he needed was for the job to be done whenever he needed it to be done. "We need to begin our discussion for today." He said with a tone of finality. "If I may ask, where are the assassins we sent to get rid of that boy. I need to hear from them how they were able to not complete the job and still not reach out to me. After the humiliation that we faced at that site, I am
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
