He could sense trouble coming his way. He pulled out his phone and sent a distress message to Mark. He knew that the man was somewhere around. He was always following him wherever he went, like a little fly that he couldn't get rid of but still, he had to be a hundred percent sure that the man was around in case they got attacked again. The man with the newspaper looked like a random person but with the recent happenings, Levi could not take anything for granted. Not even the fact that Davina somehow knew where he would be in the afternoon. He needed to get his facts straight to avoid endangering the lives of the people he loves. "Hello, good afternoon," Levi heard a light and tiny voice. It made him drop the menu. "Yes, we are not ready to order yet," he said and looked at Brittany. "Actually, I was sent here by my manager to tell you to kindly leave please. We don't offer services to people like you so if you could please leave."Brittany looked up at the woman. She wondered
Brittany's face flew to the side due to the impact. She wasn't outraged. Just shocked. The man actually had the audacity to lay his filthy hands on her. How was he able to own such a place when he had no respect for people?Baffled and yet angry, Brittany turned back to look at the man. She saw Levi's look of anger from her peripheral vision but what he was feeling was the least of her worries.She wanted her own thorn of flesh and she was going to get it. Levi looked at Brittany's face and it made him more angry. The small patches of redness that came as a result of the slap got his blood boiling. "Did you just slap her?" He said and turned slowly to the manager. "Oh yes I did. I don't know who raised her but since she does not want to have any manners, I feel like it is in my place to teach her some and if you don't respect yourself, you will get the same treatment," the man said proudly. Levi gripped his fist. He needed to do much more than take away this man's possession. He
"What exactly are you waiting for?" The manager shouted. "I told you that these two have been causing a lot of disturbance here. Can you please take them away so that I can finally have my peace of mind?" He ranted while the man looked at Levi again."I know you but I don't know how I do," the man said. "Allow me to jolt your memory then," Levi said and pulled out his phone. "What the hell are you still waiting for?!" The manager was outraged by their talk. "Get him out of here before I call your superior.""Stop making threats that you can't fulfil. Everyone can tell that you are bluffing," Brittany said with smut. She had grown tired of listening to him talk. "How dare you?" One of the waitress who never left her boss side during the fight finally spoke up. "Do you know who you are talking to?" "I will be mindful of the way I talk to her if I were you. You look like a pretty girl and I assure you, men love a woman who can provide for herself but if you keep talking to her lik
Levi walked slowly up to him. He circled him with a smile on his face and finally stood beside him. "You know, sir, there is a story that my mom used to love telling me about a little boy who did not know his place but was suddenly reduced to nothing because of his ignorance and pride. Since the day I heard that story, I promised myself to never be too full of myself. I told myself that I will never try to be more than I am. As a matter of fact, I promised myself that I will try to appear lesser than I am so as to not draw so much attention to myself.""I hope you know that you won't be able to tell if you are drawing good attention or bad. So I just choose to avoid it all together. I get that not everyone was raised like I was and not everyone can fully tell what kind of attention they should attract but what I don't get, and I am really hoping that you would help me, is what kind of a man beats up another girl?" Levi finished his speech and stood to watch him fumble. He had no ide
Immediately, the manger fell on his knees with his tears making contact with the floor. "Ah, sir please. Please don't do this to me. This business is all I have. And I have a family. We will all starve if you take this away from me. Please, I beg you, don't take this away from me. Away from my family." "I gave you an opportunity to save yourself and your family but you chose not to do my bidding. What then do you want from me?" "Please, I will apologize properly. Just please don't take this away from me." "It's too late Mr man. Even if I wanted to help you, this order came directly from the commissioner, so one way or the other, your little business is going to be shut down. The best you could do is just gladly hand over your key before they forcefully take it away from you." Levi gave him no more room for apologies. He was determined to make him suffer and that was exactly what was going to happen. The manager, seeing that Levi was a tough nut to crack fell on the floor at. Brit
Brittany could feel her chest beating. Never had she thought that she would actually hear him say it. She never knew how happy it would even make her to hear him say it. All she knew was that she was extremely happy to hear those words come out of his mouth and she wished more than anything that he would say more affectionate things like that to her. The manager looked between the two love birds and wished that one of them would just tell him that his restaurant was save. But that didn't happen, instead he watched as a bald headed man stepped outside suspiciously. He had noticed that man before. The last time he saw him, he was hiding behind a newspaper and ordered absolutely nothing. Surprisingly, the man was doing the exact same thing. For the life of him, he could not believe his eyes. He was baffled as to why the man was rarely in his restaurant but only came in with a newspaper. He kept his eyes low and observed from a distance, determined to know where the man was going t
Levi looked at the cars and saw men on black with guns he never knew existed driving towards them. "Get them out, now!" Mark screamed again and found cover behind an old car. "Can't we just use your car? It's faster!" Brittany suggested with a thumping heart. All she wanted was to get out and to safety. "On me!" The police man shouted as he formed a barricade with his men around Levi and Brittany. They moved speedily towards his car. "No!" Mark screamed when he saw their movement. "The tires are bursted!" He added when he saw the confused look on their faces. This gave the men just enough time to cock their gun and begin shooting. "Get him to cover!" Mark screamed again as he begun firing at the men on black. "We can't escape this." Brittany whispered and held her heart in her hands, scared for her very existence. "Get behind the car," the police man ordered his men and four of them moved led Levi to the back of the car. "We are not going to make it," Brittany said over the
Brittany did not know how they would get out of the mess the had somehow found themselves in but she knew one thing for sure. She had never felt such a rush in her life before. She watched as Mark pressed the pedal to the car and continued driving with so much speed. "We are not going to make it, are we?" She turned and asked Levi."Yes we are. I need you to stop thinking like that because it is really not helping," he added. "Can you shoot?" Mark shouted for Levi to hear. He needed the distraction and the best way to get it was to also distract them. It was the only thing that would save them. "No, but I bet the people driving behind them is already helping us do that," Levi said as he turned to look back and he saw the army of policemen driving behind them and shooting at the men on black. "We need to get out of the road and to a place of safety then," Mark suggested as he turned the car. "How do you plan on doing that?" Levi asked. "We need to find a deserted road," Mark spo
"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
