The saleswoman blinked twice. Her brain tried to understand what was going on. She couldn't fathom how a man as Levi could be talking to her in such a rude way. She took a moment to look at his dressing again. From head to toe, he was dressed in what she could only consider as rags and he had the guts to stand in front of her and tell her how to do her job. She had never been more insulted in her life!"What did you just say to me?" She asked angrily. "You heard exactly what I asked you. Is this how you guys treat your costumers?" "Well no but then again judging from your cheap and no fashion sense dressing, I can easily tell that you are not one of our costumers. So before I call security, please just get out." Something about standing up for the mall she worked in, defending it's integrity made the woman happy. She couldn't stop the smile that crept up her face when she realized that she was actually doing a real task. Levi hated it with everything he had. It reminded him of t
Brittany had seen Levi during a lot of his mood. But something about seeing him whenever he was angry always made an evil smile to creep up her face. She had always believed that she wasn't the saint she had made herself out to be. She believed that truly, she was worse than people wanted to believe. She had a dark mind and she dreamt of doing things to people that would make them not to insult her. One of the people she always targeted was her neighbour and the mother. She would have given decent money to watch the be humiliated. She craved to do the work herself. It would be so satisfying to watch but it would have been more satisfying if she was the one that got to do it. They had the perfect way of upsetting her at every turn. The perfect way of making her wish them dead. And her sadness came from her not ever knowing how to defend herself. She lived that life through Levi. She loved watching him take action and ruin the lives of people that dared talk to him rudely. He did it
"Young man, you don't come in here and tell me what to do. I owned this mall," Elijah said with a tint of arrogance that got Levi upset. "What did you just say to me?" He asked. Daring him to repeat what he had just said. He had the same eyes he always had when he was threatening someone. They were narrowed and from where Brittany always stood, something about them appeared more grey. Brittany wished she had a popcorn with her to enjoy it with all the drama going on. It was a fun sight to behold. She loved to watch how badly Levi wanted to punish them and she was eager to see how he would do it. "You heard exactly what I just said," he stood his ground. "Did you just say that this is your mall? Oh no! I have had enough of this." Angrily, Levi pulled out his phone and placed a call. He could take their humiliation. He could take them insulting him and calling him all sorts of names but the one thing he would not take is a brat with no idea how his uncle suffered to build the empir
"We are so sorry, sir!" James said, having no other choice but to apologize for his reckless actions. "Mr. James, I believe I didn't ask you for an apology. Now help me understand exactly what is going on here before I lose it. Did you not train these people at all?" "We did. We gave them all the training there is to acquire," James said, trying to defend himself and all he stands for at all cost. He had heard about Levi. He knew how ruthless the young man was. Even if he wasn't that ruthless, he knew that the man would follow after the footsteps of his uncle Gilead. If not why else would the man hire him to be his successor. What he didn't hear was how strategic he was when he felt pushed to he wall. And Levi was pushed by so many factors. He had been embarrassed in front of Brittany before but something about him being embarrassed in a store that was clearly his after he had brought her there just to convince her of his true identity left him very upset. He wanted to get his rev
"Bri," Levi moved sluggishly towards her. He crawled, ignoring the pain that coursed through his body as he took a step. "Bri, wake up!" His heart was beating faster than he could count. He could hear the thumping rhythm. He needed desperately for her to be okay. They had just begun a new friendship, he couldn't lose her after telling her everything about himself. He couldn't lose her... He just couldn't lose her. "Brittany, wake up!" He shouted when he finally got close to her. But before he could touch her, he was dragged back by a pair of strong hands. "Let me go!" He kicked and thrashed, not knowing who was coming to get him. "Sir, calm down. It's me, Mark," from the voice, he could tell who it was. Immediately, he sprang his head to look at his bodyguard. He could not understand how the man always showed up whenever he was in trouble but he could tell that he was very excited. "Mark, you need to save her. She isn't breathing," Levi said once he was fully out of the car
Levi waved at Mark once he was able to site him. He sat across a table for two and Levi couldn't help but wonder why he wasn't waiting at the bar. "Hey, why are we sitting here?" He asked. "Well, I just figured you'd be more comfortable here than at the bar."Levi pulled out a seat and sat. He was tempted to ask why he would say that, but he shrugged it off immediately the feeling came. "So what are we drinking?" He asked, raising the bottle that stayed on the table. "Umm, beer. Do you like that?" "Yeah, it's good." "How is your friend?" Mark asked as he took a sip of the drink. He didn't bother to pour it into mug. The feel of the bottle on his lips gave him a strange feeling. "Oh she is good. The doctor said she is going to be fine. She just needs to be under close monitoring but she just has some skin injuries.""Oh I'm glad to know that she will be fine," Mark said and meant it. He could see that Levi cared deeply for the young woman and it would be a sad thing to see her
Levi and Mark turn to see what the noise is about. "I think it's coming from outside," Mark said after a while of searching to see what happened. Immediately, he stood up and yanked his belt to the front. "Sir, get behind me. I need to get you out of here right now!" He said and pulled out his gun, holding it ever so slightly to avoid it being noticed. The noise caused a state of disarray in the bar yet no one knew exactly where it was coming from or what caused it. Mark took slow steps towards the door, scanning the room as he went. He walked slowly with Levi behind him till he got outside. "Where did you park?" Mark asked Levi once they got outside. "Have you forgotten that my car was bashed? Plus, I think I have found the source of the noise," Levi said pointing at a car that laid waste on the road. Mark placed his gun back into his trousers and walked with Levi to the scene of the crime. It was a black toyato. It looked exactly like the car Levi drove and the car was hit
Shivers ran down Levi's spine as he stared at the message. He wasn't worried for himself, he was worried for Brittany. The culprit knew where he was and they had access to his phone, it was only a matter of time before they get to find out about Brittany.If they hadn't already."Driver, go faster!" He yelled at the Uber driver. "Sir, I know this can be disturbing but I don't want you to worry about this. I am here to protect you." Levi could hear words coming out of Mark's lips but he didn't bother to know what they were. All he cared about was getting to Brittany and ensuring that she is safe. "Can you please stop talking?" He said when he kept mumbling words. "I need you to calm down, sir. This is all under control!" "No it's not. Don't you get it?! I am not worried about myself here. I am worried about a poor innocent girl that will be caught in the middle of all these simply because of me. She doesn't deserve this and I need to ensure that she doesn't get hurt." "I highly
