The auction was held in one of the most luxurious halls in the city. Name of the hall was a sight to behold. Beautiful and elegant with an ambience that could make anyone weak in their knees. Levi arrived in style and then he went into the hall without allowing anyone to sight him. "You know you can't hide forever, right?" Steven told him. "Of course I know that but then again, I have you to ensure that I almost do. Now." "Last time I checked, that wasn't amoimu.jin description so I am going to have to pass on that." "And I thought I had a good manager." Overtime, Levi had gotten close to Steven and he had begun to enjoy his company. He didn't wish for it to be any different. The first person Levi saw when he stepped foot into the hall was Micheal. He was dressed in what he couldn't define as a suit but a white garment that protrayed him as a British ruler. "Who's the one with the weird outfit?" Steven asked. "One I should try to avoid but unfortunately, I can't," Levi said an
"Well I really think you should stop judging a book by it's cover. It brings out no good thing," Michael said. "What are you talking about?" He asked."The same Levi Strauss that you depise so much is actually the president of Cosair Real Estate industry." McCall gasped. He couldn't believe what he had just heard. He was in the same room with the man that could change his life and he treated him with so much disdain. He couldn't help but think about how much he had messed up. "What do you mean he is the president?" Davina asked. She too could not believe the words she had heard."Do you know what the Corsair Real Estate industry is? Do you know that it is one of the...""Most prestigious real estate company in the world!" Michael helped her complete her sentence. "Yes, I am very much aware of that and I am telling you this instance that the company has been trusted to that man you walk around with." "That's posposterous." Davina still couldn't believe it. Levi didn't look rich. E
Duke's uncle looked very furious as he slapped Duke across his face. Duke tirned, terribly confused at what was going on. "Have you lost your stupid mind?! How dare you talk to Levi Strauss that way? How dare you insult him in that manner." His uncle kept saying. Duke did not understand what was happening. His uncle hated the poor. He never wanted to see them anywhere near him and now for some reason, he was being so caring towards Levi. Did he not know who the man really was? Did he not know that the bastard was just a low life brat trying to act like he had something?Duke saw right through Levi's act and he constantly wondered why no one else could. Why was it that no one believed him whenever he told them about how treacherous the man really was? Why did people somehow always pick his side?"Uncle..."Before Duke could even get a word in, his uncle raised his hand and stopped him. "Now you are going to apologize to Levi and you are going to do it well." Duke looked from his unc
Levi walked through a small crowd who stood amazed at what had happened. Everyone knew who Roberto was. Everyone knew that he was not the type of person one messess with but Levi had the audacity to talk to him in a very condescending manner. Everyone was eager to know who he truly was. "Who exactly is this guy?" Most of them asked, eager to make acquittance with the one person that could talk down to Roberto and he didn't move to do anything. "I know right. I also want to know who he is. I mean, for him to talk to a whole Roberto in that manner, then he must be someone very influential and very, very rich and dangerous." "But how come we have never heard of him. If he is all these, then we should have seen or heard about him at some point." The audience was in disarray. Everyone wanted to know more about Levi Strauss but no one did. They all couldn't still believe that he was the one talking. "So who the actual hell is this man?" They all asked."I know who he is." Finally someo
"Levi?" Davina called out, dumbfounded to see him. McCall did not give her any time to soak in what she saw, he held her hand and dragged her to the bar. "Levi, what are you doing here?" She asked again. Levi saw the look in her eyes and knew that she was having a difficult time accepting who he was. He wasn't deaf, he could hear the gossip that went about. He knew that almost everyone knew who he truly was."Well, I believe I am here because of the auction. You look beautiful by the way," he commented. "Thank you. Wait, are you telling me that it's true?""I'm afraid I don't know what you are talking about." "Well, everyone is saying that you are the president of Cosair Real Estate. Is that true?" "Yes. That's true." "Oh God," McCall gasped. "It's such a pleasure to meet you sir. I have looked forward to this day for ages," he took hold of Levi's hand and shaked rigoursly. "Wait a minute, how could you be the president? Last time I checked, you don't even have a car? How then
"We are done with jewelries. Now it's time we started bidding for lands. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a beautiful collection of land in amazing location today. We will start the first one with this land at the government road. Few years ago, it was rumoured that natural resources were gotten from this land and most people believe it till date.""Five hundred thousand dollars." "Do we have another price?" "One million dollars.""Five million dollars," Roberto said from the back and Levi smiled. "And so it begins." He said under his breath. "Ten million dollars!" Levi said and the crowd gasped. "Fifteen million dollars!" Roberto said. Levi couldn't help but notice the pattern he was trying to follow. He couldn't fully get how much the man came with but he knew the range to which he had. "Twenty million dollars," a man from the crowd said. Levi turned to look at who was speaking and he noticed a grey haired man staring back at him with so much contempt. He could tell that the man
The smile on Levi's face was evident. He couldn't believe that his devious plan actually worked. He was expecting Roberto to have caught up with his twisted plan by then. But the fool had played right into his trick and all he had to do now was sit back and win the next land without any stress. Life couldn't get better!Roberto couldn't stop sneering in Levi's direction. The boy was small but he had a cunny mind. He hadn't met an opposition like him before. He wasn't afraid to play dirty. "We can take solace in the fact that we have one land, at least," his assistant said, trying to make lemons from lemonade. "We are not taking solace in such disgusting fact. I came here to win and embarrass that boy and I will do just that." "How do you plan on doing that? We don't have enough money to go up against him and I am sure he still has tons packed in his account for this. How will you possibly win?" His assistant stroke a very good question. Roberto stared at the back hair of Levi thi
Levi almost gasped when he heard the amount being placed on the land. He turned to look at the moderator and he saw a smile on his face. He knew that the land was less expensive than they were bidding but his excessive need to win did not allow him to stop bidding with Roberto. He kept the battle up, desperate to be declared the winner after everything. "Five hundred million dollars!" Levi said. "Finally, we are getting started!" Roberto said, sounding very cocky. His statement brought a wave of fear to Levi. The man was just getting started. Maybe he was more deceptive than Levi has thought him out to be. "Six hundred million dollars!" Levi said and his face twisted. Roberto was more than pleased to see the look of worry plastered all over his face. It could only mean that he was getting ready to exhaust all his money. He was confident that Levi would not stop till he won. After all, his ego would never allow him to lose twice in a row. "What exactly am I doing?" Levi said to
"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
