chapter.42"Where is Levi?" Leon asked Rejane as soon as he arrived with Luz by his side."He asked me to let you know that he's waiting for you in the office." Rejane said apprehensively."Alright, Luz, we'll talk later, okay?"Okay!" Luz confirmed, looking anxious, then he headed for the elevator."What's going on?" She asked Rejane as the elevator door closed."I don't know, just brother stuff. Have you eaten yet? You look a little beat, it's been a tiring day."Oh! Yes, I'm starving!" She followed Rejane to the kitchen.Leon went to the office where he found Levi lying thoughtfully on the small leather sofa, holding back a laugh when he saw his brother's swollen face."You should go to the doctor to fix that face, Scooby apparently caught you off guard." He commented indifferently."Oh, you know it was that possessive defender?" Levi protested skeptically."Obviously, you must have provoked him, you should have more sensitivity. After all, the things that happened to him were beca
chapter.43Leon went to his room and locked the door for the first time, even though he felt uncomfortable, it was better to do so.“Well, if he wants to continue with the contract I created until Luz falls in love with him, I'll give him the chance he wants. It's not like Luz has been fighting for me her whole life...” he thought indifferently.Levi, on the other hand, felt frustrated to know that all this time, Luz was married to him and was with his brother. At the same time, he felt happy. He never thought he would have her so easily, even if she didn't love him. He was determined to win her over. It was hard to contain his anxiety as he walked down the hallway to the couple's room. Leon had locked the door and was ignoring everything while reading in his bed. Luz was listening to music and lying in her room, obviously upset."Luz!" Levi entered, anxious, and fell into her arms. Luz looked at him with wide eyes and took off her earphones. "I just want to ask you one question," he
chapter.44"But as I said, you can have whatever you want, even a successful career. You don't have to follow the same path as everyone else. If you can skip steps, I can be your springboard, if you want," I said, smiling slyly."I already told you, I'm not with him for his money, and he already gives me everything. I don't need millions, he's done something that I could never pay for," she replied convincingly."Is it the same as when I saved your life? Is there anything he can do better than that?" Levi asked, confused."He saved my mother," she replied with a tender smile. "There's nothing more valuable to me than that." Levi was left without an argument, trying to think of what to say next."Ah, so there's nothing I can do that will mean something to you? Well... I'm willing to try. I can make you love me," he continued to insist."Levi, just let me be happy. You don't need to try to be good at something that's already perfect," she continued to say without looking at him, remaini
cap.45"Well… Her friend can't save her from her reputation as a whore," commented Kibely, one of the twins.Hiley and Kibely were very close, especially Kibely, since Hiley was born with a very delicate heart condition, so she was very careful with her sister, knowing that she couldn't put her in too much emotional turmoil. Therefore, she was the one who always planned everything.Later on, it was the audition for the presentation, and as expected, the judges approved of Luz."Objection!" shouted Kibely while her sister next to her maintained an enigmatic smile.Levi had watched the first presentation and was at the back, also hidden, watching the second one."This isn't a wedding, Kibely," reprimanded the professor watching her."I just think that this woman isn't the ideal image for our school, so she should be disqualified.""It's not up to you to decide. Luz Alessandra has exceptional beauty, are you afraid of being outdone?""First of all, it was already a mistake to open this c
Chapter. 46As soon as Levi left waiting for him at the reception, Leon made a call."Hello, Director Calisto," he said with a voice already in a bad mood."Mr. Leonardo Fischer? What a surprise! Is there anything I can help you with?" he asked, his voice trembling even though he was on the phone."Yes, actually, I heard there was an unexpected situation at the models' audition today. Do you know anything about it?""Oh, yes, sir! It was a shame, one of the students who passed all the tests, was great by the way, was exposed by the Hatawhay twins who claimed she was a prostitute, and from the video, is a stripper in some club.""Did you check this information before disqualifying her?""The video was enough, sir!""And did you see her face in the video to think that's my wife there?""What!?" the man questioned, incredulous, almost having a heart attack."Yes, you denigrated and humiliated my wife.""Sir...there was a misunderstanding, the young lady will be reinstated immediately, we
Cap.47"Leon..." She murmured quietly, knocking discreetly on his door. She knocked again, but there was no response even though he might have woken up, so she returned to her room depressed.As soon as she entered the room, Leon waited a few minutes and left, heading for the guest room. He wanted to avoid seeing her at all costs, even though his chest also felt anxious and missed her.He woke up the next day even earlier, but he didn't find him. The room was already empty. Luz just lay on her bed, bored, hugging her pillow."Leon... how am I supposed to know what's going on if you're running away?" She murmured, burying her face in the pillow and smelling it. She got up and went back to her room to get ready and head out for another day at college."Well... I was disqualified, but... I still have to study. After all, I never give up. It's not because of a contest that I'll be defeated. I've cried enough, but it was only because of my bad choices, and that's okay. I did what was right
Chapter 48Once again Luz woke up and didn't find Leon, which made her extremely irritated."Good morning, sunshine!" exclaimed Levi cheerfully. Luz glared at him as if possessed and didn't even bother to respond because of her bad mood, but Levi ignored it. After all, it was just another day that he could try to get closer to her without Leon's interference."Hey!" Luz shouted at Levi before entering the room to get ready. "We're not taking the same car, right? I'm not in a good mood.""Okay... but are you still going to university?" asked Levi, trying to make conversation."Yes!" snapped Luz as she slammed the door and headed to the bathroom. "Leon won't get away from me today, not even with the devil. Why has he been missing for all these days? Is it because Levi keeps following me around the university?" she muttered angrily while aggressively scrubbing her feet. And so, in a rude manner, she got ready and headed to the university.After class, she finally went to the final auditi
Chapter 49"Where is my wife?" Leon asked suspiciously."My wife?" Levi snorted irritably."Luz is missing, we've called her phone but no one is answering and it seems to be turned off," Rejane explained anxiously."She wasn't with you?" Leon asked Levi, who lowered his head in frustration, not knowing what to say."What did you do?""I didn't do anything, we just talked.""Knowing you...you must have said something stupid.""In the first place, it's not my fault that she's so touchy and can't handle the truth," he said indifferently."What did you say?""I said that maybe she would rather be a prostitute than be in our messed up family. Nothing more." Everyone looked disdainful at this."I don't think even if you were punished fifty times it would be enough to put your brother in line. This is not a joke anymore, Luz Alessandra is loose on the streets with the Hatawhay watching her," Scooby said, grabbing a small radio, and in a few minutes, men were gathered."Why not just let her g
Chapter 107 "Epilogue"Are you sure you're going over there? Don't you think it's risky to be seen?" asked Scooby with the man in the car next to him, wearing dark glasses and a hat."Yes, I need to see my son, I haven't been able to yet, but I've been trying hard to at least see her from afar, it's still a few more months away."Why don't you do that at home, everyone is thinking I'm a scammer." Spoke Scooby laughing."Don't worry buddy, soon you'll be able to go away with your daughter, how are these days with her?"The best, I'm glad that finally I can have her safe, and how is her treatment?"Thorough examinations to make sure it won't come back, it's a blessing that I was able to survive the surgery."Leon, you beat death, obviously it wouldn't be any different to get that tumor removed before it metastasized, you had a chance and you took it." Scooby said proudly."True, just a few more months of observation and I'll come home brand new, I'm glad to see Luz free of that marriage
Chapter 106"What do you want?" Luz asked confused as she noticed Levi a little hesitant."Well... I know this isn't the time, and... I wanted to wait to have this conversation, after all our marriage is still a reality, I thought long and hard before coming here." He said sitting down on his side."I understand that Leon has left no will, obviously you have rights, but I have been considering continuing with the marriage." He said seriously."Before you say anything, I can take care of you." he did now unsure."And Laisse? Does she like you and that's why you've been ignoring her?" Luz asked incredulously" So you don't like her?"Of course I do! But we're married, that's the truth!" he vociferated annoyed."Even you don't like that idea, we didn't get married because we wanted to, and now you already have someone you're interested in, right? Or were you waiting for Leon to die to come up with this idea?"Light! You know that day I was going to sign the papers for the cancellation of
Chapter 105Christmas Eve morning.Everyone is ready for the funeral, the Fischer mansion has never been so cold and sad, slowly everyone that was going to be there was gathering in the living room, Luz could barely stand up, she was so devastated, even so she decided to be strong and went downstairs with Isis, everyone was divided in 6 cars, many employees went, only Levi went to the funeral by motorcycle. The whole farewell process was dull for everyone, especially for Luz, who was leaning over the coffin in tears."Please... let me see him just once, please..." asked Luz as she announced the descent of the coffin, but Scooby held her, trying to calm her down."Luz, don't torture yourself anymore, stay calm, you still have your daughter." said Scooby hugging her, while his mother tried to calm her down."Why don't you let her see? He didn't have his face deformed or anything, I want to see my brother too! Why did you decide for everyone that the funeral would be like this?" vocifera
Chapter 104As soon as Luz approached where the three were, he found the assassin dead and Adonijah petrified in disbelief, keeping his gaze on Leon lying on the ground and Levi with him in his arms, with a gunshot wound to his chest."Leon! Hold on! Please!" vociferated Levi in desperation settling him in his arms hugging him, however, Leon only demonstrated feeling intense pain in his chest, his lips were flushed with blood, while his chest seemed to tear at the disturbing hot sensation."Leon..." Murmured Luz rushed to his body with Isis, she couldn't say anything else as she shed in desperate tears, Leon's eyes reached for her once again opening a pained smile."It's okay..." She tried to say, but everyone knew she wasn't."Brother, listen to me, please! Survive!" Roared Levi, Scooby had just arrived when he found the scene, ambulance was already on its way."Please... be strong, I... I didn't want to tell you the truth, but Isis, she's actually yours, she's always been your daugh
Chapter 103Morning of the 23rd Alt City, London.That day in the morning when it was still 5 o'clock in the morning, everything was quiet, few cars passed in that high class street, there is a building in front of the Fischer mansion and in this same building a new guest arrived.A hunchbacked old man, missing some teeth, gray hair tangled like an old doll's hair disguised by the old checkered beret, beard badly cut, he went terribly ill-dressed, and smiling into the building, entered the elevator along with three other men who looked at him kindly, then the old man smiled satisfied, the disguise had really worked.'M' made his way to the room he rented in front of the Fischer mansion, he discreetly watched the place until he finally started to pull off all that disguise, it was time to act, old Hatawhay had sent some men in an old van and they were waiting for the time to attack and get the uniforms of the Fischer mansion employees."Well, the security can't be that good, so I will
Chapter 102Levi and Adonijah had spent a whole day out hunting for this murderer, however they had no success, they had gone to all the apartments."I wonder where he's holed up?" Levi asked Adonijah, both of them in a luxury apartment lying on a large couch watching action movie on a 60 inch TV."Shouldn't you know?" Adonijah asked indifferently."I don't know, it's a little hard to imagine after all the guy doesn't know we're after him, does he?"You never know, it could be that old Hatawhay is monitoring everything, however, I don't care, we will catch him no matter the time, what we can't let is him come near that house, no one else can die at the hands of the Hatawhay." commented Adonias."And neither will he, after we catch this killer, we're going after this damned old man, it's time for him to pay for all the killing and for the only friend I ever really had."You had developed a crush on Andrews anyway, didn't you? You won't forget the guy for anything."Fuck you, one day wh
Chapter 101"You did what?" asked Leon."I almost got in the way of Lais and Levi." He commented wanting to laugh at how embarrassed he was."Oh yeah, he went drinking with her, supposedly more than that isn't it?"You knew and didn't tell me? I almost got in their way, my god, how embarrassing...."Ah, love, Levi was the most fuck up we've ever seen in our lives, he had no shame in his face, if you got in his way, it wouldn't be anything but fair."Leon!" she said reproachfully with a sly smile."Give me no idea, I'm starting to feel the urge to make Levi feel it in his skin," I said laughing."He's going to freak out."Well, while I am happy, this is a new trajectory for him, have you thought if he marries my cousin." said Luz dreamily."Don't kid yourself so much, it might just be another adventure for him."I don't think so, unfortunately Lais and I liked adventure, usually men fall at our feet." she said proudly."Convinced, but from the beginning I already knew you were like tha
Chapter 100Leon after making sure that all the Hatawhay's got on the plane out of England, he could finally make his way home, he kept himself thoughtful along the way besides being glowing with joy, it was the end of the empire, yet he knew that even being alone, old Dercy wouldn't see how much of important things he lost, he until the last minute would try to do evil, but Leon believed that behind the Fischer's bars and all their security no one would do anything against his family.Luz and Lais were excited, it was a hot afternoon today, that made the girls not resist going to the pool, Lais wanted to enjoy every room in that house."So you mean that brazen guy harassed you?" asked Luz incredulously, both of them in bikinis sitting on the edge of the pool."It wasn't really harassment, being that I was flirting, but he wouldn't even drink with me."You're crazy, really, so quickly you're already making such a fool of yourself?"Ah, Luz, we are adults, I don't like to play games, I
Chapter 99"Too risky, I prefer no confrontation, there are children inside, someone might get hurt by your way of acting."Ok, then do it your way, gather the tactical force, the London police, I know you're the boss of everything.The brothers stayed until dawn in the office, until finally Leon went to his room where he found Luz already sleeping next to Isis, he lay down next to both of them, but still did not give in to sleep, he remained thoughtful."Well, I'll be right there," said Levi to Adonijah, leaving him still in the study, also sleepless.Lais had just left the room with her empty jug and a glass, she was dying of thirst, until her eyes crossed with Levi's who was confused to see the girl."Who are you?" He asked seriously."I'm Luz's cousin...I'm just looking to get some water." Explained Lais trembling, the light in the hallway was limited, however, they both could see each other's faces well."Ok!" she muttered with a hard expression" Do you know where the kitchen is?
