LEVI

“And you think that is the way out?” I questioned my client with an arched brow.

He shrugged and focused his attention back on the file in front of him, swiping through the pages while I continued to stare at him with a calculative gaze.

We have been inside my office at home for more than an hour trying to come up with strategies and solutions which will be of benefit to the both of us and so far he was rather getting in my skin with his nonchalant attitude than actually helping in any way.

I was trying hard to keep my anger at bay, reminding myself how important this project is to me and my company at large. I needed not to let anything get in my way of getting this meeting to success, especially not anger.

He cleared his throat and opened his mouth to speak but closed it back up again. He thinks he has all the time in the world.

“Patience Levi, patience” I kept chanting to myself in my head turning my gaze to the two other subordinates he came with. They too were solely focuse

    LEVI’Everything happened so fast, I was driving home and then suddenly I was stranded in the middle of the road with a wretched car and injured body.The car that hit mine wasted no time in zooming off and I was left to fend for myself, drunk, severely injured, under a heavy downpour and with a wretched car.I tried multiple times to start the car but it wouldn’t budge so I was left with no choice but to get out of it before another car would come crashing into me again.I winced at the unbearable pain in my hand as I tried to move it toward the door handle. Every part of my body was begging me to stay still and not move but I couldn’t risk it, I had to leave the car. It could even flame up for all I know so I forced myself to act.Getting hold of the door handle, I pushed the door open with whatever strength I had left and in no time the rain was hitting my face. Miraculously, the headlight was still on even after the ghastly accident. I could see how damaged the car was, which ma

    ALEXA I could hear her voice as he led her out , deep somewhere in my mind I was filled with jealousy up till the moment I couldn't bear Athena laughter anymore and plugged my iPod in.After a long while it grew silent…As I walked down the stairs, I kept wondering if anyone was around. I had been in the quiet house since morning trying to keep myself busy.“Mia! Is there any food around here?” I asked Mia to call out as I walked further down the stairs. “Mia!” I called out again.I began to check around the house looking for Mia but to no avail. She was nowhere to be found. I noticed that the house was empty as it was as silent as the graveyard.Ever since I was made to stay in the penthouse, this was the first time it was this way. Mia was usually in the penthouse with me. It felt so lonely here. I went over to the kitchen and saw that there was no food. My stomach grumbled immediately at that thought. I went ahead to the fridge and also saw that it was empty. “I need to get some

    LEVISomething was up, I could feel it.As I walked into the living room, there was an unsettling silence in the house. It seemed so odd that the whole house was in pin drop silence when I walked in. Well, the house was usually quiet, especially now that Alexa was locked in. However, it had been almost two minutes since I walked in just like that, Mia would have left whatever she was doing to check who it was.As I started to walk up the stairs, I saw Mia coming down. “Well look, we have it here.” I said.“What? Brother, I locked the door this time. It’s creepy that you have a spare key, so you can come in at any time.” She said as we both stopped walking.“Yes. I believe I can.” I replied. I noticed how she was sweating profusely and my suspicion arose even higher. Her hands were shivering and she looked like she just ran a lot of miles.“Mia.”“Hmmm?” She replied.“Mia.” I raised one of my eyebrows and looked straight into her eyes.“W…what?”“What were you doing before I came?” I a

    LEVI I finally decided to go with Mia's decision of treating Alexa nicely.I had been distant and been giving her a cold shoulder for too long. Going with Mia's decision was going to be hard but I was ready to give it a shoot. I had been up since around 2 am but I haven't left my bed yet. Stretching my limbs and yawning widely, I climbed out of bed and then groped my way towards the bathroom to clean up before heading downstairs to get a bottle of water. I discovered last night my water supply had gone low and so I couldn't drink a glass of water as I had always done for a long time now. Getting water from the kitchen was not the problem, I was just too lazy to go for it but I was going to push that laziness aside and get it this morning before anything else. After cleaning up, I walked into my room and then changed into a pair of shorts and vest. Grabbing my phone, I began to heed for the door.I had barely taken two steps when I saw Alexa walking towards my direction.She wa

    ALEXAWhen I left Levi's room, I went straight to the kitchen to join Mia who was making breakfast for us.I was supposed to be the one but because I had cut my fingers the previous night, she opted to take my place saying I would replace her when it was her turn.Immediately I stepped in, she raised her head in my direction and without her asking, I already knew what she wanted to say and so I gave her a nod.I watched as her lips twisted into a smile. If not for her, I wouldn't have gone to see Levi. She was the one who pushed me, giving me reasons on why I should meet him despite my strong resolution not to do so.While she went about making the food, I helped in cleaning the house.By the time I was done, food was ready and so I joined her on the dining table. "This is heavy" I commented and she nodded in response.I was used to eating a light breakfast of cereal, pancakes, omelet and sometimes bread. Each time it was her turn to cook, she always made a large breakfast as if s

    LEVIEver wondered how it felt to despise something, yet at the same time can't live without it?At that moment I felt the exact same way, it was hard to describe but the mere sight of her did things to me that my lips felt so numb to describe, it was as though she was reaching right out to touch my soul.The Truth had to be told, she was a very charming woman. One part of me was completely sold out to the fact that she was mine and I could have her any time I wanted . Still another part of me wanted to hate her for just her family sake, it was as though two parts were right there in my chest—Good and bad—conflicting within themselves."You look so —" The rest of my words were lost in the deeper part of my soul, the darkest part from fear that spilling then would let out a part of me I thought should be dead.She had a smile that disappeared as quickly as my word's had."You were going to say something." She muttered. "Am I not dressed well enough?" In a way I couldn't describe, a wa

    LEVI "Didn't expect to see you here." One part of me didn't want to stop and look him right in his face but at that moment, I wasn't left with much of a choice.It was either I gave him the attention he wanted and get away or he'd be on my case all evening, most certainly the latter was something I didn't want.The last thing anyone would want was to have a man like him trailing you all evening.He had a good look at Alexa, I could very much tell what was going through his mind from the way he looked at her lustfully.At some point, I felt like hitting the smug look away from his face if he didn't stop ."What do you want, Zale?" I asked, sounding a bit spiteful.Anyone close to us would probably know that all we held toward each other was a grudge's lot of it that could consume either of us.I had just one rule and it boldly stated, stay away from Zale, I had known Zale ever since I had known good from evil and the truth was he was in the darker part of life.

    ALEXA“You’re all mine,” He breathed those words against lips and I let him, I let him take every bit of my lips like he owned it, I did that without holding anything back.A rumble of satisfaction traveled up his throat and he pressed himself closer to take my mouth. For a moment I could hear the heart beating and I couldn't tell which was different, his or mine—All I could tell was the fact that it was beating as one.Soon we heard what seemed like a feminine voice from behind us.Levi was the first to turn. "What are you doing here?" He was a bit surprised to see his sister standing right there.I looked a bit startled seeing her there as well, as she didn't mention anything about coming but still I kept whatever emotions that were racing through my mind."Well, I got invited by a friend." She answered.If there was anyone that looked more puzzled about the whole situation it was most definitely Levi."And who will that be?" Levi asked, looking a bit surprised. "Don't bother kn

    LEVII shifted a little in my chair, impatient for the council meeting to get to the stage I had been dreaming about all these days. I looked around at all the pack members seated in the council chamber. All eyes were trained on the front of the room, at the round table where the men who would give fair judgment on who was to become Alpha, sat. I was not the only one stealing glances around the room. Zale, who was a claimant of the Alpha title sat at the end of the table also, opposite from me. It was obvious that he was in a state of barely suppressed excitement. His eyes met mine, and he smirked before looking away. I hid a grin. He was in for a shock even though he did not know it yet. There was a loud thump that echoed around the room. Conversation ceased immediately. One of the chief council members, the one with a grizzled beard slowly got to his feet. "Brothers of the pack," he called in a carrying voice. "You all know why we are here, to decide on who becomes the true Alpha

    LEVI"It's your son, I can't find him anywhere!" Mia fidgeted, her eyes sunken with fear..I immediately stood up from my chair in a panicked state."Where was the last place you saw him?"I asked Mia, barrelling past her."In his room,I went downstairs to get myself a drink and answer a few calls then came back to find him gone." Mia rambled, following closely behind me just as panicked as I was.I tried to calm myself as I practically ran to the security room…I was still pissed about finding out that Zale was responsible for my father's death and now this!I needed to focus. There was no way my son could just disappear without a trace.I took in a deep breath as I got to the security room and sat down. I began to surf through the security footage, trying to calm my racing heart.Mia was right by my side, scanning the footage from between one hour ago and now. I could practically hear her heart beating her chest. She was afraid and normal I'd comfort her but I was just as panicked as

    ALEXA As soon as I stepped into the restaurant, I spotted Zale seated at a table at the rear of the restaurant, fidgeting and checking his watch. He looked around, but did not spot me at the entrance, as a couple of people were leaving then, blocking his view of me. He was obviously eager to have the ring in his possession, even though I was still five minutes early for our scheduled meeting. "Hi, Zale," I said as I lowered myself into the chair next to him. He started a little, having been engrossed in checking his wristwatch in what had to be the umpteenth time. "Alexa." His face split into a wide grin. His eyes danced with barely concealed excitement. "Just who I've been expecting. It's good to see you." He looked me over, his gaze lingering on the fitted dress I wore. "You look really good... Better than you looked at our last meeting."I shrugged. "I guess it's the satisfaction of taking my own pound of flesh.""Of course. Of course. I like the way you think. Only hypocrites

    LEVIIt was night time and Alexa was getting ready to go over to Zale's to hand him the fake ring.Despite the simplicity of the plan, I couldn't help but to be worried about her and the plan. I wasn't one to scare easily but when it came to Alexa's safety, I was.I watched her through the window as she walked towards the car that was to take her over to Zale 's place. I still didn't like the idea of her meeting him but in order for us to be able to trick him, she had to.The starless sky was not helping the niggling feeling I had at the back of mind either. I know why but I felt really off about the plan. Alexa had told me I was being paranoid when I had mentioned my concerns to her earlier and I had taken it as the reason but right now I wasn't so sure.As if she could sense my eyes on her, Alexa turned around and our eyes locked through the window and she frowned as she noticed the worry in my eyes.She tore her eyes off mine and quickly glanced at the driver to say something I cou

    LEVII walked towards Mike who was making his way towards me.'How'd it go?’ I have a question. He heaves a breath and buries his hand in his hair, “Nothing out of the ordinary really,” he starts, leaning against a nearby wall, “They just went on and on about who the new alpha is going to be and how the choice is going to be made this year. Apparently they’re making special efforts to ensure it isn’t the same as the previous year.” He explains and I nod in understanding.“Makes sense. Did they mention who exactly who the competitors this year are?” I asked, taking the spot beside him.“To be honest, it wasn’t really clear, they didn’t state it plainly,” He scratches the back of his head, an apology in his eyes, “They however mentioned the top two contenders are you and Zale.” He finishes, his gaze studious.“That’s…good?” I muss, my hand rubbing against my chin, an impulse I had picked from Alexa. “And the supporters? Enemies?”“We actually have quite a number of people on our side,

    ALEXAI told Mia about Levi's text and we drove to Levi's office. The traffic was on my side. It was light and we got to the office in record time. As soon as I pulled in front of the building, I looked into the rearview mirror, schooling my expression into the expected one of fury. Mia waited in the car. I marched past the smiling doorman, completely ignoring his greetings. The other staff scurried out of the way when I directed my scowl at them. "Where is he? Levi," I demanded of the receptionist. "He's upstairs," she said, wide eyed with surprise. "Up in the conference room."Without another word, I went upstairs, already muttering angrily to myself long before I spotted Levi. He stood with his back to the wall, sulkily regarding people who passed by him. "There you are, you piece of shit!" I screeched as loudly as I could. I pointed an accusing finger at him as I marched towards him. As I had hoped, every eye in the corridor became fixed on me. Levi gaped at me, his expressio

    LEVIMy attention was half on what Mike was saying. I was lost in thought, thinking about what Mia had told me. It had come as a shock to realize that Mia had been under Ryan's thumb all this while, doing his bidding. I was grateful for whatever lucky chance had made Alexa eavesdrop and hear Mia's conversation. The sound of my phone ringing brought me out of my reverie. I started a little. "Alexa's calling," Mike said with a glance at my phone which lay between us. I grunted, picked up quickly. "I'm listening," I said as soon as I picked up the call. Mike leaned forward to talk to the driver, and I used that opportunity to shift a little to the far side of the car. This was not a conversation I wanted him to overhear. "You already left the house," remarked Alexa."Yes," I responded."I hope you still remember the plan.""Yes."There was a brief pause. Her tone was somewhat annoyed when she said, "Why are you answering me in monosyllables?" I swallowed, racking my brains for the b

    ALEXA"Ryan?” I ask, trying to contain my anger.Mia’s stares at the flower arrangements behind me unwilling to meet my gaze.“I believe I asked you a question Mia. Why the hell would you do this to Levi?” “Answer me!” I snap.Mia fiddles with the hem of her dress, she opens her mouth to speak but no words come out. Alexa pulls her by the arm into an empty changing room, “Now we have some privacy. You better start talking.”Mia paced about the tiny cubicle. “I’m sorry.” “You’re sorry?” No no no! We haven’t gotten to that part yet.”“This is the part where you give me a damn explanation for why you’re stealing from your own brother.”“I..I don’t know. I just.. I mean its Ryan” Mia stutters,“I’m racking my brain searching hard for a good enough reason but nothing except its Ryan.” She huffs, “I never know how to act when it comes to him. It’s almost like I lose all self-control, like I don’t have a mind of my own. He asks me to do something, and I do it without question.I watch Mia

    ALEXA"Alexa-" Levi murmured, then paused, gauging my reaction. With a sigh, I left our son's crib. I really didn't want to have the conversation he was sure to bring up right now. I needed time to process all he had said to me before. I left the nursery, hoping he would take the hint and drop the issue. I went to the bedroom, sat on the bed, but Levi was still right behind me. "We need to talk, Alexa. Please," he said. "You have already said everything there is to say.""But you haven't given me an answer yet.""Look, each of us has a lot to do today. So why don't we just drop this?" I suggested. "Both of us will function better today if you give me an answer. Let's leave the past behind us and face the future together. Marry me, Alexa.""It's not as simple as that," I grumbled. "But it is. The complications are all in your head."I bit my lip. Levi was wrong there. It was not that simple. I had been through a lot at the hands of Levi. There was an elephant in the room. Levi had
