81|My World

Weary and worried out of his mind, Levi closed the front door behind him and slumped on the couch, where he spent a long time deliberating.He hated asking his folks for anything, and after his bitter fight with his father five years ago over the company succession, he swore he'd never use his family's resources. But finding a reputable security team, one he could trust with the life of the person most precious to him, would take time. And it was becoming more apparent each day that time was something he no longer had.Gritting his teeth, Levi swallowed his pride and called his mother. He'd try her first, and if she refused, he'd have to go to Leviticus and throw himself at his feet. Something he seriously dreaded and despised with a passion."Levi, is everything okay?" his mom asked as soon as she picked up on the third ring. "Is it Colleen? Do we have any news? She's gone, isn't she?""Mom, it's not Colleen." Levi spent a few minutes assuring her he was okay, and there was nothing n

82|Promises

Levi spent the whole weekend restless as fuck. He'd lost count of the number of times he was tempted to call Natalie but had somehow managed to resist the urge.He was a mess of note by Monday, more so since he was flying out to Ghana in the afternoon and would likely be gone for a week.He was at the office bright and early and spent a large part of his morning in back to back meetings, leaving instructions with the heads of the R&D area and the Game development team, the two departments that reported directly to him.Around lunchtime, he buzzed Angela in."Yes, Mr Van Holt?" she said as she waltzed through the door with his lunch and coffee. "You still have forty minutes before we have to head to the airport. You can have something to eat quickly."Levi wasn't hungry—not for food, at least.So he asked his assistant to bring Natalie in."I don't think that's a good idea, sir. The last few times Ms Taylor was here, you weren't too happy with her, and I saw how hurt she was.""Angela!

83|A Little Motivation

Natalie didn't need a mirror to tell her she looked like someone who'd just been properly fucked. Or, at the very least, thoroughly kissed. After all, the latter was true, and the former could have easily happened if Levi didn't have to rush off to catch his flight.And she didn't understand how a fifteen-minute chat—in which she was meant to tell Levi to stop summoning her to his office like she was his lackey or something—had turned into a heavy makeout session with her almost begging him to ravish her there and then on his couch.Bathroom break, Smart Natalie suggested, and she was all for that plan. The last thing she wanted was to get tongues wagging again in the chat.Stopping at the ladies to fix herself up before returning to her desk sounded like an excellent idea. So she did just that after she left Levi's office and spent a few minutes in front of the mirror, fixing her hair and clothes before she splashed cold water on her face to cool down her horny self.By the time she

84|Beautiful Mess

The following morning, Natalie couldn't get to work fast enough, and as soon as Emily came in, they raced to the staff canteen and found a quiet corner."What's going on? I haven't seen you this rattled since Levi found out you're an escort."Natalie played with the Styrofoam cup in her hands. "Aunty Viv's blocked my Dreams profile.""What? What did you do? How's that even possible? Can she do that?"Natalie had questions of her own. "I thought you said we can choose our own assignments, and she doesn't interfere? Why would she block my profile?""Nat, honestly, I've never heard of that happening before. You've clearly pissed off someone, and I'm guessing it's Andrei and the only way to fix this is to take him on as a client again.""I can't do that," Natalie said and cast a wary look around them before she carried on in a hushed tone. "I promised Levi I won't see him.""Talk to Aunty Viv," Emily suggested. "Explain to her why you can't see Andrei. Maybe she'll reconsider.""I've trie

85|Things Done In The Dark

So this was the motivation Aunty Viv was talking about, Natalie thought, her mind galloping wildly like a herd of feral horses.She closed her eyes, praying the next time she opened them again, she'd be in her bed, and this would all be a terrible nightmare that she could easily shake off with a strong cup of coffee.But when she opened them again, she was still in the middle of her living room, and Amber was outraged."My goodness, Nat! How could you? Why didn't you tell me? Why did you keep this from me? Didn't you think I'd want to know?"Lightheaded, out of breath and weak-kneed, Natalie sank on the couch, convinced if she remained on her feet, they'd give out on her anyway at any moment.She took quick, shallow breaths, unable to understand how her life could go up in flames so quickly and so soon.The very thing that had kept her awake most nights was finally playing out in front of her eyes. The one thing she'd feared—her siblings finding out about her secret life—had finally h

86|We All Wear Masks

When Natalie woke up the next morning, the rage she took to bed with her hadn't cooled. She went through her morning routine of getting ready for work and called Aunty Viv on her way to the office.This time her boss picked up, her voice chirpier than ever. "Natalie! Did your siblings like the surprise? Did it bring you back to your senses?""Why would you do that? Why would you send them my photos? What were you trying to do—"Aunty Viv cut her off, "Listen, doll, if you still like making money, you'd get over your outrage and meet me at Heat after work. I'll send a car for you."Sure enough, when Natalie signed out for the day, Aunty Viv's sleek Jaguar was at the entrance, and her driver, the same one who took her to The Empress months ago, was waiting outside the car.He nodded briskly and opened the passenger door for her. Natalie reluctantly jumped in and snapped on her seatbelt, and within seconds they were on the move, and she was oblivious to the dark SUV following behind them

87|What Were Good Were Promises

Warning: this chapter mentions illegal substances, implied violence and suicidal thoughts. If you are sensitive to these topics, please exit now. Your mental health comes; first, I'll see you in the next few chapters... *** Natalie didn't need Scottie's pills anymore because the pain in her ribs was almost gone. She only felt it when she pushed herself too hard or did something strenuous, like running up a flight of stairs or lifting something heavy.But after the horror show of an evening, she'd had at Heat with Aunty Viv, she needed something to help her pass out quickly. So she took two of Scottie's strong stuff and downed them with the half-finished bottle of wine Emily had left behind days ago and headed to bed.Hard as Natalie tried to nod off to sleep and forget the nightmare that awaited her in the morning, she couldn't. She'd left the brown package inside her handbag in the living room, but its weight had followed her to bed, keeping her wide awake as thoughts of her meeting

88|Huge Gamble

Twenty minutes.That was how long it had been since Levi last made contact with Natalie. After her strange call, he'd tried to get in touch with her, but her phone was now switched off and to say he was sick to his stomach with terror was an understatement.He hadn't known her for long, but the Natalie that had called him not so long ago was a far cry from the sassy, confident woman he'd fallen in love with. She'd sounded like she was at the end of her rope, and he was terrified she'd try to harm herself.After trying one more time and still not getting through, he called Zachary and Carlos.Zachary sounded wide awake when he picked up, even though it was just after 3:30 AM, his time."Where are you?" Levi asked."Beacon Hill, outside your girl's place," Zachary replied."Good, I need you to go up to her apartment right now, right this instant! I think something's wrong with her!""On it!" Zachary said, and a second later, Levi heard what sounded like the car door opening and heavy fo

89|Collateral-Part 1

True to her word, bright and early Wednesday morning, Aunty Viv sent Natalie a text with the location pin for the drop-off and followed it up with a phone call."Good morning, doll! Hope you slept well. You'll need all the energy for the day I've planned for you."Tired as hell from lack of sleep, emotionally unstable from everything she'd been through in the past 24 hours, Natalie lost her shit. "Listen here, Aunty Viv, I have a day job! I can't be at your beck and call the whole day. I'll deliver your package after work!""I don't remember giving you a choice. Stay close to your phone. After the delivery, I'll send you new instructions."As soon as she hung up from Aunty Viv, Natalie called Norah and explained she had a family emergency. Something had come up with Jamie, and she needed to head to Sparrow Beach ASAP."Oh, dear! I'm so sorry. Take all the time you need, as long as you keep your laptop close to you. I might need to send you some reports."Her normally aloof manager sou

90|Collateral-Part 2

As soon as Natalie stepped out of the gate, she called Aunty Viv. "It's done. I have the envelope.""You've really outdone yourself, doll!" she showered her with compliments she didn't want or need before issuing more instructions. "You're holding a lot of money in your hands. Be careful with it. You have to deliver it to its rightful owner now. I'll send you the location."Natalie didn't know where she plucked up the courage to refuse, but she did. "No, I'm not delivering anything until I get what I want.""Excuse me?" Aunty Viv was outraged by her audacity and flabbergasted that she would dare defy an order.This time Natalie was more adamant and vocal in her refusal. "I said I'm not doing it. I'm not going to the second location until you reactivate my profile.""Are you out of your mind?""I've never been more clear-headed. How do I know you'll stick to your end of the deal? I need some sort of collateral. It's amazing how much one can learn in one morning.""Natalie, Natalie, Nat
