The next day ~ LEVI BANKS “I PROMISE TO BE THE ONE TO END YOU!” Those were the words I said to Ethan yesterday before finally leaving his house. I'd been so down since then and the message regarding Jessica's health was all that distracted my emotions for a while. The contract was expiring in nine days and even if we had seven extra days, What's the probability that I'ld have Sophia back in my house before those sixteen days are over?.. Sighs.. “Levi?” Jessica's voice interrupted my thoughts. She just got discharged and was right beside me at the car's front seat while I drove absentmindedly, heading to her apartment. “Huh?" I voiced, slowing down a bit to go over the road bump. “I've been talking to you for the past five minutes now and you haven't even been listening. What's up?" She asked. I heaved a deep breath. “Nevermind Jessica, I'll be fine” I said, not want

SOPHIA LANGFORD I finally decided to use the phone Ethan had sent through the maids some days back and my intention was solely to check the social media's update for the first time in a long while. I didn't know Levi's contact digits off hand so contacting him was impossible and I guess Ethan was aware of that too.. Oh yeah, I'd memorised Levi's number before now but he stopped using that contact address already. I can't remember exactly what the reason was but I know it was primarily due to some fraudulent activities he detected.. Logging into my account, I stumbled upon a notification that attracted me at a first glance. ‘Toby Ford sent you a friend request’.. That was the notification. The only person I knew by that name was my immediate younger sister and my mum's older twin. She was used to shortening our family name to ‘Ford' just as dad always did and as for me? I'd never for once deemed it better

LEVI BANKS I managed to remain in the office till 5:30pm even though everything I attempted to do ended up getting filled with jargons and lots of errors. But at least, I succeeded in distracting my emotions for a while. “How was your day sir?” my driver, whom I'd called to come pick me up, said as I approached the car at a normal pace, ready to go home. “You don't need to know, just get in and drive” I replied bluntly, opening the car door for myself even before he could. Sighs.. Everyone just had to cope with my behaviour for now. “Sorry sir. I really hope you're fine though” he responded, still very much caring. We began the journey home seconds after he settled behind the wheels and all I did was tilt my head backwards and close my eyes while the cool breeze freely came in from the windows. I got a message notification almost immediately and though I wanted to ignore it, I ended up

LEVI BANKS The zooming sound of Jessica's car made me realise that the maid had delivered my message already and she had already left. I fell heavily on the bed after taking off my shoes and unbuttoning my shirt completely. “Everyone makes things more difficult" I mumbled. I tried closing my eyes to sleep, just to at least, forget everything for now but it wasn't working. My body wasn't ready to succumb to sleeping at all and to worsen matters, Grandpa's call came in. Hadn't he called just recently?.. “You all should make me get back my sanity!” I groaned, hitting the bed repeatedly like it was the cause of my predicament. However, I knew I couldn't ignore Harold's call for long, so I just had to swipe green. “Levi.." he called my name rather than the usual ‘Son’. That immediately made me realise that he had something so serious to say. I didn't say a word. My lips just couldn't move

LEVI BANKS I arrived at dad's house in about an hour later, knowing fully well that he was going to ruin my mood that morning.. But what was I supposed to do?.. Refuse coming to see him?.. No, I was really not in for troubles now. Grandpa's orders are more dreadful than the laws of Moses in fact and even though it's past eight already, I still had to see him. “Pa. Harold has been waiting since eight” his personal guard said as I alighted from my car. I closed my car door, shooting him a glare. “What do you think I'll have done? Fly my car over others when I got caught in a traffic jam?"I demanded. “I'm sorry boss" he bowed and all I did was walk past him without any other word. I'd been trying to be careful not to transfer so much aggression to the poor maids or guards these days, so I just had to keep controlling myself. “You are nineteen minutes late” Grandpa growled on
