Save Him 80|Possibilities
As much as Levi wanted to go after Natalie and never let her go until she agreed to give him another chance, he knew he couldn't. Her hurt was still too raw and her anger too fresh. Allowing her time and space to cool off was the best thing he could do for her. For the moment, at least.But giving up on her stopped being an option when he thought he'd go out of his mind from missing her.Sighing, he watched her walk away, taking huge chunks of his heart with her, her back growing smaller until she eventually merged with the throngs of their colleagues.His phone rang, momentarily snatching his thoughts away from all his regrets.He frowned at the caller ID as his heart rate quickened, convinced the PI had terrible news to share about his twin. They weren't due for their weekly check-in till Sunday."Seth," he said as he picked up the call. "What's going on?""Where are you? Can we meet up?"Levi explained he was at Chassis' team building at Zoo Lake."Any chance you can cut it short?
Save Him 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
Save Him 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!
Save Him 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
Save Him 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
Save Him 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

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

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
