' Need some help?'
Jordan froze when she heard that voice. She looked at Aaliyah and saw she was fast asleep. Slowly, she turned around and saw who it was. It was none other than Levi Thorn.
' Levi' . Jordan was beyond shocked. It had been years since she had seen Levi. Last time she saw him, she was graduating from college. He looked amazing back then, but now, he looked more than amazing.
' Are you just gonna stare at me without even saying a hi?' Levi asked while grinning at her.
'I- I'm just shocked. W- What're you doing here?' Levi ignored her question and headed towards Aaliyah. He heard Aaliyah mumbling something in her sleep. He couldn't help but chuckle at how cute she was right now.
' Looks like you got your hands full here' Jordan simply nodded while looking down at the floor.
She watched as Levi effortlessly carried Aaliyah in his arms. He strode past her and to his luxurious black Ferrari where he placed her gently in the back seat. Then he opened the passengers door for Jordan to get in.
Jordan obediently got in and Levi started the car. Levi helped her with her seatbelt and when he was done, did Aaliyah's too. He started driving and Jordan just couldn't take the silence anymore.
' Why are you here?' Jordan asked as she faced Levi with a serious look, even though deep inside, she was shaking in her boots.
' What?' Levi asked as he blinked innocently at her but Jordan just gave him a menacing look and he remembered what she was talking about.
' Oh. I'm just here for a business trip. Tomorrow's going to be my last day here so I just thought I should enjoy my last two days in Santa Monica in style, you know, relax and unwind' Levi said as he shrugged.
Jordan's stomach churned at the thought of him being here too. She didn't want to know but she needed to know. So, she asked, ' Is he....'
Jordan didn't need to finish her sentence for Levi to know who she was talking about.
' Oh, no!! He's not here. He's actually in Houston, so he's pretty far from here. You don't have to worry'
Jordan sighed satisfied with his answer. She wasn't ready to see him again. Not after their fight.
She looked at Aaliyah who was fast asleep and smiled. She looked at Levi and noticed he had a troubled look on his face as he looked at his side mirror.
' What's wrong?' Levi simply nodded his head towards the side mirror and Jordan looked at it. She saw a black car following them from behind.
' We're being followed. But why?' Jordan looked at Levi with a panicked expression but she saw the frown on his face had deepened.
' It's the Edrics' Levi could tell from the golden jaguar in the car. Jordan looked at him with a shocked expression. Why on earth would the Edrics be following Levi? Could oy be they were after Aaliyah? Wasn't Raymund done with making Aaliyah's life miserable?
' They're after Aaliyah' Levi looked at her clearly confused. ' What? Why?' He asked Jordan but Jordan just picked up his phone and gestured for him to take it.
' There's no time to explain but you have to protect Aaliyah no matter what. Please, call for back up or something '. Levi just sighed and dropped the phone. ' There's no need for that. You guys will stay at my place with me. They won't dare enter Drakeford territory. Not unless they have a death wish, that is'
