Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter Marcus's last visit to Frank, it was expected that his care would cease. However, what Marcus hadn't accounted for was that someone had been closely tracking his every move. Someone who, silently and strategically, had been pulling strings to appear insignificant.
That day, this silent observer arrived at the hospice, papers and identification in hand. Frank Levett Jr. was there to claim the man who was once the unshakable "Judge Levett." "Dr. Marlow," Frank Jr. began coldly, "it's in your best interest to keep quiet. You should know that what you've done all these years could lead to scrutiny-not just of your life, but your family's too. For their sake and the sake of everyone working here, you will not breathe a word of this to Marcus Bartz." "My father regains his freedom today. Fear and hatred, Dr. Marlow, believe me, outweigh power. That man you see lying there, waiting for his end, will rise again as if by a miracle. You have no idea how many lives his return will change. It's tpeople remembered who the Levett family is in Valentia. It's tthey remembered we are a symbol of respect and power." For years, Frank Levett had made the world believe he was the sole powerhouse of the Levett family-a man of charisma, dominance, and overwhelming presence. He'd often claimed that his genes had skipped a generation and only his granddaughter, Alexia Levett, had inherited his imposing qualities. But he was gravely mistaken. Frank Levett Jr., for all his outward appearances of conformity, possessed an unmatched stoicism. People assumed his wife held more power than he did.
They underestimated him.
In a world of shifting loyalties, appearances mattered. Frank Jr.'s ability to manipulate unnoticed had allowed him to build an empire that no one dared question.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe never contested his father's actions nor flinched when Marcus Bartz began hunting everyone connected to the death of his family. But what truly enraged him was discovering that Bartz had been slowly killing his father, piece by piece. Frank Jr. wasn't the type for prolonged vendettas; he preferred a clean shot to the head and a swift end. Toying with a victim like a cat with its prey felt degrading to him.
The death of his daughter, however, had awakened his fury. It was tto end Marcus Bartz's reign, and white he was at it, he'd deal with the Palmers-the family that had humiliated the Levetts after Alexia's tragic actions.
Initially, learning that Frank Levett Sr. was alive evoked no emotion in Frank Jr. But like a chess player biding his time, he kept that piece in reserve, ready to play it when the moment demanded. That moment was now. Standing in the hospice, Frank Jr. had a purpose for his father-one be harbored no sentimental attachment to. If Frank Sr. could be presented as a victim, a tragic martyr, the story of the poor "Judge Levett,” kidnapped and forgotten for years, would stir public sympathy. It would also give Frank Jr. the leverage he needed to infiltrate government ranks.
Though there were still loose ends to tie up, the critical piece was in place. Q Frank Jr. wasn't after money. He sought power. And along the way, he'd settle scores with two families that had dared cross his own.
