The guy stood square in front of Leander and dropped a fat bundle of cash onto the tray table. His voice was sharp, full of arrogance, like this was a done deal and Leander had no choice but
to move.
Before Leander even looked up, Maeve’s brows pinched together. Her tone was low, tinged with
annoyance.
“Trevor Levington? What are you doing here p>
Trevor grinned like he’d just scored points. “Hey, sis–in–law. I heard you were flying to Ravenridge for the Jeff Enterprises charity gala. My brother couldn’t make it, so he sent me instead. Told me to keep you safe.
“He’ll meet you there on the day of the event,” he added, like it was some kind of grand favor.
Maeve’s face didn’t shift. Her voice dropped a few degrees colder.
“Don’t call me that. And keep your voice down.
“I don’t need you babysitting me either. I brought my own security p>
She flicked her chin toward the row behind them. Four bodyguards sat at different corners, each one alert behind a pair of dark sunglasses. It was clear they had her surrounded and well protected.
Trevor just laughed, still trying to keep things light. “Come on, Maeve. Don’t be so cold. You’re engaged to my brother. Sooner or later, you’re going to marry into our family. I don’t see the harm in calling you sis–in–law.
“And those guys you brought? They’re amateurs. I’m a hell of a lot better at keeping you safe p>
He said it loud enough for everyone nearby to hear. The bodyguards didn’t react. They just turned away, pretending they hadn’t heard the insult.
But they knew. Trevor wasn’t bluffing. The four of them together weren’t even close to his level. If he called them useless, they had no way to argue.
Maeve’s eyes darkened. Her voice dropped like ice against glass.
“My father and your father made that arrangement. Not me,
“I never agreed to that engagement. And I’ve told your brother plenty of times–I’m not

marrying him. I already have someone else in my heart. I won’t forget him. Not now, not ever p>
Each word hit like a hammer. She didn’t flinch. She didn’t soften.
“So, the Levington family can give up. I’m not joining it.
“If you all keep harassing me, I’ll go to my sister. And if I ask her master to step in, your whole family’s going to regret it p>
Trevor’s smirk vanished. His jaw twitched, and a flicker of fear darted across his face.
He knew what that meant. His father had pull in Glenwick, but even he had to show respect when it came to Emma’s teacher. If that woman got involved, it wouldn’t end well. Not for him. Not for anyone in their family.
“Alright, alright,” he said quickly, raising his hands. “No more ‘sis–in–law.‘ I’ll call okay p>
you
Maeve,
Maeve stared straight through him.
Her words came sharp and steady.
“It’s Ms. Maeve for you. We’re not close p>
Trevor backed off with a stiff smile, but it didn’t reach his eyes. You could see the frustration boiling just beneath the surface.
He turned to Leander and narrowed his eyes. The chill in his voice returned.
“Hey. I told you to take the money and leave. Don’t play dumb. I said I’m buying this seat p>
He didn’t dare go at Maeve, but Leander? He looked like a broke college kid. The kind who wore clothes from the discount rack and never saw a thousand dollars, let alone a hundred grand. Trevor didn’t take him seriously.
To him, throwing down that kind of cash should’ve been enough to make any normal guy jump up and say thank you. But Leander still hadn’t moved. And that was starting to piss him off.
Maeve shifted in her seat, clearly uneasy. She looked like she wanted to step in, maybe ease the tension, but the words wouldn’t come. Just then, Leander raised his head.
“You think just because you’ve got money, I’m supposed to give up my seat p>
His voice sounded calm and dry, without a hint of warmth. His eyes held no reaction, and he didn’t move an inch.
If Trevor had asked with respect, even without flashing cash, Leander might’ve considered it.

But the guy walked up like he owned the place, barking demands like it was owed to him. That alone sealed his answer.
Trevor blinked, a little thrown off. Then he let out a sharp grin and tilted his head. “Oh? So that’s a no p>
He wasn’t used to being challenged. As the second son of the Levington family, he never needed permission. Most people in Glenwick either feared him or bowed to him. Leander clearly didn’t belong to either group.
“Exactly,” Leander replied, eyes already back on his phone.
Trevor’s jaw tightened, and a flicker of menace flashed behind his eyes.
He’d offered money first only because Maeve was present.
He didn’t want to look like a thug in front of her or cause trouble that could drag his brother Troy’s name through the mud. If it weren’t for that, he would’ve just thrown Leander out of the seat on sight.
To him, a hundred grand was more than generous. But this nobody had the nerve to say no?
“You should feel lucky I’m offering to pay,” Trevor snapped, his voice growing louder.
“If I wanted, I could move you myself. No one would stop me. You really think anyone here’s gonna take your side p>
The threat hung in the air, thick and mean. In his world, people like Leander weren’t people. They were background noise–easily ignored and quickly removed.
Still, Leander didn’t flinch.
“I don’t care who you are,” he said, without even glancing up. His voice carried a bite now, each word firm and clipped.
“Take your money and get out of my face. Keep talking, and I’ll throw you off this plane p>
He didn’t yell. He didn’t need to. His tone cut sharp and cold. The weight of it made Trevor pause. For the first time, the smugness cracked.
Trevor just stood there, caught off guard. No one had ever talked to him like that before.
Maeve’s eyes widened. She had assumed Leander was calm and quiet, but there was steel in his words.
She couldn’t help the smile tugging at her lips. Back in Glenwick, Trevor ran unchecked. No one dared talk back. But here, on a flight to Ravenridge, he finally ran into someone who didn’t

care who he was.
Still, the smile faded just as fast. She knew Trevor. He wouldn’t let this go.
Finistud
Sure enough, Trevor stood still for a moment, then his expression darkened. His hands curled into fists, and the sound of his knuckles cracking filled the air.
“You’ve got a death wish,” he muttered, stepping forward.
His hand pulled back like he meant to grab Leander and rip him out of the seat.
Before he could move, Maeve sprang up.
“Trevor!” Her voice cut through the air like glass.
“This is a plane. What the hell do you think you’re doing p>
She stepped between them, her eyes locked onto his.
“You’re a Levington. Act like one. If Troy hears you picked a fight mid–flight, do you really think he’s gonna let that slide p>
Her glare sliced through him. He blinked, caught off guard by her sudden fire.
“You want to keep going?” she said coldly. “Because if you do, I’m calling Troy right now p>
Trevor’s hand dropped like it had touched fire. His eyes narrowed, and a flicker of panic darted through his gaze.
If there was one person in the Levington family who could make him pull back, it was Troy.
Trevor had grown up under his brother’s thumb. Every mistake he made, Troy corrected with harsh precision. He never yelled. He didn’t need to. He punished with silence, shame, and consequences that cut deeper than a slap. And if Trevor ever shamed the family in public, Troy made sure he remembered it for life.
That single thought shoved Trevor’s rage back into the pit of his stomach. He shot Leander a look full of quiet spite, then turned away without another word and stalked toward the back of the plane.
He didn’t push it any further, but his mind had already locked onto Leander’s face. He didn’t forget things like this. And he never forgave them.
Once he was gone, Maeve finally relaxed. She eased back into her seat and turned toward Leander.
“You need to be careful,” she said softly. “He’s from the Levington family. He holds grudges, and

She didn’t say that to scare him. She just didn’t want to see him hurt.
Trevor didn’t even have to lift a hand. With the weight of his family behind him, he could crush people like stepping on ants. Discover more novels at.net
Leander tilted his head slightly. He let out a short, dry laugh through his nose. The sound held nothing but contempt.
“He better pray he doesn’t come near me again once we’re off this plane p>
