Storming up the stairs, Mason burst into his house, walking frantically up to his office. Meanwhile Levi who had been feeding his bubba, was shocked into silence on seeing Mr. Bossy's fury and distress.

After searching all his drawers as well as every nook and corner of his office Mason ended up empty handed with no original memory card. So now, not only was the pen drive tampered, the original video clips were also missing.

Words and taunts from his lawyer and Robert filled his mind. However, he was able to piece together the information to arrive at an outcome he never wanted to believe. But something got to be wrong, he couldn't act on his rage blindly like the last time he did on hearing Robert's words.

No. This time I absolutely cannot get incited by his words.

Something must have gone wrong. There should be some piece I am unable to find properly. Levi will not have eliminated the evidence.

No! Surely he wouldn't do for his so called husband, granted he never want his hubby to be convicted in the first place. Still, no.

Didn't Robert say something about the right incentive to be provided?

Oh god! Snowflake what have you done? Why? God why?!

He didn't want to scare Levi and neither did he want to repeat his earlier mistakes. Thus taking a deep breathe, he went in search of his snowflake.

The first place that came into his mind was Levi's room, since that seems to be his safe haven in this house. Whenever he gets scared or upset, Levi takes the kid to his room to play with him. Just as predicted, Mason found the duo playing contently on the floor with toys. Clearing his throat, he got Levi's attention, who at once sat ramrod straight.

Peeking under his lashes, Levi gulped nervously at the figure standing imposingly at the door. He knew why Mr. Bossy is seeking him out. He had seen him storming around the house. Probably after coming back from the court. And he also knew, it was because of him that his ex-boss is right now fuming.

But what could he do. He had to do it, if not for his sake, for his bubba's. After spending couple of weeks with his friends, he slowly got to know how a relationship works, yet that doesn't mean he wasn't worthy of getting punishments from his sir. He absolutely was, that point was once again delivered strongly at the hands of that psychiatrist. So he never wanted his sir to be punished for what had to be done to keep him in line. 

Still he couldn't simply disobey Mason's wishes. If he hadn't taken that video, his sir would probably have been under custody, just like how that psychiatrist is now. Mr. Bossy surely wanted that, no wonder he tried so hard to gather all the evidence. But because of Levi, all went down the drain. He was really a clever person, hence he must have discovered that Levi had taken those clips. Now he wants his retribution.

As Mason stepped into his room, Levi sprang up, expecting to be punished now. Trembling slightly, he moved each step back as Mason took one forward. When he finally hit the wall, he squeaked out an apology.

"S-sorry s-sir."

Hearing that mouse like voice, Mason halted right in front of him and now Levi had to strain his neck to look at those handsome features. Inhaling in the perfume of Mr. Bossy, he struggled to get a hold on his fidgeting hands. Placing one hand near his head on the wall, Mason leaned closer such that both of their noses were touching. and he breathed his response in a lulling whisper.

"What are you sorry for, snowflake?"

There, that endearment again. Levi doesn't know from where that name got stuck in Mason's mind, yet he doesn't mind it. This name was more than ok for him, if it meant he wouldn't be called baby ever again. On top of that, this endearment brought a serenity within him. Whether it could be due to the gentle voice that spoke it or the tender eyes that glinted up. It seems he likes it more than he thinks he deserves.
