"It's over between us, honey." I said to Clyde, flinging the divorce papers at him. You don't want to be the bad guy, am I right? Well now, you don't have to worry about who the bad guy is." He watched the papers flutter to the floor, dumfounded. They assumed she was still in a coma and so wouldn't see them. Even if she wasn't, this wouldn't be the first time her dear husband would kiss another woman in her presence. She saw nothing. But the slurps and moans woke her from the state of coma. The raptures and gasps had kept her from resting, and their shivers of pleasure caused a tear to drop from her eye. She collapsed making lunch for him. But here he was, making out with a woman she considered to be her best friend. All she could think of was revenge, and she knew who was perfect for the job. Not only was she going to get back at him, she was going to show her true identity now. She comes out of the hospital with his twins inside of her and left him alone with the realization that his life was about to change forever. Whisked away to a different world, Everleigh finds love in the arms of Clyde's arch nemesis. Love, hate, betrayal, resentment, envy and secret babies. It all started with one good kiss on the wrong lips, and a lot of lies to the wrong ears.

The beep had woken me up from my sleep but Felix was still dozing. I checked the time on the phone. It was almost six in the morning. I had to start my day soon as It was going to be a busy day."I suppose you're no longer avoiding women like they're some plague." Gina was the one bombarding his phone so early in the morning, I wondered what the matter was with her.I refused to respond, waiting for her to continue typing. "Was she worth the wait?" I supposed she was speaking about me, so I responded, "Yes. I am glad I waited for her." I wondered if that would have been Felix's response and what Gina meant."Okay, then." Gina seemed upset, I couldn't fathom why. "You think this is over but it isn't."'What is over?' I was curious to know. Why was she sending her boss weird messages, but I couldn't because that would make her know that Feli
Everleigh's POV He stood with hands akimbo and gazed at me for a few seconds. He then wore a smile, lifted both hands into the air and began to tug on his shirt."What are you doing?" I said, discomforted by his actions and gestures."Stripping for you, my love," He said, taking his shirt off."Please stop," I responded. "What? You don't find me attractive?""You're a very handsome man, Felix. But I don't want to see you naked.""Why not?" His voice shivered, threatening to break. He appeared very sober. He had somehow succeeded in taking his shirt off and now stood with his bare hairy chest, gazing down at me and waiting for a response.Felix was still very attractive and handsome, I couldn't deny that fact. I looked at him with a mouthwatering expression, swallowed the desire that washed over me and shut my eyes.I heard him tugging on another piece of his clothing and soon realized that it was his pants. Although I tried not to look, my very inquisitive eyes fluttered open an
Everleigh's POV.Felix and I walked back to his living room and were greeted by the unfamiliar ambiance of loud music and happy people."True love wins in the end, I'm so happy for you two." A man who Felix later introduced to me as his closest male friend said. He was stout with beautiful brown eyes and wavy black hair. He had an edgy look with leather jackets and distressed jeans. His dimples were revealed as a smile lit up his well-carved face, showing off his diastema. "Felix has loved you for as long as you were away, Everleigh. You don't know how much it means to him that you both are together now."I looked at him and then I looked at Felix. I could see how uncomfortable Felix was and how forced the smile he wore was. I blushed slightly, trying to hide how I truly felt. I felt very sad because Felix and I were lying to the world. To everyone who cared about us."Thanks, man," Felix said, wearing an uneasy facial expression. "We deeply appreciate you all coming out to cele
Felix's POV.I shut the door behind me and looked around me to make sure that no one was near. I then took the call. "Go on, I'm listening. And be fast, I don't have forever." I said in a whisper."I am tired of sneaking around, Felix. I want to stop playing this game with you." Her voice on the other end trembled as she spoke."You do not know what this action might cost you, dear. I have made it clear to you before. Need I remind you again? It appears you suffer memory loss of some sort. For goodness' sake, Laura, we have already begun. All you need to do is remain patient until after a few court hearings. You can then claim to withdraw the case on the account of the relationship you both shared or even debunk the charges as false.""I am not able to move about freely because the whole world thinks I was kidnapped by my best friend. I can only imagine how hard life is for her. Why the fuck am I doing this with you, Felix? What do you stand to gain? Is it really love? I saw the
Felix's POV.As we drove through the familiar path back to my mansion, Everleigh and I talked about so much. While we spoke, I uploaded the pictures taken of us by the photographers on my Instagram."These are very beautiful pictures," I said to her with a brief smile."I admit that they are." She gave a casual response."You are ageless, Ever. You're beautiful and it's almost as if you never age." I compared the recent pictures with the ones we took years back when she and I were still together. "We look good together," I added, hoping not to upset her.She was on her phone and so didn't pay any attention to my words. "Clyde just texted me." She said with a bland expression on her face, finally looking up at me. She let out a sigh and then she tossed the phone to the chair of the car."What did his message say?" I took her phone and read the text with a broad smile on my face. Finally, every bit of my plan was coming together. I looked at her with pity, wondering if she deserved
Everleigh's POV."We are going to have a real wedding for a fake proposal?" I asked Felix as we both posed in front of the many cameramen. "Yes, we are," He retorted. "What do you think?""I think we are taking this thing too far.""We will talk about this later, when we get home." Felix said, holding my hand as the photographer had demonstrated. He gave me the most passionate gaze ever, It appeared as if he loved me genuinely. Click! The light beamed and the photographer's face lit up with a smile. "That was beautiful," He said to us. "Pull her closer." Felix had his hands on my butt as he pulled me close. The familiar way he used to grab my butt cheeks. A smile parted my lips as I crossed my arms around his neck. It was a real smile. I didn't realize how much I missed Felix.Pictures flashed back to me as his hands gently squeezed my arse and the smile on my lips widened. The first night he and I had gotten intimate, I was eighteen. I met him when I was seventeen and he had wa
Everleigh's POV."Everleigh, this is what I have waited and hoped for. " Felix said to me as the pianist turned down the volume of the music. "Fifteen years ago, I planned our proposal. I was going to make you mine. But then I fucked up, I admit I did. And you left me for Clyde. You appeared happy so there was nothing I could do. I let you both be happy together.""Please stand," I said with a whisper. I doubt he heard me because he remained there and continued speaking. "You don't know how much it means to me that you let me be in the picture again after many years. You also don't know how much it means to me that I am able to make that dream come true.""What are you doing, Felix?" I finally said out loud, still stunned. Felix took my hand and continued to speak. "I know that you have no romantic feelings towards me and that's okay.""If you know that I don't like you, why are you proposing that I marry you?""The marriage would be false.""Please stand up, Felix." I was flush
Everleigh's POV.We arrived at a fancy restaurant and his driver opened the door for us to walk out. "Stay here and wait for us, we'll be back in two hours." He said to the young man who gave a nod and re-entered the car. Felix held my hand as we both found our way into the eatery. "Wow!" I felt my jaw drop as I looked around me. The entrance was marked by grand, double doors of dark mahogany, flanked by lanterns, their soft glow casting a welcoming light. "What is going on?" I asked Felix, casting a glance at him. "I'm giving you a treat as the goddess that you are." He led me towards an exquisitely furnished room. As we stepped inside, we were greeted by an air of sophistication and a beautiful door lady who showed us to the hall.The room was empty and there was just a table and two plush velvet chairs in the whole room, situated at the center. The walls were adorned with rich and original artworks and the tables were draped in very fine linen. Their surfaces were set with
Everleigh's POV.I felt a light tap on my shoulder and my eyes fluttered open. I looked at the lanky man standing before me with a broad smile. His beards appeared slightly bushy, I wondered why I hadn't noticed that in the morning. Regardless, he was a beautiful man. His lips parted in a smile and I felt the rage within me slowly disappear."Welcome," I said to him, sitting up on the bed."Thanks, beautiful. What have you been up to?""Not so much, just destroying the camera you installed in my bedroom.""What?""The cleaners already got rid of the broken bits but you ought to know what I mean. You installed a camera in my bedroom, Felix. Just when I thought I could trust you. Why the hell would you?""I don't get what you're saying." He sounded genuinely confused."Are you saying you didn't install any camera here?""No, ma'am. Why the fuck would I do that?" He threw his hands up in the air, his face showing more confusion than defense."Well, then who was it that had a camera in
EverleighHis masculine voice said words that I had been craving to hear. "I love you!" Although I wasn't completely conscious, my eyes fluttered in excitement.When I opened my eyes, what I saw changed my life. It felt like a dream, I couldn't believe it. Slowly, my vision cleared. Clyde stood with his back against me, his hands around the neck of someone.Something is wrong - he was whispering to someone I couldn't see. He'd told her he loved her, not me. I swallowed hard and squinted in an attempt to get a closer look. The headache that followed was too much to bear, and so I shut my eyes again and listened rather, not wanting to make them realize that I was awake. Like a nightmare, the clock ticked slowly, my heart beat rapidly, and moments passed. Whispers were exchanged. I heard all of it."You did promise you'd divorce her. What's the holdup?" The lady asked impatiently. Her voice sounded familiar."Hold on, baby," My husband, Clyde responded, sounding both tense and unhappy.
