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

    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

    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."I suppose it's all over." A message entered Felix's phone. I reached out and took it, watching as the sender continued to type. 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“ Really, Felix? Does our vacation mean more than the calls? I doubt that. Are you seriously hiding something from me?" I continued to flog the topic even when I knew it got Felix pissed.I didn't know why I couldn't just stop. I tried, but it ended In a colossal loss. My hormones were crazier than I ever thought.Felix got tired of everything. “Hiding something from you? Jeez! You know what, Ever, I want us to enjoy ourselves. Especially you. I don't want anything disturbing your peace of mind during this vacation.Please can you just let us focus on the reason we're going to Pennsylvania? It's more important than all of these calls, and I'm not keeping anything from you either." Felix's expression heightened suspicion more than his distress. It was all clear that he was keeping something away from me.“ It's fine." My hormones give me a chance at least.Felix didn't respond. Rather, he focused more on the road, his mind completely disturbed.For quite some time, we didn'

    FelixWe got inside the eatery, and I couldn't fathom how sweet I and Everleigh would become. I could see how Everleigh had fallen deeply for me just by my words and actions. Cool. Things are beginning to hit in my favor. Love first, and then revenge.I smiled at my decision while we sat at the table to eat, my eyes focused on Everleigh. She was all smiley too.Goodness, she must think I'm being real with this faked kindness of mime. How did I go with winning her this completely?Usually, Everleigh used to be stubborn and very firm with her decision, the reason I respected her, but right now, the woman sitting before my eyes is just a vulnerable, frail young woman. A piece of cake to smash.“ This place Is cool and expensive. What a luxury," Everleigh exclaimed exasperatingly.I nodded. " Hmm, I agree with you, darling, but this luxury can only be Worth the woman I love. I’d go broke to live in this luxury with you, Ever”“ What the fuck! You're such a dummy, Felix. Why would you go

    Felix“ Oh, cut the crap, Laura. What do you mean by that? What are you talking about?" I flared softly on the phone, my eyes flickering everywhere to be sure Everleigh didn't bump into me unconsciously.“ It's Clyde, Felix. He wants us married as soon as possible" The suspense in Laura's voice intensified.“ Then what has that got to do with me? You can go ahead and marry him for all I care" My anger grew inside.“ But this isn't the plan, remember? You know you're deviating from our original plans.Firstly, you and Everleigh traveled out of Wellington to god knows where. Gosh, Felix, have you fallen cheaply for Ever right now?What are all of the twisted backup plans you have that I don't know about? You promised to give me what I wanted and now you're doing otherwise? What's with the feelings for Everleigh? What?”Laura was frustrated. Her voice showed how greatly disappointed she was."

    FelixI had to rush Everleigh to a hospital that was described to me by the hotel staff. She just passed out again and hasn't regained consciousness.Immediately, I drove to the hospital, and two nurses hurried to help bring Everleigh inside the ER.“ Is she going to be fine?" I panicked, asking the nurses to be sure nothing happened to Everleigh.“ She will be fine; we'd like you to remain in the reception for now till we find out what Is wrong with her, sir," One of the nurses said as we approached the ER, and the door was immediately shut before I could realize it.I went blank. “What have I done?” I hit myself hard in the head as I leaned by the wall just close to the door of the ER.After standing there for a few minutes, I saw a nurse coming out of the ward and my heart sank in fear.“ How's she? Did anything bad happen to her?" I rushed to the nurse, who seemed distressed.“ It's complicated, Sir. Please excuse me, I have to call the doctor." She hurried out of my sight In a f

She never told me. And this broke me inside.Since we got back, I ensured I stayed beside Eveleigh just to make her happy and comfortable.A feeling of relegation surged me, and at some point, I wanted to stop being kind and doting around Everleigh, but I still found myself pushing harder just to earn her trust.That morning, I got out of bed and hurried to Everleigh's room to check up on her first.I knocked at the door, and in less than two minutes, Everleigh opened the door, and I walked in.“ Good morning, dear. Did you sleep well?" I pulled her into my arms and hugged her.She heaved heavily, showing a sign of restlessness, but she never responded to me. Instead, she buried her face in my chest.Seeing t

    EverleighFelix returned home the next day, and I decided to show him the threatening messages I had been receiving lately.I guess this was the same person from the last time while we were in Pennsylvania. Although the phone number was different, I knew It must be the same person.Felix took the phone to go through the message himself. I showed him the first one but he was mad at me for being in danger and keeping it all to myself.“Why did you keep this away from me?" He fumed." I'm sorry. I was just frightened by the message; that is why I didn't tell you,” I explained, yet Felix refused to listen.“ I will find out who the person is and deal with whoever they are," Felix said in a strangling voice.He was all moody when he got back from Las Vegas. I also was too scared to ask him about his trip. Somehow, I feel Felix would find out the truth one day and that would be the end of us.I swallowed hard. “ It's no big deal. I think the person may just be seeking attention. Don't worr

    EverleighFelix left for his business trip, and I became somewhat bored.I have been drained of thoughts since last night. However, I tried to remain sane because of my pregnancy so I strode to the kitchen to be with Mrs Hannah. She was as kind and homely as a mother.Even though I was in the kitchen where Mrs Hannah was keeping me company, I couldn't just shake off the despair that had settled in my heart.Felix has been working for my father for three years now, and I didn't know. How?‘ Oh, Everleigh, you so dumped’ I cursed myself inside, hitting my head with a frown etched on my face.“ Are you alright, Mrs Felix?" Mrs Hannah asked when she noticed my uneasiness.“ Oh, I'm fine. Just some crazy symptoms down there" I forced a smile.Mrs Hannah understood what I was saying because she was a mother who had a grown-up daughter of my age. I told her I was pregnant and since then, she has never hesitated to shower me with motherly love and support.“ Oh, I see. It's always like that

    Felix“ This place is so refreshing and fascinating. Such a sight to behold" Everleigh turned around, admiring the beautiful restaurant I treated her to.“ I know you like it," I replied, pulling a seat for her while I sat opposite her.With my eyes darting around, I caught a glimpse of a waiter and quickly signaled him to come attend us.We placed our orders; however, before the meals came, I decided to break what seemed like good news to Everleigh and discuss our wedding together.“ Why are you staring at me that way? Do you want to consume me with those lusty eyes?" She chuckled when I kept staring at her, thinking how to break the good news." You know I can't get over you, right? You’re my greatest obsession”" Then you're going to die being a pathetic lover boy” She laughed." I don't mind. As long as it's you I'm dying for, then I can remain a pathetic lover. Anyway, I have things to say to you" I pulled my seat to kiss the breast of the table.“ Okay, let's hear it. And it be

    FelixKnowing that Laura was about to expose my hidden agenda before Everleigh made me rush from my room to first find Everleigh.While I left in search of Ever, I warned the security men at the gate to ensure they threw Laura out.I know Laura. She would destroy the gates if they refused her in. I could hear her make a fuss from the gate already.My fear was Everleigh. She was going to hate me from now on after Laura spilled everything to her.Scurrying to her room, I opened the door but she wasn't there.“ What?" My world crashed. Where could she have gone? She was not in the living room either.Flushed with the heat of a betrayal, I made my way to the gym room upstairs where she often visited to keep fit.She wasn't there either. Then I remembered I had not set my eyes on her since the day began. With the look of things, she wasn't inside the mansion.Perhaps, she might be outside in the garden which was about Forty-five minute walk from the gates.If Everleigh is outside, then my

    FelixI didn't sleep that night as I kept battling with different thoughts. Our wedding was In seven days yet Everleigh never cared about anything. She's so selfish.Although the marriage was just a contract marriage, I intended on making it a huge one, at least, to make Cylde jealous, but I was beginning to think otherwise because of Everleigh’s late behavior.Glaring at all the gifts I got for her that were just dumped on my bed, a feeling of despair washed over me.Since I was struggling to get a good sleep because of her, I called Grace to get some sleeping pills for me. I have never done that before.Grace got the pills and I didn't hesitate to try them out. In my mind, I thought the drugs would start reacting immediately but it didn't.Rather, It ended up giving me some chills and a throbbing headache just by the left side of my head.“ Alcohol would do," I said and walked to my wine cellar to get my favorite drink, Romanee Conti, to consume.While I walked hopelessly from the w

    Felix“ What Is it that you found, Rose? I'm all ears" I pulled my chair forward, desperate to hear what Rose had to say.“ Hold on. I will show you something" Rose said and brought out her laptop to show me something.I waited patiently until Rose powered her laptop before she showed me a picture of some little kid of about ten years.“ Do you know her?" She asked as we studied the picture together.I shook my head. “ No. Who's the little kid?" I raised my curious face to her.“ She's your partner, Everleigh"I turned the laptop to myself to have a clear view of the photo.“ She looks different," I replied, struggling to believe it.“ That was when she was ten years old. I have been doing a deep search about her and had to track the elementary school she attended. I found out that the elementary school she attended was located in Las Vegas. There's a thin line that she could be a citizen there, either by birth or naturalization.For now, this is the only piece of information I have

    FelixLaura and I met as usual In a hotel the following evening. She wasn't moved by what she did the last time. She didn't even apologize for stabbing me but I spared her foul temper this one time.I ordered something light and we began to eat without speaking to each other. I didn't tell Everleigh I was going to stay back late while I was leaving for the office in the morning. She has been avoiding and keeping to herself lately, so I gave her the space she wanted.Cutleries clicked against dishes as I and Laura ate silently without looking into each other's eyes.When I was ready to speak up, I took the clean napkin on the table and wiped my lips.“ Why have you been avoiding my calls since last night? You were lying in the hands of your lover and enemy, I guess." I put a little smile on my face and raised my gaze to Laura.She didn't respond till she finished her food and drank enough wine. Laura's table etiquette quirks. She can never be compared to my Polished Everleigh." Why d

    EverleighThe morning sun pierced my eyes and I winked while wiping my eyes. I was very weak with this throbbing headache that made me look more miserable.Last night was pretty depressing for me. I tend to be too emotional these days. I cry about the most silly things ever.Ever since Felix told me that Laura had been found, I never took it seriously because the story behind her release was just too generic. Even the blind would know that it was all fake.But yesterday, after I saw a viral post made by my ex-husband, I pinched myself hard to wake up from slumber.Perhaps, I was the only one not on the planet. Things were happening fast before my eyes but I have been naive and completely oblivious to them all.Laura being abducted, and Clyde suddenly proposing marriage to her was one of the things that I had never cared to investigate.I wasn't against their relationship but the fact that I was living like some corpse made me cry.
