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." Look Laura, whatsoever going on between me and Everleigh is none of your business. We have

    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

    FelixThe morning sun cast a lovely glow on the earth, illuminating the walls of the city.It's been two days since we returned from the hospital to the hotel and Eveleigh has been acting moody and strange.I swear that I didn't know what Doctor Roberson discussed with Eveleigh. 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

    EverleighI left the hotel without the knowledge of Felix. I needed somewhere quiet to relax my mind, so I began to walk aimlessly down the road.The street was cool and lovely, carrying a gentle breeze that blew life and strength to me. Also, soft music thrilled from afar, helping my mind that was a whirlwind of thoughts.As I walked ghostly, smiling aimlessly to myself to the sensation of the music that pierced my ears, my phone began to ring. It was Felix.I didn't bother taking his calls. This was the twelfth time he would call. I wonder what he must be going through at the moment because of me. I have caused him a lot already.A lot was happening that I needed to figure out myself. Felix can't keep doting on me forever.Firstly, Clyde’s seed kept growing peacefully Inside of me, and to make matters worse, I didn't know what to do with the kids. Whether to terminate or birth them. If I bring them to life, they would constantly keep reminding me of Clyde, whom I have crossed my m

    ClydeTo my surprise, Laura hugged the guy tightly and pushed her phone to me to take a picture of her and the guy together.Both know each other very well. He is a famous artist and songwriter from London.What the fuck.I helplessly took pictures of them together but my burning eyes and adrenaline rush didn't allow me to take good ones. All were all blurry from jealousy, hate, and rejection.When I gave Laura back her phone to check the pictures out, she got mad at me and demanded I take better ones.My anger grew. I could just punch the dude's hawkish nose but I feared Laura. She doesn't mind ending our happy marriage.So, I kept mute, complying in obedience to Laura's will even though I was mad inside.I handed Laura the phone once I was done.“ Good boy" She squealed, shattering my hair like I was her kid brother.“ Baddie, hit me up, alright?

    ClydeThe news about Madison Clark's death shocked me, but it served her right. She can't try to make life unbearable for others and go scot-free. Her evil bounced back to her.“ Cheers, everyone." I raised my glass of champagne and we all collided with our glass together.Two days ago was my wedding, but the celebration is still ongoing even now. A few of my friends and some of my staff still visited, including James, my assistant.“ You seem to be super excited. What's the secret, or I guess it's your beautiful wife, right?" Dirk, one of my old friends, smirked at me and Laura giggled."You should get married soon, young man. Marriage is a blessing from God. I miss my wife already," James answered, but that wasn't enough to convince my promiscuous friend, Dirk. He wasn't ready for those shitty stuff.Dirk scoffed. “ Come on, men. Marriage is a whole responsibility. Can't put up with the whole shitty thing. It's entirely crazy" Dirk gulped his champagne. He was already nauseated by

    FelixI hurried home that day to be with my wife. Earlier, I had sent Rose to be with her until I returned.Mr Clark called while I was away. He sounded like he was going to give up soon. Truthfully, Madison was the only child he believed he still had after Everleigh faked her death many years ago.Guess this was the time to take Everleigh back to him. I have been thinking about it, but I wanted us to go for our honeymoon first before traveling to Las Vegas. Now that fate has taken its course; I think I should hurry before Mr. Clark does something deadly to himself.Maybe Everleigh's presence will bring consolation to him.Today, I was in the hospital and had seen Madison's corpse before it was taken to the morgue. She died alongside her three bodyguards after their vehicle ran under a heavy truck around 7:21 pm last night.She had been immediately rushed to a good hospital after the accident. However, all efforts to save her proved abortive. According to the doctor In charge, she br

    Eveleigh“ What's going on Felix?" I asked worriedly as Felix immediately hung up on the phone.I gasped, looking into Felix’s eyes, but he was not ready to get me a response. From the cold expression on his face, I could tell that all wasn't well.“ You ain't saying a word. What is the matter?" I protested and he simply drew me to himself, his face clouded with shock." Let's just go home okay, I have somewhere important to be this minute”" No, Felix. I'm not permitting you to leave if you don't tell me what's going on. If we would be together, then you should be accountable to me,” My voice was firm, enough to make Felix change his attitude towards me.I have ignored too much. Felix keeps me in the dark, acting secretly. Why? I am the woman in his life. If there's anyone he shouldn't hide stuff from, then it should be me.“ You know I love you, right" Felix kissed my forehead, trying to fool me.“ I know. But I'm not going to give you the chance to fool me" I replied boldly.Felix

    EveleighAs the birds chirped their melodious but disturbing love song, I faintly opened my eyes but immediately shut them back and returned to my peaceful sleep.I was all wrapped in the hands of the man I love. That alone made my sleep peaceful.However, a call from Felix's phone forced me to open my eyes.I located Felix's phone, which was under the pillow where my head lay, and immediately put it off.Opening my eyes, I caught a glimpse of Felix's clothes and mine flung carelessly on the floor, and a beautiful smile snickered my lips.Last night was my best night ever. The sweet memories of all that happened and how it happened caused me to keep smiling to myself alone.We both were stripped on the bed and instead of recoiling, it only made me happy.Glaring at Felix who was still fast asleep, I kissed his forehead and folded myself in his hands again.Felix didn't move an inch. His breath only kept thumping peacefully and calmly.Despite how many kisses I kept giving him he only

    FelixBolton Hotel that night was quite a sight to behold. It was very difficult to tell it was late because of the extra lighting the huge chandeliers gave.The hotel also had elegant and spacious suits that suited Everleigh's taste.So, I made a reservation for an executive suite to spend the night with my lover.“ I love the air and peace in this environment." Eveleigh shut her eyes, inhaling the sterile air as we walked inside the suite.“ Sure. It is secured as well" I added, then sat on the sofa.Everleigh loved visiting new places, so I allowed her to explore the apartment while I sat in the living room replying to some messages on my phone.After five minutes, I joined her in the master's bedroom.“ Let's go explore the beautiful places and the beach outside.” I took her hands, and we retired from the suite.The lovely dark clouds and the cool breeze by the beach side made me want to spend the entire night outside.We sat wrapped in each other's hands by the beach side, watch

    EveleighAt dusk that same day, Felix told me he had a surprise for me and that we should go somewhere special to spend the night together.I agreed and we went together to our room—Felix’s room.Throughout the day, I noticed I was quite fulfilled and thankful, especially to Felix, who had stood by me during the devastating storms and had dragged me away from making the worst mistakes ever.I would have killed my children just because I was clouded with the pain and betrayal of their biological father, Cylde. Had Felix not intervened, I would've regretted my actions throughout my lifetime.Life with Cylde was a pathetic story for me but life with Felix is unexplainable love and happiness.At first, I thought Felix had ulterior motives for wanting us to get married. I thought him being extra kind to me was just a way to get me into loving him before he thought of taking his revenge on me.However, I was all wrong. Felix is the last person who would hurt me.

    FelixGazing at the young man walking majestically from the door, I suddenly became nostalgic about some events that took place when I was a teenage boy.The young man who just walked in looked like my cousin who went missing when we were just fifteen. His name is Ethan Foster. It's been a whole thirteen years now. Neither I nor his parents have set our eyes on him.“ Good day, sir" The young Man genuflected with a handsome smile playing on his face. He waited for my response before sitting down.“ Please sit," I said, my eyes scanning him intelligently. No doubt he was Ethan’s lookalike. There was not much difference.“ Thank you." He pulled the seat and sat.Aside from the feeling inside me, I already loved the young man from the moment he walked in.From the look of things, he should be in his late twenties, and if I am accurate, that should be the age of my lost cousin, Ethan Foster." Tell me everything about yourself” I was keen on hearing the young man speak.Somehow, I kept be

Not even lying to me made me hate her.It's been four days since we got married. By now, Everleigh was supposed to have resumed work in her company but I told her to hold on till our honeymoon was over. We were planning to travel to a faraway country for relaxation.While we took our time to plan on a peaceful environment to relocate to for our honeymoon, I ensured that every item Cylde took from E.C Enterprise to the other company was replaced.That morning, I got a call from one of our partners and had to leave the house early to meet up. I also have an appointment with Everleigh's new doctor at 1pm, and an interview to conduct by 10am in the company.
