FelixMadison and I are pretty close. When I learned she was in Pennsylvania, I was excited and asked her to go over to the hotel to see me.Right now, I'm pretty confused. From the door, I heard Everleigh engaged in a heated argument with Madison, but the reason for their argument remained a misery for me. Are they close?“ Miss Clark, are You two friends?" I turned surprise at Madison, who happened to be having a heated argument with Everleigh, and then I rolled my eyes back to Everleigh.“ I thought you said you both aren't close?" I asked Everleigh, my lips paused in awe as I held the tray of food in my hands.“ Oh, come on Mr Felix, Diana here is my just a fan. You know how popular Madison Clark is, right?" Madison bragged and I became more than surprised."Diana? Who's Diana" I immediately dropped the tray in my hands on the table. Seems I have been missing out a lot.“ Can we just go talk about business?” Madison said with a feigned smile and turned to Everleigh " Sorry I h
Everleigh“ I don't understand. Why are you referring to me as Diana? Oh, is it because the Famous Madison Clark referred to me as Diana?You should know all these celebrities. They could call their fans whatever name they chose. This isn't a big deal and I am not Diana either. My idol just chose that name for me . kinda special too" I refused to play folly at this point. Felix should not find out the truth behind the name Diana. It will forever remain complicated.Felix didn't respond. He sat look at me, obviously wanting a better explanation. And with the expression on his face, I know I was about to be caught. His pale face was contorted with rage. No doubts, he knew i have been deceiving him all along.“ You know, Felix. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I lied to you that Madison and I weren't close. Actually she has been my idol and we chat like friends. There's nothing more to our what you see, okay" My explanation was a repeated one. No different from what Madison explain but Felix was
Everleigh“ I am not interested in this, Everleigh." Felix’s eyes sparkled with caution.” Meanwhile, I heard Laura's been found. The lawsuit has been terminated and dismissed by prejudice. I believe you know what that means"" Why? When was that? How did Laura get found?”Befuddled, I asked with curiosity in my voice but Felix walked away from me to the bathroom without replying to me a word.I turned to look at him. The shocking revelation was enough to get my eyes off his waist, but it didn't help me. I still found myself glaring lustfully at Felix.Once Felix became out of sight, I sank into his bed and exhaled deeply.One question kept popping in my mind. I was beginning to wonder how Felix got to know about Laura’s kidnap more than I did. Wasn't I the prime suspect? I should know more. How come I’ve been blank all this while? Those thoughts kept hoarding my mind.A few minutes later, Felix returned from the bathroom with his towel tied loosely on his waist while a few drops of wat
EverleighThe morning sun rose with a hew of orange and white glint on the earth.I woke up very early to begin to prepare for our trip to Wellington. It's going to be a long journey and I need to pack my stuff and get myself ready.Since yesterday's fight, Felix has never checked on me, whether I was alright or dying. This was unlike him. Usually, it wouldn't take up to twenty minutes after our fight and Felix would come apologizing even if I was the one at fault.I guess the hand of the time still turns right? But it's fine. I have my life to worry about, especially my pregnancy. I have concluded in mind not to have Clyde's kids. Once I return to Wellington, I should book an appointment with a good doctor to take them off. I needed a balanced life.That morning, I was so famished that I could devour anything that came my way.I didn't want to bother Felix about anything again, So I took the intercom in my room to order some coffee and toasted bread. That should do for now.In no
FelixWe didn't go to the hospital again that day. Everleigh, with weak eyes and a rumbling stomach, kept pointing lazily at the breakfast she had ordered earlier.I messed up a big deal. I should have taken the food to her as soon as it was delivered to me but I blatantly refused, holding to the pain that Everleigh caused me like I too had never lied to her.We sat together In the living room and I practically fed her. To my surprise, she gobbled everything.“ You're this hungry? I'm sorry…For acting this way towards you” my words hung In the air. I went too extreme with my actions. This was very uncalled for.From the way Everleigh avoided my blue eyes, I knew she didn't want to talk to me. Usually, she used to be very egotistical and would stubbornly stick to her decisions no matter what, so I didn't mind her behavior.Everleigh ate and recovered her strength. Then, she suddenly fell asleep on the sofa without saying a word to me.While she slept, I pulled her close, allowing her t
EverleighWhen I woke up, I found Felix sitting by my side with his head resting on the couch. Maybe he was catching some sleep because his eyes were shut.The movement of my body caught his attention and he opened his eyes slightly.“ Are you okay?" He asked me and I nodded my head as a sign that I was just fine.I remember we were to leave Pennsylvania that morning so I asked, “ When are we leaving for Wellington?*" That will be by noon tomorrow. I can't just put you at risk of driving a far distance. I'm not that heartless” Felix did not look at me for once while he spoke.I noticed his cold behavior towards me from the way he was responding to me.“ We could have just managed, Felix. I was only hungry and not sick. Thanks anyway, that was so thoughtful of you. I will be in my room right now"I stood up to leave but Felix's voice interrupted me.“ I'm sorry for everything” Moments Felix apologized, it seemed something died in me and I gave a deep breath.Defrosted, I turned to
ClydeI couldn't just shake off the feelings that Laura has been found. Today marked it the third day the police found where her abductors hid her. Thank goodness nothing happened to her. She had been kidnapped the very day she left Everleigh and I in the hospital. It was the same day Felix came to visit Everleigh too.That fool, Felix. He was going to eat the remaining crumbs from my table. He can go ahead and have Everleigh for as long as he wants.Afterall, he was created to get leftovers. And for all I care, Everleigh is one worthless woman who can never be compared to Laura. Felix can just continue with her.“ Hopeless Fools" I burst out laughing as I stood tall by the mirror to dress up.My eyes narrowed to the small squared- shaped box that sparkled with beauty and I took it and smiled to myself. It was the expensive diamond engagement ring I got from France the time I had visitedAs I opened it, the glint from the gemstone penetrated my eyes and I blink uncharacteristicall
Clyde“ Hey babe. Oh my goodness, please I'm sorry" Laura apologized, running towards me.I noticed it was a man that dropped her off but his identity remained unknown to me. He drove off immediately and dropped Laura.“ What's the meaning of this, Laura? Where are you coming from by this time?Do you know what this action of yours has cost me? And who the hell is that jerk that dropped you off?” my anger burned towards Laura. I couldn't believe that all my efforts in fixing our engagement party ended up for a reason best known to Laura.She finally walked up to me and immediately put on a pitiful face and hugged me.“ Oh, come on, Laura" I pulled her from her, angry. “ I need an explanation!"" I swear, I never planned any of these” She began to sob. " Actually, I would have been here since 4pm. But I drove into some goons who took my car and almost molested me…”" Huh” I grabbed Laura's shoulders, checking her out In fear if she was injured or something. “ Did they lay a finger on
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? Don't keep Pop waiting.” The guy smirked at her before he left.“ Sure, I will," Laura excitedly walked back to me." Oh, my goodness. Can
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. He might not be my real husb
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
FelixAfter hearing all the secrets Everleigh has been keeping away from me, I became more attached to her.In the past, she only ran away from home because Madison wanted her dead and I didn't blame her for her actions. 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. I was going to be swapped throughout the day, but I have to find a way around my schedule.Kylie had already fixed m
