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
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.
Everleigh"Do you plan on marrying me?" The guy who was with me in the room asked, wearing a mischievous grin."Lol, no. But I called you over because I wanted you to..."Before I could complete my statement, I heard footsteps approaching. We both looked at the door, in anticipation for who it was coming to my hospital room.I knew it was Clyde, which left me both excited and angry. I couldn't wait to see the look on his face when he walked in and saw who I was with, by this time of the night. I was yet to get over what I witnessed earlier between him and Laura. To make things worse was the sudden appearance of Madison. Regardless, my mind was made up. I was done with the marriage and I wasn't going to leave quietly. It was a Saturday evening, and the moonlight streamed through the window, casting shadows across the bedroom floor. When Clyde shuttled into the room, I watched his face turn pale as he saw me sitting up on the hospital bed, next to my ex boyfriend.He shone a piercin
EverleighI picked up my phone to call Felix, when I heard a knock on the door. I looked at the door that bulged open, and my gaze caught the handsome, tall blonde doctor. He smiled at me, with a report in his hand.The doctor strode towards my bed, his white coat billowing behind him like a cape. He had a bounce in his step as he approached me. Whatever he had to tell me seemed positive, I was relieved. I had waited the whole morning for the medical report, I couldn't wait for the news for another second.“Am I going to die?” I asked him, sitting up on the bed.“Far from it,” He replied. Standing next to my bed and looking down at me. "Mrs Ever, dear, I have good news." He was grinning from ear to ear. I guessed correctly, it was good news."Well, spill it and let me get out of here. I was to be discharged this morning, but you kept me here till now." I looked up at the clock above my head, then continued, "It's almost noon Dr Robin. I'm sorry if I sound uneasy but I indeed am. I
EverleighMy heels clicked against the hospital floor as I made my way to the exit. Felix wrapped his hand around my waist, a mischievous grin on his face. We were headed for the hospital hall. He must have dreamt of this day for so long. And in contrast, this was my biggest fear. But we are both happy now. I am excited to be free, and he's excited to be with me again. And get his revenge."This is going to be so dramatic," Felix whispered, feeling slightly nervous and excited as we got closer."You have always loved drama. Don't you remember six years ago?!""You still haven't forgiven me, Ever. You are so strange." Felix rolled his eyes.Before I could reply, we were in the hospital hallway. Clyde stood at the far end, walking towards my ward. A few nurses had walked past Felix and I, but they were too busy to stop and look. Some patients who weren't in a critical condition couldn't help but stand in awe, gazing at the scene that was about to play out."What the fuck is going on
EverleighThe driver set out, leaving the hospital. I sat in the backseat of the car with Felix beside me and watched as he peered out of the windshield and scanned the area. He seemed unsure of where to go next. It appeared that he was hesitant to ask Felix where to take us. Felix noticed the uncertainty in his slow driving and spoke up. "Gerald, take us to my place.""Right away, sir!" The driver responded and matched the pedal. "Your house, Felix?" I turned to look at him. "I didn't consent to that.""I know, Ever. But I think it's best because...""Because you miss me?" I asked him with a frown. "Because you wish to bond with me.""No! I mean, I did miss you. But that's not the only reason I want you to come with me to my house. We spotted Laura next to this car moments ago. And somehow, she vanished into thin air. Do you think that is plain? They want to set you up, Ever. I'm so sure of it.""What does any of that have to do with your house? Let them do their worst!""I want
EverleighOne of his domestic workers set my luggage down in the entryway. Felix led me inside his mansion, a smile on his face. "Welcome to my home," he said with a sparkle in his eyes. "Welcome home."I looked at him but said no words. I was lost in thoughts. The Felix that I knew from many years back was different from this man with me here. That man was a pauper, this man is a multi billionaire."Where are we going?" I asked him as we ascended the flight of stairs. "You'll see," He responded, not stopping.He pushed a door open and I strolled into a room that left my mouth agape. "Is this your bedroom?" It was too feminine to be his."No, queen. This is your bedroom." For some minutes I paused, savoring the awesomeness of the room with my eyes wide open. It was like something out of a fairy tale, with a large, luxurious bed in the center, draped in white satin. The walls were painted with my favourite shade of pink, and the furniture was made of mahogany. There were fresh dandeli

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
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

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 n
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
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
EverleighWhat the hell was Madison doing in Pennsylvania? How did she know I was here? My heart sank with fear.Now I understand what she meant during her last visit. Madison is the last person who would ever wish to see me live happily.I watched her as I and Felix left the reception. I wasn't sure if Felix recognized her. He barely looks at women.Things have become more complicated than I ever thought. Madison had given a condition some days back: to leave Felix and return to Clyde, who never loved me, or die a miserable death.“ Sit, I have ordered something else for you. The breakfast I ordered earlier has become cold. You need something hot"Felix said to me as we entered our apartment and slammed the door. All that he was saying never meant anything to me because of Madison.“ Did you see the tall woman in the reception? I mean, the one who wore a short leather shirt and Jacket?" I asked Felix to be sure he never saw Madison.Felix frowned. “What lady are you talking about,
