Everleigh

Rose was sitting comfortably on the sofas in the living room with her polished exterior and her sweet smell filled the air, provoking attention.

I saw how she consciously raised her face from her phone when she heard footsteps from the stairs which made her smile grow when she noticed I was the one.

Respectfully, she stood up, her head up high and her hands crossed against itself In a way that shows loyalty and simplicity.

“ Rose, dear" I called when I was still far away, putting a sweet smile on my face.

She smiled and greeted me at once.

“ Good morning, ma’am. Trust you had a restful night” Her melliferous voice became more syrupy, attracting me to her.

No one will come across Rose and not fall In love with her. She is a masterpiece of nature, with a beauty that surpasses description. Her bright, intelligent eyes sparkled like the sapphires and were buried in deep kindness.

Her midnight black long hair that fell across her shoulders was neatly sleeked in a polished bun t

    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

    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

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?

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

Although the phone number was different, I knew It must be the same person.Felix took the phone to go through the message himself.

    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.

    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. Everything happening was just surreal, but I went comp
