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
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
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
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
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
Clyde“ Bullshit! What the fuck are you telling me, huh? How did I ever come in contact with a mediocre person like you? How on earth do I and my ex-wife get the same share of my properties?” I bashed my lawyer, Mr Clinton Blarks." You’ve got to calm down Mr Clyde. The court made this decision themselves. I tried my best—”" Your best wasn't good enough, barrister Clinton. I paid you enough money to ensure none of my properties are shared with my ex-wife. She got the same shares as me, that's the problem" My anger continued to burn.Mr Clinton had yet to say a word when I immediately hung up on him.“ Argh!" I brawled, hitting my hands vigorously on the desk.Three years ago, I and Everleigh had worked hard to build the two companies I'm running today. Since it was a joint effort, we named the company after us; Cylde and Everleigh.We have our head office here in Wellington and another smaller branch in ****. I was vexed when the court took their decision in favor of Eveleigh. She's
ClydeDriving to WACOM Group, I tightened my fist ready to punch Felix In the face.Getting to the company, I packed a distance away and remained in the car observing the serene environment, which thereafter caused the rage in me to quench.Signing, I narrowed my eyes away from the serene environment. What was I even thinking? Stooping low to confront Felix in his company? That’s absurd.A feeling of lack of self-worth flooded through me, and I recoiled, hitting the steering wheel hard. I couldn't shake off the feelings that Felix seemed to be doing better than I was.Gritting my teeth in disappointment, I hummed the car and clenched my fist tightly to the steering wheel to drive away, but my eyes caught with a red Lexus car driving out of the company.My eyes almost bulged out of its socket as I watched the car drive out.“ Isn't that Laura's car?" I asked no one as I kept observing from the windshield If what I was seeing was true.The red car navigated, and I waited inside my car
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
