A Kiss And Many Lies Chapter 1
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

Everleigh's POV.Felix sat next to me on the bed with a damp cloth on his hand, placed on my head. "I thought the doctor said you've recovered. I don't understand why you had to throw up everything you ate. "I have recovered," I answered, shutting my eyes. The room spun like a merry go round and the bed felt like a moving vehicle. I tried my best to stay calm. "I'll be fine, I promise. I just need to rest.""I'm worried. You fell on your way to the bathroom. I suppose it's because you were dizzy. We need to know what is causing you weakness. Secondly, that is your favorite meal in the world, yet you threw it all up. I think we should go to a hospital. Maybe a different one, this time.""The food was nice, just that it was not spicy enough." "And the collapsing?" "Leave me alone, Felix. I'm just tired. I'm tired and I'm hungry." I felt bad that I was lying to him, especially because he showed genuine concern. But how could I tell him the truth? He hated Clyde so much, I couldn't

Everleigh's POV.I stirred gently on the bed and then I parted my eyelids. I looked at the clock above my head and it was almost ten in the morning. I stood from the bed and shuttled towards the window. I opened the curtains and looked down below. I drew in the fresh morning air and a smile lit up my face. This was a new beginning for me.A hand wrapped around my waist and I felt someone breathe on my skin. I immediately turned around, to see Felix standing behind me with a beautiful smile. "I hope that wasn't inappropriate?" He said to me as he walked with me, back to my bed."Good morning," I replied, perching on the edge of the bed. "Did you sleep well?""Not a wink. We have so much going on at work, I'll be leaving in a few minutes. I came up to check on you before but you weren't awake. I'm glad you're up now. I came to tell you that I'll be leaving and ask if there's something you'll be needing.""I'll be needing nothing, but you can get me anything you want on your way ba

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

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

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

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

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

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

FelixLaura and I met as usual In a hotel the following evening. She wasn't moved by what she did the last time. She didn't even apologize for stabbing me but I spared her foul temper this one time.I ordered something light and we began to eat without speaking to each other. I didn't tell Everleigh I was going to stay back late while I was leaving for the office in the morning. She has been avoiding and keeping to herself lately, so I gave her the space she wanted.Cutleries clicked against dishes as I and Laura ate silently without looking into each other's eyes.When I was ready to speak up, I took the clean napkin on the table and wiped my lips.“ Why have you been avoiding my calls since last night? You were lying in the hands of your lover and enemy, I guess." I put a little smile on my face and raised my gaze to Laura.She didn't respond till she finished her food and drank enough wine. Laura's table etiquette quirks. She can never be compared to my Polished Everleigh." Why d

EverleighRose 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.

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
