Felix

Laura has become a nuisance to me. She keeps barging Into my office unannounced to cause a ruckus.

Three days ago, she had come to threaten me in my office because she felt I bribed the jury into favoring Everleigh instead of her boyfriend, Cylde.

With her empty words, she threatened to cause havoc in my wedding and I dared her to if she was tired of living.

That morning, I spent only two hours in the office. Tomorrow was my wedding and I needed to go to see Cylde to get the documents of transfer of property from him, including all valuable documents of E.C Enterprise.

Cylde insisted that Everleigh come to sign the documents, but I refused. I don't want him to ever set his eyes on my woman again. Everleigh's body had changed. Although her baby bump was yet to be noticed, it was unsafe for her to meet Clyde.

Earlier today, Rose called telling me that she dug some more hidden truth about Everleigh. She wanted to come over, but I told her to keep whatever information she had till

    EverleighI narrowed my gaze straight to the entrance door.My gaze met with that of a sophisticated woman striding inside the church with a sinister grimace on her face.The fact that her heels kept creating cacophony on the hard marble floor drew the attention of one-third of the congregation seated, to her. This was purposeful.I was right. She would surely show up. She has warned me severally to stay away from anything called happiness and embrace my misery. My heart began to pound at the very presence of Madison. What If she hurt me?Honestly, I don't know what will befall me today. But whatever it is, I know I'd survive it.Madison's interruption caused the priest to re-read my vows because everyone was virtually distracted by Madison's presence.“ Will you, Everleigh Peters, take Felix Foster, as your lawful wedded husband?" He asked again and my eyes met with Felix.I trusted that Felix could read the fear in my eyes, so he gave me a warm smile with his expression showing how

    FelixThe party was almost coming to an end. I stood with my guests, including my employees, discussing them.Something is wrong somewhere. I kept glaring at my around wondering why Everleigh hadn't returned from where she went.“ Cheers to a happy married life, boss" my employees cheered me up.Those niggas were bunches of distraction. I wanted to go in search of Everleigh but they kept insisting I have more glasses of wine with them.“ Ok guys! Just this one last time, okay?” I said with seriousness on my face." Come on, boss. We're just happy for you. You should be thankful for once” one complained.“ Just this last time" I snapped.Gina was another huge distraction. She kept mixing strong liquors together and serving everyone even though she wasn't part of those hired to serve.She came to me and handed me another glass; something strong that's unknown to me.“ Everyone, cheers to the latest couple in Wellington," Gina announced loudly.“ Cheers!" Everyone chorused synchronously

    FelixI woke up the following morning to the throbbing pain at the back of my head where I was hurt the last time by the goons sent after my life by Laura.“ Damn it!" I mumbled groggily, massaging the affected area.Stretching and yawning, I opened my eyes to sit up on the bed but my eyes caught with that of a woman lying beside me with her head turned towards the wall.The only thing I could remember from last night was the fact that I was married so I didn't panic. Everleigh, my wife, must be the one lying by my side.With a handsome smile on my face, I pulled closer to her and gently began to kiss her exposed soft shoulders while she was fast asleep.Instantly and with what looked like a surprise to me, she jerked from the bed and pushed her hair backward to reveal her face.What?“Rose?” My jaw jolted and I hurriedly pulled the duvet off my body to see if I was naked." What have you done, Rose? Did we do this? Answer me?” I barked at Rose, the moment my eyes caught with my spoil

Madison was the only one after my life. No one else would threaten me that way.We arrived home that morning and Felix ensured I got a good rest due to the stress of the previous night.I had a lot to say to Felix but was too tired to speak, so I decided to keep it till it was convenient for us to talk about it.Felix wanted to leave that same morning to god knows where but I compelled him to take a good rest with me.At noon that day after some catnap, I woke up feeling stronger and refreshed.

    FelixMy jaw jolted when I caught the glimpse of Madison Clarks sitting loftily and dominantly on one of the soft chairs in the garden.But on the other side was Everleigh, huffing with flames coming out of her eyes.But something magical happened when Everleigh saw me walk outside to the garden.She stylishly walked to me and began acting like she was not the one puffing up some minutes ago. “You're awake" Everleigh touched with her hands shivering. From her actions, I knew something unusual was happening between herself and Madison Clarks. I feel a strong connection between them.“ Yes, I'm awake," I replied casually and pointed at Madison” Did she come to see me?"“ Umm…Er… Yes, but I told her she can't see you at the moment. It's nothing serious, honey. Trust me, I was just getting to know my favorite idol better." She chuckled uneasily, drenched in a certain heat of confusion.I studied her composure and maintained my calmness. If I must find out what's going on between my wife

    Everleigh The rays of sunlight, a symphony of blue and orange glints, penetrate my eyes deep. I shut my eyes, imagining how Felix would feel after I spill all the secrets I have been keeping away from the world and from him. We sat opposite each other on the same couch with a little gap between us. Felix had to bring me to his conservatory room so I could relax whilst spilling the truth without being tense. “ So, tell me everything. Tell me all I need to know about you," Felix pulled closer to me. His blue eyes were filled with impatience and thousands of questions.I sighed and waited till I regained my composure before looking Felix in the eyes.“I lied to you, Felix.” My words were brief, but they broke Felix hard. Felix's Adam apple dropped sporadically in his throat." Tell me about the lies.” His voice was filled with disappointment, but at the same time, he wanted to hear it all.“ Firstly, I am not Everleigh Peters. That became my identity after I died many years back" I

    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.

    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

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.

    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
