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
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
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

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
Clyde “ Huh? How did you know my girlfriend?" I Looked up from the photo of Laura shivering slightly in my hands to face the lady.The lady chuckled slightly. “ You don't have time, Cylde. Go back to Everleigh or I will make life more devastating for you. And as for your girlfriend, I will get rid of her if you continue pushing your wedding plans with her. I won't warn you again.” With lips spilling venom, the lady stood up and left." Hold it” I stood up to confront her. She veered around slowly to me with anger boldly written over her face." This is your last chance, Cylde. Keep every other question to yourself. If you fail to do this, you won't be alive with your girlfriend " She didn't even give me a chance to speak before striding outside.Furious, I hit the chair where I leaned, causing a nuisance to many others who were eating peacefully.I watched the lady as she walked into a car, and two tall, hefty men came to open the door for her before the car swooshed." Fuck!” I cle
Clyde Threatening messages from an anonymous sender kept popping up on my phone.Firstly, I don't know who was behind all of the messages. Somehow, I know the person must be someone close to Everleigh.I mean, why should I go back to Eveleigh? It's impossible. Everleigh and Felix are now married and living their miserable lives together. Why should I go back to her She was some insipid leftover Cobb salad. “ Trash!" I grimaced.Gritting my teeth, I called James, my assistant to my office. We have finally moved to our new company, and it has been all hell for me because the company has been in a quagmire, struggling for revenue.For days now, I’ve been spending a huge amount of money just so we can meet up with other businesses. I wanted to ensure that the company became the headline on the news so Felix and Everleigh could Suffocate to death.Immediately after James walked in, we began to strategize on how to grow the F & L Group. That's the new name of the company; a combination
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
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
