"Hatciuh!" Felicia rubbed her nose, which was so itchy right now. For the umpteenth time, the woman sneezed. Ever since before Felicia went to bed last night, she had felt a bad feeling in her body. Not only did she have the flu, but her head also felt very heavy. Apparently, she was affected by the heavy rain last night."Aaah, I don't understand. Why did I have to do a rain dance ritual drama last night. I'm not a Hollywood actress," she said to herself.Felicia's cell phone suddenly rang. There was an incoming call from Vilia. The woman took a deep breath, then sighed wearily. It was almost noon, and Felicia had forgotten to call someone at the office. They must be wondering about her situation today, or why she was absent without explanation."Hello.""Felicia, what's wrong with you!" shouted Vilia as soon as she heard Felicia's voice.And of course, the sound of Vilia's shout had so startled Felicia that she had to put the phone away from her ear for a while."Could you please sp
"No, sir. Please forgive me. I was framed, I was loyal to you all along, sir." A man was kneeling right in front of Edward.Edward sat with his feet on a swivel chair. Several men and confidants stood beside him. Witnessing how someone in a desperate situation, could only plead with the man."Jack, tell me what evidence of treason this man has committed," Edward ordered one of his subordinates, while smoking the cigarette tucked between his fingers.The man named Jack, smiled. He didn't even need a note to tell the cunning of one of Edward's men who had been caught red-handed."Of course. Mr. Gery has been embezzling employee salaries for the past three years, adding unspecified financing to several projects, falsifying financial data, harassing female employees in the office, as well as selling various important secrets of the Atlanta company to other competing companies," said the man named Jack loudly.The man named Gery was still kneeling with a feeling of anxiety and was so surpr
Rick, Vilia and Sharon entered Felicia's house with both enthusiasm and confusion. It was clear that the house they were admiring was not an ordinary house. Everything looks luxurious and classy."Felicia, do you come from a conglomerate. Or perhaps, you come from a noble family. It's strange that your house is so nice and luxurious. But you're working for a small company like Escape," Sharon said suddenly."What noble family? I got all this from being someone's pet," Felicia thought.Vilia narrowed her eyes, looking intently at Felicia."Perhaps, you're the second wife or mistress of a tycoon!" guessed Vilia idly.It was like Vilia had read Felicia's mind. Only, this time her guess wasn't quite right. Felicia had never been second, in fact, she would probably be the only one. "Almost right! I am the mistress of Mr. Edward Collin," Felicia replied casually.And of course, no one believed a word she said. Everyone always thought that what Felicia said was a lie or a joke. But no matte
Felicia returned to the house. She found Sharon and Rick with sour faces. It was a sign that they had tasted Vilia's cooking.However, Felicia's arrival caught the attention of her three friends. Their eyes were drawn to the beautiful bouquet of flowers the girl was holding."Wow, it's beautiful," Sharon murmured."Yes, it's very pretty and looks... expensive. Tell me, which businessman sent those flowers?" asked Vilia.Everyone seemed to have forgotten about Vilia's cooking that could kill people because of the flowers brought by Felicia."It's beautiful, of course, who else but Mr. Edward would have sent it," Felicia said casually.But, of course. Everyone assumed that Felicia's answer was a joke, even though the girl had been completely honest all along."I'm sorry about Felicia's impossible-to-realize dream," Rick said, responding to Felicia's answer."I think Felicia should start looking for a partner before she goes completely insane from obsessing over Mr. Edward," said Vilia.
"This is a golden opportunity for us! Are you sure you're going to pass up a good opportunity like this?" a man said to Diego.Diego turned his gaze in the other direction because he was too lazy to listen to a man he had called Uncle for years."Are you listening to me? Are you starting to argue with me now? All those years studying abroad didn't make you any smarter. You've just lost respect for me. I've been desperately defending you in front of your family all this time," the man said at length.Diego took a deep breath, closed his eyes for a moment, then turned around, looking at Mr. Jimmy. Diego's uncle and Edward's uncle, of course."But that opportunity you spoke of, it's not the opportunity I wanted at all," Diego argued lamely."Then what kind of chance do you want? Are you going to wait until you're as smart or lucky as that son of a bitch?" said Mr. Jimmy fiercely."This sounds painful. But you have to accept the truth. Luck alone is not enough to defeat Edward. We must ha
And Diego's words were no joke. In the afternoon, in front of the Escape Office, a luxury car was parked that made some people chuckle. A man with a simple casual style was leaning against the body of the car while playing with his cell phone. And his presence really caught people's attention."Oh my, who is that handsome man. Why does that man's face look familiar?" muttered Vilia.Felicia and some of her coworkers had just left the office. Felicia herself was walking while playing with her cell phone. And guess who was exchanging messages with her right now."I'm in front of your office right now!"Felicia stopped walking as soon as she read the message on her cell phone. She raised her head and immediately found a dazzling sight on the other side."Felicia, did you see that? That guy is so cool. But... I feel like I've seen him before, where is he? He looks so much like someone," Vilia said to Felicia.Diego stopped playing with his phone. He then turned his attention to the girls
A beautiful girl in a sexy skimpy outfit came in with a tray of drinks. Her blood-red lips smiled at everyone. Hypnotizing everyone to smile too and not take their eyes off her.Edward was there, attending a party belonging to a bigwig who liked to splurge. The man was hypnotized by the girl's red lips and shady gaze. Shaking the glass in his hand, Edward waited until the girl finally finished delivering the drinks, then sat down at one of the empty tables in the corner of the room.But after sitting down, the girl's smile disappeared, the gaze turned blank. As if the girl was thinking about something big and heavy. And it even made Edward interested in approaching her."What's your name?" the question escaped Edward's lips as he stood right in front of the girl.The girl raised her head slowly, staring at the male figure standing before her from toe to head.A tall and well-built posture, a pair of eyes with a sharp yet dark gaze, sexy lips, a strong and firm jaw, a sharp nose, and a
"Come on Edward. It's not like it's just you. Usually you never make a big deal out of any plans I make. Approaching Adele is easy, especially since you're her ex-boyfriend," Zean insisted."I told you she's not my ex-girlfriend!" snapped Edward in annoyance.Edward clenched his fists tightly, trying to hold back the irritation that was about to reach its peak. But luckily, this was not a big deal. So Edward could still hold his temper."Fiiuuh. Look Zean, I can't deal with any more women. My relationship with Felicia is in trouble right now," Edward said."Since when did you care so much about your and Felicia's relationship?" asked Zean."Well... I can't explain anything. Anyway, my relationship with Felicia is not okay. Having a relationship with another girl, even if it's just a pretense, will only make my and Felicia's problems more complicated!"Zean did not reply to Edward's words, instead he stared at Edward very intensely, making Edward himself feel strange and uncomfortable
Felicia slammed the door and ran out of the car as it stopped in front of the hospital."Felicia, slow down!" Vilia shouted at the woman.But Felicia didn't hear her. She just kept running, running without even looking back. There was only one goal. She had to see for herself how Reynold was doing. Meanwhile, Vilia went to park her car. Felicia arrived at the door of the room where Reynold was according to the instructions Edward had given her. And as soon as Felicia opened the door, everyone immediately looked at her. Inside the room were Edward, Zean, Doctor Alvin and of course Reynold. Reynold was currently sitting on the patient's bed. He smiled happily at the arrival of his mother. "Mom!" Reynold shouted to Felicia. Felicia immediately ran over and hugged Reynold tightly. So tightly that the boy was probably having trouble breathing."Oh my God, Reynold. Are you okay? How are you doing now. Tell me which part hurts?" Felicia immediately bombarded Reynold with all sorts of qu
Diego and Reynold had reached their destination. It was a large house that had been neglected and was full of fire damage. Reynold got out of the car and followed Diego fearfully. The little boy thought hard."Didn't Uncle Diego say we were going to his and my father's childhood playground. But why did he bring me here?" Reynold muttered to himself.Reynold stopped following Diego. He didn't want to follow any further as the man walked towards the house.Diego then looked back and saw Reynold had stopped walking. He approached the boy and squatted down in front of him."Why are you doing nothing, Rey?" Diego asked."I don't want to go there, Uncle. I want to go home," Reynold said.Diego smiled at Reynold. His two hands now grasped the boy's shoulders and squeezed so hard that the boy winced in pain."Aaarkh it hurts, Uncle. Let go of me!" said Reynold."You want me to let you go, right?" asked Diego.Reynold nodded quickly."Then you'll keep following me, won't you?" said Diego agai
"You're right! Diego didn't go to the airport!" Zean shrieked. "So where is he now?" asked Edward."Briefly, he's also on the move. But I don't know where he's going," replied Zean. "Then we'll follow where Diego is going. But just in case, tell your men to stay at the airport and keep an eye on the people who are about to board the flight to Paris. We can't let our guard down," Edward ordered."Fine, just leave everything to me. Soon we will find your son," Zean replied.Zean stepped on the gas hard, sending the vehicle speeding through the streets. Armed with Diego's GPS location, they were taken into the hills, far from the city and a bit remote.Along this road, Edward was familiar with the directions and places they passed. All of this seemed to evoke childhood memories that Edward did not want to remember at all.Apparently while driving the car, Zean also noticed Edward's slightly strange demeanor. The man's demeanor was uncharacteristic."Are you okay, Edward?" Zean asked wi
"I still can't believe you hid something this important from me, Zean!" Edward grumbled at Zean.Zean and Edward were currently on their way to the airport to catch up with Diego and Reynold with Zean at the wheel."I didn't hide it. It's because you're so stupid and insensitive. Don't you realize? Although Reynold is also similar to Diego, he is clearly dominant and more similar to you. When I first met Reynold back then, I already knew he was your son in one look," Zean explained at length. "Forget about bonuses or vacations to private islands. You won't get any of that," Edward retorted."Don't worry, I'll book a ticket to Africa by myself later," Zean joked. Edward rolled his eyes and looked the other way. More precisely out the car window. "But you know... it's still like a dream to me. All of a sudden, I have a child. And that child is a big boy now," Edward said. "Do you want me to hit it to prove it's real or a dream?" Zean asked. The airport was quite far from where Zean
"What a surprise that the honorable Mr. Edward would contact Diego. I am truly honored," Diego told Edward over his cell phone. "I'm not playing games with you, Diego. Tell me where Reynold is now. I know you're the father, but taking the boy suddenly without his mother's knowledge is not right. You kidnapped your own son!" Edward said to Diego. Zean and Felicia glanced at each other, the contents of the two people's heads were more or less the same. Edward still misunderstood Reynold. And he said that to Diego, so Edward could be considered a fool by that man."Pffft ha ha ha, oooh gosh. You're so funny. I don't know if you're just funny or stupid!" Diego retorted."It seems like until now, you haven't found the truth at all!" Diego added.Edward, who had wanted to focus on his intention to find Reynold, was now curious. What truth was Diego referring to."Stop joking around and tell me what you mean." Edward spoke seriously. "You think I'm joking? No, not at all. You can ask your
"But after you came back and even brought a child from Diego, I couldn't do anything about my feelings. I want you! My love never went away, I tried to hide it and failed! That's why I'm going to be selfish now to get you back. I'll separate you from Diego and even lock you up from now on if necessary. I also don't care if Reynold is Diego's son. I'll take him too. I will still love him like my own son," Edward continued at length. Wow, this was the longest conversation that had ever come out of Edward's mouth in his entire life. He spoke without stammering or hesitation. It was as smooth as a speech. Felicia was dumbfounded by every word Edward spoke."But, I don't..." "Felicia, do you know where we are right now?" Edward asked when Felicia hadn't finished speaking.Felicia then shook her head. She really didn't know where she was at the moment."We're in the hotel room where we first stayed. Do you remember?" A memory of their past was now spinning in Felicia's mind. She looked a
"Congratulations on your victory," Zean said as he flirtatiously winked at Edward. "I haven't won yet. Who told you that lie," Edward retorted."You already have everything. What else do you have to be afraid of. Mr. Jimmy's already lost, yeah! And now you just have to continue your business with Felicia that was delayed," Zean explained. "But... I don't know if she'll accept you or hate you later if she wakes up still bound like that," Zean added, pointing at Felicia.Felicia was still unconscious. She was sitting and tied to a chair with her eyes covered with a black cloth. In front of her was a table with unlit romantic candles. And not far beside Felicia was a bed with a bed of red and white roses that formed a word of love so beautifully and in such a way. "Eeehm, no. I think all women like surprises," Edward replied confidently."Now, it's time for you to leave before Felicia wakes up. I don't want you to be the first person she sees when she takes the blindfold off!" protest
Diego starts telling Felicia all about Mr. Jimmy. He tells Felicia about how Mr. Jimmy will target her because she is a weakness for Edward. Diego also tells Felicia that Reynold is not a secret. Mr. Jimmy knew that Reynold was Edward's son. And Diego also told Felicia all his foul plans with Mr. Jimmy who wanted to destroy Edward.Diego told Felicia almost everything and the dark side of what he had done with Mr. Jimmy so far. Except about Esson. Diego had his own reasons for not telling Felicia about Esson."Wow, this is amazing," Felicia said."I knew you wouldn't believe this. But the truth is, I'm not a good person. And I'm also..." "No, not that part. I've always known that you and Edward had problems!" Felicia interrupted with a hint of emotion.Diego frowned, Felicia's response was hardly what he expected."What do you mean?" said Diego."All those years you were used by Mr. Jimmy to be his puppet. But you didn't realize all that? Mr. Jimmy didn't love you. He just used you.
"Mr. Edward Collins Harvey officially announces the ownership of the Atlanta Company's assets and shares. As the largest shareholder of a giant company like Atlanta, Edward Collins Harvey will crack down on all forms of fraud and blah blah blah!" Felicia read the latest news about Edward Collins Harvey that had accidentally appeared on the homepage of her social media app."Mr. Edward will also officially announce who his secret wife is, which has always been a public question. The mass media is busy and curious. This news had sunk some time ago. But its appearance now is eagerly awaited. " And Felicia read the news silently. Felicia turned off her cell phone and sighed softly. After a long time, Edward finally appeared in the news again. And this time, the man said that he would reveal the identity of his secret wife from the past. Felicia thought it was completely useless. How could Edward reveal her identity after they were no longer in a relationship. "She's such a bitch!" grum
