Chapter 8.

"Thanks for dropping me off, Mr. Kingston, uhm, Felix, I'm going to go down and check-" "I'll come with you."

Before Isabella could digest the situation in front of her, Felix had already gotten out of the car and was standing in front of the car. Isabella's eyes blinked, she seemed surprised by Felix's unpredictable behavior.

Isabella then got out of the car. She looked around and said, "You can wait here and-"

"Is this your sister's apartment?"

"First, can you stop interrupting?" Isabella crossed her arms over her chest, she tilted her head as she looked at Felix who seemed undistracted. "And secondly, this is Rudolf's apartment, not Irene's."

A sigh was heard from Felix. He shoved his hands into his pants pockets. "Let's go in!"

"But-hey! Wait for me!"

Felix was a dominant man who always surprised Isabella with his unexpected actions. But Isabella finally ran after Felix. They entered the apartment neighborhood, distracting Peter who was cleaning the floor.

    CHAPTER 9"This is your house?"Isabella nodded her head. She looked down once more, then pulled the bag from the dashboard of the car. "Thank you for driving me, Mr. Kingston."Felix looked at Isabella, she looked glum and avoided his gaze as she moved out of the car. The man could only remain silent, watching Isabella's departure until the girl walked into the house. Until the end, Isabella no longer looked back to make sure Felix was still there or not. And that made Felix sympathize a little. He tapped his fingers on the side of the steering wheel, before finally pulling out his cell phone and calling someone on the other side."Hello, Parker? Yes, it's me. Can you send Miss Swan's car to her house? Yes, I'll send you Miss Swan's address now."Click. The call went off. And after a long sigh, Felix started the car engine again, he drove away from Isabella's house.While inside the house, Isabella had just entered her room. Isabella's blue eyes looked around, she found an empty room

    CHAPTER 10The alarm sound from her cell phone woke Isabella up. She fumbled under her pillow and managed to turn off the noise from her cell phone alarm after three attempts. Blinking her eyes, Isabella tried to gather consciousness. And the numbers on the clock on her cell phone, really made Isabella surprised."Damn! I'm late!"Isabella immediately got up from her bed, she ran to the mirror in the corner of the room and shouted. "AHHH! Why is my face so bad?! I shouldn't have gotten drunk last night."She ran to the bathroom, brushed her teeth and cleaned her face in a hurry, before finally picking up the denim jacket from the floor and putting it on sloppily. Isabella had gotten off to a bad start. But nothing could be worse than Felix's early appearance. So when Isabella entered without knocking, she shouted frantically."Aaaaaarghhhh!"Felix was surprised too. He shouted back. "Why are you yelling?!""You startled me!"Felix stood up from his chair and took off the glasses he wa

    "This is a boutique recommended by my mother."Isabella frowned, she folded her arms across her chest and squinted at the building before her. She mumbled, then looked at Felix with a judgmental gaze. "Have you always been like this?""Like what?""Following everything your mother says, eh?"Felix looked back at Isabella, one eyebrow raised. "Do I look like that?""Yep."Felix looked ahead, avoiding Isabella's gaze that was still directed at him. He shrugged his shoulders and unbuckled his seatbelt. "We'd better get in, they're about to close."Seeing Felix's sudden departure, Isabella quickly followed. They entered the vintage-themed boutique. At the front, Isabella's blue eyes were immediately presented with the sight of expensive-looking wedding dresses. Well, although Isabella did not know the exact price, but from the material, shape, and how the dress was displayed on a nice mannequin, Isabella could immediately judge that this boutique was in the upper middle class, or even hig

    CHAPTER 12"Can you stop putting on a grim face?"Isabella looked away from the window, ignoring the request of Felix who was busy driving beside her. Inwardly, Isabella continued to curse Felix and uttered expletives for the man. Felix was such a bitch! He had already embarrassed Isabella at the boutique, and now, he was asking Isabella to arrange her face. Doesn't Felix have a problem with empathy?The car came to a stop with the brakes deliberately applied harshly by Felix. That left Isabella shaken and hurriedly glaring at Felix. "What the hell?!"Felix returned the stare. "Are you angry?""Don't I look angry?" Felix furrowed his brows, he looked confused. Then, Isabella let out a long sigh and said, "You made me fall on the floor, and almost ruined the dress there, you made me so embarrassed in front of that designer, Felix! Do you think I'm not angry?"But Felix just shut his mouth tightly. He let out a short breath, then unbuckled the seatbelt."You don't want to say 'sorry' to

    CHAPTER 13Chapter 13“If you're saying that Mr. Four and I usually look close... am I-”“You what?” Nicholas cut in impatiently.But before Isabella could continue the question, Isabella suddenly remembered that she was Irene. Wouldn't it sound strange if she asked someone she should know well?Isabella smiled and shook her head. “I lost Mr. Four's business card. Can I ask you for it? I need it to organize the data in the office.”Nicholas furrowed his brows, he looked disbelieving at first. But Isabella kept smiling, acting as if she had done nothing wrong. And Nicholas stabilized the expression on his face as he nodded his head. “Alright. This is Mr. Four's business card.”After reaching into his black coat pocket, Nicholas handed the business card to Isabella. Isabella examined it. And immediately put it away in her blazer pocket.“By the way, you've been going home alone for the past few days. Is your relationship with Rudolf okay?”Isabella paused. She was confused why everyone

    Chapter 14“I'm getting married next week.”Felix stood there, expressionless. He looked straight at Sarah. Sarah was standing in a short red dress. It was a gift from Felix, that dress... was a gift for their second anniversary. But Sarah used it to meet Felix in this situation.“I wanted you to come.”“To see my suffering?”Sarah gave a short snort. “I want to share my happiness with you. We're friends now. Do you think that's wrong?”Felix chuckled bitterly, he stuffed both hands into his pants pockets and looked down for a moment, before finally looking up and speaking to Sarah again. “You know I still love you very much, Sarah.”“I want us to end, Felix. And, I want to make that clear to you.”Felix let out a long breath, before he continued, “Why is our relationship over?”“Felix, stop this.”“I'm just asking why, Sarah.”Sarah took out a wedding invitation card from her bag, then forced Felix to accept the paper in her hands and take a few steps back from his previous position.

    CHAPTER 15The sun that slipped through the crack in the window managed to shine down on Felix. He could also dimly hear the sounds of birds and commotion from outside. Felix's logic only kicked in when he realized that this was not the morning scene from his house. He opened his eyes quickly. His two brown eyes found the white ceiling of the wall, it was already slightly faded with age, but there was something more surprising to Felix.Felix glanced slowly to his right side, when he realized that there was a woman sleeping and hugging herself carelessly.“Argh!”Felix's reflex movements as he pushed away the strange woman's body, made the morning atmosphere even more frenzied. Isabella, who had just been pushed off the bed, let out a long moan.“My body!”Felix's eyebrows furrowed, he looked surprised. It was a familiar voice. And when Isabella was able to get up from the floor, their eyes met.“You!”“You!” Isabella shot back at Felix, she pointed angrily at him while trying to get

    CHAPTER 16Isabella sat looking at her phone, while Emily was busy doing her hair in front of the mirror.“So, you're stuck in a hotel room with nothing to do?”Both of Isabella's eyebrows furrowed, she raised her face and left her cell phone to be able to see Emily in the corner of her room. Mumbling, Isabella continued, “What did you expect?”Emily immediately turned around, she looked at Isabella with sparkling eyes. Holding her hair that was styled loose over one shoulder, Emily began to fantasize. “If I were you, I wouldn't miss the opportunity. That would be Felix Kingston! He's the perfect guy!”“Um... do you mean to say that I should have slept with Felix last night?”Emily nodded her head enthusiastically.“No, thank you.” Isabella pointed at Emily who now wore a disappointed expression, then said, “Besides being stiff and annoying, it looks like Felix had a bad experience with Women. But I'm not going to blame that woman, I know why she behaved that way. Felix deserves to be

    Nicholas met Isabella at the park. She was wearing a white, knee-length dress with open shoulders, making her look elegant yet simple. She smiled as she saw Nicholas approaching, holding two cups of iced coffee. The soft afternoon sun cast a golden glow on the falling maple leaves, making them shimmer."For you," Isabella said, handing Nicholas one of the iced coffees. "I figured you’d need this after such a long day."Nicholas smiled as he took the coffee and sat down next to her on the bench. "Thanks. You’re right, it’s been a tiring day," he replied with a relieved tone.They sat in comfortable silence for a moment, enjoying the tranquility of the park. Isabella sipped her coffee, then broke the silence with heartfelt sincerity. "I really want to thank you, Nicholas.

Nicholas entered and stood before Felix."I know you want to resign from the office," Felix finally said, breaking the silence with a calm tone. "But you don’t have to do that."Nicholas leaned back in his chair, raising an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"Felix looked directly at Nicholas, without hesitation. "I’m going to London. There’s business I need to take care of there. And more than that, I’ve decided to end my pursuit of Isabella’s love."Nicholas paused, surprised. "You’re just giving up?"Felix let out a long sigh, as if releasing a burden he had carried for a long time. "It’s not about giving up. It’s about accepting reality."

    As he reached the intersection, Felix noticed a black car parked by the roadside. Inside, a man in a leather jacket sat waiting, his expression unreadable. It was Kevin, the informant who had been helping Felix gather information about Rudolf. Felix turned off his engine and stepped out. The cold air immediately stung his skin, but he ignored it. Under the light drizzle, Kevin also exited his car, and they faced each other at the side of the road."Felix," Kevin greeted briefly, pulling up the collar of his jacket against the chilly wind. "I have news."Felix gave a sharp nod. "Tell me."Kevin slid a hand into his jacket pocket, retrieving his phone, and showed Felix a message. "We’ve found Rudolf. We tracked him to the outskirts of town, hiding in an old motel. He’s planning to flee the city tonight."Felix narrowed his eyes, his body tense. "What is he carrying?""Evidence," Kevin replied with a serious expression. "Documents and photos linking him to Irene’s murder. It seems he’s t
