Receiving Shocking News 2

Chapter 11Felix’s Pov“Have you ever considered the fact that I am an actual human being and you can’t always arrange your plans around me without my knowledge or consent?”, I impatiently asked my father who was on the other side of the phone.“I want you at the mansion by noon”, was his bland response.“I can’t come, the company is in a crisis. Profit rates have been ridiculously low for the past few weeks. And one of our shipments is arriving in a few hours, l need to be there to collect the cargo”, l stressed. Hoping to draw his attention to issues of more importance. Not an inane lunch date with my so called fiancée.“Felix l want you at the mansion by noon and that’s final!”, he replied. His voice calm yet stern.“Are you even listening to me?”, l asked in frustration. “The company is at stake and all you can think about is a stupid lunch date with a girl you forced me to marry!”, l yelled. Anger now seething from my chest.“Don’t tell me bullshit about running a company that l

Coming To An Understanding

Chapter 12Leigh’s PovI slowly opened my eyes to find l was in a strange, dark and unfamiliar room. Both my head and eyes felt extremely heavy as l struggled to sit up.“Where am l?”, l groaned, as l tried to steady myself. Using both my hands as leverage to try and prop myself up. But the weight of my body was too heavy to be supported by my shaking arms.“Leigh, you’re awake”, an anxious male voice said from somewhere across the room.I craned my neck in the direction of the voice. Eager to see who it was. I had no recollection of what had happened to me, where l was. And whether or not l was in danger. “Where am l ?”, I repeated again. This time my question directed towards the stranger. My voice raspy from all the dryness and soreness in my throat.Suddenly the figure stepped out of the shadows and slowly walked towards the edge of the bed. It was Felix.“You’re at my fathers house. Do you not have any recollection of what happened?” Felix asked cautiously. His eyebrows furrowing

It’s Just Business

Chapter 13Felix’s Pov “What! You are flying in this weekend?”, I exclaimed in both shock and excitement. I was on the phone with my younger brother Charlie.“Yes, Felix. I can’t wait to see you”, Charlie replied excitedly from across the phone.“Me too kiddo”, l laughed. As my mind began to replay fond memories l had shared with my younger brother. Before he had left for college two years ago in China.Growing up Charlie and l had always been close. He was a only year younger than me but I still treated him like a little child. Not in a disrespectful or devaluing manner. But because after our mother left. Charlie was the only family besides my father l had left.Charlie had been born as a premature child. So he was extremely sick and weak most of his childhood. As a result, l had to help my mother take care of him very often. And once my mother left us when I was ten and Charlie was only nine. The responsibility of looking after my younger brother had fallen onto me entirely.And for

Stranger At The Cafe

Chapter 14Leigh’s Pov I unconsciously held my breath the moment l stepped inside the new house. No words could even begin to describe how magnificent the house was. It was wide and enormous but somehow had a cozy feeling to it. The interior was astonishing with a chic marble design.I could not even begin to fathom the idea that this was going to be my new house. Mr Gray had said my father and him had brought the property for Felix and l as a pre-advance wedding gift. But l doubted my father could even afford to buy a place like this.“This place is amazing daddy”, l heard Claire say as she emerged from what appeared to be the living room. Her grating voice echoing throughout the empty house.Felix’s response was a low, “yeah”.“I think it’s beautiful”, I said, as l mindlessly ran my hand on the kitchen wall. Felix gave me a quick glance but didn’t say anything. I surveyed the rest of the house in silence. Trying my best to be as inconspicuous as possible. Blending shamelessly into

Charlie

Chapter 15Felix’s Pov “I see you haven’t changed a bit”, Charlie, my younger brother said casually. As l opened the door to my apartment that Saturday morning.“Charlie! Jesus fucking Christ. When did you get here?”, I asked in both glee and disbelief.Although l had been anticipating Charlie’s arrival. I had not expected him to show up at my doorstep that early in the morning without notice. Regardless, l was more delighted than surprised to see him.“Aren’t you happy to see me? I got your address from father. So l thought l could surprise you”, Charlie said jauntily as he let himself in. “I admittedly went to look for you at father’s house and was surprised to hear that you had moved out” , he continued.“Yes. I moved out as soon as you left. I couldn’t bare to stay with that old man for another second”, l replied bitterly. As l began to make myself some coffee.After my father had given me the company. Charlie had made the decision to go and study as a pediatrician in China. I w

Moving

Chapter 16Leigh’s Pov The weekend sped by. And before l knew it. It was already the day Felix and l would be moving into our new house. I looked at my apartment one last time. Before l picked up the last of my packed stuff. I was unhappy to move but l sure wasn’t going to miss this place. It had been a temporary and cheap solution after Dylan had kicked me out of his apartment. Hence the living conditions had been unsafe and unpleasant. I had to barricade the door with a chair every night because the lock was broken.Even though the whole engagement situation was unpleasant. I was glad l at least got something good out if it. Now l was going to be living in a large and possibly safer house than l could ever afford. Even if it was with a man l barely knew anything about. “Goodbye sweetie, come visit me soon”, Mr Fagger, the middle aged man that owned the building said with a disgusting wink. His tobacco stained teeth showing as his lips curled up into a sinister smile. Just as l

The New House

Chapter 17Leigh’s Pov “Which room do you want to sleep in?”, Felix casually asked. As he carried my box up the glass stairs in our new house. With me trailing close behind. “Whichever you chose is fine. I mean, l will have whatever room you will let me have”, l replied meekly. And for some reason, my heart was pounding rapidly in my chest. “Leigh this is your house too. You are allowed to choose where you want to sleep”, Felix deadpanned. As we reached the landing. “I can sleep in the guest bedroom”, I offered helpfully. Unsure of what else I was supposed to say. Felix turned to look at me with an impassive look on his face. Before he looked past me and said, “Charlie, take her stuff up to the main bedroom. I’ll sleep in the guest”.I turned to see Charlie climb up the glass staircase.With one of my boxes full of stuff l had labeled ‘appliances’. And he silently nodded his head to Felix’s request. Avoiding any form of eye contact with me as he walked past me. “No. It’s okay. I

Coffee

Chapter 18Felix’s Pov “You’re alluring Miss Ellis, l could not help but stare”, l heard my younger brother Charlie say. The Instant l walked into the living room. After l had left the house to get some groceries.“Do my ears deceive me or are you actually flirting with my fiancée?”, l casually asked as l walked towards my younger brother Charlie and Leigh. Who were both standing aimlessly in the kitchen.I unintentionally locked eyes with Leigh and l immediately felt embarrassed. As recollections of the days previous event suddenly invaded my mind.I had just been climbing the stairs to my new room. When l suddenly heard Leigh scream from her bedroom. Immediately, I rushed towards the sound. Worried that something bad had happened to her.And when l had arrived at her door. A pair of bright pink underwear had been unexpectedly flung into my face. I remember that l had momentarily stood by the door in shock. Unable to process or react to what had just happened. And unintentionally, l

Familiar Faces At The Cafe

Chapter 19Leigh’s Pov “Jesus fucking Christ!“, Felix shouted. Yanking off his suit’s blazer. Before he immediately tore off his coffee soaked shirt. “I’m so sorry”, I began in a panic.“What is your fucking problem Leigh!” Felix shouted in anger. As he quickly began to wipe off the sticky hot liquid from his chest.“I’m sorry”, I whispered. Choking back the tears l suddenly felt stinging in the corners of my eyes.“Fuck!”, Felix cussed. As he wiped off the reminder of the burning liquid from his chest. The burn of the coffee leaving a reddish tint to his skin.“I’m so sorry Felix. I didn’t mean to bump into you. I swear”, I almost cried. As Felix’s harsh shouting had suddenly made me feel like crying.All l had wanted to do was make him some breakfast. Like a proper fiancée would. Instead l had messed everything up and ended up making him upset.Yesterday I had humiliated myself with the underwear incident. And l today l had thought l would make it up to him by making him breakfast

Heartbeat

Chapter 20Felix’s Pov “You’re late”, Claire said as l walked into my office that morning. She was standing aimlessly by my desk with a bunch of files in her hands.“What are you doing in my office?”, l asked. Closing the door behind me as l slowly began to walk towards Claire.Claire’s eyes widened in panic for a brief second before she quickly regained her composure. “I was just uh organizing the files on your desk”, she stammered. Before she quickly set down the pile of files she had been holding onto my desk.I raised my eyebrow, giving Claire a questioning look. But I did not say anything as l proceeded to sit down on my chair. “What’s your problem?”, Claire suddenly asked. Leaning towards me as she set both her palms flat on the table. Her face only inches away from mine, I could feel her breath fanning my face. And smell the smell of her lavender scented perfume.“Nothing”, l replied coldly. “I just wanted to know what you were doing in my office that’s all”, l continued with
