Everleigh

“ Really, Felix? Does our vacation mean more than the calls? I doubt that. Are you seriously hiding something from me?" I continued to flog the topic even when I knew it got Felix pissed.

I didn't know why I couldn't just stop. I tried, but it ended In a colossal loss. My hormones were crazier than I ever thought.

Felix got tired of everything. “Hiding something from you? Jeez! You know what, Ever, I want us to enjoy ourselves. Especially you. I don't want anything disturbing your peace of mind during this vacation.

Please can you just let us focus on the reason we're going to Pennsylvania? It's more important than all of these calls, and I'm not keeping anything from you either." Felix's expression heightened suspicion more than his distress. It was all clear that he was keeping something away from me.

“ It's fine." My hormones give me a chance at least.

Felix didn't respond. Rather, he focused more on the road, his mind completely disturbed.

    FelixWe got inside the eatery, and I couldn't fathom how sweet I and Everleigh would become. I could see how Everleigh had fallen deeply for me just by my words and actions. Cool. Things are beginning to hit in my favor. Love first, and then revenge.I smiled at my decision while we sat at the table to eat, my eyes focused on Everleigh. She was all smiley too.Goodness, she must think I'm being real with this faked kindness of mime. How did I go with winning her this completely?Usually, Everleigh used to be stubborn and very firm with her decision, the reason I respected her, but right now, the woman sitting before my eyes is just a vulnerable, frail young woman. A piece of cake to smash.“ This place Is cool and expensive. What a luxury," Everleigh exclaimed exasperatingly.I nodded. " Hmm, I agree with you, darling, but this luxury can only be Worth the woman I love. I’d go broke to live in this luxury with you, Ever”“ What the fuck! You're such a dummy, Felix. Why would you go

    Felix“ Oh, cut the crap, Laura. What do you mean by that? What are you talking about?" I flared softly on the phone, my eyes flickering everywhere to be sure Everleigh didn't bump into me unconsciously.“ It's Clyde, Felix. He wants us married as soon as possible" The suspense in Laura's voice intensified.“ Then what has that got to do with me? You can go ahead and marry him for all I care" My anger grew inside.“ But this isn't the plan, remember? You know you're deviating from our original plans.Firstly, you and Everleigh traveled out of Wellington to god knows where. Gosh, Felix, have you fallen cheaply for Ever right now?What are all of the twisted backup plans you have that I don't know about? You promised to give me what I wanted and now you're doing otherwise? What's with the feelings for Everleigh? What?”Laura was frustrated. Her voice showed how greatly disappointed she was." Look Laura, whatsoever going on between me and Everleigh is none of your business. We have

    FelixI had to rush Everleigh to a hospital that was described to me by the hotel staff. She just passed out again and hasn't regained consciousness.Immediately, I drove to the hospital, and two nurses hurried to help bring Everleigh inside the ER.“ Is she going to be fine?" I panicked, asking the nurses to be sure nothing happened to Everleigh.“ She will be fine; we'd like you to remain in the reception for now till we find out what Is wrong with her, sir," One of the nurses said as we approached the ER, and the door was immediately shut before I could realize it.I went blank. “What have I done?” I hit myself hard in the head as I leaned by the wall just close to the door of the ER.After standing there for a few minutes, I saw a nurse coming out of the ward and my heart sank in fear.“ How's she? Did anything bad happen to her?" I rushed to the nurse, who seemed distressed.“ It's complicated, Sir. Please excuse me, I have to call the doctor." She hurried out of my sight In a f

    FelixThe morning sun cast a lovely glow on the earth, illuminating the walls of the city.It's been two days since we returned from the hospital to the hotel and Eveleigh has been acting moody and strange.I swear that I didn't know what Doctor Roberson discussed with Eveleigh. She never told me. And this broke me inside.Since we got back, I ensured I stayed beside Eveleigh just to make her happy and comfortable.A feeling of relegation surged me, and at some point, I wanted to stop being kind and doting around Everleigh, but I still found myself pushing harder just to earn her trust.That morning, I got out of bed and hurried to Everleigh's room to check up on her first.I knocked at the door, and in less than two minutes, Everleigh opened the door, and I walked in.“ Good morning, dear. Did you sleep well?" I pulled her into my arms and hugged her.She heaved heavily, showing a sign of restlessness, but she never responded to me. Instead, she buried her face in my chest.Seeing t

    EverleighI left the hotel without the knowledge of Felix. I needed somewhere quiet to relax my mind, so I began to walk aimlessly down the road.The street was cool and lovely, carrying a gentle breeze that blew life and strength to me. Also, soft music thrilled from afar, helping my mind that was a whirlwind of thoughts.As I walked ghostly, smiling aimlessly to myself to the sensation of the music that pierced my ears, my phone began to ring. It was Felix.I didn't bother taking his calls. This was the twelfth time he would call. I wonder what he must be going through at the moment because of me. I have caused him a lot already.A lot was happening that I needed to figure out myself. Felix can't keep doting on me forever.Firstly, Clyde’s seed kept growing peacefully Inside of me, and to make matters worse, I didn't know what to do with the kids. Whether to terminate or birth them. If I bring them to life, they would constantly keep reminding me of Clyde, whom I have crossed my m

    EverleighWhat the hell was Madison doing in Pennsylvania? How did she know I was here? My heart sank with fear.Now I understand what she meant during her last visit. Madison is the last person who would ever wish to see me live happily.I watched her as I and Felix left the reception. I wasn't sure if Felix recognized her. He barely looks at women.Things have become more complicated than I ever thought. Madison had given a condition some days back: to leave Felix and return to Clyde, who never loved me, or die a miserable death.“ Sit, I have ordered something else for you. The breakfast I ordered earlier has become cold. You need something hot"Felix said to me as we entered our apartment and slammed the door. All that he was saying never meant anything to me because of Madison.“ Did you see the tall woman in the reception? I mean, the one who wore a short leather shirt and Jacket?" I asked Felix to be sure he never saw Madison.Felix frowned. “What lady are you talking about,

    FelixMadison and I are pretty close. When I learned she was in Pennsylvania, I was excited and asked her to go over to the hotel to see me.Right now, I'm pretty confused. From the door, I heard Everleigh engaged in a heated argument with Madison, but the reason for their argument remained a misery for me. Are they close?“ Miss Clark, are You two friends?" I turned surprise at Madison, who happened to be having a heated argument with Everleigh, and then I rolled my eyes back to Everleigh.“ I thought you said you both aren't close?" I asked Everleigh, my lips paused in awe as I held the tray of food in my hands.“ Oh, come on Mr Felix, Diana here is my just a fan. You know how popular Madison Clark is, right?" Madison bragged and I became more than surprised."Diana? Who's Diana" I immediately dropped the tray in my hands on the table. Seems I have been missing out a lot.“ Can we just go talk about business?” Madison said with a feigned smile and turned to Everleigh " Sorry I h

    Everleigh“ I don't understand. Why are you referring to me as Diana? Oh, is it because the Famous Madison Clark referred to me as Diana?You should know all these celebrities. They could call their fans whatever name they chose. This isn't a big deal and I am not Diana either. My idol just chose that name for me . kinda special too" I refused to play folly at this point. Felix should not find out the truth behind the name Diana. It will forever remain complicated.Felix didn't respond. He sat look at me, obviously wanting a better explanation. And with the expression on his face, I know I was about to be caught. His pale face was contorted with rage. No doubts, he knew i have been deceiving him all along.“ You know, Felix. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I lied to you that Madison and I weren't close. Actually she has been my idol and we chat like friends. There's nothing more to our what you see, okay" My explanation was a repeated one. No different from what Madison explain but Felix was

    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

    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."

    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

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

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.

    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
