Felix

Refreshing air and a pungent scent filled the air of the hotel when I walked in. By now, the three representatives of Nasco Group, a company that deals with technology, might have been present and awaiting my arrival.

Gina told me that they were waiting for me and the other CEO to arrive before commencing the meeting.

At about 2: 30pm, the meeting kicked off after Mr Park Moses, CEO of Nasco Group, arrived although he was a bit earlier than we'd expected.

The deal was signed and we all took photographs to make it more remarkable.

After the meeting ended, I thanked Mr Park before he and his men left.

“ Good job, Mr CEO. I'm Impressed." Gina walked up to me, rubbing my shoulder shamelessly. She is some dirty flirt who will never get over her boss.

“ You should get a boyfriend soon, Gina. You ain't getting young any longer. Don't be deceived by the too much makeup on your face" I said sarcastically and began to walk towards my car. I have no time for Gina and her stupidity.

    ClydeI uploaded some pictures of me and Laura on the internet just to get back at Everleigh for divorcing me. That woman can never get over me for any reason. I was some god in her crazy head.After uploading about five videos of our engagement party that took place in the same hotel two days ago, I laughed hard, resting my head on the bed and waiting for the comments to start popping.It was late that night, and I was expecting Laura to spend the night with me, but she told me that she was going to visit her parents who lived on the outskirts of Wellington.I wanted to go with her to at least see her parents, whom I have been dying to meet all these years, but she told me to hold on till when we’d go for a formal introduction. Our wedding was around the corner too.Engrossed in my phone, the reaction I wanted began to pop up. In less than twenty minutes, Laura and I were the topic of discussion on Instagram.“Congratulations, guys! Much love!""You two look cute together. Wishing y

    EverleighThe morning sun pierced my eyes and I winked while wiping my eyes. I was very weak with this throbbing headache that made me look more miserable.Last night was pretty depressing for me. I tend to be too emotional these days. I cry about the most silly things ever.Ever since Felix told me that Laura had been found, I never took it seriously because the story behind her release was just too generic. Even the blind would know that it was all fake.But yesterday, after I saw a viral post made by my ex-husband, I pinched myself hard to wake up from slumber.Perhaps, I was the only one not on the planet. Things were happening fast before my eyes but I have been naive and completely oblivious to them all.Laura being abducted, and Clyde suddenly proposing marriage to her was one of the things that I had never cared to investigate.I wasn't against their relationship but the fact that I was living like some corpse made me cry. Everything happening was just surreal, but I went comp

    EverleighRose was sitting comfortably on the sofas in the living room with her polished exterior and her sweet smell filled the air, provoking attention.I saw how she consciously raised her face from her phone when she heard footsteps from the stairs which made her smile grow when she noticed I was the one.Respectfully, she stood up, her head up high and her hands crossed against itself In a way that shows loyalty and simplicity.“ Rose, dear" I called when I was still far away, putting a sweet smile on my face.She smiled and greeted me at once. “ Good morning, ma’am. Trust you had a restful night” Her melliferous voice became more syrupy, attracting me to her.No one will come across Rose and not fall In love with her. She is a masterpiece of nature, with a beauty that surpasses description.

    FelixLaura and I met as usual In a hotel the following evening. She wasn't moved by what she did the last time. She didn't even apologize for stabbing me but I spared her foul temper this one time.I ordered something light and we began to eat without speaking to each other. I didn't tell Everleigh I was going to stay back late while I was leaving for the office in the morning. She has been avoiding and keeping to herself lately, so I gave her the space she wanted.Cutleries clicked against dishes as I and Laura ate silently without looking into each other's eyes.When I was ready to speak up, I took the clean napkin on the table and wiped my lips.“ Why have you been avoiding my calls since last night? You were lying in the hands of your lover and enemy, I guess." I put a little smile on my face and raised my gaze to Laura.She didn't respond till she finished her food and drank enough wine. Laura's table etiquette quirks. She can never be compared to my Polished Everleigh." Why d

    Felix“ What Is it that you found, Rose? I'm all ears" I pulled my chair forward, desperate to hear what Rose had to say.“ Hold on. I will show you something" Rose said and brought out her laptop to show me something.I waited patiently until Rose powered her laptop before she showed me a picture of some little kid of about ten years.“ Do you know her?" She asked as we studied the picture together.I shook my head. “ No. Who's the little kid?" I raised my curious face to her.“ She's your partner, Everleigh"I turned the laptop to myself to have a clear view of the photo.“ She looks different," I replied, struggling to believe it.“ That was when she was ten years old. I have been doing a deep search about her and had to track the elementary school she attended. I found out that the elementary school she attended was located in Las Vegas. There's a thin line that she could be a citizen there, either by birth or naturalization.For now, this is the only piece of information I have

    FelixI didn't sleep that night as I kept battling with different thoughts. Our wedding was In seven days yet Everleigh never cared about anything. She's so selfish.Although the marriage was just a contract marriage, I intended on making it a huge one, at least, to make Cylde jealous, but I was beginning to think otherwise because of Everleigh’s late behavior.Glaring at all the gifts I got for her that were just dumped on my bed, a feeling of despair washed over me.Since I was struggling to get a good sleep because of her, I called Grace to get some sleeping pills for me. I have never done that before.Grace got the pills and I didn't hesitate to try them out. In my mind, I thought the drugs would start reacting immediately but it didn't.Rather, It ended up giving me some chills and a throbbing headache just by the left side of my head.“ Alcohol would do," I said and walked to my wine cellar to get my favorite drink, Romanee Conti, to consume.While I walked hopelessly from the w

    FelixKnowing that Laura was about to expose my hidden agenda before Everleigh made me rush from my room to first find Everleigh.While I left in search of Ever, I warned the security men at the gate to ensure they threw Laura out.I know Laura. She would destroy the gates if they refused her in. I could hear her make a fuss from the gate already.My fear was Everleigh. She was going to hate me from now on after Laura spilled everything to her.Scurrying to her room, I opened the door but she wasn't there.“ What?" My world crashed. Where could she have gone? She was not in the living room either.Flushed with the heat of a betrayal, I made my way to the gym room upstairs where she often visited to keep fit.She wasn't there either. Then I remembered I had not set my eyes on her since the day began. With the look of things, she wasn't inside the mansion.Perhaps, she might be outside in the garden which was about Forty-five minute walk from the gates.If Everleigh is outside, then my

    Felix“ This place is so refreshing and fascinating. Such a sight to behold" Everleigh turned around, admiring the beautiful restaurant I treated her to.“ I know you like it," I replied, pulling a seat for her while I sat opposite her.With my eyes darting around, I caught a glimpse of a waiter and quickly signaled him to come attend us.We placed our orders; however, before the meals came, I decided to break what seemed like good news to Everleigh and discuss our wedding together.“ Why are you staring at me that way? Do you want to consume me with those lusty eyes?" She chuckled when I kept staring at her, thinking how to break the good news." You know I can't get over you, right? You’re my greatest obsession”" Then you're going to die being a pathetic lover boy” She laughed." I don't mind. As long as it's you I'm dying for, then I can remain a pathetic lover. Anyway, I have things to say to you" I pulled my seat to kiss the breast of the table.“ Okay, let's hear it. And it be

All were all blurry from jealousy, hate, and rejection.When I gave Laura back her phone to check the pictures out, she got mad at me and demanded I take better ones.My anger grew.

    ClydeThe news about Madison Clark's death shocked me, but it served her right. She can't try to make life unbearable for others and go scot-free. Her evil bounced back to her.“ Cheers, everyone." I raised my glass of champagne and we all collided with our glass together.Two days ago was my wedding, but the celebration is still ongoing even now. A few of my friends and some of my staff still visited, including James, my assistant.“ You seem to be super excited. What's the secret, or I guess it's your beautiful wife, right?" Dirk, one of my old friends, smirked at me and Laura giggled."You should get married soon, young man. Marriage is a blessing from God. I miss my wife already," James answered, but that wasn't enough to convince my promiscuous friend, Dirk. He wasn't ready for those shitty stuff.Dirk scoffed. “ Come on, men. Marriage is a whole responsibility. Can't put up with the whole shitty thing. It's entirely crazy" Dirk gulped his champagne. He was already nauseated by

    FelixI hurried home that day to be with my wife. Earlier, I had sent Rose to be with her until I returned.Mr Clark called while I was away. He sounded like he was going to give up soon.

I have been thinking about it, but I wanted us to go for our honeymoon first before traveling to Las Vegas. Now that fate has taken its course; I think I should hurry before Mr. Clark does something deadly to himself.Maybe Everleigh's presence will bring consolation to him.Today, I was in the hospital and had seen Madison's corpse before it was taken to the morgue. She died alongside her three bodyguards after their vehicle ran under a heavy truck around 7:21 pm last night.She had been immediately rushed to a good hospital after the accident. However, all efforts to save her proved abortive. According to the doctor In charge, she br

    Eveleigh“ What's going on Felix?" I asked worriedly as Felix immediately hung up on the phone.I gasped, looking into Felix’s eyes, but he was not ready to get me a response. From the cold expression on his face, I could tell that all wasn't well.“ You ain't saying a word. What is the matter?" I protested and he simply drew me to himself, his face clouded with shock." Let's just go home okay, I have somewhere important to be this minute”" No, Felix. I'm not permitting you to leave if you don't tell me what's going on. If we would be together, then you should be accountable to me,” My voice was firm, enough to make Felix change his attitude towards me.I have ignored too much. Felix keeps me in the dark, acting secretly. Why? I am the woman in his life. If there's anyone he shouldn't hide stuff from, then it should be me.“ You know I love you, right" Felix kissed my forehead, trying to fool me.“ I know. But I'm not going to give you the chance to fool me" I replied boldly.Felix

    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

    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

    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.

    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

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.
