FELICIA POV

The last thing Kalixo told me yesterday was that I could do anything I wanted here in the mansion. That's why I've been wanting to climb up a mango tree for a long time. The tree has many fruits, and I can see that most of them are ripe. Why don't his staff pick them?

"Here, let me catch them!" one of the servants, who moved with grace like a lady, caught the mangoes I dropped. She carried a basket that was already full. I'll devour all of them later. Mangoes are delicious, and they're my father's favorite. I'll bring some to him once everything settles down. I climbed down from the tree, which wasn't too high.

Ever since Kalixo said those words, I haven't felt any fear or apprehension. I believe in him to some extent because even though we're business rivals, he's not the kind of villain who would kill me for money alone. I didn't bother asking him about his plans because I know he has nothing to say to me.
