“Oh my! The loser husband is finally here,” Meq said as she saw Felix coming back from the pharmacy. She had sent him to buy medicine for her baby. “What the hell took you so long, huh?” she snapped, holding the child in her arms. “Meq…” Felix called out in a quiet voice. “Don’t ‘Meq’ me, you bastard! I hate the sight of you. A loser like you shouldn't have even been born. Ugh!” she shouted. Felix stood silently, watching his wife insult him. He swallowed his anger and just wondered how she had changed so much. She hadn’t always been like this. A few months ago, they still talked and shared little moments, though it was never anything physical. But now, Meq had become someone else entirely. She rolled her eyes and snatched the drugs from his hand, then reached out and handed him the baby without saying a word. “Meq, we need to talk,” he said gently. She scoffed. “Talk? With who? You?” She looked him up and down and laughed. “Please, I can’t deal with this. I’m off to work. When

It had been ten years since Felix left the orphanage. Ten long years spent chasing a better life. He had left with nothing but a dream, hoping to find work or start a business. That was when he met Redds Carlos on the very day he was looking for a job. Felix started working for him, both at his store and in his house. Yet, he never received a single paycheck. His only "compensation" was a roof over his head. No more, no less. Then, out of nowhere, they asked him to marry their daughter ‘to save her reputation,’ they said. He did it. And what did he get in return for all his loyalty and sacrifice? Betrayal. With a heavy sigh, Felix turned back toward the house. He got dressed, grabbed his bike, and set off toward the countryside, which was the location of the orphanage where his life had begun. As the wind hit his face during the ride, the crazy moments he had in the orphanage home kept flooding through his mind. The orphanage wasn’t exactly a safe haven. Even there, life had been

Felix, already done with his bath, heard her shouting but ignored her completely. In fact, he acted like he hadn’t heard a thing. "Hey, dickhole! Have you gone deaf or something?!" Meq growled from her room. Still, there was no response from him. "Someone needs to put this harlot in her place. I’m not her pathetic slave anymore," he muttered under his breath, smirking to himself. Left with no choice, Meq cuddled Dice, petting the baby until he fell asleep. Her face was tight with fury. How dare he ignore her? That wasn’t like him at all. Once Dice was sound asleep in his cot, she stormed downstairs. She threw open his door and began to hurl insults at him. "What the heck has gotten into you? Were you not the one I was talking to upstairs? Huh?! Don't start thinking too highly of yourself cause you're just a wretched poor thing I pulled out of the trash!” Felix, now dressed with his shirt half-buttoned and hanging open at the collar, looked up slowly. "Huh? Were you speaking to

The next day… Felix watched from the kitchen as his so-called mother-in-law got ready for the grocery store. Meq was almost done getting ready for work, finishing her breakfast at the table. He was preparing Dice’s food when Kate’s shrill voice rang out from the living room. “Felix, you bastard!” He rushed over and found Kate sitting on the couch with Dice nestled beside her. “Good morning, ma’am,” he greeted flatly, then glanced at Meq. “Good morning, great wife.” She ignored him like she didn’t hear a thing and instead muttered, “Go get my bag from my room.” Without protest, he nodded and headed to retrieve it. “Ugh, he irritates me to death,” Meq said with a roll of her eyes. When Felix returned and handed over the bag, Kate didn’t miss the chance to snap at him. “Hope you didn’t steal anything from it. What’s inside costs more than your miserable life.” He sighed and turned back to face her. “Mummy, I’ll be off to work now,” Meq announced, then glanced at Felix with disg

Kimber Kim pulled out the documents from the bag and flipped through the pages. Lo and behold, it was the company's confidential files. They contained critical details about transactions with partner companies, internal investment reports, and more. "My, oh my… Mr Fred Meyer!" Kimber Kim exclaimed. Fred was about to run when the guards tackled him to the ground and shoved him to Kimber Kim’s feet. "Trying to outsmart me, huh?" --- Felix, watching everything unfold from his corner, smirked. His suspicions had been right all along. "Let’s have him thrown out and banned from stepping foot in this company ever again," Felix spoke calmly through the AirPod in his ear. Kimber Kim turned to Fred with fury blazing in his eyes. Without hesitation, he punched Fred hard in the face and grabbed him by the hair. "You bloody thief! You have the guts to steal such vital documents and dare to fool me? You’re done here. You’re finished!" Kimber Kim's cold words made Fred burst into tears as he
