The Kim's henchmen tightened their grip on their weapons. Their eyes darted around, scanning the shadows for any sign of movement.The fold along Jake's forehead crumpled as his eyes narrowed into slits. He turned around and gave a signal to three of the men to go outside and check what was there.As they approached the door, their footsteps slow and cautious, their eyes were alert. The rest of the group held their breath, tense and ready, waiting for news from their comrades. They all stared at the door, their eyes sharp and watchful, looking for any hint of danger.But suddenly, a thunderous groan filled the air, breaking the silence and scaring everyone in the room. The henchmen outside had unexpectedly walked into a trap as one of them got shot. Panic took over as another gunshot echoed, followed by the chaotic noise of fast gunshots everywhere.Jake's heart pounded in his chest as he rushed outside to check the situation. It dawned on him that Jericho had sent some of his men to
"Nice plan, Jericho," Felix thought sarcastically in his mind. Unbeknownst to Jericho, he was standing just behind the pillar all this while, watching him closely and observing his every move after he came out of the hall. He had noticed Jericho leave angrily. After the rejection of the proposal, Felix discreetly slipped away to follow Jericho, suspecting he may try something else. And that was how he found himself listening to all Jericho said.His eyes were filled with reproach towards Jericho. The only thing that held him from outrightly jumping on Jericho and attacking him was the fact that Elsa was still in his custody. He would keep playing the defense game till he retrieved Elsa from him.*In the control room, as Jericho's men were being held down by Kim's henchmen, Jake walked into the place.His eyes moved over them, observing how they were tied together helplessly, and a wicked smirk curled across his lips."Nice job, minions of Jericho Vasley," Jake sneered, his voice dri
After Felix was announced as the new owner and made all the announcements, Jericho squirmed uncomfortably in his seat, sweating despite the cool air blowing from the air conditioner.On his face, you could visibly see the signs of disappointment, anger, frustration and more other emotions.Scott, noticing Jericho's discomfort, decided to provoke him further. "Oh dear, the AC is on, yet you're sweating like you're in the Sahara desert. Is there a problem?..... Or has the plot that was laid on a solid foundation crumbled?" He said slyly, a cunning smirk adorning his face, reminding of the words he said before.Jericho heard Scott's taunt and threw a side glance at him. His hands instinctively reached for his collar and loosened it, the heat getting even worse from the tension between them. He replied, "Plots laid on a solid foundation never crumbles; they only stumble. And with the right plan, they could come back to life. If you would excuse me, Mr. Scott Hitler."Without wasting anoth
From inside the stage, Meq had her eyes filled with tears that she could barely keep at bay. The salty tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to spill over her lashes. Her heart clenched in her chest as she kept remembering all she said to Felix in the restroom, making it difficult to breathe.She had said too much without noticing the signs that Felix was showing. It was obvious, his sudden change in aura, his magnetic charm, his strength, his sharp words, and the way he carried himself.The realization was like a punch to the gut, leaving her winded and disoriented.She strained her brain to try and recall when it all started; when the subtle changes in Felix's character began. Her mind flashed back to the day he caught her cheating with Fred, her ex-boyfriend. Yes, that was it. After that night, he suddenly changed. At that time, she noticed a change in his eyes. The light in his eyes dimmed, and a new intensity she hadn't seen before took its place. It felt as though something
D'Angelo's heart sank to the lowest point. All the bragging he gave Felix on the site, all the insults he gave him in the toilet began to replay in his head. Lord, what had he done.... A tear trickled down his cheeks. Regret filled him. But Felix's expression remained the same. He focused his attention on D'Angelo now, his mocking gaze piercing through him. "Mayor D'Angelo, on the day of your celebration party, you announced 'Operation Demolition', right? Tearing down buildings to develop the city by building casinos?"He swallowed hard before replying in a quivering voice. "Y-Yes, a project that will transform -""A project that destroys many people in the process. One that affects the standard of living in the process. One that leads to loss of life in the process." Felix interrupted, his words as sharp as a knife.Murmurs rose from the crowd at his stern tone. D'Angelo spluttered, his face reddening further. He tried to redeem himself, his words stumbling. "B-But the economic gain
As he made his way up to the stage, the audience members craned their necks, watching his every step. Their faces were filled with curiosity, fingers pointed and phones coming out, cameras ready to capture every moment.A journalist called out, breaking the silence. "Mayor D'Angelo, do you think this proposal will be approved?!" That question…. That question….D'Angelo ignored the question, eyes downcast as the audience's stares bore into him. He shuffled forward slowly."Over here, Mayor!" shouted another reporter, camera flashing. "Do you expect Felix to approve or reject your proposal!?"D'Angelo wet his lips, his mind racing, but he couldn't find the words to respond. He felt like crying out in frustration as he kept being crowded by them.When he got closer to the stage, the journalists crowded him even more, not letting him have breathing space. They ensured to capture his every reaction and movement."Sir, how do you respond to concerns about citizens being affected!?" Anothe
Enzo was still overwhelmed with shock and just sat on his own, isolated and lost in his own thoughts. Since the day he almost died at Jake's hands, his mental health had been greatly affected, leaving him traumatized. Almost all the time, all he could manage to say was 'don't say a word'.The news of the announcement of Felix being Kimber's son sent shockwaves through the department members. It was a huge blow to all of them, especially those who had taunted him to the brink. He had turned the tables on them, consequently causing them to lose their jobs.*After the announcement, Felix scanned through the audience. His eyes met D'Angelo's eyes and locked onto it. His eyes narrowed, his expression transforming into a taunting gaze. A wicked smile spread across his face, his cheeks stretching. "Now, to another announcement," he declared."Meq, I'm doomed." D'Angelo said, his heart sinking low. Meq, still recovering from her own plate of shock, turned her head to him and when she realiz
Back at the cruise ship, in the hall, Felix grabbed the microphone from Kimber Kim.“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I am Felix Kim, the new CEO of Kim's Empire.”Gasp!Meq felt like all the air had been sucked from her lungs. Her entire body froze, eyes locked on the imposing figure gazing out over the crowd. “Help me, help me, I might faint,” Meq fanned herself, her breath unstable. She couldn't fathom how Felix, her ex-houseboy/husband was suddenly the owner of such a conglomerate.It couldn't be. Yet it undeniably was - Felix Drake, dressed to perfection in an expensive tux that hugged his muscular frame. The proud, dignified manner with which he held himself was worlds apart from the broken man she had divorced. But it was his face, those piercing eyes, that confirmed her worst fears. No other person had that distinct jawline, that intensity of gaze that seemed to cut right through her. Felix Kim. The words echoed in her mind, repeating over and over as if to convince her
Outside the hall, in a shocking twist, when they brought the person they had kidnapped and taken off the cloth from his face, they realized it was not Felix. “What? How is this possible??” Someone exclaimed. But he was wearing the exact clothes Felix wore throughout… “Fuck!” That was when they realized that they had been played. They turned back, and surprisingly, the people they thought were sleeping arose from their positions, holding their guns at them. They turned back again and the person they had kidnapped also held a gun pointing at them. “Surprise, surprise,” one of them remarked, “surrender already.” Their hands slowly raised above their heads in defeat. * * Felix had a smirk on his face as he walked along the hallway towards the stage. After reaching the stage, the full lights of the room came back and everyone could see his face clearly. He could notice the shock on some people's faces, especially Jericho who seemed to be sweating hard. The henchman that came to mee
