"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
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
"Oh my! It seems the loser husband is finally here" Meq said as she saw him coming back from the pharmacy where she sent him to buy drugs for her baby. "What the fuck took you so long?, Huh?" Meq asked as her Child was in her hands. "Meq..." Felix called in a low voice "Don't Meq me you bastard!, I just hate the sight of you, a loser like you shouldn't have been born! Gosh" Meq cussed out Felix stood and watched his wife yelling and insulting him, he surpressed the anger in him and just wondered the changes in her. She automatically changed her behavior towards him for the past months. Before her recent changed behavior they do interact, share things in common apart from physical touch but now meq has turned into something unexplainable. She rolled her eyes and took the drugs from his hands, she stretched her hands with the baby in her hands as she handed over the baby to him. "Meq, We need to talk" she scoffed " Talk about what? With who? You of all people? " She said sca
"Good morning, ma" Felix bowed with his head low, and his hands were crossed on his laps.He wondered what he had done this time around. She shot a dirty stare and rolled her eyes."This grocery was ordered by the catering department of A.X. corporation; that's where my daughter works; do handle it with care."Felix nodded and breathed out, 'thank goodness he didn't do anything wrong.'Besides, if he went there he was surely going to meet his love— Meq. He could also make up for annoying her the other day by buying her a present. "And how is Dice doing?" Kate asked, returning back to her seat."He is fine, ma; do trust me on that," Felix smiled as Kate scoffed.After all, Felix was good at what he was doing, so she could trust him in that aspect.He took his bike and off he went to the company; when he reached there, he parked his bike, untied the package, and took it in his hands.He was going into the main building when he was stopped by the security guards."Hey, leave these premis
It's been 10 years since he left the orphanage home just so he could start up a business or find a job. That was when he met Redds Carlos, on his way to get a job. He started working for him in the store and at home, even though he never received any income. The only benefit he got was squatting in their house and nothing more. The next minute, he was asked to marry his daughter to save her reputation. At the end, all he received for his good deeds were betrayal. He sighed, went back home, dressed up, took his bike and started it, heading towards the orphanage home that was located at the countryside. The crazy moments he had in the orphanage home kept flooding through his mind as he drove. Even at the orphanage, he was still unlucky; being one of the feeble children that was easily bullied and looked down on. All he knew about himself was that dropped at the orphanage when he was barely six years old. He couldn't recall a thing about his life before that. The only thing he had w
The old man, dressed in an exclusive Louis Vuitton suit which costs $500,000 had an imposing aura as he walked up to them. "It's Kimber Kim!" A young lady shouted. The rest of them quickly snapped out of their daze and began bowing their heads for him as he approached them. "Mark, look it's Kimber Kim" Karl said as he and Mark rushed to his front and laid down flat in front of him. "The king of our city! We are fortunate to see you, Master!" Kimber Kim— the owner of Limbed CO, Hess Power CO and Harriboard Corporation, the largest enterprises in the city. He was the top-notch richest Quadrillionaire in MoperVille City, feared, respected and honoured by all big politicians and other rich people under him. Even the government couldn't say no to his order. He wasn't the type to appear at open places so it was only a few rich people that could ever set their eyes on him. Yet here they were, seeing the Legend on a platter of gold! Two of the bulky guards stepped forward and dragged
Felix who was already through with bathing, heard her voice but ignored what she said. In fact, he pretended not to have heard anything. "Hey, dickhole! Have you gone suddenly deaf?!" She growled from her room but there was still no response from him. "Someone needs to put this harlot in her place, I'm no longer her pathetic slave," he said within him and smirked. Left with no choice, Meq took Dice and pet him until he slept. She looked very angry and was surprised at his behavior. How dare he ignore her? She put her baby in the baby's cot, then went downstairs to his room and started insulting him. "What the heck has gotten into you? Or were you not the one I was talking to? Huh?! Don't think too highly of yourself cause you're just a wretched poor thing that I took from the dustbins!" "Huh? Were you speaking to me or speaking to some ghosts?" He looked around the room, sardonically. The response alone shook her hard not to talk of the sarcastic gaze he threw at her. She fur
By the time he got home, it was late in the evening. And as expected, Meq Carlos was never around. He took a shower and did the honour of taking care of the baby. Inasmuch as he wanted to ignore the child, Dice didn't have anything to do with his problems. He just had the worst luck, being born to a mother like Meq.Just as he was about to get his good-evening-sleep and recover from the shock he received today, a loud roar stopped him."FELIX!!!" Sigh... Oh, damn. It was none other than Kate, his so-called mother-in-law. He walked into the living, and met Kate painting her nails. Typical Kate Carlos."You called for me, ma," Felix said in a casual tone, his hands tucked into his pockets.Kate looked up and saw his behavior. Their eyes met but Felix kept staring into her eyes. There was something different from Felix today. Before, he couldn't even stand in front of her without looking down but now, he was looking directly into her eyes which he was afraid of doing for a very long
