After confronting him, Felix watched as Vito sped away from his sight. He knew Vito wouldn't dare try nonsense because he had more than enough ways to bring him down. All he needed was one call.

"We finally have an ally in Vasley Group," Jake let a smug smile appear by the side of his face as they walked back to the sleek Porsche parked under the hot sun as it glinted.

Shadow sauntered around to the driver's side, fixing the top button of his shirt that Vito had messed with. He slid into the leather seat and turned the key in the ignition. He was appointed by Felix to be the driver.

Felix swung open the back door and lowered himself into the seat, relaxing against the headrest.

"Jericho better watch out," he replied with a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

Just then, Felix felt a vibration in his pocket. He pulled out his phone to see "Dad" flashing on the screen. With a tap, he brought the phone to his ear. "Yes, dad?" he said.

"Son, where are you now?" Kimber's voice cut

    The sun dipped lower in the sky, painting the street in warm gold as Elsa and Felix strolled side by side. Their bodyguards kept a discreet distance, blending into the flow of people.Felix carried two cones, handing the one with chocolate swirls to her. “You really dragged me away from work for this?” he teased.“Yes,” Elsa said firmly, taking a big bite of the ice cream with a grin. “You’re always working. You needed a break.”It had been weeks since the gala. As expected, all they did was work and barely had time to chat. Felix had a whole empire to run. It was even worse for Elsa as the building was yet to be completed, so she had to meet up with her employees at different locations. When Elsa had her free time, she decided to drag Felix out of his office.Felix shook his head, but there was amusement in his eyes. “You’re so bossy.”“Someone has to be,” she shot back, tugging him by the sleeve. They walked slowly. The guards kept a polite distance. Felix let himself relax bit by

    Elsa sat in the passenger seat, her hands twisting nervously in her lap as Felix drove through the quiet neighborhood. Her heart thudded louder with every turn they made toward Elvis’s house. It had been weeks since she last saw her brother face to face. And now, after everything that had happened, she didn’t know how he’d react.Jen had told her about their conversation over their phones. She felt so bad for him, especially with the shocking news of Felix being the heir all along. She decided to explain everything to him. When the car stopped outside the familiar gate, Elsa exhaled shakily. His Audi A4 was parked there. The porch light was on. He was home.Felix gave her a steady look. “Are you sure you’re ready for this?”Elsa nodded, even though a small part of her wanted to run. “I have to face him. He deserves the truth.”Felix reached out and squeezed her hand gently before she got out of the car. The cool night breeze hit her as she walked up the steps, her stomach twisting. S

    Jericho Vasley sat in his wide chair, his eyes fixed on the newest reports spread across his desk. Each sheet screamed the same thing: Losses.His retailers were gone. His distributors were gone. Advertisers gone too.And the worst part of it? Every single one of them was now tied to one name: Glitz and Glamour Cosmetics.Jericho slammed his fist on the desk. “Damn it!” The glass pen holder rattled, a pen rolling to the floor. His jaw twitched as he flipped through the newest reports again, as if rereading them would change the numbers. But it didn’t.His gaze caught on the headline of a trade article:Glitz and Glamour Takes the Market by Storm.His hand tightened around the paper until it tore. “Elsa,” he hissed. “That stupid girl again?”“I made sure she was all locked up at Quiltore Hex, yet Felix was able to come release her quickly. I would have paid more attention if it wasn’t for this damn scandal!” He swore and hurled the paper across the room. He had everything all wrappe

    “Elsa!” Jen cried, rushing over the moment she saw her. She threw her arms around Elsa, pulling her into a tight hug.Elsa hugged her back, clinging as if she would never let go. Both of them were already in tears.“Jen!” Elsa’s voice broke with relief, sobbing into her shoulder. “I thought I’d never see you again.”“I knew Felix would find you,” Jen whispered, her own tears falling freely. “He never stopped looking until he did.”Elsa glanced at Felix, who stood a few steps back, typing something quickly on his phone. Just seeing him there made her heart steady.They pulled back slightly but still held each other’s arms, as if afraid the other might vanish.“Tell me everything,” Jen urged. “How did you escape?”“It’s a long story,” Elsa said softly, forcing a weak smile. “Felix outsmarted Vasley at his own game. I’ll tell you the details another time… but right now, I don’t want to think about it anymore.”“You don’t have to,” Jen reassured her. “What matters is that you’re safe.” Sh

    Kimber’s hands trembled on the desk. Everything was coming as a major shock to him. His eyes darkened with fury as the truth sank in. “That… bastard.” His voice was a low growl, filled with the rage of a father and king who had just realized the depth of betrayal they’d suffered.He shot up from his chair and paced the room. “All these years… how did I never realize this? How did I never see the glaring truth right in my face?” His jaw tightened. “He used Alejandro’s weakness, bled our accounts, killed Victoria, and even dared to lay hands on Elsa. Over twenty years of deception. Twenty years of circling like a vulture.”He paused, looking up. “And now… he thinks he can take our empire?”The fury inside him could no longer be contained. Kimber grabbed the cup on the table and hurled it against the wall, the porcelain shattering. His chest heaved with every breath.“Where is he?” Kimber demanded, turning to Felix like he’d know.Felix met his gaze, unflinching. “Planning his next move

    “I will take him down slowly and make sure he feels every bit of it. He’ll watch his empire crumble before his eyes. That’s what’s coming. I’ve already started.” Felix spoke calmly, but his eyes were intense as he turned to look at Elsa. “Your note about leveraging the drug abuse scandal? That was brilliant."Elsa's brow furrowed, and her lips parted slightly in surprise. Confusion crossed her face before her eyes widened, realization dawning on her like a flash of lightning. “You saw that…??” she stammered, her voice trailing off at the thought of what he would think about her after reading all that. She felt exposed, as if Felix could see right through her. She remembered her bold plans to bring down the reputation of Vasley Group and Gregory's construction company using the scandal involving Diane and Jerry. That was really controversial. Did he think she was a bad person for planning to do that? Would he judge her? Felix noticed the surprise and uncertainty on Elsa's face, a sof
