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 Mark and Karl up, throwing them out of his sight. Kimber Kim then signalled his guards not to follow him as they bowed.

"What's the big and powerful man doing here?" Mark muttered, standing up.

"Maybe to give charity or something," Karl said.

"Gosh his fierce look scares me."

"Same here Mark, or maybe he wants to sue the orphanage home?"

Felix, on the other hand, was amazed seeing how the old man was highly respected as he bowed his head. Did people like these really exist?

Kimber Kim, then strolled to Mrs. Emma, scanning the entire place.

Just as he opened his mouth to speak, his eyes fell on the necklace on Felix's neck who was head-bowed.

He frowned, squinted his eyes to be sure he wasn't imagining things but it was true.

"Young man," he called, his deep and hoarse voice, resonating in Felix's ears sending chills down his spine.

Felix slowly raised his head, his heart pounding against his chest.

"Follow me."

Felix was both confused and surprised when he saw him talking straight in his direction.

Puzzled, Felix nodded as they went into an empty room.

Meanwhile, shock was written all over the faces of Mark and Karl as they wondered why the whole Kimber Kim will call Felix.

"What has the house boy gotten himself into?" Karl creased his brows.

"Maybe the king wants to offer the bastard some dollar notes. You know, seeing how worn out his shoes and clothes are," Mark mouthed as they laughed.

As for Granny Emma, she made a sign of the cross and muttered, "dear Lord, help him out."

...

Felix stood, perplexed as Kimber Kim turned to him, almost in tears, staring deeply at the necklace.

"Uhm... Sir...?" Felix caught him staring at the necklace.

"I have finally set my eyes on you...son"

"Huh?" Felix thought he didn't hear well as his face widened in shock.

"Son..."

"Wait a sec, am lost here... Son? I thought I have no parents," Felix lowered his brows, sounding funny.

"Son, please forgive me. What I did was for your safety, so many people were after your life. Your life was at risk and you would have been dead if they had found out you were alive. I'm so sorry I had no other option but to put you on adoption."

Felix was still so confused even after he listened to Kimber Kim. He noticed it and then came closer to Felix.

He brought out a magnet which he used to unlock the necklace round his neck as Felix heart sank immediately.

Then Kimber Kim opened the locket and showed it to Felix, his eyes widened seeing his and Kimber Kim's picture in the locket.

To prove further, Kimber Kim brought out the other part of the locket as Felix was already convinced that he is his father.

"Son...do you understand now?"

Felix wasn't listening anymore. All he could see was blurry as flashes of memories flooded through his head.

"Arrghhhh!" He held his head. His head was pounding already and sweat began to form around his face.

"Son, what's wrong..." Kimber Kim rushed to him.

Felix opened his eyes and looked into his eyes. Yeah, he was surely the one in his memories. This man was his father in his memories who did everything to protect him.

"Look son...I will explain everything to you, meet me at this address, I'll tell you when," Kimber Kim removed a card from his breast-pocket and gave it to him.

The words 'Quiltore Hex Hotel' was boldly written on it.

'What? The largest and top-rated ten-star hotel in the city? Is my dad that rich?' Different questions ran through Felix's mind.

Kimber Kim then left the orphanage home with his guards.

Felix went home that day as he laid down on the bed and thoughts of his father ran into his mind with different questions.

He, soon drifted into sleep.

.

The next day, Kate Carlos arrived from the grocery store and met the house unkempt.

"Where on this planet is that idiot?" She hissed, walking towards his room.

She entered into the room and met him lying on the bed in an I-dont-care manner.

"Holy cow! What should I do with someone like him?" She muttered, then raised her hands to shake his body till he woke up.

"Hey, wake up! You have a lot of work to do, so stop bumming around!"

Felix twisted and turned on the bed, then looked up to meet the angered face of his mother inlaw.

He cleared his eyes, still in the process of standing up when he was interrupted by an angry slap on his cheeks.

He bit on his lower lips, trying to control his anger.

"You douchebag! How dare sleep when the house is still dirty? What have you been up to all day?"

He stood on his feet, " I was busy all day." His tone was straight and without remorse.

"Really? Don't even give me those lame excuses! What can keep a fuckwit like you busy?!" Kate Carlos increased her voice.

"By the time I'm back, make sure the entire house is tidy, understood?!"

"Yes." He continued his stoic expression.

She didn't expect such attitude from him at all. The normal Felix will freak out and bow to her when she yelled but now...

She eyed him, then left the room.

When she left, Felix did the house chores and took care of the baby.

When he was through in the evening, he went to take his bath when the baby suddenly started crying.

Meq, who was chit chatting with Fred on the phone, heard the cry of Dice and then ended the call with Fred.

"Hey, baby, I will call you back later. I have to deal with some situations here."

" I bet it's your houseboy of a husband."

She scoffed, "Definitely hon. I will call back later," she softly said and cut the call.

She yelled out Felix's name who was still in the bathroom.

"Felix!" "Felix!!"

"You bastard! Can't you hear the cry of my baby?!" She was already getting frustrated.

    Without hesitation, Felix lunged forward, wrapping his hand around Elsa and pulling her down behind a table, just as gunfire erupted in the small room. Bullets ricocheted off the furniture, sending splinters flying from it. “Get down!” Felix yelled, pulling Elsa closer, feeling her body press against his. He could feel her reaching into his pockets as he returned fire, the sound of gunshots ringing in his ears. “Don’t tell me you didn’t bring me a spare gun! What am I going to use?!” Elsa shot at him when she noticed his pocket empty, her eyebrow raised in disbelief and a hint of frustration on her face. She felt like slapping him for forgetting something so important, her annoyance mixed with adrenaline. Felix glanced at her, guilt and exasperation on his face. He wanted to kick himself for not being more prepared. “Never mind,” she waved her hand sharply and began looking around the cluttered room for something that could help. The guards shouted commands to each other, tryin

    Felix smirked as the heat washed over him. But the smirk vanished immediately; he didn’t have time to celebrate. He dashed down the corridor, taking the stairs two at a time, heading toward the floor where he suspected Elsa might be held.Reaching the upper level, he paused, his breath coming in sharp bursts. His eyes fell on a door marked “Staff Only.” He approached cautiously and leaned in closer, straining to listen for any signs of life on the other side. The silence was deafening.He placed his ear against the door, concentrating hard to hear anything on the other side. Suddenly, the sound of heavy footsteps echoed down the hall. Felix's pulse quickened. He had to get inside, now. With a swift kick, he forced the door open and slipped inside, closing it quietly behind him.The room was dimly lit and filled with old furniture and dusty boxes. There was a table in the center of the room. His eyes scanned the space, everywhere, searching for any clue that Elsa was there. She had

    “Shit!” Panic flooded him.He promised Felix he would ensure to keep anyone away from that area because he would be there. His mind raced as he quickly walked to him, blocking his view.As he got closer, he noticed the guard stiffen and frown in confusion. The guard paused and glanced behind Vito, looking sharp and on edge, as if he sensed something was wrong. He had heard the noise.“Is something wrong?” Vito asked, trying to sound casual and composed.The guard turned to him, his face darkening as he squinted. “Who are you?” he asked, his voice low and filled with suspicion. Vito noticed the guard's hand moving toward his weapon, fingers twitching as he assessed the situation.Vito stood up straight. “I’m the managing director of Vasley Group,” Vito said, keeping his voice calm and confident. A small smirk appeared on his lips.The guard's eyes widened in surprise, and he quickly relaxed, bowing his head. Fear and respect flickered across his face.“I'll ask again: is something wro

    Felix walked down a grand flight of stairs, the sound of his footsteps echoing softly in the hallway as he headed for the backdoor. “Vito?” He called into the airpod, keeping his voice low but clear.“Yes, Boss,” he replied through the receiver.Felix paused for a moment and glanced over his shoulder to see if anyone was watching him closely. “The floor opposite the rear exit. Guard that area. Ensure no one goes closer, if anything seems wrong, alert me right away.”“Yes, Boss,” he responded.Felix took a deep breath and began to move, continuing down the stairs. He took long strides towards the rear exit, ensuring to avoid any guards around him.He decided to go on this mission alone to not raise suspicion so he let Jake attend the event in place of him. As he opened the door, he spotted a CCTV above, on the wall. Immediately, he grabbed a plank and swung it against it, hitting it several times.The lens shattered, sending bits of plastic flying.With the camera out of the way, he

    They drifted to the edge of the ballroom.“Where's Elsa now?” Jen asked in a hushed tone once they were out of earshot, feeling nervous.Jake shook his head grimly. “Felix is still looking, but no word yet.” Vito looked around the ballroom, carefully observing everyone mingling and discussing. He didn't see any sign of Diane Fox among the wealthy and glamorous guests. He frowned slightly and discreetly waved over one of the nearest Vasley employees.He leaned in close so he could be heard over music. “Excuse me, have you seen Miss Diane? I didn't notice her with the Fox family earlier.”The worker shrugged without much interest. “Last I saw, she ran off the moment she got in. Probably hiding and crying in one of the empty sitting rooms, if you ask me.”Vito frowned in thought. He quickly sent a short message to Felix:“Diane is missing from the main event. Employee thinks she's hiding alone in an empty room. Let me know what you want to do next.”After sending the message, Vito put

    “It would take a while to recover from this hit,” Jake remarked as they sat in the car, watching the hectic scene happening on the red carpet through the tinted windows.Jen looked out at the flashing lights and swarming paparazzi. She turned to him. “Even worse since Glitz and Glamour is leading now.” She had a satisfied smile on her face. Jake glanced over at her. "Are you ready to step out?" he asked. "The attention might be overwhelming."Jen took a slow, deep breath to calm her nerves. Being at the center of attention was scary. “As long as it's for Ma'am Elsa. So, yeah,” she said, arranging her dress and clutching her purse. Jake gave a subtle nod and got out of the car, then hurried around to open her door, offering his hand. Jen grabbed it gratefully with a smile as she stepped out.She held a confident smile, allowing her aura to radiate as she headed to the red carpet.A reporter in the front spotted her and did a double take, shocked to recognize her.
