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 me… or to ghosts?" he asked icily as he glanced sarcastically around the room. That single response hit her like a slap. Combined with the mockery in his eyes, it left her speechless for a moment. She furrowed her brows, wondering what gave him the audacity to do that. "Wait, was it me you just gave that response to?" She questioned incredibly. "No… it was for the crazy person standing in front of me," he replied, lifting a brow coldly. Her big eyes went wider that they almost fell out of their sockets as she became even more surprised. Was this really Felix Drake? The same loser she knew?! He noticed her shock and scoffed as he buttoned his sleeves. Boiling with rage, she raised a hand to slap him, but he caught it in the air. "Don't even dare." He tossed her hands away. "And by the way… 'Miss.' Yes, I called you miss. Since, according to what I heard today, we’re not married, you’ve got no right to raise your hand at me,” Felix stated coldly as she gazed at him from head to toe, completely blindsided. This is so so so not FELIX DRAKE! Her face was blood red from anger as she barged out of his room, picked her purse and slammed the door on her way out of the house. Felix stood there for a moment, stunned by his own words. It wasn’t like him to talk back or even stand up for himself. Where did that courage come from? Maybe… his father. He felt like a huge burden had been lifted over his shoulders after finding his father. As if he knew he was thinking, a message beeped into his phone as he opened it and read it. "Let’s meet up, son. My driver will pick you up." Wait... His father? But how did he get his number? He didn’t dwell on it. Felix quickly stood up and went out of the house. He couldn't risk letting anyone know about his true identity. He saw a black Porsche driving towards the house as it halted the moment it spotted him. He advanced towards them, and two men in leather jacket and pants stepped out and bowed respectfully. The driver followed, dipping his head as he opened the back door. Felix felt flattered. He wasn't used to such dramatic scenes. It felt like he was a King that was being served by his guards But kept his expression stoic, squared his shoulders, and stepped into the car like he belonged there. The Porsche car started, and tore down the streets of MoperVille City. As they moved further, he noticed they were taking an unfamiliar route. Probably the outskirts? The car finally diverted left and a long driveway came into view. At the sides of the driveway, the beautiful vineyard of the Kim's estate stretched into the horizon, intensifying the beauty of the place. Felix looked ahead and saw the soaring skyscraper that extended far above the massive gate to the building. The gate opened slowly to reveal an opulent estate, sprawling farther than the eye could see. His jaws dropped and eyes widened. The length of the mansion was roughly 10,000 square metres or more, he guessed. The width of the whole estate extended far that he didn't even see the end. The building had a large circular fountain at it's front and a beautiful bold inscription at its peak, "KIMBER KIM'S FORTRESS.” "Welcome, Young Master. This is your first time in your home. All bow to the Master.” Felix entered the building and was received by the smiling Butler, Butler Dec who was standing the door side. Suddenly, a long line of staff formed on either side of the grand foyer: security personnel, gardeners, cleaners, chefs, maids, valet and more, putting Felix in the middle. They all bowed 90° to who just stood frozen in awe. What… was happening? Where is he? No, what on this Earth was he? Was his family that rich? Obviously, he was asking a stupid question. He didn't need a soothsayer to confirm it. "We are all happy to see you again, Young master Kim. Here, we should go in now,” Butler Dec said, motioning for him to enter. As he walked in, the employees dispersed off to their various duties, each wearing a smile at the arrival of their long, lost Young master. … “Holy heavens!" Felix's mouth was wide agape, his eyes running around the house. The interior was even more breathtaking. Two massive crystal chandeliers, one gold, one silver, illuminated the entire European-style mansion. The dazzling specks of lights danced off the furniture. Almost all furnitures were made of gold. There was even a golden statue of a little boy at a corner. Some stuff didn't even know the names of were everywhere. Everything sparkled with absurd luxury. He’d never imagined a place like this could exist. If the outer part was beautiful, then the interior will be perfect. "Young Mas—" Butler Dec’s voice snapped him out of his daze. Felix quickly adjusted his posture, trying fruitlessly to compse himself. He suddenly felt too underdressed to sit. His worn clothes were out of place among all this gold. With the way he looked, he didn't even fit for a cleaner in such a place. "You may sit. The master will join you shortly," Dec said with a slight bow, then excused himself. He didn't have the courage to taint the seats with the rags he put on, so he stood, still admiring the place "My son!" Felix turned as Kimber Kim strode toward him, arms open. "Welcome to our home, boy!" the man exclaimed, pulling him into a tight hug. His face was filled with smiles and fatherly love. Felix returned the hug. Finally, he saw one thing he was familiar with. Felix first broke the hug, still overwhelmed. "Dad… are you really this rich? Everything’s gold and other expensive materials! It’s like another universe in here." Kimber Kim laughed and gestured for him to sit. "Relax. Take a seat, son." Felix sat, albeit stiffly. "You’ve forgotten everything, haven’t you?" Kimber sat down gently. "Don’t you remember? I’m a Quadrillionaire." "What?!" Felix sprang up from his seat, slightly scaring the old man. Felix couldn't keep acting calm and composed anymore. "Yes, Felix. Haven’t you heard of Limbed Co., Hess Power Co., and Harriboard Corporation?" Felix nodded slowly. "Those are owned by the richest man in MoperVille…" Kimber smiled. "That would be me." Felix’s eyes welled up slightly. "You’re that man?" Kimber Kim reached across the table and took his hand. "And you, son… are the heir to every bit of my wealth I’ve earned in this world.” Felix eyes widened hearing what he said. He couldn't believe it. He was going to be A Quadrillionaire's Heir! The mere thought overwhelmed him. He never expected any of this to happen. From a worthless thing who once slept on floors to a Filthy rich man. As in, in a blink of an eye, he had suddenly become a vieux riche! All the wealth of the Kim's was going to be willed to him and handled by him. He was going to be the most respected and honoured man in the city, taking over from his dad. "Son, for now, we are going to keep your identity a secret; till the empire’s anniversary when you will be announced as my son and the heir to Kimber Kim's wealth.” "Whoa. Dad all these seems like a dream to me. Infact, I don't dare have such a dream... I mean, I thought I was just a bastard with no parents, not knowing I had a father out there. Even though I thought of it, I never expected that you'd be so wealthy." Kimber’s expression softened. "It was all my fault for letting you into trouble in the first place. People are out there watching for you, son. You own everything because someday I will be gone." Those words touched Felix's heart. He hadn't gotten all his memories yet and it hurt him a lot. But one thing was clear: he wasn’t powerless anymore. He heaved a sigh as he suddenly recalled how badly he was always treated by his wife and her family. Being treated like her nanny and houseboy. His mood got even worse when he remembered what happened the day before. How his wife cheated on front of him and still denied him. He suddenly came up with a plan. "Dad… I have a request." "Anything, son." "I want you to buy A.X. Corporation." Kim raised a brow. "That’s all?" Felix nodded confidently. "Yes. That’s all I want… for now." However, he has made his firm resolution— REVENGE. …

197: When realization hits
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
196: Freeze!
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.
