The next day, Felix watched as his so-called mother-in-law prepared to go to the grocery store while Meq was almost done preparing for work , just having her breakfast.

He was almost done with getting ready for work as he was preparing breakfast for Dice in the kitchen, Kate began to yell out his name.

" Felix, you bastard!" Kate yelled his name again and felix rushed to the living room.

There, he saw Kate was sitting on the couch with Dice.

"Good morning ma" he greeted and turned to the Meq "good morning great wife."

She ignored him like she didn't hear a thing then ordered, "go get me my bag from my room." He nodded and went to bring it for her.

"Gosh, he irritates me like damn" Meq said seeing him going to bring her bag

He came back and handed the bag over to her

"Hope you didn't steal anything from my bag because what's in there cost more than your miserable life" . Felix sighed and ignored her

then turned back to Face Kate.

"Mummy I will be off to work, dear loser hope I don't set my eyes on you!" She Muttered and perked Kate's cheek then left the house, Felix shook his head

"Yes ma, you called me the other time."

"You have to make up for the time you missed at the grocery store, it's good that you're dressed already so let's go." Kate stated, arranging her stuffs, expecting Felix to join her in it.

After a while of receiving no response, Kate turned back only to see Felix smiling at her as he stood and watched what she was doing.

Shit, how much she hated that cunning smile.

"You brat!! Are you deaf?! Why standing there like a log of wood?!" She yelled at the top of her voice.

"I got a job," Felix said in a casual tone. Kate scanned him thoroughly. It took a while, before She started her loud, derisive laughter.

"Hehe... You rubbish, who do you want to deceive, huh?" Kate taunted acidly.

"I'm not lying. I got a job at my friend's company."

It took Felix a while to decide the best lie as a cover-up. He didn't even know when that came out of his mouth. He never expected that they would still be ignorant given the fact that they had such a talkative daughter like Meq.

"You mean a useless dump like you was offered a job? In a company? Haha, let me guess... Is it as a cleaner or a gatekeeper?.. . Oh no, maybe it's a trash collector... Haha," Kate sneered non-stop.

Kate stood up." You wretched soul are not allowed to work! If you leave who will do the work in the store? Who will deliver the groceries to our customers?... Also, at least for once, think of this little baby Dice! Who'll look after him when you're at work? Don't be an ingrate!"

Kate ranted on and on in frustration. She just didn't want to believe that he was capable enough. He was supposed to be their underling! Not the other way round! He was supposed to be a grocery boy!

Felix was fuming in anger, receiving all the insults without complaint. He once thought that if he got a job, her attitude towards him will get better but it was just his wishful thinking.

As for now, it didn't matter to him anymore. He suppressed his brewing anger and opened his mouth to speak, "Auntie, let's not forget that money is involved here. I am going to be paid a lot of money! Look at it! A job as an accountant will fetch us nothing less than 10000$ a month! And of course the money will be given to you, my dearest in-law!" Felix let out an annoying smile.

He made sure to use the most flattering voice he could to persuade her. Thank goodness his brain came to him when he needed it the most. Phew!

Kate on hearing this from him was excited about that and reconsidered it. After all, this foolish son-in-law was surely going to bring his earnings back to her at the end of the day. So.... Why not? Let him work his ass off! She can take absolute care of the grocery store and Dice on their own without his help.

Kate cleared his throat and said, "Do as you wish. Just make sure you don't go back on your words..."

She made it sound like he was doing Felix a favour. They were being greedy yet so egoistic. Amazing in-laws of the year!

"Good luck to you! And make sure you don't fumble, dumbass! "Kate yelled as Felix left the house.

A.X. CORPORATION.

Felix reached the company and was going into his office when he stumbled into Fred.

Fred stopped him as he saw Felix entering the financial department. "Hey you son of a bitch, what the hell are you doing here? Oops! Almost forgot. You now work here, haha."

"Excuse me." Felix tried walking away but Fred pushed him back.

"Oh, how great! You wanna enter inside when I'm still talking to you?! You've got some nerves huh! Is it because you got a job here, you think you have the right to talk to me like that?"

Felix really wanted to punch this guy really hard but of what use will it be anyway?

Instead, he walked nearer to him and put his hands together. "Please Fred, enough. I don't have time for your nonsense, neither do I have time to exchange words with you. So, get out of my way so I can go in!"

Fred was startled at first, but soon started laughing, "Look here, loser! I'm not scared of you. And if you choose to act foolishly like you already are, I'll make sure to give you the worst beating of your life! Gosh, you're so despicable and no wonder your wife hates you to the core!" Fred said scornfully. As he walked away, he didn't forget to deliberately hit Felix's shoulder.

Felix was so angry, then he decided to meet his dad at his office.

    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.
