In a very dark room, Elsa was just starting to wake up after being forced to sleep for the second time. Her vision was so blurry, and she could barely see anything. It dawned on her that her face was being covered with a face mask.As she perceived, she could sense a huge figure approaching her. "Who are you? What do you want from me?" She asked coldly. It was even more weird that her hands and feet were not tied."It's simple. What's your connection with Kimber Kim?" The person asked.He removed the face mask from her face. Elsa recognizes him instantly as Jericho, the owner of Vasley Group. Why was he...? Suddenly, she saw the man that kidnapped her entering into the place with him.Her heart sank to the lowest depth. She was starting to piece things together. If the man that kidnapped her was working for Jericho, does that mean..."I watched your petty unicorn show and I must admit, you truly stole the event from my company. Aside that, you seem to be closely acquainted with the K

Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 159: Anniversary II: The Mysterious heir
The hall was decorated very luxuriously. There were huge crystal chandeliers emitting soft and warm light, and the shiny marble floor reflected the light, as if walking on a golden floor. Soft and beautiful music filled the air, the sounds of violin and piano created a magical atmosphere. The music was like British songs from the 90s. After a while, a commotion could be heard coming from the entrance. Without even turning around, Felix knew it was Bartholomew D'Angelo. Many people had gathered at the entrance, including reporters and interviewers. D'Angelo was dressed in his usual black formal suit and shoes, accompanied by his herd of assistants and bodyguards. But Felix noticed that something was missing... Ah, pets were not allowed on board, so his beloved dog was nowhere to be found. And D'Angelo was furious about this. Why did he suddenly impose a ban on pets on board? To be honest, the only reason D'Angelo came here was to sign the contract, nothing more. He tried to main
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 160: Anniversary III: Don J Kamar advice
"I'm afraid, I also have no idea who the heir is. And, Kim's family never broke; we only became stronger with our differences." Ending her statement, she excused herself and continued her walk towards the front seat. Felix was all ears as she spoke. Her voice… it gave off an uncanny vibe. She seemed crafty with her words. His eyes focused on the entrance and saw the other Kim's walk in. He noticed they all had that unique bluish tint in their eyes. Either electric blue, ocean blue, sapphire blue etc., But they all had that unique eye. Felix has to be the only weird one with green eyes! They walked in like the dignified personalities they were, everyone giving way for them to pass. Everyone present felt mesmerized by their presence and people took photos of them. Kimber Kim, who was seated at the front row, made eye contact with them but removed his face immediately after. He had nothing to do with them, and the only reason they were here was to witness the anniversary. That's al
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 161: Anniversary IV: Meq?
Felix's face fell as he gave it a thought. It felt like Kamar could see through his situation at the moment. But he was still confused and brushed it off. He nodded, still staring at the photograph. "Sure, Grandpa. And don't let anyone tell you you can't still have fun in your old age. Remember, aging is precious!" Kamar laughed, lightly tapping the ground with his cane. "Thanks for the encouragement, but who would want to be with an old granny?" He continued chuckling softly as he moved to another photograph. And out of all of them, none of them had a single image of Alejandro in them. Indeed, it was clear from the onset that he did not merit the ownership position. After the exhibit viewing time ended, the guests were led back to the hall to continue the event. ** “Boss,” Felix felt someone tapping his shoulder and spun around. The view of one of his henchmen showed. “Is there any problem?” “Yes, boss. You need to see this, but not here. We should go to the restroom,” the hench
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 162: Anniversary V: Meq's Double Life. Felix's Icy Aura
"Meq?" Felix couldn't believe his eyes after seeing her for so long. Memories of everything that happened with her from those years filled his head. After their divorce, he never bothered to check on her or even inquire about their family's life. For him, she was a chapter closed from his life. Therefore, seeing her appear suddenly was a great stunner for him. But wait, why was she holding D'Angelo? That was when the harsh realization plopped on him. Meq was D'Angelo's mistress??? "Felix?" Meq, who had also seen and recognized Felix, was shocked out of her wits. At first, she didn't recognize him due to his noticeable glow up and changes in stance, but after a while she took note of his never-changing green eyes and dark hair and recognized him. She noticed that his voice had also deepened. They stared at each other in disbelief. Next to Meq, D'Angelo had a puzzled expression: "Do you know him?" Upon hearing his voice, Meq quickly snapped out of her shock. Her expression b
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 163: Anniversary VI: Anxieties across Moperville city
Felix returned back to the main hall after getting rid of the mayor and his ex-wife. He was trying to believe Meq was that cheap to let herself become a mistress. He probably saw the signs right from the moment her father died; how she became disrespectful, taunting, and lived her life like a prostitute. But anyway, what was his business? If she wanted, she could live under a rock. So, back to business, his eyes wandered and spotted the henchman that came to report to him. He gave him a signal and they began to text each other. After a long while, it was time for the announcement of the heir. In front of the eyes of many, Kimber Kim mounted the stage. “Good evening ladies and gentlemen,” Kimber Kim first greeted as he held the microphone. In that moment, a pin drop silence enveloped the room, everyone on edge to hear what he had to say. All reporters and even paparazzi had their cameras set, all ears were attentive. Only a select few had a different expression. For example, Jerich
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 164: Anniversary VII: Panic in the Hall
Meq's mother, Kate Carlos together with Dice, who was watching live from their home, also had her heart beating wildly. “I can't wait to see this wonderful heir, I bet he's so marvelous.” Karl Whales sat quietly beside his father in their house, watching the event happening live from their television. After the termination of the contract, there was never a day his ears didn't get full with scolding. Their business went downhill and no company hired them for construction after that. Sabina still suffered greatly from her company burning down, and she broke up with him. Mark, on the other hand, vanished without a trace. And as for Elsa, it seemed as if she had evaporated into thin air. Together, they watched the live event unfold before their eyes. “I can't wait to see who this heir is. The one that terminated the contract we worked hard to get,” remarked Alfredo Whales, Karl's father. Karl anxiously swallowed, his body trembling. He desperately hoped his father wouldn't launch

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
191: Handled the attention perfectly
“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. "Isn't that the P.A
191: Overwhelming reporters
The incident had blown up really nice, and she knew it would cost an arm and a leg for damage control. Not that Vasleys were not up to the task, but they knew how hard it would be. She went back into the room, completing her makeup. She spent over half an hour carefully twisting and winding her hair into an elegant style on top of her head. She used pretty pins in red and shiny silver colors to match her accessories for the evening. The style highlighted her beauty. She realized just how much she had glowed up after the arrest and smiled.Stepping back from the mirror, she picked up the blue dress. The shiny satin material shimmered under the light. Small crystals were sewn neatly along the fitted top part. “This definitely fits the theme,” she smiled as she began to wear the dress. It went all the way to the floor, flattering her. She arranged all she needed and began to walk outside.She looked up and down the quiet sidewalk for Jake as she adjusted the thin straps on her shoulde
