Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 180: First day as a CEO: Bodyguards
A knock on the door pulled Felix from his thoughts. Felix swiveled in his leather chair, the wheels squeaking against the hardwood floor. A woman peering in with curly dark hair framing her face stood at the doorway. Lines by her eyes showed that she was in her late thirties but that didn't dull her friendly smile. "May I come in?" she asked in a pleasant tone. Felix nodded and she walked inside, closing the door behind her. "My name is Charlotte. I've been your father's personal assistant for many years now." Charlotte smoothed her ivory suit jacket and extended her hand. "It seems I'll be helping you for a while as well."Felix had done a review on her, so he was well-informed. "Sure," he extended his hand and shook hers.She left and returned to her desk, leaving Felix in the room. He decided to start by reviewing the company's current financial statements, budgets, and targets. As expected, it was nothing less than perfect. Though, he knew he had to stay ahead of the game, just

Elsa stirred in her chair, slowly blinking her eyes open as she woke up from sleep in the dimly lit room. She could hear voices talking quietly and quickly. Elsa kept her eyes closed, not wanting to fully wake up yet. The hard wooden chair was uncomfortable against her skin where she was sitting on it.As Elsa became more awake, she realized the voices were close. It seemed they were just across the room. Her neck hurt from the way she arched her head while asleep.Elsa became curious and tried to listen to the conversation, straining to hear snippets of what they were discussing. Since they hadn't revealed that she was awake, she had the advantage of being able to listen without them knowing.The chair made a small sound as she shifted ever so slightly, trying to get more comfortable without giving away that she was awake. Carefully, Elsa tilted her head upward, bit by tiny bit. Her neck hurt from the movement, but she kept going. As her eyes adjusted to the low lighting, she could
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 182: Remember me?
The Porsche car came speeding towards Vito's car in a flash, closing the distance in just a few seconds. Vito leaned forward."Driver, what's the meaning of-" Vito started to say. But before he could finish, the Porsche appeared right behind his car, just inches from the back bumper.Vito's heart jumped into his throat. With a loud screeching of tires, the Porsche swerved right into Vito's lane, cornering him. The front of the Porsche filled Vito's entire windshield view.Vito's breath got stuck in his throat. Time seemed to slow down as Vito just reacted on instinct. He quickly wrenched the steering wheel from the shocked driver's hand slammed on the brakes as hard as he could.Vito's car screeched to a sudden stop, narrowly avoiding a disastrous collision. For a while, it was completely silent except for the pounding in Vito's ears. Through the windshield, Vito saw cold eyes staring at him from the other car. Whatever was about to happen, he had a feeling it wasn't going to be goo
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 183: Uncertain
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

As soon as the call ended, Shadow began again. He pounced with questions. "Mhm, can someone explain what's going on? Jake..." He drawled, giving him sarcastic glances."Ugh!" Jake sighed in irritation. "It's nothing! She's just a friend of Boss's friend," he insisted. But Shadow wasn't having it. "Suuure," Xander drawled, drawing out the word. The others howled with laughter. Felix was dumbstruck, looking at the seven of them as they laughed. This was a side he never knew they had. Who would have thought those stoic bodyguards would actually be this playful and lively? They were now joking and teasing like brothers.Even Jake, who he had been close to never showed this side to him. He was always just stern and ready for action. Their laughter was infectious, and soon, Felix found himself smiling as he watched them.**The car made a sharp turn to the left which revealed a long driveway to the Kim Mansion. Felix looked at the sides and noticed the grapevines were heavy with grapes a

D'Angelo was still furious about the response from Felix and how he was utterly put to shame at the Kim Empire anniversary. He was pacing back and forth in his study, his brow furrowed in frustration.Of all things, he couldn't have anticipated the useless man from that day to be the heir."But how could he be the one? Fucking shit, Operation Demolition was supposed to be the project that would make the plan start working!" He exclaimed in fury, running his fingers through his hair.The rejection of his proposal by Felix hit him hard, and he felt like weeping all day long. Now, would he even be able to carry on with his project? The operation demolition was supposed to start in a few days, and he didn't have enough funds.He had budgeted a total of $47.9 million for it, but had only managed to scrape together a measly $9.5 million so far. However, with that proposal, he could have gotten everything he needed at a go!His precious dog, Thor, beside him barked, drawing his attention.
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 186: Eavesdrop
Vito was having his own round of frustration. But even though he knew going against Jericho was a huge game, Felix was way above that game. The mere mention of his father's name was enough to make him shake in fear. So, he had no other choice but to just comply. The next day, he woke up and went through his daily morning routine. At breakfast, he began thinking about how he could get information on the location of the kidnapped girl. Given his close working relationship with Jericho as his manager, it wouldn't be so hard to linger around him. Except that Jericho was not one to divulge secret information without interrogation. He had taken on a few dirty jobs for Jericho, but that was only when directly asked. He took a deep breath and let out a hiss. From the adjacent room, his wife walked out carrying a pan filled with pastries, flashing a smile at him. She set the pan down on the table and took her seat beside Vito. But, he didn't notice her arrival. “Honey, what is tr
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 187: Acting rash isn't the answer
Seated at his desk, Felix’s phone chimed as he received the message from Vito. He creased his perfectly arched brow as he read, but then Vito sent a follow-up message clarifying the recording was a conversation between Jericho and Gregory. “Wow, this is new.”Felix tapped the play button. His green eyes narrowed in concentration as he listened to the conversation over and over. “And the event is just around the corner...” “May try something sneaky during the event and attract attention...”These two lines stuck in his mind like a loop. It sounded as though they were hiding Elsa in a place meant for an event. He tapped his long fingers against his desk. “What event are they referring to?” He pondered, his heart banging. This was the chance to finally find out where she was.The only forthcoming event that can be linked to Gregory was Gregory's Gala and it was hosted at the Quiltore Hex hotel. “Quiltore Hex?!” His eyebrows pulled together into a look of shock.Then it hit him - why
