On one of the couches sat Maxim Moscow, Meq's cousin that resided in another city. The last time Felix heard of him was when his father-in-law was still alive. He always visited home when Felix was still a live-in salesboy and he had become familiar with his face.

He was one of those people who always threw insults at Felix, cursing him that he can only remain a salesboy and nothing more.

His particularly smug attitude was due to fact that he owned the Moscow Enterprise; a really promising business that was still struggling to stand strong though. That was also one of the reasons he decided to come to the city, he felt the need to expand his business in the capital city so he could gain more strength in the business line.

Not just that, he was one of the many masses that had high expectations from Kim's birthday party; he had also heard about the Grand Ball and thinks of it as an opportunity. With the party, he could meet a lot of dignified and prestigious people that can help enhance

    Felix who was still listening to their conversation came out and set the dining table for breakfast as they also walked to the dining too.They sat down and started having their simple breakfast of Tea and toasted bread topped with butter. Too simple that Meq didn't like it at all. She wanted to wine and dine on a full table filled with varieties of breakfast ideas.That was why, come what may, she must attend the Grand Ball and see if she could hook up with a wealthy man– handsome or ugly, young or old. She didn't care.So, she brought up the topic again. "What do you say about me being your plus-one, big bro?""Oh, that. Let's see if there's room for plus one. If there is, I'll surely take you with me... But, make sure to clear your schedule," Maxim replied.Meq squealed like a kid instantly, "Thanks a whole lot big bro! Of course, be rest assured that there's nothing I'm gonna do on that day! I'm as free as a bird!" The next second, Maxim said something that darkened her bright ex

    Maxim suddenly got butterflies in his stomach as the hairs on his back stood up. Did he hear well? Or is his organ of hearing impaired? What did Felix mean by that? Was he.... Caught?! 'No, there is no way Felix can differentiate between top-notch brands to inferior ones. Compose yourself! Felix is probably having a monologue with himself. Yes, that's it' Maxim consoled himself with that thought. He faced Felix to be sure and coincidentally, Felix was looking his direction.This time around, sweat covered his palms and forehead. 'No! Felix can not know this!'He turned to look at where Felix was standing at but Felix wasn't there anymore. Where did he disappear to?***Felix was already in his car, debating on what the right gift for an elderly person would be. That's right. He wants to gift his father something on his birthday— something he would cherish but the only thing appearing in his head was... A Wrist Watch!A fucking Wrist Watch! Being a quadrillionaire, there's probably

    "Are you talking to me?" Felix lowered a brow and raised the other one."Nah, I'm talking to that showcase over there. Of course I'm talking to you, who else is here apart from me and you? I'll repeat myself, leave that area or else I might have the security do so!"A lady, dressed in the same uniform as the salesboy but having a different tag on her shirt, walked past them but stopped and looked back. She sensed the animosity brewing up between them and took interest."Hey Derek, what's going on here?" She asked and shot a side glance at Felix. "Thanks goodness you're here, Glydel. Can you imagine? Just take a look at this man here, have you ever seen any customer dressing like this in the shop? No, right? Yet he keeps staring and ogling at all the wristwatches in the shop! Now, he's even acting like he can buy that $60,000 wristwatch!" Derek, the salesboy huffed like a teenager. That was how Felix saw him to be— a short-sighted teenager.Hearing Derek's rant, the lady, Glydel, nod

    Soon, they were at the top-tier exclusive floor. Everywhere was simply marvelously awesome. Jewelry pieces glittered and shone from all sides of the floor and the silver chandelier coupled with neon blue bulbs made each of the jewelries stand out in their own special way. In awe, Felix trailed behind the manager as he led him to the center of the floor. That's where the word 'perfect' lies in.In a securely locked glass cabinet, the ancient diamond wristwatch was dazzling and it sparkled even on the glass cabinet. It appeared like pools of Mercury and crystal-clear water was carved into the shape of a wristwatch.The entire case of the watch was purely diamond; a 221.9-carat D flawless rectangular-shaped stone that had an ageless vibe to it."Wait, before I open it, I'll have to brief you about the history and structure of this breathtaking stone known as Celestial and Eternal A.K.A The C&E watch. They're necessary before usage so you can understand it's worth," The owner of the sto

    The rest also nodded in agreement and murmured to each other for him to pay.Felix recognized the voice to be the salesgirl from the lower floor. He couldn't wait to teach her a grave lesson of her misused life.The owner scoffed. "You heard them right? It's time for payment. Remember our bet, prove yourself." " I never take back my promise. You should keep yours, " Felix replied. They went to the counter, still being very careful not to reveal his face. Felix brought out a black card and threw it on the desk.They were sounds of gasps and elongated "huh!", repeating from all over the floor. How did he get such a card? From where? Or was it fake? It's just that it looked too good to be a fake.Hurriedly, the cashier at the counter took the black card and inserted it then pressed the numbers "$85,400,000" on the machine. Almost immediately, the exact same amount was withdrawn from the card. Looking up to see Felix's face, the cashier shook in horror. "It is true!" He shouted and bow

    Felix took a good look at her and saw the seriousness and confidence on her face.Sighing, he asked: "Are you really sure about it? Have you thought it over well enough?""Of course!" Now, the serious expression on Elsa's face was gone and replaced with a youthful and pouty one. "Being with an asshole like him is like cheerfully asking for death! I already ruined my pretty self enough... Just to please a damned MF." Scoffs and continues, "Anyway thanks for giving me the best advice ever, cos it's better to suffer in the hands of a psycho than be with Mark. Can you believe that was the first time he was hitting me in public? And you were right that night; if Mark starts anything he never ends it so, I'll end it before he ends me!"Felix chuckled seeing her huff and puff with a pout as she flicked her waist-length auburn hair back."Never knew you were fierce," Felix said."I was in sulk mood that day," Elsa rolled her eyes."You should be careful though, he can be really dangerous.

    "I've never heard of such case before! That only happens when you've been recruited in a top position or you've done a really good deed for the company, religiously follow it's rules, reached your limit of promotion and earned a medal. On the contrary, Felix, here, is just a newcomer that recently became a certified worker in the department. Not even our H.O.D had gotten a 'gift' from the company... I wonder what they saw in you to gift you a car, can you even fund the maintenance and care for the car? Lowlife."Evie mouthed in a huff and rolled her eyes, returning her focus to the work on her desk. Thinking more about it will only make her throw up."I guess I just got real lucky," Felix said to no one in particular. But they took it to heart and glared daggers at him, each mumbling a few angry words to each other.Felix overlooked them and focused on his work. After another nanosecond, Evie sparked up with a beaming smile on her makeup’d face."Guys, guys, guys have y'all heard abou

    As early as 4 am the next day, Felix woke up, dressed his best and left the house to God-knows-where.***In the Kim's Mansion.Kimber Kim woke up from sleep, groggily, he wanted to gulp a little water but the golden jug beside the bed was empty. He decided to go downstairs and refill the jug of water, himself taking a few cups before returning back upstairs.Opening his door, he saw nothing inside. No, it was not that there was nothing but the lights and bedside lamp were off making everywhere seem void except for the golden items that glittered in the dark. He was perplexed. How come? He was sure he left the lights on before leaving. No, what's he even saying, Kimber Kim was the type that hated darkness and never let his lights go off for a second so there's no way he did this unknowingly. All these points to one thing— someone is in the room. Someone had invaded the premises. Into his home and into HIS OWN room! How? In just a matter of minutes he left to drink water?Keeping his

    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.

    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
