Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 73. DIVORCE
|Civil Records Office|A car pulled up in front of the two-storeyed registration office. Elsa felt the atmosphere in the car become tense. She glanced over at Felix and saw that his expression was cold and distant, his forest green eyes staring into space."Felix, what's wrong?" She subtly frowned, concerned.Felix's steely gaze darted to meet hers. "Nothing, just that they will see the real me today."With that, he got out of the car.Elsa nodded, slyly. “I'll stay in here and wait then.”As the car pulled up in front of the Civil Records Office, Elsa felt a sense of tension in the air. She looked over at Felix, whose normally warm expression had been replaced by a cold and distant one. "Felix, what's wrong?" she asked with concern.Felix's steely gaze met hers. "Nothing, just that they'll see the real me today," he replied, his voice devoid of emotion.Elsa nodded in understanding. "I'll wait here for you then."He opened the car door and stepped out, walking towards the building i
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 74. When words aren't enough... Slap!
"Aaaaah!!!!" Meq let out a scream that pierced through the air, her voice shaking with fear and anger. Her cheeks flushed red with embarrassment and rage, and she felt like the ground should open up and swallow her whole.The sudden slap echoed in the room, startling everyone, including Felix, who stood there with wide-open eyes. Elsa's fury had taken over, and Meq's words had pushed her to the edge. Even though Felix knew Elsa could get angry, he didn't expect her to lash out like this.Well, of course, anyone would be furious after what Meq said.Friends with benefits?That was absolutely rude, degrading, absurd, insulting... but typical of Meq. To spout nonsense twenty four hours per day.Meq felt the impact of Elsa's harsh slap, and her cheeks went numb as she trembled, trying to hold back her tears. "You bitch..." She was about to retaliate by slapping Elsa when Felix grabbed her hands mid-air, preventing her from doing so. The action was so swift and decisive that it took her b
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 75. Emotional Game.
Felix and Elsa walked out of the registration office, still thinking about all that transpired.Felix was happy that he finally got freedom while Elsa was huffing over the show that they caused, but blushing at how Felix defended her.Suddenly, her stomach grumbled, and then she realized she had not eaten lunch. "Oops..." She held her stomach demurely, hoping Felix did not hear the sound.Felix, who had heard the sound, stopped, facing her. Seeing the embarrassed expression on her face, he held back his teasing words, acting natural."Would you want to grab lunch at that restaurant? I heard they serve good high-end Italian dishes," Felix said, pointing over to a nearby restaurant across the road.Elsa breathed in relief, relieved that Felix did not hear the embarrassing sound. "Eh? Sure, why not? I'm literally starving right now."With that, they began to walk towards the restaurant, side by side.As they walked into the cozy Italian restaurant, the smell of garlic and tomato sauce fi

Felix turned back to Elsa. “I have no idea... I'm just taking it one day at a time,” he replied.Turning back to the counter again, he didn't see anyone. No! His senses sharpened and his gaze began scanning the room for any sight of the old man.But much to his dismay, the man was nowhere in the restaurant. “Felix what's the ma… ” Elsa's speech was cut off when Felix stood up immediately, breathing heavily like he just saw something deadly. What was wrong?Felix had finally seen the man his eyes were on. He was outside the building, by the side of an ice cream store. He was turning back from time to time, struggling to remove the apron on his shirt as he walked down the street in a haste.Felix turned to Elsa, who was in a state of confusion. “Elsa, I'll be back. Just take the car and head back home... I need to sort out some things here.”After saying that, Felix quickly paid the bill and rushed outside, scanning the area for any sign of the man. He spotted him in the distance and

“You know you can just surrender now! I'm not gonna kill you or something; I just need answers!” Felix shouted, hoping Axe does not jump into the dead-end alley. It took him so long to finally get to this point, and he wasn't ready to let every hard work go down the drain.But before Felix could say jack, Axe took a last look at him, then ran into the open, dark cave, disappearing far into Felix's horizon.“Hey, Come back here!!! Oh, shit!!!” It took Felix self-restraint not to jump into the alley with him to pursue him. Cursing, he took out his phone and called Jake, telling him all that happened. He wasn't done yet; infact, it is still too far from the end. No matter what, he needed to get that Axe of a man. He ran back to the main road, boarded a taxi and hurried back home, different thoughts running through his head.*As Felix dashed out of the restaurant, Elsa sat there in shock, trying to process what had just happened. Her heart was beating like thuds against her chest,
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 78. Training
|In a private gym|“Alright, Elsa, today we're going to work on some basic self-defense techniques.”In the middle of a standard gym built exclusively for the Kims’, Elsa was in a sports bra and black leggings, carrying out a few stretches to prepare herself while Felix was preparing the ring for the training.“Sure!” Elsa shouted, rounding up the exercise and entering into the ring.Felix wore a short smile as she shuttled on the platform, her fists on her chin level, her ponytail dancing at her back.“Alright. But note, I am not gonna take it easy on you.” he said, clapping his hands together.“I never asked you to,” she chuckled.“Hmm,” he thought, “how about we start with a little round?”Elsa nodded in response, “whoever makes the first punch is the winner.”And soon, they were circling each other. The fight started and Elsa threw a punch but Felix was quick to see it, dodging it. But Elsa was still determined. She learnt some skills in martial arts and combat from her next door
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 79. She never misses her target!
“Hey don't be so dramatic,” Elsa rolled her eyes, still sulking over her broken knuckles. Damn! His chest is as hard as a rock!Felix laughed it off and arranged everywhere, grabbing another bottle of water to drink.After a while, Felix suggested, “should we go for a long walk down the street?" “You definitely read my mind. I also wanna go for a little sightseeing,” Elsa agreed, and they left the gym, heading outside.As they walked through the park, Felix turned to Elsa and asked, “So, how did you get into martial arts and self-defense from the start?”Elsa smiled, “I've always been interested in action movies. I love seeing the characters fight and do all those cool moves.”As she spoke, Elsa demonstrated a few moves, throwing a few punches and kicks in the air.He found it amusing and commented, “Well, you certainly have the enthusiasm for it.”Elsa smiled, and then suddenly said, “remember when I told I have a special ability you'd like to learn about while training me?”Felix r
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 80. Arrogant high schoolers
As Felix and Elsa continued walking, they turned a corner and found themselves face to face with a group of wealthy high schoolers. They were all wearing top-notch brand attires with golden chains hanging on their necks.But that wasn't what bothered Felix. It was the fact that they were smoking and inhaling some kind of substance from a paper to the extent they were so lost in it. Felix, being preoccupied with their repulsive act, accidentally bumped into one of the boys, a haughty-looking fellow with a disdainful expression. He could tell he was the leader of their gang considering the fact his aura was more imposing and his outfits were more designer than theirs. The young lad's reaction was immediate and unpleasant. "Watch where you're going, you oaf!" he spat, his voice dripping with condescension.Felix knew he was acting under the influence giving his weird behavior. Gosh! What was the world turning into? Teenagers now do drugs? “Do you know what time it is?” Felix asked,

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

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

Within minutes, the first posts started appearing on social media from accounts of Vasley employees about Diane Fox and Jericho's son, Jerry Vasley, doing drugs together.An idol from Vasley Entertainment uploaded several photos with the caption "Friends having fun at a party #oops". The pictures showed Diane, Jerry and several others passed out or engaged in drunken kissing. Meanwhile, Vito shared one of the more explicit videos on his profile.
