By the time he got home, it was late in the evening. And as expected, Meq Carlos was never around. He took a shower and did the honour of taking care of the baby.

Inasmuch as he wanted to ignore the child, Dice didn't have anything to do with his problems. He just had the worst luck, being born to a mother like Meq.

Just as he was about to get his good-evening-sleep and recover from the shock he received today, a loud roar stopped him.

"FELIX!!!"

Sigh... Oh, damn. It was none other than Kate, his so-called mother-in-law.

He walked into the living, and met Kate painting her nails. Typical Kate Carlos.

"You called for me, ma," Felix said in a casual tone, his hands tucked into his pockets.

Kate looked up and saw his behavior. Their eyes met but Felix kept staring into her eyes. There was something different from Felix today.

Before, he couldn't even stand in front of her without looking down but now, he was looking directly into her eyes which he was afraid of doing for a very long time.

What came over this idiot overnight?

Kate felt like yelling at him for the new behavior but just decided to say the reason why she called him.

"There's nothing to eat in the house. Go prepare something for me to eat," Kate ordered, still acting bossy.

Not to disrespect her, Felix nodded but without shivering or being afraid as before.

"Alright, so what do you want?" Felix raised a brow.

"Hey, will you get your hands of your pocket!... Am talking and your shitty hands are inside your pockets?! Are you insane??!!!"

After listening to whatever Kate had to say, Felix rolled his eyes and removed his hands from his pockets.

"Happy now?" He smiled to Kate then went into the kitchen leaving a dumbstruck Kate on the couch.

"What the..."

...

Felix prepared a plate of Meatloaf and Ketchup for Kate, served her and went to his room.

He, then lay down on the bed, thinking of the events that unfolded right in his eyes.

Suddenly, a message beeped into his phone from P****l.

"An amount of 20 billion dollars has been credited to your account."

Felix sprang up immediately he saw the contents, his eyes flew wide open.

He almost screamed out loud in surprise if not for his hands that were covering his mouth.

What in the world!!

It wasn't $20,000.

Nor $20 million.

A whopping sum of 20 billion US-dollars!!

A call came in from an unknown caller as he picked it.

"Son, have you seen it?" Came the deep voice of his father, Kimber Kim.

"Ye... Yes... Yes, dad... That's way too much!!!" He stammered in his speech, voice full of disbelief.

"Oh come on son, what I sent to you was just chicken change. You should use it for the meantime as your pocket money. Also, I already bought the company."

"Thanks... thanks a lot dad. I do appreciate it," his face was full of smiles.

"Enjoy your day," Kimber Kim smiled then cut the call.

Felix stared at the balance again to be sure he wasn't daydreaming.

His story had finally been changed.

After a few minutes, he received a text message from the number which he saved as, "Father"

"Boy, I forget to add something, there's something about that company you need to know."

Another one came in immediately.

"Let's meet up at my Villa. I'll get someone to pick you up."

...

Casa Grandeur.

Under the white blooming stars reflecting the dark sky, a black car was moving speedily along the outskirts and entered into a somewhat exclusive Villa.

Casa Grandeur Villa was the most famous, upscale and trend-setting Villas in MoperVille City. Mountains and rivers surrounded the area and blessed it with an exceptionally beautiful scenery.

Briskly, Felix walked towards the Villa and halted when he saw the Butler from the other day, dressed in his formal uniform, at the entrance.

"Welcome Young master. The elder master is at the terrace waiting to see you,"

He directed Felix to the posh terrace at the side of the building where he saw his father, legs crossed in a curved sofa, sipping a glass of cocktail while going through some papers.

"Good evening dad," he greeted Kimber Kim with a smile as the latter raised his head as he dropped the glass and papers on the cocktail table.

"Hey son, you're here already," he stood up, a wide grin forming on his old face as he patted Felix's hair.

Felix took his seat beside Kimber Kim, "yeah dad.... Besides you said something like there's something I need to know about the company?"

"Yes Felix." Kimber Kim's expression turned serious as he sat down, then tossed the papers he was reading to Felix.

"I did a background check and found out that there's someone in A.X. Corporation working for the spy at one of my companies."

"Huh? A spy?" Felix frowned and read the contents of the paper, then looked back up. "Have you found out who this person is?... And the spy?" He asked and Kimber Kim shook his head in the negative.

"If we can get that person working for the spy, we'll be able to get the spy and hence, the main enemy. I can't wait to get all these done with and teach that motherfucker a lesson he will live to remember in hell!"

Felix thought for a while then came up with something. He immediately turned to his father, "be a liar to catch a liar, be a spy to catch a spy"

"Huh?" Kimber Kim frowned, not understanding his son's parables.

"Dad, what if I work in that A.X to catch the spy?"

" Ohh... That's perfect!... You know you're just like me!" Kimber Kim's tone was full of proudness for his son, causing Felix's face to flush a little.

"Thanks..."

"I will be working there, as an intern in the company"

" Alright that will be okay, You should start your work by tomorrow, my COO, Scott will handle everything." Kimber Kim said, referring to his right hand man, Scott Hitler.

"Sure, dad."

They chatted for a little more while, enjoying the cool breeze in the starry night until it was time to bid goodbye.

" Just want to intern in the finance department of the company." "That will be better, you need to stay undercover to avoid taking unnecessary risks." " Yeah, dad.

Fred was about to run when the guards held him and pushed him down to Kimber Kim's feet."Trying to outsmart me?" * Felix already knew that his suspicions were right.

    "What a pleasant surprise! I never knew you it'll be you again... Fred." Fred, the one in black, was extremely stupefied on seeing Felix. On the other hand, Kimber Kim's lips curved upwards a bit. 'Such a grand entrance! Keep it up boy!' It took Fred a minute to process the whole situation before he began laughing again."How can a houseboy from nowhere claim that he is the heir to a powerful empire? What the heck is wrong with this motherfucker?"Felix scoffed. Walking towards them, he said, "You don't seem to believe me... Mr Fred Meyer?""Are you crazy? Who will believe a dummy like you who can't take proper care of his wife? Or.. oh... Let's say she is the one taking care of you! Of course you are a bastard with no future.

    Fred scurried off the building with his guards, leaving only Kim and Felix in the uncompleted building."Felix!" Kimber Kim started. "I knew you wouldn't disappoint me! My son!" He smiled happily as he patted Felix's hair. "Though I expected you to be good at fighting, I never knew you'd be that good!" Felix walked up to him."Am a little bit good at it, I just don't show it out and besides, there haven't been any reason for me to fistfight," Felix said.Kimber Kim nodded and put his hands on Felix shoulder."Felix, with the way things are going, I think it's almost time to show the whole world that my son is alive. My true heir is alive." Kimber Kim said in a half-worried tone."The company's anniversary is around the corner. Soon, I will be announcing you as the heir to Kim's empire, but for now, you just have to remain undercover." Felix understood what he said but was still overwhelmed at the thought.

He was just too glad he now had someone to call a family member.He strode into the CEO'S office and met his father working tirelessly but as soon as he saw Felix, his mood lightened."Dad? I hope I'm not interrupting anything?" Felix asked, sitting down."No son, there's nothing much to do here. Hey, is everything alright?" Kimber Kim asked, noticing his not-so-cool mood."There is a lady here called Monica Shaw, right?" Felix began. He already did his check on her."Mmm... Monica Shaw..." Kimber Kim said, tapping his jaw while thinking. "Well if I am not mistaken she should be the head of the sales department... Yeah."Felix scoffed. "I don't think she is of use to this company anymore.""You want her sacked? Did she offend you?" Kimber Kim asked in concern. "A lot! I don't even wan

He couldn't wait to see the expression on their faces when...The call went through, interrupting his thoughts. He placed the phone to his ear and spoke, "Some lousy ladies won't let me in!" "What! How dare they!" Kimber Kim shouted and Felix could hear him slamming his hands on a table.

If his employees were to see him, they would not believe that it's him at all.

    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

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.

    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

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.

    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
