“I-I'm s-sorry. I never meant to do that?” she stammered with her head low.Felix frowned and lowered his gaze at her.“ Look me in the face and tell me if I look like someone who can believe your lies.”As soon as she heard that, she felt tears gathering in her eyes. She suppressed her tears because she knew that tears would not help her.She slowly raised her head and glanced at Felix's face, and then quickly averted her gaze away.“Forgive me, sir. It isn't what you think, please.” she fell on her knees and pleaded.“And how did you know what I'm thinking, huh?” he yelled at her. He averted his gaze to Kate and said to her.“ Since I stepped into this house, I noticed that there is something fishy about this maid. Thankfully, her identity is gradually revealed. Is this how she has been behaving?”“Erm…no.” Kate shook her head.“ However, I also noticed that she's hiding something from me, which I'm yet to find out what it is
Upon seeing how angry Felix became, Alicia quickly lowered her gaze as fear ruled over her.She could feel Felix's gaze on her, and she was confused about what to tell Felix so that she wouldn't be hurt by him. If not for Charlotte, maybe Felix would have beat the hell out of her when he caught her eavesdropping on their conversation.“Who are you working for?” Felix asked through gritted teeth as he glared at Alicia with reddish eyes.Alicia opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out of her mouth; rather, she found herself thinking about the best lie to tell Felix.“Answer me, b*tch!” he roared, causing Alicia to flinch in fear.“I… I'm not working for anyone, except my mistress.” she stammered as she fearfully pressed her palms against her thighs.“Don't pretend as if you didn't understand my question. Who sent you here, and why are you trying to escape at this time of the night? Speak now before I get you arrested.” he grimaced, inching his face closer to her with anger.“Forgi
It was dawn, and Felix woke up as early as possible and went to Alicia's room to check on her before he could call the police on her.As soon as he opened the door, what he set eyes on left him speechless and stunned.“This is not possible.” Felix muttered with his eyes wide open.“ This girl can't die in my house.” Without thinking twice, he ran back upstairs and called his sister and his girlfriend to come and witness what he was seeing.Upon getting to the door, both Kate and Charlotte froze. “What?” the two ladies said in chorus.Alicia had a sleepless night because of the current situation. She knew that her end had come, and she was left with no choice but to harvest what she planted a year ago.She thought of the best way to settle everything, but nothing came up in her mind, leaving her restless. Furthermore, she wept throughout the night until an idea finally popped up in her mind.The best that came up in her mind was to commit suicide and end her life, and she indeed did w
Now, Kate gave Felix Aidan's house address as she agreed to handle Alicia's case with the police.However, as soon as Felix and Charlotte got to the estate gate, they were stopped by the estate security.“Hey, man. May I know you and the purpose of your coming?” one of the estate security inquired as he rested his left hand on the taxi.“Hmm…” Felix was lost about what to say.“I'm here to see my boss, sir,” said Charlotte with a calm face.The gatekeeper chuckled and asked,“ Who is your boss? Is he aware that you're coming?”“His name is Aidan Frederick. And…no, he is not aware of my coming. It's just a surprise visit.” she responded.“I'm sorry, madam. But we don't entertain surprise visits here. You must inform the person who you want to visit so that the person can inform us, or else you won't be permitted to enter the estate, my dear. That's one of the rules governing this estate.” the gatekeeper explained.They tried to convince the security officer, but he gave them deaf ears, i
Within a few minutes, Sharon arrived at Aidan's house. “Sorry for the interruption, sir.” said Wayne to Aidan.“ Sharon is here." “Wait, what?” Aidan was shocked to hear that. He recalled contacting Sharon, but she never wanted to talk to him.“Did you invite her or did she come all by herself?” Aidan inquired.“Well, I invited her over, so we can discuss something crucial with you and this young man sitting here.” Wayne pointed at Felix and Felix became scared, thinking that Wayne might have reported him to Sharon, so she could come with the police to arrest him.Upon seeing how Felix was panicking, Wayne said to him,“ You don't need to panic, please. No one is going to harm you. I have a message for you all. And I want us to team up and work together, okay? So, be calm.”Felix was a bit calm, but he was yet to be sure that the police hadn't called upon him to come and arrest him.He nodded his head as if he were peaceful, but he was having a restless mind.“Please let her in,” said
“Now that everyone is aware of who was the cause of all this misunderstanding, what do you suggest we should do as a team to hunt him down?” Wayne asked with an angry expression.Everyone's faces in the living room had turned pale as they thought of the best way to handle the situation at hand.“I suggest we report to the police as soon as possible. How about that…?” Charlotte submitted.“No!” Felix cut in sharply.“ The police shouldn't be informed. My old friends and I will take care of it. Give me just two days and I will present Antonio's and his friend's dead bodies to you. Trust me, he must have planned to flee from the country. Yes. Because his girlfriend, Alicia, tried to sneak out of the house last night until I caught her.” Felix explained.“No, Felix. You and your friends might not be able to handle this alone. You need the police to back you up. No one can know how well-prepared Antonio and his friend are now. Do not take the law into the house, either. Perhaps, it's the po
Felix and Charlotte arrived home after leaving Aidan's mansion. Thankfully, before they got home, Kate was done dealing with Alicia's case with the police. Alicia's body was brought down and taken away. However, before the police could do that, she got in touch with Alicia's family.Yeah, Alicia was brought from a company where young ladies are hired who wish to work as maids to earn a living. So, getting her parents wasn't tough because the company had her details written down by the company.Just as Felix and Charlotte step foot into the living room, they find Kate lying on one of the sofas with a sad face, with her gaze on the television set before her. She was probably watching news on the television because there was no one to keep her company, causing the house to be boring as it always is.“Hey, welcome back home.” Kate sat properly and welcomed the two young couples.“ Charlotte, were you able to see your boss?”Before Charlotte could open her mouth and answer Kate, Felix had
Later that night, Felix prepared to leave the house for the club, where he knew that he would find his old friends so that they could plan how to hunt Antonio.He was standing a few inches away from the house entrance, while Charlotte stood beside him with Felix's hand in her palms.On the other hand, was Kate standing opposite them with her arms crossed over her chest. Her face was still looking downcast because of what Felix told her about Antonio. The news was still ringing in her memory like a dream.“Try to communicate with Aidan tonight, please. He might have something important to tell you.” Felix conversed with Kate.She nodded her head without saying a word. “Hmm… I wanted to suggest something. Am I permitted?” Charlotte spoke in a calm voice.“Why not? You are already part of this family. So go ahead and speak, darling.” Felix quickly responded to her.“Alright.” Charlotte nodded and said,“ To make things easier, I will submit that Kate should call her ex-boyfriend and tal
