"Wake up! Wake up! You can't do this now! Not now! It's too early to go!" Felix cried out and held the lifeless bodies of Daniel and Ana close to himself, staining himself with their blood."It should have been me," Felix whispered as he stared at the engagement ring on Ana's finger."You finally got your freedom from being Lorenzo's servant and then..." the words got hooked in Felix's throat.He turned to look at Daniel."She said yes," Felix said, a faint smile on his face. "Wake up. How can you protect her when you're dead? How?! You promised to protect her!" Felix shouted."Excuse me, sir." Felix heard a voice. He was so drowned in his sorrows that he didn't even realize someone had walked into the house.Felix got up and then turned around to see a man dressed in a suit and adjusting his glasses.Felix grabbed the man by the collar aggressively. "Who permitted you to come in here?! Are you the one responsible for this?!" Felix asked, ready to tear the man apart."No sir. Please y
*Location, New York*Mary and Felix got off the plane and some men came to attend to Mary immediately by taking her pieces of luggage and some standing next to and behind her as bodyguards.Felix even got pushed aside by the one who came to Mary's left side and Mary shifted that man back."Watch it! I can have you killed just for that!!" Mary said, threateningly."I'm sorry miss." the man apologized and gave space.Mary sighed, already pissed with their behaviour."Who are they?" Felix asked Mary, curious."They are few of my father's men sent to protect me till I get home to him even when I made it clear to him that I can handle myself and I do not need protection," Mary answered.There was a limousine waiting for Mary outside the airport and she went in with Felix."So, now we are headed for your father's location?" Felix questioned."Yes," Mary answered.The door to the limousine was closed by one of the men and Mary relaxed her back on the seat."That was a damn long flight," she
After Felix was led away to be shown his room by the maid, Mary got up to leave for her's."Hold on Mary," Gordon said.Mary stopped in her tracks and turned to face her father, "yes Father?""I want you to answer me with the absolute truth Mary. It's about that boy." Gordon said."He's a man, not a boy, Dad." Mary rolled her eyes.Ignoring his daughter's reply, Gordon went ahead to ask, "Why did you propose to marry him?"Mary stayed quiet for a while as her father awaited her answer to his question.Gordon scoffed and shook his head, "Chasing after your best friend's boyfriend isn't a good colour on you my dear." he said to Mary.Mary refuses to speak a word to her father on the topic and just walked off while Gordon watched until she was out of his sight.With a serious look on his face, Gordon called on a maid."Sir?" the maid said, her head bowed while she stood before him."Get me, Patrick," Gordon instructed.The maid left and then returned with a man following her. "Here he is
*The next day*Felix woke up stretching on his bed and then yawning. He sat up and waited a bit to rest some more before he went to the bathroom.Felix brushed his teeth and had his bath. He had a towel around his waist when he heard a knock on his front door.Felix went ahead to open the door and he saw Mary there. Mary looked up from her phone and felt embarrassed. She blushed and looked back down at her phone."I just came to inform you that you will be having breakfast with me and my dad this morning. He invited you." Mary said."Okay," Felix replied.Mary nervously fidgeted with her fingers and walked away. Felix closed the door, put on trousers only and walked down the stairs."I forgot I came here with nothing. My clothes are too dirty to wear but I wore the trouser just to cover up." Felix said. His shirt stunk so bad that he couldn't wear it even if he wanted to."Sorry, I'm late," Felix said and took his seat with them at the table.Mary looked at Felix and blushed again. Se
A sack was put over Felix's head again and he was taken into the car once more.First, Patrick dropped off Felix in his new house and the sack was removed."That's your new home now. Far away from Mary." Patrick whispered to Felix and walked back to the car.Patrick and Mr Gordon drive off leaving Felix on his own in front of the house in a place he hasn't lived before.Felix was about to ask for the house key but found it in his pocket.Felix opened the door and the house looked like he has already been living there for a while."These people are good." Felix thought.Sultan arrives in New York City and breathes in the air at the airport."Ah, finally a change of atmosphere," he said.Sultan turned back, "Why is it taking you so long to get the luggage out?!" he shouted at his men who were rushing to him with the luggage the moment they heard him shout.There was one particularly heavy box that made one of Sultan's men sweat profusely as he carried it and moved slowly towards Sultan.
"Sorry, excuse me, sir," Levi said, glancing at Sultan's face. Sultan was one foot taller than Levi and so Levi had to look upward as he glanced sideways to see his face.Just as Levi was walking passed Sultan into the mansion, Sultan called him."Boy." Levi stopped beside Sultan to listen, keeping his eyes forward and paying close attention, "Don't ever repeat this," Sultan warned and walked off, leaving Levi standing at the door.Sultan's car door was opened for him by one of his bodyguards and he got into the car before the driver started the car and drove off."So that is Sultan." Levi thought to himself."You idiot! What was all that? What are you even here for fuck's sake?!" Mr Gordon yelled at Levi."Relax. He didn't recognize me did he?" Levi replied to Gordon."Don't speak to me so casually. We are not friends whatsoever." Gordon warned Levi."As you wish," Levi replied."Count yourself lucky that we went on with this face change on time. Or else, I wouldn't have hesitated
Sultan watched as a stranger dropped off his daughter and even dared to hug her. Sultan couldn't see the person's face because he had his face and back turned against the mansion.Laila entered the mansion and met her father standing and watching her so intensely."Good evening Dad." Laila greeted."Who was that man that dropped you off?" Sultan asked Laila."Just a friend of mine," she answered."I haven't taken you with me to New York before," Sultan stated.Laila rolled her eyes, "it doesn't mean I can't make friends, Dad. I have nothing else to do and you are always off to work no matter where it is you go. Do you want me to live a lonely and boring life here?" Laila said, making puppy dog eyes in front of Sultan.Sultan watched his daughter's behaviour and said to her, "So this is why you were so happy in the morning? You have met up with that man even before now, haven't you? While I was gone at night wasn't it?" Sultan asked Laila and she went silent."I don't know why you are
After the phone call between Gordon and Levi ended, Mary went to her father to inquire about it."What happened, Dad? What was the phone call all about?" she asked."Some gibberish nonsense about Sultan wanting to do a background check on him," Gordon replied Mary."Oh no no no. I hope he does well. I don't want him getting caught. He shouldn't dare to get caught or else Sultan..." Mary thought to herself."You know, I'm starting to regret even helping him with this. What if that Sultan finds out? What next? He better not be an idiot and screw it all up." Gordon said, getting seated on the sofa closest to him."Naturally, anyone who chooses to stand against Sultan is a fool but Dad? I think... No! I believe that Felix will be successful." Mary said."Call him Levi and not Felix."Gordon rubbed his fingers on his forehead in frustration, "who knows? He might not even be the one to ruin everything but your mouth." Gordon complained."He's not even here. I can call him whatever." Mary re
