*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

    "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 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

    After working the whole day, Levi returned home and fell on his bed. He sat up and then took the invitation in his hand again."It's tomorrow. I guess I'll be skipping work," he said and put the invitation aside.Levi fell asleep and ended up sleeping more than he expected. When he woke up he checked the time and saw that it was eight thirty AM."Oh shit!" he cursed.Levi got up quickly and had a quick shower before throwing on some clothes to match the event."So much for first impressions matter," he said to himself as he watched his wristwatch and realized he had five minutes left.Levi put on some perfume and locked his front door before driving off into his car.After arriving in front of Sultan's mansion, Levi checked his time again and he was five minutes late.The gates were opened and Levi was allowed to drive in.After getting down from his car, Levi was met with a hug from Laila, "Welcome!

    "Feel free to join us for cake," Sultan said.Patrick and Mary sat on the sofa opposite Sultan and the maid served them a cake.The wine was brought out as well and everyone got an equal serving in their class cups.Levi's anger was mounting as he watched Mary and Patrick sit down like it was no big deal that they showed up there.Levi felt something cracking and he quickly reduced his firm grip on his glass cup before it could end up shattering.Mary, on the other hand, kept giving Laila and Levi weird looks each time she sipped on the wine.Patrick tapped Mary and she looked somewhere else. Just then, Sultan makes eye contact with Mary.She was relieved that he didn't catch her watching his daughter and Levi so intently.The rest of the hours were so awkward and then came the time to leave.

    "Return to your room. You're not meant to frolic about in my mansion." Sultan said to Sami.Sami left the living room and went up to the room on the top floor which no one went to."It's been a while now. Weeks back since after I escaped Felix that I began living under the roof of Sultan. I was the one who told Sultan who Felix was and where he lives. It's because of me that Daniel and Ana were killed. I only regret what happened because Felix still lives after all that. Now, somehow, not even Sultan knows Felix's location. We only got word that he was seen in Gordon Calderon's mansion but after that poof! He vanished out of thin air." Sami recollected.Sami lay down on his bed and faced the ceiling. "Then again it's possible that he is being hidden by Gordon and this Levi was sent by Felix," Sami said and grabbed a pillow, covering his face with it."Damn it! Where are you, Felix?!"*Levi's house*Levi paced left and right in the living room. "Such an error is sure not to get Unnoti

    "Let me walk you home." Levi offered."You didn't come with your car?" Laila asked.Levi scratched the back of his head nervously, "not really." he answered. "I'm sorry I kind of forgot I had a car. I was so eager to meet up with you." Levi explained further.Laila laughed and then her mood changed afterwards."Levi? Why did you propose to me out of the blue?" Laila asked him.Levi went silent for some time."I had to," he answered."I don't understand.""I mean, what if I lose you to someone else while waiting for my heart to fully be ready?" Levi asked Laila."But there is no one else. It's just you." Laila stated."Yes. That's how it was between me and my childhood crush. I didn't propose to her on time. Some other guy did and she married him because he was rich. She even mentioned to me how she loved me and waited for me but I didn't act like I noticed or planned to propose." Levi explained."Oh... I'm sorry about that." Laila said, feeling sad."No worries. It's not your fault. A

Sultan asked, noticing the grin on Felix's face."I do but I'm not sure of how you would take it when the truth about your fraudulent practices and scandals gets out in the open. You may kill me because of it but I assure you I lost nothing."

What do you want?!" he asked Sultan."Lower your voice when speaking to me," Sultan said, calmly.Gordon felt his breath get wedged in his throat as he held back his contradicting emotions. What happened tonight made him hate Sultan even more than he did before."Why are you calling me? I just left from meeting you." Gordon said, in a calmer time than the first."That's more like it," Sultan said, causing Gordon to grit his teeth."I called to give you a warning. I don't remember if I already told you before or not but all I know is that I am saying it now. The meeting between us should be kept a secret from Levi. Remember that he lives with me. if I get the slightest hint that he knows anything..." Sultan paused to let his words sink in."Then what?

    Sami returned to Sultan's mansion and informed him of all that happened.Sultan only listened and didn't bother to say anything."Aren't you going to say something? Sorry, I failed but I think it is less of my fault and more of the fault of the men you sent. Levi saw them and faked the rest of the way." Sami explained."I have to get my hands on Gordon and ask him directly. If he is sensible enough, he will tell the truth and stop hiding Felix. I already know Levi and Felix are one person. But I think I will need Gordon's help in my next move." Sultan said."Last I heard, he is a well-guarded man. If you plan to kidnap him then it won't work."
