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.

    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.

    "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

    Laila went down to have breakfast with her father and greeted him as she usually did before sitting down next to him at the table.Just then, one of the security guards came in and greeted Sultan."What is it? Why are you in here?" Sultan asked the security guard."I'm sorry sir. I just came to inform you that there is a man here who wants to see you." the security guard replied."Name?" Sultan asked.The security guard suddenly started acting confused, "Sir, I'm so sorry. I won't make this mistake again. I forgot to ask about his name.""No problem. Go back and ask him then you return here and tell me." Sultan said, taking both the security guard and his daughter, Laila.Usually, Sultan would fire such people who couldn't do their jobs properly and replace them in a matter of minutes."Thank you sir." the security guard said and left."That was new," Laila said."What was?" Sultan asked her."You forgave him that easily?" Laila questioned."Who said I did?" Sultan questioned back.Be

    "Who knew I'd be marrying into such a family?" Levi said, visibly sad."What's wrong dear?" Laila asked him."Nothing. I'm just extremely happy." Levi said, letting out tears and smiling at the same time."I'm happy you two chose to let me in even when I have no one in my lineage who is still alive. I'm the only one and... Just... Thank you, Mr Sultan. I won't disappoint you." Levi said."I don't plan on getting disappointed," Sultan said."And call me father-in-law," Sultan told Levi.Levi laughed, "Sorry about that father-in-law." Levi said and Laila gave him a worm hug."Well, I'm off to work. I will make some calls from there." Sultan said and got up. He left the mansion with just Laila and Levi staying back."So it's finally happening..." Laila said.*Gordon Calderon's mansion*"How the fuck did I get myself stuck in this position?! I'm not the same anymore and it's because of that God damn Felix!" Mary said, making a mess of her hair in her bedroom."Woah, that's not a good look

    "How long do you plan on keeping that up? I mean, lying to your father like that has to end by your hands or by some circumstances." Patrick asked Mary."I will keep it up for as long as I want to. That should not be of any concern to you." Mary replied."I need some private time to think," Mary added.Patrick rolled his eyes and began leaving, "alright." he said and then shut Mary's bedroom door.Mary sat down on her bed, rethinking everything and letting her heart tear itself into pieces.The wedding ceremony began and ended, its location is the wide open backyard of Sultan's mansion in New York.Levi was busy alongside Laila with the guests, greeting and discussing with them when Levi caught sight of someone from the corner of his eye.Levi was shocked to the bone and was sure that something was wrong with him.Levi made his way into the mansion and began looking around frantically."Levi!"

    "You think this is funny don't you?" 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.

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."
