Chapter 9Felix eyed the container before he gave me an exasperated look. And he turned his head back towards his work. I stood there silently for what felt like an eternity, until he sighed and finally spoke. “Listen Leigh”, Felix said and l already knew what he was going to say. “I appreciate the thought, but l should have you know that l already have people who make me lunch. You didn’t have to go out of your way to do so”, he said in a disheartening tone.Immediately l felt defeated. And l retracted my hands back with the container of food I had labored for hours, preparing for my fiancé.“Now if you don’t mind, can you please wait outside and l will call one of my drivers to escort you back home”, Felix deadpanned. Focusing his attention back to his work. I could feel my heart sink into the pit of my stomach acid as Felix spoke. Why had l even thought this would be a good idea? It was clear this man wanted absolutely nothing to do with me. Despite the fact that l was his fianc

Chapter 10It had been over a week since I had been kicked out of my fiancés company building. After my attempt to make an initiative that would hopefully spark a cordial relationship between the two of us. Yet somehow, the humiliating memory was still fresh in my mind. I refrained from telling Astrid that her plan had failed. When she had called to check up on me. I did not want her thinking that she was at fault. So l lied to her and told her it had worked out great when she had called.l was sitting in my one bedroom apartment going over article’s for job offer’s. Since l no longer worked for Dylan’s father, money had become a little tight. The month was nearing an end and l still hadn’t gathered enough money for the rent. Suddenly my phone began to ring. And I scrambled off the bed to pick it up. “Hello”. “Is this Miss Ellis?”, a gruff voice asked from the other side of the phone.“Yes this is she”, l replied cautiously.“Good, this is Mr Gray. Felix’s father. I believe we haven

Chapter 11Felix’s Pov“Have you ever considered the fact that I am an actual human being and you can’t always arrange your plans around me without my knowledge or consent?”, I impatiently asked my father who was on the other side of the phone.“I want you at the mansion by noon”, was his bland response.“I can’t come, the company is in a crisis. Profit rates have been ridiculously low for the past few weeks. And one of our shipments is arriving in a few hours, l need to be there to collect the cargo”, l stressed. Hoping to draw his attention to issues of more importance. Not an inane lunch date with my so called fiancée.“Felix l want you at the mansion by noon and that’s final!”, he replied. His voice calm yet stern.“Are you even listening to me?”, l asked in frustration. “The company is at stake and all you can think about is a stupid lunch date with a girl you forced me to marry!”, l yelled. Anger now seething from my chest.“Don’t tell me bullshit about running a company that l

Chapter 12Leigh’s PovI slowly opened my eyes to find l was in a strange, dark and unfamiliar room. Both my head and eyes felt extremely heavy as l struggled to sit up.“Where am l?”, l groaned, as l tried to steady myself. Using both my hands as leverage to try and prop myself up. But the weight of my body was too heavy to be supported by my shaking arms.“Leigh, you’re awake”, an anxious male voice said from somewhere across the room.I craned my neck in the direction of the voice. Eager to see who it was. I had no recollection of what had happened to me, where l was. And whether or not l was in danger. “Where am l ?”, I repeated again. This time my question directed towards the stranger. My voice raspy from all the dryness and soreness in my throat.Suddenly the figure stepped out of the shadows and slowly walked towards the edge of the bed. It was Felix.“You’re at my fathers house. Do you not have any recollection of what happened?” Felix asked cautiously. His eyebrows furrowing

Chapter 13Felix’s Pov “What! You are flying in this weekend?”, I exclaimed in both shock and excitement. I was on the phone with my younger brother Charlie.“Yes, Felix. I can’t wait to see you”, Charlie replied excitedly from across the phone.“Me too kiddo”, l laughed. As my mind began to replay fond memories l had shared with my younger brother. Before he had left for college two years ago in China.Growing up Charlie and l had always been close. He was a only year younger than me but I still treated him like a little child. Not in a disrespectful or devaluing manner. But because after our mother left. Charlie was the only family besides my father l had left.Charlie had been born as a premature child. So he was extremely sick and weak most of his childhood. As a result, l had to help my mother take care of him very often. And once my mother left us when I was ten and Charlie was only nine. The responsibility of looking after my younger brother had fallen onto me entirely.And for

Chapter 14Leigh’s Pov I unconsciously held my breath the moment l stepped inside the new house. No words could even begin to describe how magnificent the house was. It was wide and enormous but somehow had a cozy feeling to it. The interior was astonishing with a chic marble design.I could not even begin to fathom the idea that this was going to be my new house. Mr Gray had said my father and him had brought the property for Felix and l as a pre-advance wedding gift. But l doubted my father could even afford to buy a place like this.“This place is amazing daddy”, l heard Claire say as she emerged from what appeared to be the living room. Her grating voice echoing throughout the empty house.Felix’s response was a low, “yeah”.“I think it’s beautiful”, I said, as l mindlessly ran my hand on the kitchen wall. Felix gave me a quick glance but didn’t say anything. I surveyed the rest of the house in silence. Trying my best to be as inconspicuous as possible. Blending shamelessly into

Chapter 15Felix’s Pov “I see you haven’t changed a bit”, Charlie, my younger brother said casually. As l opened the door to my apartment that Saturday morning.“Charlie! Jesus fucking Christ. When did you get here?”, I asked in both glee and disbelief.Although l had been anticipating Charlie’s arrival. I had not expected him to show up at my doorstep that early in the morning without notice. Regardless, l was more delighted than surprised to see him.“Aren’t you happy to see me? I got your address from father. So l thought l could surprise you”, Charlie said jauntily as he let himself in. “I admittedly went to look for you at father’s house and was surprised to hear that you had moved out” , he continued.“Yes. I moved out as soon as you left. I couldn’t bare to stay with that old man for another second”, l replied bitterly. As l began to make myself some coffee.After my father had given me the company. Charlie had made the decision to go and study as a pediatrician in China. I w

Chapter 16Leigh’s Pov The weekend sped by. And before l knew it. It was already the day Felix and l would be moving into our new house. I looked at my apartment one last time. Before l picked up the last of my packed stuff. I was unhappy to move but l sure wasn’t going to miss this place. It had been a temporary and cheap solution after Dylan had kicked me out of his apartment. Hence the living conditions had been unsafe and unpleasant. I had to barricade the door with a chair every night because the lock was broken.Even though the whole engagement situation was unpleasant. I was glad l at least got something good out if it. Now l was going to be living in a large and possibly safer house than l could ever afford. Even if it was with a man l barely knew anything about. “Goodbye sweetie, come visit me soon”, Mr Fagger, the middle aged man that owned the building said with a disgusting wink. His tobacco stained teeth showing as his lips curled up into a sinister smile. Just as l
