2025-11-16 10:35:23When he went into the house she still followed him in.
“Babe,” she called for the umpteenth time since their joint journey in the elevator.
Felix was over it. He didn’t answer her and just headed towards the bedroom, trying to take off his shirt.
“At least talk to me. Did I do something wrong? Because if I fucked up somehow, you need to tell me. You can’t just ice me out like this. It's so not fair.”
All Felix wanted to do was just sleep and she wouldn’t even give him the peace of doing that. He left her alone in the room and went to shower, came back out ready to sleep and she was still there. He got into bed and pulled the covers over himself.
“You can’t just shut me out.” Bianca sat on the bed with her arms wrapped tight around herself. “I deserve better than this.”
“Okay, fine. I’m sorry, okay, babe? Whatever I did or w

Felix now stood still on the second step of his staircase, turning back around. He hoped in that moment that he would see a sign that what he had heard was a joke or the dramatic flourish that would reveal this as one of her usual manipulations. There was neither. She was serious.“I’m sorry. You did what?”“Made an alliance with the Ellington family.” Agnes smiled. It was the satisfied smile of a chess player who had finally manoeuvred all her pieces into position.“Between you and Jonathan Ellington’s oldest daughter. It’s been in discussion for some time now, and I wanted to wait until we finalised everything.”He stood there in shock trying to process and be and just heard? Was it the fact that she had just casually mentioned that she arranged a marriage? Or the fact that it was going to be with the Ellington family? One of the wealthiest and most influential families in the country. The Morells were on th

The house was quiet, almost peacefully so. Not until the doorbell blared noisily. Felix dragged himself to the front door, the sound of the bell still sounding somewhere in his skull. He dragged his slippers on the floor and the shuffle-slap of each step announced his passage through the house. He’s not had enough sleep for the past few days due to work, that much was obvious from the tiredness under his eyes.The bell rang again impatiently. He knew that impatience before his hand even touched the door handle. When he opened the door Agnes stood on the other side with a serious look“Mom?”She pushed her way past him before the word finished leaving his mouth and her heels loudly struck the entryway floor.“Get me water,” she said to him.Felix stood at the open door for a moment longer, as he watched his mother claim territory in his living room. He shut the door slowly, buying himself the seconds it took the e-latch to click in place.“You didn’t tell me you were coming over.”“Do

Wren had assumed that her silence on the matter communicated everything that needed to be said to her father. That she would rather set herself on fire than fall into that trap twice. Jonathan, of all people, should be on board with that. He was the loudest voice against her marriage to Felix three years ago.So what changed?“I want to believe that you rejected their proposal,” Wren said.Jonathan sighed. “I’ve never told you this, but the Morells and the Ellingtons go way back, even before you were born.”That information was both surprising and not. Wren could feel the slow slide of a knife out of its sheath.“What does that have to do with anything?”Something told Wren a trap was about to be laid at her feet. But she remained seated and listened anyway. Mostly because she understood that leaving now would only delay the inevitable.“Your grandfather and Ashton Morell (Felix’s late grandfath

The door to Jonathan Ellington’s private lounge sighed shut behind Wren, sealing her in a vault of silence. A room most of the household staff never set foot in, and one that Wren herself could count on a single hand how many times she had entered as a child.Her father stood at a low table of hematite, pouring cognac into a glass. He didn’t turn as she entered, and his focus was absolute, as if the act of decanting liquor demanded monastic devotion. Jonathan Ellington at sixty-three was still an imposing figure, not in the brutish sense. His greying hair was swept back from a face that had aged well, too well perhaps.The sound of liquid meeting glass was the only one in the room for a couple of seconds Jonathan looked at her.“Cognac,” he said. He poured a second glass without waiting for her response.Wren did not move away from her position near the door. The room itself was tastefully sparse with nothing so predictable as oak panels and hunting portraits. Jonathan always favoured

Dinner unfolded in the cavernous Ellington dining room, and amidst it, under the eyes of everyone else she had hoped to forever escape from, Wren felt like an exhibit pinned under their glares.Jonathan, carving the roast beef on his plate, started, “Omar made sure to brief me about how resourceful you’ve been in the MHM acquisition. Impressive.” A worker now placed a portion of the same beef in front of Wren. His praise sounded as dry as a stock report if you asked Wren.“And this Solace Heights development was an unconventional approach.”“A profitable approach, clearly,” Wren corrected.“Mm,” Jonathan chewed and then swallowed.“She’s been absolutely remarkable,” Anthonia interjected with a warmth that made Wren’s skin crawl. “Hasn’t she, darling? When I read about the groundbreaking ceremony in Architectural Digest, I told Jonathan—I said, that’s our Wre
Once An Overlooked Housewife, Now A Queen Of Fortune Chapter 110 Homecoming.
How ironically strange was it that the weather was looking so bad at the exact time she was returning home?16-year-old Wren, under a similar rain had run away from home with nothing but a small duffel bag, with a heart full of so much despair. She has promised herself she would become someone who never had to come back. Funny how that promise worked out.There was already an SUV waiting for them at the private terminal, and a figure holding an umbrella by the rear door.After some formalities, they headed straight for the car. It was comfortably warm inside.And as soon as Wren was in, Kael said to her, “Gimme a minute,” and then he looked through the passenger window, to the driver, “Don’t take your eyes off her till I’m back.”“Kael?” Wren followed his retreating figure with a slow turn of her head. He was headed towards a small convenience store at the edge of the terminal.She was still smiling faintl
