Felicia's POV
As I felt like someone was following me, I immediately ran in the opposite direction and hid among the trees. However, not far away, I spotted a yacht with a man aboard, as if he was in a movie, dramatically embracing the breeze that hit his face.
Though my vision was a bit blurry, I couldn't recognize who he was. I hadn't eaten yet, and I still felt dizzy. My mind wasn't functioning properly. I glanced back at the direction I came from and saw that no one was following me. So, I made the decision to approach the yacht the man was using. That would be my means of escape from this place.
I walked cautiously, making sure I would reach there without being caught. As I proceeded along the path, I was puzzled to see a flat expanse of grass not far away. There were also gardens and a fountain. Wait! Above all, there was a mansion! Why would there be a mansion in this place?!

Felicia's POVHis expression changed. I had forgotten that he had been drinking, which explained his slightly glazed eyes. "Follow me," he said, and began walking. I obediently trailed behind him.Due to the vastness of the mansion, it took us a few minutes to reach a room. In front of us stood a magnificent door. He opened it, revealing a spacious office. Large bookshelves lined the walls, filled with books and documents in cartons and folders. In the center, there was an office table with a swivel chair. Two chairs were placed in front of the table for potential guests.I stood at the doorway while Kalixo held the door to prevent it from closing. His expression was serious, as if I were a candidate he was about to interview. "You can either come in willingly or I'll drag you in. You want answers, don't you?"I didn't reply and walked into his office. I heard the door close behind me, but I noticed

Morning came. I couldn't sleep properly. Who could sleep well in a situation like this? I was kidnapped, and they planned to use my company for their drug operations, which was Kalixo's surprise for his father. They even intended to involve me in the transactions, using my name. My status as number one would be used to boost drug sales, like sales skyrocketing due to the influence of an endorser. Just like my new shoe model that was recently launched. Its sales exceeded my expectations. Sometimes advertising has a significant impact. There was a knock on the door, and it opened. It was Maria, pushing a cart with a tray of food. Compared to the meals she used to cook for me when I was in the old house, this food looked delicious. I was attacked by a sense of shame. I was locked up here, and it seemed like life was still comfortable. These might be my last moments because I felt like I would eventually die. This was my current situation while I knew that my parents had almost lost the

Felicia POVToday is the day when Kalixo is absent. I woke up early in the morning hoping to escape from Kalixo's men, but as soon as I stepped out of my room, two guards were stationed in front of the door. They followed me like obedient shadows wherever I went in this mansion.I noticed that one of the guards had a phone in the right pocket of his pants. If I could get hold of it, I could make a call to my family and let them know that I'm safe and there's no need to worry.I turned into a different direction, not knowing the layout of Kalixo's mansion, so I had no idea where I was headed. I discreetly glanced at the guards from time to time as I pretended to look around the walls and ceiling, which had no remarkable decorations hanging.I saw that the hallway had an end. Perfect, I had a plan. I acted as if I was distracted, moving my gaze around like a child."Where are you g

Kalixo settled into his kitchen, preparing a meal specifically tailored for Felicia. After rescuing her earlier and administering CPR, he couldn't believe she had been so intoxicated as to stumble into the deep end of the water. Especially knowing that she had mentioned her inability to swim.Once he finished cooking, Kalixo swiftly made his way to Felicia's room, carrying a plate of food and a glass of water. The door was ajar, so he gently placed the plate and glass on a nearby table.Felicia was still oblivious, peacefully asleep in her bed. After setting down the food and drink, Kalixo headed out, frustrated by the incompetence of his subordinates. If he hadn't arrived in time, he would have found nothing but a lifeless body, cold and motionless.As Kalixo stepped outside, he quickly retrieved the gun concealed in his waistband, hidden behind his pants. He gripped it tightly before shooting the two guards stationed n

KALIXO POV I raised my hands while gazing into her fierce eyes. "Lower your gun, Felicia," I commanded. "And who are you to order me around?" she retorted. I felt my blood rise and the veins pulsate on my forehead. I despised being belittled, especially by a woman like her. Thankfully, I hadn't punished her yet because she played a crucial role in our business. Her face was necessary. "You won't be able to leave here even if you kill me now," I stated simply. I noticed my newly arrived henchman. He didn't carry a gun, most likely disarmed by this woman. It seemed I would have to reduce the number of my men present since they were useless. We locked eyes, Felicia and I. She must have sensed something because she quickly glanced behind her and aimed the gun at my henchman. But it was a wrong move. I swiftly jumped off my desk and approached her from behind. I trapped her in my arms and grabbed the gun in her hands. I raised it and easily wrestled it away. She let go of it in surpr

FELICIA POVI cooked a meal for Kalixo to eat. I had just finished cleaning and stitching his wounds. I also took out the bullet that had lodged in him, luckily it wasn't as deep as I had initially thought. I am skilled in such matters because I cannot allow myself to be caught in a situation where I don't know what to do. I need to protect myself and take care of myself, especially since I believe that not all the time will the people we trust come to our aid in times of need.I instructed his men to help him change into a fresh set of clothes. Just a shirt and shorts, so he would feel more comfortable. He had also suffered cuts and bruises on his legs.After preparing a warm vegetable soup, I brought it to his room. Kalixo's guards kept a close eye on me, even from the kitchen. Perhaps they thought I would poison the food. That thought did cross my mind earlier, but it quickly faded away. Maybe if I prove myself to be

FELICIA POVThe last thing Kalixo told me yesterday was that I could do anything I wanted here in the mansion. That's why I've been wanting to climb up a mango tree for a long time. The tree has many fruits, and I can see that most of them are ripe. Why don't his staff pick them?"Here, let me catch them!" one of the servants, who moved with grace like a lady, caught the mangoes I dropped. She carried a basket that was already full. I'll devour all of them later. Mangoes are delicious, and they're my father's favorite. I'll bring some to him once everything settles down. I climbed down from the tree, which wasn't too high.Ever since Kalixo said those words, I haven't felt any fear or apprehension. I believe in him to some extent because even though we're business rivals, he's not the kind of villain who would kill me for money alone. I didn't bother asking him about his plans because I know he has nothing to say to me.

THIRD PERSON POVKalixo found himself in a state of disarray, his hair in disheveled disarray. "Damn it!" he cursed, his attention now shifted towards Maria. "What do I do now?!"Maria could only squint her eyes. She hadn't expected this night to involve a murder. But it was her job, to eliminate potential threats and further reduce their enemies' chances. Maria opened her eyes again. "Sir Kalixo, I know you care for Madam, but we need to act quickly because our adversaries are expanding their connections. For now, I haven't had any difficulty in guarding the Avimayor family and her friend, but we still need to be extra cautious from now on, as the day will come when we won't be able to."Kalixo swallowed hard before turning to the lifeless body of the man shot by Maria. "Did you really have to kill your own twin? He's your brother—""Come inside. You need to see Madam, she's surely in tears be
