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 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 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 17Leigh’s Pov “Which room do you want to sleep in?”, Felix casually asked. As he carried my box up the glass stairs in our new house. With me trailing close behind. “Whichever you chose is fine. I mean, l will have whatever room you will let me have”, l replied meekly. And for some reason, my heart was pounding rapidly in my chest. “Leigh this is your house too. You are allowed to choose where you want to sleep”, Felix deadpanned. As we reached the landing. “I can sleep in the guest bedroom”, I offered helpfully. Unsure of what else I was supposed to say. Felix turned to look at me with an impassive look on his face. Before he looked past me and said, “Charlie, take her stuff up to the main bedroom. I’ll sleep in the guest”.I turned to see Charlie climb up the glass staircase.With one of my boxes full of stuff l had labeled ‘appliances’. And he silently nodded his head to Felix’s request. Avoiding any form of eye contact with me as he walked past me. “No. It’s okay. I

Chapter 19Leigh’s Pov “Jesus fucking Christ!“, Felix shouted. Yanking off his suit’s blazer. Before he immediately tore off his coffee soaked shirt. “I’m so sorry”, I began in a panic.“What is your fucking problem Leigh!” Felix shouted in anger. As he quickly began to wipe off the sticky hot liquid from his chest.“I’m sorry”, I whispered. Choking back the tears l suddenly felt stinging in the corners of my eyes.“Fuck!”, Felix cussed. As he wiped off the reminder of the burning liquid from his chest. The burn of the coffee leaving a reddish tint to his skin.“I’m so sorry Felix. I didn’t mean to bump into you. I swear”, I almost cried. As Felix’s harsh shouting had suddenly made me feel like crying.All l had wanted to do was make him some breakfast. Like a proper fiancée would. Instead l had messed everything up and ended up making him upset.Yesterday I had humiliated myself with the underwear incident. And l today l had thought l would make it up to him by making him breakfast
