A Kiss And Many Lies のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Everleigh's POV."Everleigh, this is what I have waited and hoped for. " Felix said to me as the pianist turned down the volume of the music. "Fifteen years ago, I planned our proposal. I was going to make you mine. But then I fucked up, I admit I did. And you left me for Clyde. You appeared happy so there was nothing I could do. I let you both be happy together.""Please stand," I said with a whisper. I doubt he heard me because he remained there and continued speaking. "You don't know how much it means to me that you let me be in the picture again after many years. You also don't know how much it means to me that I am able to make that dream come true.""What are you doing, Felix?" I finally said out loud, still stunned. Felix took my hand and continued to speak. "I know that you have no romantic feelings towards me and that's okay.""If you know that I don't like you, why are you proposing that I marry you?""The marriage would be false.""Please stand up, Felix." I was flush

Felix's POV.As we drove through the familiar path back to my mansion, Everleigh and I talked about so much. While we spoke, I uploaded the pictures taken of us by the photographers on my Instagram."These are very beautiful pictures," I said to her with a brief smile."I admit that they are." She gave a casual response."You are ageless, Ever. You're beautiful and it's almost as if you never age." I compared the recent pictures with the ones we took years back when she and I were still together. "We look good together," I added, hoping not to upset her.She was on her phone and so didn't pay any attention to my words. "Clyde just texted me." She said with a bland expression on her face, finally looking up at me. She let out a sigh and then she tossed the phone to the chair of the car."What did his message say?" I took her phone and read the text with a broad smile on my face. Finally, every bit of my plan was coming together. I looked at her with pity, wondering if she deserved

Everleigh's POV.Felix and I walked back to his living room and were greeted by the unfamiliar ambiance of loud music and happy people."True love wins in the end, I'm so happy for you two." A man who Felix later introduced to me as his closest male friend said. He was stout with beautiful brown eyes and wavy black hair. He had an edgy look with leather jackets and distressed jeans. His dimples were revealed as a smile lit up his well-carved face, showing off his diastema. "Felix has loved you for as long as you were away, Everleigh. You don't know how much it means to him that you both are together now."I looked at him and then I looked at Felix. I could see how uncomfortable Felix was and how forced the smile he wore was. I blushed slightly, trying to hide how I truly felt. I felt very sad because Felix and I were lying to the world. To everyone who cared about us."Thanks, man," Felix said, wearing an uneasy facial expression. "We deeply appreciate you all coming out to cele

Everleigh's POV."I suppose it's all over." A message entered Felix's phone. I reached out and took it, watching as the sender continued to type. The beep had woken me up from my sleep but Felix was still dozing. I checked the time on the phone. It was almost six in the morning. I had to start my day soon as It was going to be a busy day."I suppose you're no longer avoiding women like they're some plague." Gina was the one bombarding his phone so early in the morning, I wondered what the matter was with her.I refused to respond, waiting for her to continue typing. "Was she worth the wait?" I supposed she was speaking about me, so I responded, "Yes. I am glad I waited for her." I wondered if that would have been Felix's response and what Gina meant."Okay, then." Gina seemed upset, I couldn't fathom why. "You think this is over but it isn't."'What is over?' I was curious to know. Why was she sending her boss weird messages, but I couldn't because that would make her know that Feli

FelixWe got inside the eatery, and I couldn't fathom how sweet I and Everleigh would become. I could see how Everleigh had fallen deeply for me just by my words and actions. Cool. Things are beginning to hit in my favor. Love first, and then revenge.I smiled at my decision while we sat at the table to eat, my eyes focused on Everleigh. She was all smiley too.Goodness, she must think I'm being real with this faked kindness of mime. How did I go with winning her this completely?Usually, Everleigh used to be stubborn and very firm with her decision, the reason I respected her, but right now, the woman sitting before my eyes is just a vulnerable, frail young woman. A piece of cake to smash.“ This place Is cool and expensive. What a luxury," Everleigh exclaimed exasperatingly.I nodded. " Hmm, I agree with you, darling, but this luxury can only be Worth the woman I love. I’d go broke to live in this luxury with you, Ever”“ What the fuck! You're such a dummy, Felix. Why would you go
