FELIX’S POV
“I gave you clear instructions not to invite anyone over”
“I didn’t, she just came here herself” Khloe said, her eyes were frightened as if she had seen a monster.
“You cannot invite your fellow pole dancer to my house, or you will ruin the entire plan.”
“I gave you a simple order, and you went against it.” Felix said angrily, holding her by the neck.
“I am sorry, but please let me go…..” Khloe begged. Felix was still holding her by the neck.
“Let me go” Khloe begged as she was choking, holding Felix’s hand. Felix sighed bitterly, letting her go.
“Am I disrupting something?” a staunch female voice asked from behind. Felix looked back, it was his stepsister Beverly. He was startled, he quickly pretended as if everything was okay for Beverly not to suspect a thing.
“What are you doing here, Beverly?”
“Oh come on, I have come bearing gifts for the newly wedded” she said as some workers entered with different hampers and gift items. Felix and Khloe were looking at the items.
“It’s so nice to see you again. What’s your name again?”
My name is Khloe, sorry Sophia”. Khloe corrects herself, Felix gapes at her for a while, Beverly stares at both of them, Khloe exits eaving both Felix and his step-sister.
“Why are you really here, Beverly?”
“As you can see, I came bearing gifts.”
“I don’t need your gifts. We don’t need your gifts, Beverly.”
“Why do I always seem like the bad guy?”
“That’s because you are trying to take whatever belongs to me”, Felix snapped angrily at Beverly.
“By that you mean?” Beverly asked, uncertain of what he was talking about. Felix knew he had given Beverly a clue. He just looked at her.
“See your way out of my mansion and do me a favour. Never step in here again.”
“Of course, I will visit again, and it might just be during your funeral. Dear Brother” Beverly uttered, put on her dark shade, then turned to leave. As she walked, her footsteps were annoying to Felix. He knew she wasn’t joking when she made the funeral statement. He knew what Beverly was capable of doing the first time she stabbed a chef’s hand for making her a salty dessert.

BEVERLY’S POV
As Beverly was seated in her Maybach limousine, her thoughts were completely about what Felix said to her.
“That’s because you are trying to take whatever belongs to me”. She recalls what Felix said to her.
“What could he possibly be talking about, because I have no idea what the nincompoop is talking about” Beverly uttered loudly.
“Are you talking to me?” the driver asked Beverly.
“No you dollop head” Beverly shouted, picks up a pack of cigarettes inside her bag, and lit the cigar as she smokes. Beverly was always one step ahead of Felix one way or the other and ever since she met Khloe she'd been unstable and knew something was wrong.
“First he brought in a girl out of the blue calling her his wife”
“What are you up to, Felix Banks?”
“What the hell are you up to?” she spoke out loudly, talking to herself. That’s the way she figures out things quickly. She likes talking to herself to solve the puzzle correctly.
“He just told me to my face that I was trying to take what belongs to him”
“What could that possibly be?” she said, dusting off the cigar through the car window.
“Could it be? She said, with a pause.
“Could it be what I am thinking?”
“Damn it!”
“Turn around?” she instructed the driver.
“Where are we going, Ma?” the driver asked.
“Take Tanya’s route. We are going to pay someone a visit” she said to him, as the driver navigated and sped faster.
“Don’t worry Felix, I will find out exactly what you are doing. It’s only a matter of time,” she said with an evil grin.

KHLOE’S POV
I needed to take a shower because I was feeling hot inside of me. As I showered, I touched my neck where Felix choked. My neck was red.
“Ouch. It hurt” I said. I thought about the kind of human monster Felix was, he was choking me, and he felt no remorse whatsoever, rich people and their chaotic, annoying characters. I switched off the shower, I noticed I wasn’t with my towel. I stepped out of the bathroom. Felix was already in my room.
“What the hell!” I shouted, withdrawing my steps back to the bathroom entrance.
“What are you doing here?” I snapped, dragging a towel from the bed and covering my body.
“What do you mean by what am I doing here?”
“This is my house.”
“You just saw me naked.”
“You think there’s a difference between now and the pole where you strip?”
“There’s a difference. I do not expose my body.”
“But do you do when you are paid?”
“I don’t and I haven’t.”
“That doesn’t mean you won’t when given the highest bid of money.”
“Get out of this room!”
“You mean my room?”
“Get out!”
“Language bitch! He said loudly, I was silent.
“My father has invited us for dinner tomorrow night.”
“That’s what I came to tell you. I will prepare everything for tomorrow night.”
“Put yourself in order and get ready to play your role perfectly well” he said as he walked out of the room, barging the door loudly. I just stood there gasping.
************************************************************************************
FELIX’S POV
Felix thought about how he saw Khloe naked. He knew he went out of line by not apologizing, and he also knew she was taking a shower when he first entered the room. He felt no pity whatsoever, and he thought of how he had been treating her, he was behaving like a beast. He was no beast, but she was nothing but a stripper, and she needed to be put in her place. Besides, he paid her for it. It’s not free. She was nothing but a whore and that's what she was ever going to be to him. A whore.
He thought about the pesky visit Beverly paid him. Beverly didn’t visit him except when she came to diminish him. He had no choice than to try to be ahead of her. He was having these thoughts in his office at his house when his phone rang.
"Yes" he said as he received the call.
"What!" He spurted out.
"Beverly came to see you?"
“Did you tell her anything?”
“Talk to me!”
“Hello! Hello!! Hello!!!”
"Shit!" He said, hitting his phone on the wall near a picture portrait. He breathes heavily. The call was from his father's lawyer. Beverly had paid him a visit.
KHLOE’S POV“Wake up daddy. What the hell is happening?”“Get the doctor. Dad come on”, Stephanie yelled, calling for help.“Don’t you dare touch me you twitchy bitch”. Beverly shouted at me.“Do not talk to her in such a manner!” Felix defended me, not because he wanted to but for him to poise himself like the perfect husband.We arrived at the Bank’s family house for dinner. Stephanie hugged and received me passionately.“You look beautiful, Sis.”“I didn’t get to introduce myself properly the last time, the whole wedding thing between you and Felix just came all of a sudden, and it was hard to comprehend.”“Felix isn’t the marriage type, and it is so good to have you in the family”. Stephanie said to me. She seemed really real and lovely. I liked her.The dining table was set like that of royalty, the table was elegantly decorated and adorned with purple tablecloth with floral polka dots. At the center of the table sits a shining chandelier casting a glow over the tray of differen
FELIX’S POV Felix and his step-sisters quickly escorted the bed trolley out of the ambulance as some nurses and a doctor rushed his father into the VVIP ward. “We will take it up from here?” the doctor said to Felix as they went into the ward. “Will he be okay?” Stephanie asked, almost crying. She got no answer, the ward was closed. Felix pats Stephanie on her shoulders as she walks to get water. Beverly walks close to Felix outside the ward. They both looked at each other. “Have you come to gloat about yourself again?” he asked her. “Not at all.” “Then what do you want?” “My father is in there, I’m just concerned.” “You are only concerned about yourself.” “The lawyer told me” Beverly said to Felix. Felix was puzzled for a while and pretended as if he knew nothing of what she was talking about. “What do you know?” “I know the reason why you got married to that girl”. Felix smirked his lips out of disbelief. “How did you get him to tell you? “There’s nothing a hundred of d
KHLOE’S POV“We have a problem” I told Felix as I entered into his room, he had two girls beside his bed, they were both naked. The naked girls were looking at me with disgust for disrupting their show.“Can’t you knock?”“It’s important” I said looking away“Can’t it wait?”“Because as you can see I have my hands full” he said describing the girls he was with.“It is important” I said keenly, he ordered the girls out, they both walked past me naked eyeing me.“What could be so important this time of the morning?”“See listen Felix, I can’t sleep” I started, he was somehow puzzled at my statement.“What do you mean you can’t sleep?”“Do I look like a doctor to prescribe you some sleeping drugs?”“I think someone recognized me from last night’s auction” I said looking at his face, he was somehow disappointed.“What do mean someone recognized you?”“There was this man, I knew him back at the club and he seemed to recognize me”“Don’t concern yourself with that, it doesn’t matter” he sai
FELIX’S POV “I love you, Khloe,” Felix said to Khloe, who was seated beside him near the beach “I love you too, Felix,” Khloe said as she kissed him. They both kissed, caressed each other, and smiled at each other. “What the hell!" Felix spurted loudly as he woke up, breathing heavily. He checked himself under his duvet and discovered he’s hard as a rock. “What kind of goddamn dream was that” he said to himself as he got off the bed and went to his bathroom. As he showered, he wondered why he was dreaming about Khloe. “What are you doing?” he asked her as she found her painting in her room "Nothing” she replied, hiding behind the painting. Felix walks close to her. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to paint” Khloe said to him with a pleading face “I didn’t mean to. I was just bored and needed to do something” she added “That’s a nice painting” he said to her with a smile on his face. This was the first time he smiled at her. She just stood there, surprised, and as Felix smiled, he also wo
Felix sleeping with a random girl didn’t bother me, but sleeping with another man’s girl in an open place was rather demeaning. I thought about Alphonso the other night. I thought about how he felt. Felix was a beast, he choked me repeatedly for trying to speak against him. We hadn’t spoken since the other night. I remember kicking him in his groin for choking me. He had cried in pain. I had to run quickly to the driver to take me back home. “When will this damn contract end? I asked myself. “I miss talking with my son” “I miss him” While thinking about my son, I also thought of what Felix would do to me for kicking him that badly. He had left early this morning. It seemed he had a business emergency. “He deserved it” “Selfish prick” I continued painting until I was informed I had a visitor. “A visitor?” I asked the guard. I was skeptical for a while. “Was it Rochelle?” I thought. No, it can’t be her, she wouldn’t come back after the last experience she had with Felix. I qui
Felix continued kissing me over and again. He placed his hands inside of me as he fingered me vigorously. I moaned in ecstasy as he continued kissing me and fingering me until his phone rang. Felix stopped looking at me, the look on his face was that of realization. He realized he shouldn’t be doing that with me. “Yes” he said as he received the phone call, and he exited the room. I just quickly ran into my room. As I barged the door, I was trying to catch my breath. “What just happened?” I asked myself as my heart was beating fast. Felix Banks just fingered me uncontrollably. I awaited the usual choke, but he didn’t. Instead, he placed his fingers inside of me. I sighed completely as I sat in my bed trying to figure out what had just happened. A few minutes later, I heard a voice. I quickly dropped the book I was reading as I walked out of my room. I paced slowly near the bar to see if Felix had a visitor. I got closer, and he really did have a visitor, Jasmine. She was smiling at
BEVERLY'S POVBeverly had been thinking of the last time she had been to Felix's house. She was inside her limousine and she sighted jasmine coming from the gate. She knew Felix was a player but at the expense of inviting a woman when he was just“But why would Felix invite her over to his mansion when he has a wife?”“Hmmm”“Something is definitely wrong”, Beverly thought as she lay in the Luxury bed close to a big ass.“What's wrong babe?”“What's wrong is my family knows I'm a lesbian.”“Just them for now” she added.“It's good you came clean to them.”“Of course not. Why would I come out in the open by telling them I prefer women to men?”“But you are bi”“Nonsense. I love women more.”“My damn brother found out!”“He told them”“How did he?”Beverly lets out a little laugh“Felix does notice me the way I notice him.”“I guess he just found out anyway”, Beverly said as she took out a wrap of weed from her drawer.“Stop it. You will be drug tested at your office. Don't smoke weed.
The next morning, the news was everywhere in the papers, TV stations and the media.“Billionaire and his wife in a romantic moment at the Ballodorina 2024 concept organization”I wondered why Felix did that, he just wanted to make a name for himself. As we went home that night, he said nothing and so did I. The driver was just looking at me through the rearview mirror. I ignored them as I tried to figure out my situation.“I am sorry for hitting you”, Felix said, after showing me the papers the following morning.“So what, like you fucking care?”“You made me do it!”“Can I ask you a question?” I asked, trying to find out something from him.“Yes you can ask me” he replied.“Why are you explaining yourself?” I asked him. He was quiet, it was unlike him to apologize. He left the room at a slow pace. As he left, I felt at peace, his presence disgusted me. I looked at the newspaper in front of me with disgust.*********************************************************************BEVERLY’
