You know, I don’t think I quite trust Lu with this job.”“Now you think? I’ve been yelling this thing at the top of my head from the get-go. She’s getting too attached to this man, and she doesn’t even know it. Not good for family.”Richard said, filling his speech with as much venom as he could muster.He had been absent from Samantha’s house more often these days, but she chalked it up to him job-hunting. He had told Samantha there was something big coming and he wanted it to be a surprise, so she didn’t really fuss when he went out for such long periods of time anymore.Only this one job, baby. I promise.Nothing was going to get in his way, and most definitely, no one. He was going to make sure this job got done no matter what. A better life… it was all he could ask for. He had lived so long dirty, miserly and downtrodden.He had worked hard for this. He had worked hard all his life. He deserved this. He needed it.He folded his arms as a dark look came across his face.“Look, it’s

Felix sat on his hospital bed. It was quite lonely and empty in his white, hospital room. There were some flowers from Adam and Kelly with a few notes here and there but it wasn’t like when he was back home. Hell, if he were back home, there would be no space in his hospital room to walk around. Felix looked around the moderate sized room and smiled. This was part of the normal life he wanted and he was getting it. It wasn’t the easiest or best life but it was peaceful and the type he wanted. The small television that was placed opposite his bed was on the news channel. Felix didn’t like the news.“ Where’s the damned remote for this bloody thing!” Felix mumbled as he turned on his bed looking for the television remote. He had made a huge fuss about not being able to find the remote, he didn’t find it even after his huge fuss; he gave up eventually and rang for one of the nurses to come help him change the channel.A blonde haired nursed walked into the room with Felix’s tray of lun

Lu felt like the world had slowly come to a stop. Like the universe wasn’t moving anymore and the only thing that made sense was the man siting right beside her. “So miss Kelly, do I get a reply?” Felix asked as his eyes shone brighter; if that was even possible.Lu looked at the man beside her. Somehow, she felt like she had been whisked into a story book romance when she had accepted this job. Why was this harder than all the other things she had done before? She just had one job, dupe the man and move on. Yet it felt like she was doing the worst thing in the universe.The thought of being with this man flashed in her mind. Would she actually marry him if he asked? Heck at this point, Lu was kinda sure she would.“Emmh, miss Kelly?” The pleasant sound of Felix’s voice broke through Lu’s thoughts. Felix’s voice was music to Lu’s ears. “Yes?” Lu brought herself back from her wild thoughts.“I asked if you would like to go on a date with me? Like a way of apologizing for using me a

Lu knew what was coming next and somehow, she didn’t. Her body froze to its seat. She wanted it to move but she wasn’t the one dishing out the orders here anymore. Then sir John flashed in her mind with a disappointed look and she moved.Lu moved Lu sat there frozen in time as she watched Felix stretch over the table. She her face and avoided Felix’s kiss.“I’m sorry Alex but this isn't like that. Thank you for the dinner and all but I’m sorry, I can’t do this.” Lu didn’t look at Felix, she felt like it would hurt less if he didn’t see the tears in her eyes and she wouldn't feel as bad if she didn’t see the pain written on his face. Lu grabbed her bag and walked out the restaurant. She didn’t look back and she didn’t stop. The rain had started with a light pitter-patter. Lu didn’t look back, she just kept on walking, walking far away from all this pain and emotions! “This wasn’t supposed to happen!” She screamed to the heavens! “Why would you do this to me! All my life I’ve suffer

“Wake up Adam! You’re gonna be late for work!” Felix shouted into Adam’s ears, causing the latter man to jump off his bed and land on the floor.“ A simple shove or tap would suffice Felix!” Adam screamed in frustration. Then he noticed something different about Felix. He didn’t reek! Well that and that he was dressed in a nice suit and didn't look like the world had just pronounced death on his soul.“Notice anything different?” Felix strutted around in his suit.“Yeah, you don’t reek of death and depression anymore.” Adam smiled at his sarcasm. Felix of-course didn’t think it was funny and punched him in the guts.“There, now you’re fixed.” Felix dusted his hands and adjusted his outfit.“You know I actually felt that right?” Adam was bent over and gave his friend the middle finger.“I know, the more pain, the better the results.” Felix smiled.“ If that were the case, I would have just punched you in the head while you were wallowing in your depression, would have saved me all the
