Chapter 72Felix POVI look around the big compound one more time before I proceed toward the entrance door. After disturbing and threatening me for so long, I have finally decided to come see him and set things straight with him, because I don’t want to take this shit anymore.Stepping into the villa, I proceed to the rooftop where he asked me to meet him. I wonder why he chose the place to meet with me, but I don’t give a damn about whatever reason he has, anyway.Arriving at the rooftop minutes later, I stop on my track and stare at him, my blood boiling in pure rage, and I feel nothing toward him, but hatred, and the urge to stab him multiple times until he breathes his last. But I know I have to be calmed and talk to him about it.“You are here? I’ve been waiting for you,” he finally turns to face me when he notices my presence. He has been leaning over the rail and staring at nothing, while sipping from the glass of wine he’s holding.“What do you want from me, Eric?” I ask him

Chapter 74Alicia POV"Are you hiding something from me, Ren?" I ask him instead, and his mouth drops open as he stares at me blankly. Silence assumes the atmosphere for another one minute, and I'm beginning to think that he's really hiding something from me."Is everything alright? You can talk to me if something is bothering you. I promise to help you solve it, just please stop doing this," I plead with him as a drop of tears slid down the corner of my cheek. I try to go close to him, but he steps away from me and throws his gaze away."I'm fine. I'm not hiding anything from you. Excuse me. I will be in my room," He says hurriedly before he walks past me."For how long are you going to avoid me?" I ask him out of the blue, and he stops abruptly on his track."Do you know how much it hurts that you're suddenly treating me like this? Do you know the pain I'm feeling inside, Ren? Yes, I know I was wrong, and I am starting to correct my mistakes, but treating me and your child like this

Chapter 76 Alicia POV I rake my hair with my fingers for the umpteenth time as I sit on the edge of the bed in the guest room, crying my eyes out. It still feels like a dream to me. Everything seems like a nightmare that I'm trying so hard to wake up from, but it seems like I will never wake up from it. Ren, just like Felix did in the past, he betrayed me too. What the hell was I even thinking? All his actions were questionable from the onset. From the day we met to the day, he showed up at my dad's house to save me from my cousins who were bullying me. He has always been suspicious, but I was so foolish that I never thought of that. I regret everything I did now, I shouldn't have struck the deal with him in the past. I should've turned him down when he asked to be friends with me, but I desperately needed this. 'Douglas' his name replays in my head, and I scoff angrily. I have always known that bastard uncle of mine to be the worst human that ever walked the phase

Chapter 78 Alicia POV 'What the hell do you think you're doing? What if he poisoned the food?' a message popped on the screen of my phone and it's from Ren. I can't believe I married such a dumbass that doesn't even know the strategies of criminals. It's crazy. Wait! Don't tell me he would poison me if he were to be in my uncle's shoes. That has to be the dumbest thing any criminal would do. 'Relax and just eat, Ren. My uncle won't be so dumb to poison me' I send him a reply, and he sighs after he glances at his phone screen which he's holding on his lap. "You don't look fine. Is everything ok, Ren?" Emily suddenly asks out of the blue, drawing her dad's attention to Ren. "Yes, I'm fine," He replies to her casually before he starts eating. Silence assumes the atmosphere as we all eat peacefully, with me occasionally glancing at everyone to see if I can read what they are thinking. "So, how is it going with the company so far? I hope you have been able to m

Chapter 80 Felix POV It's finally the day I'm to go see the so-called boss. I am finally going to see the bastard that has been manipulating me all this while. Staring at my reflection in the mirror, I take a deep breath and run my fingers through my hair, as I ask myself if I really want to do this. I came back months ago because I wanted to see Alicia again after so many years, I was glad I saw her. I just wanted to avoid every other problem and make peace with her, but it seems like problems always follow me wherever I go, because if not, why would this bastard contact me as soon as I came back? Taking a deep breath, I grab my car key from the dresser before I storm out of my room. I call Eric as I descend down the staircase minutes later, and he picks at the first ring like he has been waiting for my call or something. "I'm on my way," I say to him before I end the call, not even waiting for him to reply to me, because I'm not ready to listen to him. Since he a
