Felix, you can still back out now, man. You've heard Listina crying. You could never stand to see her cry before. Remember? You used to hustle day and night just to buy her all sorts of gifts. You said you loved her, that you wanted to take care of her for life. What you're doing now, how's that any different from being a total jerk?" Felix cracked a smile at that moment. "Nathan, you think I treated Listina well?" "Of course, man. You've been nothing short of amazing to her. That's why you two are like a match made in heaven." "I'd move mountains to get her whatever she wanted, no matter how pricey or, in my eyes, pointless, because I felt I had to be good to her. It was like a debt the Brown family owed her. Honestly, a lot of her demands were pretty unreasonable. Back in college, she had a taste for designer labels, and I'd work extra shifts to get them for her, even handed over my scholarship money the moment it cin. Being good to her beca habit, something I just assumed was my duty. I really wanted to take care of her." He took a swig of his drink, swirling the glass in his hand.
"When she got sick, I took on multiple jobs to cover the medical bills, and even got mixed up with sshady loan sharks. I always thought that if my mom were still around, she'd probably say I was doing right by her. I mean, I was giving it my all. What more could I do to make it up to her?" "So, that's why you should marry Listina, dude. You guys love each other, you've been together since you were kids, and she's head over heels for you. If you go through with the wedding tomorrow, what's that gonna do to her, huh?" "In an ideal world, yeah, I should marry Listina." "Then why the hell..." Nathan was about to press on but was cut off by Felix's next words.
"Why am I marrying Carol?" That was the question on everyone's lips in their circle.
Every the met with business partners, they'd ask what he planned to do about Carol.
Everyone thought his marrying Carol was stwisted way to shher.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNo one believed that he could actually have feelings for her.
That bitter pill was his to swallow alone because no one would believe him if he said it out loud.
Felix was the only one in the whole world who knew that he had fallen for Carol.
"Just think of it aswanting to get back at her," he said, tugging at his tie.
If he confessed his feelings to Carol now, she'd think he was crazy, that he was gross. Confessing now would be a torment to her, and he was sure she'd take it as an insult.
What a joke.
When he used to tell her he liked her, it was a lie, a way to use her.
But she was happy then, so happy she'd drop everything for him.
Now he couldn't utter a single truth without her feeling disgusted.
"Marrying her... it's about keeping her close, so I can torment her whenever I feel like it. She wonable to get away from me.
be belongs to novelenglish.netContent Nathan breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. For a moment there, he was afraid Felix would say something else.
So Felix was indeed out for revenge on Carol.

Even if Nathan was green with envy, he had to admit Felix was a good-looking guy. Back at the BlueSky Bar, all those heiresses were tripping over themselves for him, all thanks to those good looks. Felix didn't linger there. As tomorrow was the big day, he wanted to get hearly.
Just as he was getting into the car, he gave Nathan a heads-up.
"Sort out that mop of yours tonight, man. We're gonna have cameras rolling the whole ttomorrow." "Yeah, yeah, I got it. Won't embarrass you." As soon as the car door shut, Nathan's face fell.
The good news was the recording had been sent. If Carol saw it, she'd surely run away with him.
Even better, Felix genuinely didn't like Carol, so Nathan's guilt was somewhat lessened.
Felix didn't like her, but Nathan did-enough to throw all his principles out the window.
