“Anthony Armis, Would you be my boyfriend? ”
Her statement lingered and repeated in his memory. He never knew a day would come and he would know what happiness is like. He admired the woman seated next to him and could not help but to keep her as his.

“I will. And I swear, I will never hurt you like how your EX husband did and I will always cherish you ” He clasped her hands with him and rolled his fingers into hers making it twined.
He rested her head on his shoulders and pecked her forehead. What a day! First, the whole catastrophe and then her love confession, this day seemed to go in favor of him.

“I know you would and if you dare.....then don't blame me for your death ” She jokingly says but still puts some warnings in what she said.
Olivia wasn't ready to start a new relationship especially now she was single and enjoyed life to the fullest, moreover, if it was him, then she was ready to give him a chance.

“Olivia?”

“Uhm?” She murmured as she kissed his cheeks. Her eyelashes slowly landed on his cheeks.

“Do you want me to take you somewhere?”

“Any place is fine by me ” She stopped her flirty behavior, sat up right and fastened her seatbelt.
He laughed at her childish and yet cute attitude. Now that they were in a relationship, he could start to learn about the different shades of his girlfriend.
He started the car and drove off, unknown to them, A jealous bitch saw all their moments in the car.
Vivian clenched her phone tightly in her fist and her knuckles brushing over the screen. She stared at the car which drove past her.
Vivian couldn't bear to hold herself from cursing. Her love was stolen from her like that, things were not going to go their way.

In the Davies's house.

“Young master Davies, your arrival is being waited for in the living room ” A maid announced as he came down from the car. Properly dressed in a blue suit with his hair done, The young master Davies, Davies Felix came down from his car.
He had his hands tucked in his pocket as he walked into the house. He took a look at the house once more as he smiled.
It had been years since he stepped foot in the house and had seen his little sister.

“Gege!” Valerie ran and eloped him in an energetic hug. Her arms wrapped around his back, squeezing him. “Did you get anything for me?”

“Where is dad?” He pinched and caressed her nose as they got to the living room. He sat down and handed her the luxurious bag which he got from the US.

“My son, you can't even let a minute off your sister. Is she the only person here?” His father strode into the living room with a little newspaper.

“Dad! Why are you being like this?! Gege is my one and only!” She whined and gave a baby smirk to him.
Being the youngest child of the Davies's, Valerie was spoiled to the depth by her doting brother and overprotective father.

“Quit that, childish behavior! You are in your twenties and not yet married! What do I say to my colleagues when they all talk about their married daughters?! Here I am thinking about your future and you don't care!”
His father warned severely. This little princess of his was spoiled to the depth that she could have anything she wanted and still be disobedient to his wish.
His wife had passed away at the birth of Valerie and only the baby could make it. Ever since that day, he promised to his dead wife to love and cherish their daughter till he grows old and dies.

“Felix! Take goodness you are back. Dad, see I am not the only one who doesn't want to get married. Look, even Felix is not married and he is older than me! Stop bugging me!”

“You!” He threw his index fingers at her and breathed out. Arguing with her would not do him good instead would only make his blood pressure rise. “That reminds me, you have been overseas for some years, don't tell me you haven't found any girl that is to your taste? See, you inherited my genes and part of my good genes is wooing a woman, so I still wonder why you are in the single zone!” He bluffed and turned to the next page of the newspaper.

“Actually dad, I have found a girl that I really like ”

“What?!”

“Gege!”
They both exclaimed. This was jolly news to their ears and could not help but scream. Felix, the cold iceberg finally is melted by a woman.

“You are not joking right? If you stop!” His father made sure to ask again. Such news finally could prove that his son was not gay and his mind would finally be at peace.

“Who is she? Tell me!” Valerie shook his arms and grabbed his face. “Do I know her?”

“You probably do..... I did not want to announce it yet until I was pretty sure of what I felt for her but now I know what I feel for her is true and not friendship, I decided to tell you ” Felix spoke up. He needed to sieve out friendship and make sure he felt a woman and a man feeling for her not just admiration.

“Gosh! You are keeping me in suspense! Just tell me.”

“Valerie, you will find out sooner or later, okay ” He shoved off his demanding sister and took his way to his room for a shower. Once he made sure no one was there, he took out his phone and smiled at a picture.
That photo was taken years back and saved to remind him of this wonderful woman. They were friends in the past however they lost when she traveled out of the country six years ago.

“Alexa, I am back for you and no one else ” He kissed his phone and went ahead to wash himself up.
