Her sister came back running and met her outside in misery. She had some twenty dollars in her hands which she gave to her for assistance and hurried back inside.
All these moments Tsunami recalled within Felix's hands. She released herself afterwards and sat down on the bed. She picked the fifty thousand dollars and gave the money back to Felix.
"Keep it for me please," Tsunami requested with a smile.
Felix collected the money from Tsunami's hands, walked towards the bedroom sofa where a red lady's handbag was, picked it up and fixed all the bundles inside.
"It is more safe in here," Felix blissfully told Tsunami.
Tsunami's face glowed with a smile.
BRITTANY'S HUSTLE:
Early in the morning, crowds of people walk to work from different corners and to different directions of Capricon city. Among the people was Brittany walking so fast to avoid late coming too.
While she hurried up in black covered shoes, an ordinary checked dress and a black handbag held around her right shoulder, suddenly she stop. Brittany took a few steps back.
Accidentally she had seen something she wasn't so sure about. Her face was filled with curiosity as she stepped back. Her face turned to look so surprised after clearly observing.
Brittany looked into her handbag where she picked a few cents, branched off on the street side for a few seconds and paid a man who in return gave her a newspaper.
Back on her journey, Brittany walked in a hurry for to her destination. Finally she entered a roadside diner. Police officers were already inside for breakfast.
In the store room she kept her handbag and dressed in an apron. Before she came out to commence with daily activities, she opened the newspaper to clarify what she saw.
On top was a broad headline which read, "OCEAN top boss dates top fashion model," and below was a picture of three individuals standing; Pinky the top model, Kevin Moore the top boss of OCEAN and Suxes who was smiling while shaking Pinky's hand.
Brittany further more opened inside pages to look at more details. More photos and information were on two pages inside. While she was still reading through, a workmate came in.
"Hey Brittany what's going on? you have to be at station right now!" fellow workmate got concerned.
Brittany's voice faltered, "I am coming."
"What's the matter?" the workmate walked inside to check on her.
She saw her with the newspaper in the hands and tried to look at what she was looking at. She picked it from her and read through. After reading she looked at the pictures.
Workmate: "Isn't this your daughter's father on the side?!"
Brittany: "He's the one."
Workmate: "Months ago he was shabby hobo how comes!"
Brittany: "What can I say... am wondering how he ended up on the newspaper headline."
Workmate: "I think he finally got a nice job for himself."
Brittany: "Even though but it can't be at this level.... With the top fashion model...! Hotel OCEAN is for only the VIPs. And Suxes meeting the CEO, it's ridiculously impossible."
Workermate: "He doesn't look like a waiter in serving them a bottle of wine on their date. He looks like a VIP in that suit."
"Brittany...!!" called the owner of the diner.
Quickly Brittany wrapped up the newspaper. Her fellow workmate hurried out first and she came rushing from behind to the front where customers were waiting for service.
"Your performance is getting out of hand Brittany!" quarreled the boss. "Next time am firing you."
"Everyday you're fond of excuses; My child was sick, the nanny, traffic, etc. It seems you're nolonger comfortable with this job," the man rudely shouted at Brittany.
She really felt small about being insulted infront of customers. But as a poor young lady, she had to be strong and calm because the job was so important for her.
In the evening after finalizing her working shift, Brittany looked at her mobile phone in the hands. She thought for a while and then after she decided to call the number.
Unlucky enough the number was no longer on network. At night she went on every side of the streets where Suxes used to loiter but she didn't find him.
She tried to ask the hobos she came across whether they have any idea about his way abouts as she showed them his photo. Yes they knew him but didn't have any idea where he went to.
One hobo told Brittany that since Suxes got a new friend who had a big beard and threadbare short pants he got lost from the streets.
Brittany remembered when Suxes went to her with a man he claimed he was helping to find the father. A barefooted man who looked weird with a huge beard scattered all over his face, dressed in a torn jacket and short threadbare short pants.
"Wait!!" Brittany exclaimed.
She opened the newspaper to take a thorough look at the pictures. She imagined the young man tittled to be the CEO of the most luxurious and elegant hotel 'OCEAN' without a beard on his face.
"It's impossible!!" she wondered in a whisper.
Since ladies are welcome know for being observant and not forgetful, Brittany proved the point by clarifying the barefooted hobo her ex boyfriend was helping six months ago is actually the CEO of the most executive hotel in Capricon city and the whole country.
This was the moment Brittany realized that the boyfriend she hated so much, and a father to her daughter was back on his feet, and very well off. But she remembered how rude she cut channels with him.
After a while, she arrived at the ghetto apartment where she resided. Occupied with a heap of thoughts, Brittany knocked on the door, a lady came out carrying a young girl on her shoulder who was asleep. She gave handed over the girl to Brittany.
"Thank you," Brittany said with a sad smile.
"Are you alright?" asked the woman.
Just tired with a primary headache," Brittany replied.
She walked slowly to her door, unlocked it and took her daughter inside. She laid her daughter on bed in her ordinary single room and sat down after.
Once again she picked up her phone from the handbag and called the previous number. The response was still the same; "The number you're calling is not on the network."
HUNTING FELIX:
Gun men occupied every corner of the certain mansion. Inside the mansion was a basement and in this basement was a beautiful black casket with golden handles and designs around it. The coffin opened abruptly.
Well dressed in a black suit with a black shirt and tie inside, Felix opened his dark eyes. He raised up out of the casket where he was sleeping. The casket closed back. Time check was 6am midnight.
Felix's face appeared so tough and ashy. He gently walked up the stairs which led to the door outside the basement. He went straight into the super car garage where a black ferrari and a black Rolls-Royce wraith were parked.
Into the comfortable Ferrari he entered and started the engine. Immediately the ferrari lights went on and the house garage opened.
While the car drove out, the gunmen who provided security in every corners of the mansion where serious on duty watching. The main gate automatically opened and the ferrari accelerated away.
Next was to see Felix inside the night club leaning at the bartender's counter. A few moments later he appeared in his ferrari, entering into the main gate of his mansion.
However he didn't return alone. An unknown young lady was sleeping on the passenger's side of the ferrari. The main gate opened automatically and he drove a distance on a wide compound to reach the house.
The house garage slided up automatically to open for the ferrari to get inside when it approached. As soon as the car entered, the garage slided down and closed.
Felix stopped the engine and stepped out to meet the young lady who was sleeping on the passenger's side. He lifted the lady out of the car and placed her onto his shoulder.
Her body seemed not to make any individual movement. Felix carried the young lady down the basement where he laid her down on the floor facing up.
He went on the side and picked a compact book which had a very hard cover. Slowly he followed its instructions on the first page which directed him to the page he was looking for.
In the lady's neck were teeth marks. This implied that her blood was already sucked out of the veins, thus dead. After going through ancient notes, Felix covered the and took it back. Quickly he got a silver blade which he used to reap the young lady's heart out.
After removing the heart out of the young lady's chest, Felix picked a body bag, put the young lady in together with her heart and zipped it thoroughly well.
Removing the young lady's heart was to make sure she doesn't wake up the following night as a vampire and start killing people like he does. He then went out of the basement.
Tsunami was in the bedroom standing next to the window in a red night dress looking outside, down the compound when Felix entered. She heard him opening the door but never bothered to turn around, to look at him.
Felix walked slowly toward Tsunami and crossed his hands around her waist. Tsunami smiled. This time round he looked normal on his face since he was from feeding. His eyes were in a good form and the skin was ashy no more.
Tsunami: "I've missed you since morning."
Felix: "Same here."
Tsunami: "From the time you drove out one hour back, I've been standing here waiting for you to return."
Felix: "How do you feel about what I turned into?"
Tsunami: "Love is blind. That is what I've come to realize."
Felix: "Make me understand, please!"
Tsunami: "It's funny and scary sometimes to know that someone you love so much drinks human blood to survive and yet you're a human."
"On top of it all your lover sleeps in the coffin during day and wakes up at midnight, the appropriate time to go to bed. But you love him and ready to die on his behalf."
Felix turned Tsunami around so that she can face him. The words she said to him were heart touching which made him emotional. Felix grabbed Tsunami and squeezed her so tight in a warm hug.
From outside the compound, looking at them up in the widow holding eachother in a hug after the words that came out of Tsunami's mouth, it portrayed a very strong pillar on which their romance was built.
Kevin Moore came out of his hotel suite smartly dressed in full white outfits from head to toe and entered in a private elevator to take him down from the top floor of his hotel, OCEAN.
On the ground floor, the private elevator opened its doors and he gently walked out. As he walked past the hotel main reception, Babara Yen was coming from infront of him in a distance with her mother.
"Pinky!" Kevin Moore exclaimed in a whisper.
He switched on a romantic warm face which held a soft smile in preparation to welcome Babara Yen, whom he thought was Pinky the love of his life due to the fact that she was an exact copy of Pinky.
Surprisingly to his disappointment, when Babara Yen approached, she just passed by him without saying a word hullo or even smile back at him to show recognition.
However, due to his handsome looks, Babara Yen kept her eyes on him before passing him. Even after by passing him, she took a moment to look back over her shoulder to see him before she reached the elevator.
Since everyone at the hotel watched Kevin Moore like an advert whenever he appeared anywhere around the hotel, the incident happened when almost every human being in the area was watching in disguise.
Nothing was so embarrassing in the eyes of the workers like to see their boss Kevin Moore being left standing as a statue after warming up to greet a guest.
Babara Yen and her mother entered the universal elevator to go to their hotel suites. While inside the elevator, Monica Yen looked at her daughter and took a deep breath.
Monica Yen: "I've seem the way you were looking at him."
Babara Yen: "Looking at who?"
Monica Yen: "Stop pretending you know what am talking about."
Babara Yen: "Would you please don't go there mom?"
Monica Yen: "Did you like the guy?"
Babara Yen: "Mom!!"
Monica Yen: "He's really a very handsome guy and in his gesture, it seemed he wanted to talk to you."
Babara Yen: "I will bite him and drink his blood.He dare not confront me."
Monica Yen: "You need to get married someday remember."
Babara Yen: "Not to a human because I will have him for diner when am hungry."
Her mother laughed it off as a joke as the elevator continued to lift them up. Down to the ground floor where Kevin Moore was, in one position he stood with a frozen mind.
"How can Pinky behave as if she doesn't know me?" He wondered at the back of his mind.
"I need to talked to my friend Suxes," he silently advised himself.
He went back to the private elevator which lifted him back to his hotel suite. As soon as he got inside, he ordered his artificial intelligence computer to call Suxes. With in no time Suxes was on phone in the house loud speakers.
Suxes: "What's up Kevin my boss?"
Kevin: "Hey Suxes listen to me... this is so serious."
Suxes: "Am all ears man, talk to me."
Kevin: "You just can't believe Pinky's behaviour against me! my heart is shrinking."
Suxes: "You caught her with another man?"
Kevin: "No, With another woman they....."
Suxes never allowed Kevin to finish the statement and he said, "she didn't tell you she has a girlfriend?"
Kevin: "Sighs..., come on Suxes stop joking in serious matters... Are you telling me because of a girlfriend she can see me and just go with saying hello?!"
Suxes: "If she loves her man it's very possible."
Kevin: "But this is a grown up woman not a young lady!"
Suxes: "Trust me man everything is very possible but, let's try to find out before we jump to a conclusion."
Kevin: "I seriously feel afflicted."
Suxes: "Where did you see her?"
Kevin: "She just checked in at my hotel right now and they took an elevator up in the guest suites."
Suxes: "Calm down brother... you need to calm down. She can't cheat on you like that and just go with it after a good date we arranged... Am coming over."
Kevin: "No! you don't have to come, I want you to concentrate on getting back together with your family tomorrow."
When Kevin Moore mentioned family in Suxes' ears behind the phone call, it really touched Suxes deep in heart and he started shading tears.
"Man, are you crying?!" Kevin wondered after hearing Suxes sniffing behind the phone.
"Brittany hate me so much," Suxes replied, "I can't think she will ever forgive me and allow me to meet my daughter for at least once."
"I had a dream when she is crying for you begging for forgiveness," Kevin Moore told Suxes, "and everytime I dream, trust me things appear so true."
"Don't tell me you've started to prefer tales to the truth!" Suxes continued to cry behind the phone call.
Kevin shook his head and turned off the phone.
Suxes was inside a very nice apartment where he resided at the moment. He stood up from the cream sofa in a living room. With his mobile phone in hands, slowly he walked and opened the bedroom door.
Inside the bedroom was a lady laying on a wide bed. She was sleeping nicely. Suxes walked in gazing at her for a few seconds.
"Hey," he tapped her twice to wake up, "I think you have to leave."
"What! are you serious?" the young lady wondered on sitting up, "at this time of the night?!"
"Am so sorry but you have to take your leave," Suxes told her, "actually I never mentioned but I have a fiancée."
The young lady jumped out of the bedsheets very annoyed. Sge bitterly accusing him for lying to her that he was single by the time they met and she trusted him.
"I thought you are a gentleman!" she shouted at him, "but you're just a cheap user!!"
"You won't go unpunished if this is how you treat women," she rudely cursed.
Suxes watch her dress up until she got done. When she picked her handbag to get out, he counted two thousand dollars in cash and asked her to take it.
The young lady collected the money out of his hands and opened the door angrily to leave.
"Don't worry it has just clocked 9pm," he yelled at the lady as she was about to open the outside door, "you're going to be safe."
The lady slammed the outside door of the apartment after stepping out.
"Darn!" Suxes couldn't believe her action.
He sat down on the cream sofa in the beautiful living room as he scratched his head. Uncomfortably he stood back up on his feet and went to the bedroom where he closed himself.
HOTEL OCEAN:
At a wide hotel counter which was marked with a big word 'OCEAN', designed in broad golden letters, there arrived Kevin Moore smartly in his white outfits.
As the CEO of the hotel, Kevin asked the receptionist to give him the hotel suite number and floor on which the guest who ignored him stayed, which she did so fast in total respect.
THANK YOU READER.
