- SEVENTEEN -

The following day, Felix woke up abruptly by his alarm. He groaned, grabbing his phone and turning it off. He pushed it back on the commode, letting another tired groan. His eyes adjusted to the dark quickly; a bit of light was getting in the bedroom from the shutter. He looked at his wife that was sleeping peacefully; a small smile took over his lips. He brought his fingers through her blonde hair, combing them gently. He left the bed, dressing up lazily.

Sophia opened her eyes a bit, bringing the blanket closer to her nude body. Felix fixed the tie around his neck, glaring at her with a soft grin. "Morning, my love," Felix spoke gently as she smiled sleepily. "Good morning, darling..." Sophia yawned, closing her eyes in seconds.

"Can't you stay a bit more..?"

"I have to go to work, honey."

"UUUgh..."

She groaned, pushing the blanket over her head making Felix laugh. He sat beside her, taking the blanket off her silhouette with a chuckle. She groaned again, trying to grab the blanket again, but Felix wasn't letting her.

"Why don't you wake up, too? You can come with me to work today, love."

"Not today..."

"Why not today?"

"I am sleepy. and I feel low-key tired..."

Felix rolled his eyes, kissing her forehead softly before standing up. "Will you be up till afternoon?" he glared at her, opening the bedroom's door, ready to leave.

"Yeah, why?"

"So, we'll have lunch at least, together."

"Sounds nice, yeah, sure."

"Oh, thank you, sleepyhead."

He chuckled, leaving the room and closing the door behind. Felix had woken up in a good mood; it was strange. It was Monday, the start of a fresh week, and he didn't know what to expect this time. His drive to his work was quiet. He parked his car and went straight to his office. He sat down, turning on his computer before hearing a knock. "Come in...." he yawned in need of some coffee, seeing one of his employees, Daniel.

"Sir, you need to see this."

"What wrong?"

Felix stood up, going beside him, and took a good look at the paper that the man was holding. The drug market was too low today; there were barely any big trades. He grabbed it, bringing it closer to his face. Smiley didn't make any trades today at all. No buys, no-sells. "Dear... Jesus!" Felix exclaimed in happiness, adrenaline rushing through his veins. He couldn't believe in his eyes, Smiley's popularity was going down the drain.

"How did this happen..!?"

"I don't know, sir, but Smiley appears to be really low in the black market the last twenty-four hours. No trades at all; a lot of his customers have chosen another dealer already; he's losing people fast."

"That's more than good..."

Felix grinned, letting the paper in his office. Daniel left the room when Felix sat down. He crossed his legs, still staring at the paper before pushing it into Damon's file. Well, it wasn't exactly his file; it was more his whole family's file. Started from Damon's father, continued to him, and probably end there. Felix didn't believe Damon would have kids or find a good lover. He chuckled, letting the file back in the drawer with a smile. The week started good for him, better than he expected. He sipped some of his coffee; maybe sending Abigail was a good idea. Now all he had to do was wait and see the results. Damon would destroy his own life one way or another and take his sister with him. Abigail would decline her feelings towards Damon and possibly end up with Mason. There was a whole plan; Felix wanted everything to go according to his words.
