Love in the Shadows [Book 1]

Chapter Seven

Telvest's POV

Clearing Felix' name will be the start of my avengement for him. I promised myself that I would do everything to get everything back for him. I will get his freedom back, his parent's remains, their mansion, and their conglomerate for him. He does not have to do anything but to wait for me to offer these things to him on a silver platter.

I could do all of these for love.

I never knew that my heart could be easily taken by him. He silently crept in my heart and took control of it without my knowledge.

He did not even work on it, he just showed up one day and that was enough for me to fall deeply in love with him.

Now, he is my everything and I would do everything to protect him and make him happy.

And if getting his conglomerate back is what will make him happy, then that is what I would do.

With this in mind, I spent a lot of my resources without hesitation. I hired private investigators and mercenaries that could work fast and proficiently. I ordered for them to get me evidence that could clear Felix' name and told them to get all the people involved in the poisoning of Mr. and Mrs. Sato and present them to me.

And they did not disappoint. It only took them one week to find evidence and another week to get everyone involved. They told me that those people are now in one of my hideouts and waiting for me.

After ending the call with them, I wore my leather jacket, loaded my pistol and tucked it in my waistband, and then, I grabbed my phone and keys from the side table. I turned to the bed and stared at Felix' who was snoring quietly as he slept. I checked the time on the wall clock and saw that it was a little over three in the morning.

We had spent another steamy and passionate night last night and my body is still a little bit sore. But since the matter at hand is urgent, I ignored the soreness and prepared to leave. I crouched beside him so I could take a better look of his face. Then, I reached out and brushed the hair from his face so I could see his naturally arched brows.

I suddenly felt the urge to kiss him as I looked at his face. So, I leaned over and gave his lips a soft kiss. I smiled widely when I saw his lips puckered even when he was still sleeping. It was as if he was trying to return my kiss on instinct. I held his face and grinned at him.

"I will be back." I whispered.

Then, I stood up straight and inhaled deeply, like I was trying to get as much energy as I could. I paid him one more glance before turning around and left.

My driver pulled over the warehouse in Cavite where those people, who were behind the assasination of Mr. Sato and his wife were confined. As soon as the car skidded to a stop, I hurried out of the car and headed straight to the entrance with my men in tow.

They ran ahead of me and opened the door for me.

I entered the warehouse and found those people kneeling in the center with the mercenaries around them and they pointed their guns at them.

They lowered their guns and stepped back the moment that they saw me approaching. Then, one of my men placed a chair in front of those people and gestured for me to sit on it. I sat on the chair and looked at those people's faces with a blank look on my face.

"Who are these?" I asked no one in particular.

One of the mercenaries, who was quite young, stepped forward and gave me a tablet. I looked at the screen and instantly understood that it has all of the information about these people.
