The Runaway Lover by Kyzyl Mhy (rocket ebook reader TXT) 📖

Chapter Six (Part 2) 

“Uhmm...” Felix groaned as he shifted to make himself comfortable causing his head to fall on Tina’s shoulder. 

Tina was distracted – she was busy looking out through the window, staring at the busy streets and tall buildings – so she was slightly surprised when his head landed on her shoulder. The small distance between them was now gone, and she could easily smell the scent of his masculine perfume.  

Hmm... I guess some things just do not change. She said in her thoughts when she noticed that the perfume he was wearing today, smells the same as the one he wore back when they first meet. It may sound weird, but that scent became one of her favorites, especially when she was still pregnant with Yohann.  

Five years ago, she developed the hobby of going to perfume boutiques with a quest to find this scent but she never really found the exact one. He must have had it made or customized for himself. 

 -Tina- 

I was spaced out a bit so I did not notice that I have long been staring at this stranger – or should I say I have long been staring at Felix Andrew Romanov? 

Come to think of it, the things that happened between us are a little funny. It’s not something that happens on a normal basis – we had a one-night stand, and then I got pregnant without having a single idea about what his name was, all I have is nothing but the image of his gorgeous face and the indelible scent of his perfume, then after five years we again, not only once but thrice. 

After 30 minutes, the taxi stopped in front of the luxurious Nisson Towers. I’ve passed by this tower many times, especially when I was on my way to work, but I have not yet stepped foot inside this building. Mainly because I never really had any reason to, and most of the people who come here are either celebrities or people from higher social classes. 

I then took a deep breath before I returned my attention to Felix who was now awake – he was sitting on the steps of the stairs by the entrance while staring blankly at his shoes like a lost person. I sighed. 

“Can you manage to go in by yourself?” I asked as I walked towards him, and as expected he did not even move a muscle. 

My eyes shifted to the black coat that I was holding, then to the entrance of the building.  

I was about to walk and ask the guards for help when Felix grabbed my hand and hugged my lower half. My cheeks instantly heated up because people were looking in our direction.  

Oh dear... am I going to see myself in articles tomorrow? 

“Y-Ya... what are you doing?” I stuttered as tried to get away from his hold. 

“People are staring at us!” 

“I don’t care...” He said in a small but husky voice. “I am not letting you go unless you promise that you will stay.” He added. 

For a moment I paused.  

Huh?!  

- 

Felix stood firm with his words. He really did not let go of her until she promised. He even clung to her arm like a child as they walked their way inside the building.  

And as expected, Tina was completely mesmerized by how beautiful the interior set up was – the floors were made up of porcelain tiles, and crystal chandeliers were hanging on the ceiling. The whole place was styled to resemble what seems like a Modern European-themed castle. 

The two of them walked their way to the elevator, and Tina noticed how most people gave way for them – some people waited for the elevator, but they instant stepped aside and none bothered to ride with them even if there were still a lot of space left. 

“Why did they not come inside?” Tina asked Felix who was now leaning on the elevator's glass wall with his eyes closed, and his hands placed inside the pocket of his black slacks. 

She waited for an answer, but he did not even try to open his mouth. Tina just shook her head and let out a sigh, before shifting her attention to the elevator buttons. There were a lot of buttons with the numbers 1-49, but none of them was lit except for the special button that had the letter ‘P’ written on it – Felix pressed it a while ago before the elevator doors closed. 

After a few moments the elevator opened and they reached what seemed like the topmost floor.  

Does the letter P stand for Penthouse? 

They were immediately greeted by beautiful large glass windows that showcased a picture-perfect view of the city lights. There was a mini fireplace, a large couch, fur carpets on the floor, and expensive vases and paintings displayed on the wall. There was also a big wooden bookshelf that housed a lot of books – basically, the whole place was styled with a touch of modernity, minimalism, class, luxury, and elegance. 

That alone was more than enough for Tina to realize how much fortune Felix owns.  

-Tina- 

There are no words to describe how mesmerized I am right now. I could tell that he was rich, but I never expected that he was the rich type of rich. This whole place looked like the penthouses that you see in movies! 

My thoughts were disrupted when I heard the sound created when glass gets broken. I then tried to navigate my way inside this spacious penthouse until I reached the kitchen where I saw Felix standing near the double-doored refrigerator. 

I mentally chuckled at his actions. He sure was still tipsy. I sighed and smiled before I walked towards him to take the glass pitcher and place it down on the countertop before it ends up breaking too. 

He was staring at me the whole time – and I could feel it. Then I shifted my gaze to look at him in the eye. 

“D*mn it! Why is this glass so fragile?!” I heard him mutter to himself in frustration as he looked at the broken glass. 

“Don’t blame the innocent glass.” I chuckled. “It is not its fault that you could no---”
