Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 1216: However, just as she turned to rejoin Collin, her gaze accidentally landed on a scene that made her blood run cold. Not far away, Felix and Joanna were wrapped in each other's arms, laughing intimately like lovers lost in their own world. The sight hit Linsey like a physical blow. Her heart felt crushed by an invisible fist, the pain so intense she could barely breathe. Dolores had been right all along. Felix had indeed been cheating on her. Fighting through the crushing heartache, Linsey fumbled for her phone with trembling fingers. She had to call him. She needed answers.

Felix's phone buzzed in his hand, and she watched as he glanced at the screen, clearly seeing her name. Without hesitation, he slipped the phone back into his pocket, deliberately ignoring her call. Joanna's smile turned smugly triumphant, as if this was exactly what she had expected. The casual cruelty of it all drove a knife straight through Linsey's chest. Hot tears spilled down her cheeks uncontrollably, leaving glistening trails of pain.

If she hadn't witnessed this scene with her own eyes, she might have foolishly continued believing that Felix ignored her calls because he was simply busy with work. Neither Felix nor Joanna had noticed her presence. After they shared a tender kiss, Felix naturally took Joanna's bag and slung it over his shoulder. His large hand settled possessively around her slender waist as he led her toward a sleek black car, and together they disappeared into the night. The black car had nearly blended into the afternoon traffic when Linsey finally shook herself free from her daze.

Her first instinct was to bolt after the car, but her desperate steps didn't stand a chance against the speed of the engine. Linsey made it only a few paces before the vehicle vanished completely from view. Every chapter lives on g a lno vels ; comm A shaky whisper slipped from her lips. "Felix..." Panic washed over her features, her mind going utterly blank as emotion threatened to knock her off balance. Forcing herself to stay upright, Linsey blinked away her tears and hurried to the curb, frantically waving at an approaching taxi.

The cab slowed, and the driver greeted her with a friendly smile, his accent coloring his words. "Where are you headed?" Linsey dabbed at her eyes and tried to steady her breathing. "Sorry... Could you give me a second? I just need to think," she responded after getting into the taxi. Noticing her distress, the driver quietly waited, giving her space instead of pressing her with questions. With the car long gone, Linsey knew that finding Felix was now up to her. She took a shaky breath, searching her memory for clues. Years together had taught her plenty about his habits.

Felix was never drawn to crowds or noisy places. His world revolved around work and the quiet comfort of home. . . .
