Falling For Miss Captain : LOVE Vs DUTY Chapter 32

"Mr. Serano. This is not what we agreed to. Aren't you not afraid of losing our trust in each other?" Mrs. Arista said on the phone with a newspaper on her one hand.
Mr. Serano who was currently on a business trip abroad was very surprised by the news! Just a minute ago, his secretary informed him about the breaking news. He knew right away that it was only his wife who would do such a crazy thing!
"Mrs. Arista, I don't know anything about this. Give me some time and I'll look into it." Mr. Serano pleaded.
The woman was such a powerful figure in the business circle. So, he can't afford to offend her!
"I'm sure that you are not aware of this. You may be innocent but your wife is not. If you didn't get ahold of your wife as soon as possible, then we will have to reconsider our partnership." Mrs. Arista coldly replied. Judging from her voice, it was clear that she was serious.
"I understand. I will try to solve this matter right away."
Mrs. Arista ended the call and stared at the newspaper with fierce eyes. She tightly clenched her fist at the thought of Mrs. Catherine Serano.
But the thing that troubled her the most was Felix. What would his reaction be? Now that the whole country was talking about his lover with another man! It will be impossible to easily let go, even if it comes to a patient man like him!
Mr. Serano ordered his secretary to make arrangements to return to Silveren right away! Though his upcoming meetings in the foreign country were important, their partnership with TR Group was more valuable and beneficial for Serano Group.

"I think you're currently the most search person on the Internet in this country." Felix calmly said to Yelena as he put his phone before her face to let her see the article.

It was already noon but the couple were only aware of the news now.
"What?" Yelena simply tilted her head to the phone. "The heiress of TR Group and heir of Serano Group reportedly engaged for 7 years." She read out the headline of the article.
"What's this? Heiress of TR Group?" She shifted her gaze to Felix but the realization struck her. "Is that me?" She gasped.
Felix lightly flicks her on the forehead. "Yes. That's you. Did you also hurt your head that day? I think you have become dumber!" He teased her.
"Ouch! What's the need of that?" Yelena rubbed her forehead and glared at the man. "It was so unexpected. That's why it didn't cross my mind at first. But...why would I be the most search person?" She asked him.
"Because people know Maurice but not you. The heiress of TR Group is still a mystery in the business world." Felix calmly explained.
Yelena simply nodded her head but she suddenly realized something and her expression instantly changed. She looked at Felix with guilt. "Umm...did you not care about this? As of now, the whole world thinks that I'm still engaged to Maurice."
"Don't worry about it. If the Serano's love to create a mess; so do I." He stated confidently.
"What do you plan to do? Don't try anything stupid." She was well aware of how unconventional his mind was! It was the same reason why he constantly pursued her.
"My love, for tomorrow's headline, what about 'The engagement news proved to be false : Prince Felix declared that he is currently in a relationship with the TR Group heiress'?" He opined with a grin.
"No." Yelena doesn't need any seconds to ponder around. She declined the suggestion right away.
"No? Then let's think of another way." Felix let out a light chuckle. He didn't have a problem with exposing their relationship but he won't force it if she disagreed.

Yelena stared at Felix with a confused face. "Since when did you become this obedient? I'm sure that in my memory, there is a troublesome and over stubborn man."
"Troublesome? That's rude!" Felix complained at the label which he was not proud of. He thought that the word 'persistent' would suit him more!
"Didn't you remember how you were a troublesome VIP to my team?" Yelena hinted with a malicious smile. "We even have to go through punishment because of that."
Felix recalled the time he sneaked out of the Guest House. "Ha! You complain about that now? Why? Didn't you have the courage to point out at that time? I remember you begging me to cooperate with your team." A victorious smile plastered his face.
Yelena's face fumed with red due to the provoking words. "Did you just call me a coward?" Her voice was dangerously low as if she was threatening him. Maybe intimidating this man had become her new hobby!
Felix keenly studied her expression. After a solid ten seconds, he finally responded. "No. You're the bravest woman I have ever known." He looked at her with an appeasing smile.
Yelena burst out into a laughter when she witnessed his smile. Was he that easy to fool? Was he really convinced that she was upset? Did he give in just like that?
"You should be an actress rather than a soldier." Felix helplessly sigh. Why did she develop a habit of tricking him?! Was it that fun? She always used a sly move whenever she was at a disadvantage!
"I didn't know that you will be this foolish." Yelena simply replied with a playful smile.
"Whatever." Felix scrolls down his phone and saw another article that immediately attracts his attention. His expression turned sour at the news.
Yelena understands his reaction right away. "What is it?" She asked.
When she got no response from the Prince, she takes the phone from his hand and tries to figure out what happens.
'Maurice Serano, heir of Serano Group will be having a press conference regarding the rumours of his engagement to TR Group heiress.'
"At 2 p.m.? That's after an hour!" Yelena exclaimed. "What is he planning to say?" She muttered.
Will she even have a peaceful day? She became really tired of the drama going on around her!
"I'll be back." Felix rushed out of the hospital room before Yelena could say anything.
* * *
Five minutes left before the press conference and Felix hurriedly entered the building where Maurice Serano was supposed to have the press conference.
He was wearing a sunglass and a mask so that he would be able to hide his identity. He didn't want to start rumours by revealing that he was still in Silveren.
When he saw Maurice Serano who was about to enter the room for the press conference, he ran to him and stand before him to block his way.
Though the stranger didn't show his face, Maurice could tell right away who the man was. Besides, no other men would be this concern about his press conference, isn't it?
"What do you want, Prince Felix?" He asked the man.
Felix take off his mask and smiled. "Oh! I'm glad that you recognize me." His face turned serious. "I want to ask you the exact question. What do you want? What do you plan to do?"

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
