Chapter 20
Kagami sat on the bed using her smartphone to surf the social network passing through the images posted by other pages and celebrities. Kagami left the app, the noticed a message arrive and it belonged to Alya and Kagami opened it and saw an image of Felix Graham de Vanily holding out a couvert filled with money to a foreign woman, followed by another picture of the woman taking it. Kagami furrowed her eyebrows wondering, what Felix was doing there.
"See who I found? Felix. He's not gone. He's here"
"Did you follow him?" Kagami responded back, then watched the notice on the chat app inform Kagami, that Alya was typing currently and waited for her to answer.
"I was late to leave the Metro. When I traveled back he was gone, but you have to listen to me, Nino was there on the outside in the afternoon and spoke to the Adrien you believe him to be. That's Felix. The real Adrien told me and Nino he was going to head to the mansion, but he never told us anything about it. Have you been in the house around the 5 and noticed anything?"
"I was bathing. I didn't hear or see anyone enter" Kagami responded, then heard the door of the room's bathroom open and Kagami placed her smartphone on the ground and watched the fake Adrien walk towards the bed only wearing shorts.
"I forgot to take a shirt with me" Felix pointed out stopping in front of the bed to pick up from the drawer a new shirt, afterward he turned around to put it over his head while Kagami observed it. Kagami took a closer look at the blonde and noticed his front had the six-pack missing and Kagami widened her eyes, realizing Alya has been saying the truth.
"That all makes sense now" Kagami murmured quietly, then Felix opened the cover lying down on the bed, while Kagami sat beside him processing, what just happened now.
"Aren't you going to lie down?" Felix asked making Kagami nod.
"I will, I'm just…..waiting for Alya to reply to an answer I gave her before. Maybe it comes tomorrow"
"Don't worry, she will see it, Darling" Felix said giving Kagami a peck on her cheek, making her feel uncomfortable. "Sleep well,"
"Good night," Kagami said lying down over the bedcover, then she observed Felix embrace the woman tightly making her nervous, then she pushed them away shrieking Felix.
"Is everything alright?" Felix asked lifting his head up to look at Kagami.
"Sorry, I'm…..in pain" Kagami lied making Felix furrow his eyebrows bewildered.
"Did you get hurt today at the gym?" Felix asked earning a nod from Kagami. "What happened?"
"I got hit with a ball…...a med ball"
"Ouch" Felix replied. "Whoever hit you with that was a jerk,"
"Oh no, I stepped over a tennis ball as I was helping out with storing everything back and landed with my stomach on it,"
"Okay," Felix answered and caressed the woman on the shoulder making her frown her face insecure of being around the cousin-in-law. "Would a massage make you feel better?" Felix asked taking his hand away waiting for the woman to answer.
A person began to yell from the outside of the house and the two looked across to the window wondering, who was out there yelling.
"This voice seems familiar?" Felix mentioned watching Kagami get up and head to the window to see, where the sound came from but couldn't see anything.
"I see nothing. Must be on the other side" Kagami mentioned watching Felix leave the bedroom without saying anything. Kagami walked to the bed to grab her smartphone then saw a message from Alya and opened it.
"Nino and I are here around the mansion. Please help us to look for clues. I'm telling you, that Adrien who's there with you IS Felix"
Kagami pressed the call button, then Alya attended it.
"Can you make it quick? The bodyguard must be looking for me" Alya warned.
"Alya I was feeling strange the last days around Adrien and you were right all along. I just saw him before shirtless and Felix doesn't have a six-pack like Adrien does,"
"Finally you're believing us,"
"But if the real Adrien had been contacting you all, why hasn't he contacted me before?"
"He had. He phoned you, but your phone was always not able to reach. Did Felix ever use it for anything and maybe block his number?"
"Check the contact list or better the blocking list and see if you see Adrien's number there" Alya ordered. "I call you later, just message me for answers,"
"Good" Kagami answered turning the call off, then opened the settings of the smartphone and opened the option blocked numbers to encounter the number +33635124 in there followed by the name Adrien Agreste. Kagami glared unimpressed as she found out the number was blocked and restored his phone number back soon she received two messages and opened them.
"You have 18 missed calls from the number 33635124,"
"He really tried to call me," Kagami said opening the next message and pressed the second message, which was from her voicemail, and opened the box. "You have got a voice mail from the phone number 33635124, from the 14th September at 8:37," The voice mail beeped and played the record of Adrien as he spoke into the mailbox hoping he would reach her.
"Kagami, it's me, Adrien. I don't know if Nino already told you, but I'm in Germany, I woke up inside the car trunk of my father and an old friend of mine named Wayhem is here on vacation and is helping me with finding a way back home to Paris. I have no idea if the reason how I got into the trunk had something to do with the time Felix and I were in the bathroom together or not, but I just want you to know, that I'm here by mistake and I should be there in Paris with you all. If you hear this please call me back or send me a message and I'll call you to explain it better to you. I love you so much,"
"He really is it" Kagami marveled then the voice mail played the next recording of the husband.
"You have got a voice mail from the phone number 33635124, from the 14th September at 17:58," Another beep followed before starting a recording from Adrien Agreste. "Hey Kagami, it's me Adrien Agreste. I hope you listen to this message and not Felix. Please whatever he's doing there, don't listen to him, ran away back to Nino and the others. No matter how real Felix plays the role of me, don't fall for him. He just wants to ruin our relationship. Please call me back, I'm heading back to Paris right now and I will come to you, for real. I'm not here on purpose, I'm by accident. You know that I trust you with my life. Please call me back Kagami,"
Kagami sat down on her husband's bed shocked from the missing messages he had sent her without her knowledge about them and covered her face disappointed.
"Good morning Kagami, I hope you will hear any of the messages I've sent you. I'm almost there. I have to talk with you about what happened. I would never leave you alone like this, mostly without a warning. I will explain you everything you need to know and I need to ask Felix why he did this to me. You know I gave you my promise two weeks ago at the wedding night remember….." Adrien's voice recording said and Kagami began to remember the night both were together overnight in a hotel near the airport.
Adrien sat in the hotel room on the bed undressed with Kagami sitting on his lap smooching wildly with the man moaning delightfully onto his lips, arousing him which moved his hands away from her back down to her butt, then he lied down on the bed to continue the necking afterward the two took a break to breathe again.
"Tomorrow is the big day" Adrien mentioned still breathing a little hard from the long making out session. "12 hours flight and a half hour flight to our hotel" Adrien pointed out. "Are you excited about it?"
"Yes," Kagami answered. "The flight will be a little tiring though,"
"I knew you would say that," Adrien said and grabbed the smartphone from the night table to open his email and showed Kagami the reservation for a suite class on an A380 making Kagami furrow her eyebrows, then Adrien opened the internet on his smartphone opening a saved page to show her the interior of a regular suite on an A380.
"What you made a reservation for us in that?" Kagami asked shocked.
"You can sleep there, use the toilet, have a shower and you receive your breakfast there. You know since this was going to be our honeymoon together I thought of doing everything possible to make it the best and I had the luck they had one free for us to go,"
"Gosh Adrien, you didn't have to do that" Kagami pointed out placing her hand on his cheek. "It is already good enough to go to the Maledives with you,"
"What you can do there everywhere is amazing and perfect for us two. There are so many various sports and other activities, it's nuts"
"Oh gosh, I feel like you're going to spoil me for the rest of my life,"
"No, but on the best moments I might go a little too far" Adrien answered. "You know I'm like that,"
"Indeed" Kagami answered poking his nose with hers. "I've never been so happy as I am today, Adrien,"
"My life would not be the same, if you weren't here with me, Kagami," Conceded the blonde leaning his forehead on Kagami's moving his arms back to grab the woman by her hands. "I will always be there for you no matter how good or how bad you feel. I will do anything to help you out in the worst cases, no matter how hard they are and I will not leave you just like that. I promise you that. We will always solve everything we have to together,"
"I know and that's why I'm happy to be married to my best friend," The Japanese woman mentioned putting her hands up on Adrien's face leaning in for a kiss, then had Adrien wrap his arms around her pulling her closer on his lap and he lied down on the back to make out with the woman.
"Let's get out of here!" A voice shouted bringing Kagami out of her flashback and she looked across the bedroom to see Adrien's best friend Nino stay there.
"How did you get here?" Kagami asked confused at the brunette's appearance.
"Let's get out of here. You're not safe here" Nino commanded watching Kagami approach him and Gabriel raced into the bedroom along with Felix.
"It's my last warning young man, get out of there or I will have to call the police" Gabriel warned sternly watching Nino stand next to Kagami.
"That guy there is not Adrien for god's sake! He's a copycat! He's tricking out everyone into believing he's Adrien,"
"That man there is my son!" Gabriel shouted. "I've raised him along his teenhood. I know perfectly how to differentiate him from an impostor,"
"Of course, you've spent half of his life ignoring and treating him coldly on the times you were at home and yet you still say you know your son well?" Nino asked. "No way you weren't present on his wedding day,"
"You both know each other more or less the same thing, can you two just calm down?" Felix asked pretending to care about mediating the conflict.
"Don't start talking Felix. I know it's you and not Adrien" Nino growled back at the blonde, which got annoyed with the Moroccan man.
"Hey!" A voice shouted and the bodyguard of the Agreste's entered into the bedroom shrieking Nino, then he grabbed Nino by his arms.
"Bring him out of here and for tomorrow, make sure he doesn't appear during the time Mrs. Tsurugi shows up" Gabriel ordered calling Kagami's attention.
"What is my mother going to do here?" Kagami asked a little confused.
"She's here to see how you and Adrien are doing" Gabriel responded.
"For what?" Kagami asked. "It's none of her business. She wanted us to split up in the first place,"
"Yes she did, but Gabr…..father tried to convince her to pass by and see us, how we're doing together, and if we're well, she might accept us together or just be somehow be relieved about you" Felix explained making Kagami frown. "Right father?" He asked gazing at the uncle.
"Yes Adrien" Gabriel answered.
"Alright" Kagami mumbled a little uninspired for the visit of the mother.
"Keep looking for the truth girl. You know the real Adrien as well too" Nino stressed while the bodyguard leads off the man, followed by Gabriel.
"Sorry for the interruption you two" Gabriel apologized closing the door leaving Kagami back with Felix. The blonde sight in relief, while Kagami was pondering about what Nino said, then Felix placed his hand on Kagami's shoulder.
"Is it just me or is Nino a little spirited lately?" Felix asked.
"I don't know, you're his best friend. You should have an idea why" Kagami answered a little cold making Felix tilt his left eyebrow in confusion.
"I beg your pardon?"
"Yeah you heard that, but you know what I just remembered?" Kagami asked the blonde. "That you're not Adrien!" Kagami hissed shrieking Felix as she seemed to have caught him, then he tried to continue his role as Adrien Agreste.
"Kagami, darling. I am Adrien," Felix said grabbing Kagami's hands watching her stare at him in disgust and slap his hands away from her.
"No, you're not!" Kagami shouted and noticed the hands of the man, which didn't have the marriage ring Kagami had put on him during their ceremony. "You're not wearing the wedding ring!"
"Oh, the ring!" Felix answered pretending to be shocked. "I forgot it at the work, I….I've been taking it off every time I sanitize my hands and now I've forgotten it at the work. I'm so sorry,"
"Oh really?" Kagami asked crossing her arms. "What is written in your ring?"
"Your name!" Felix answered a little nervous. "Kagami Agreste,"
"Are you sure?" Kagami asked still having her arms crossed.
"Yes, I am" Felix replied. "Why shouldn't I know? I'm your husband after all,"
"Yeah of course," Kagami said while rolling her eyes. "But you know, what I remember?" Kagami asked with a smirk watching Felix slowly get a little panicky not knowing, what the woman knew he didn't.
"Uhm…..what?" Felix asked then Kagami pulled up Felix's shirt to show his belly. "Whoa!"
"Then can you tell me, what happened to your six-pack, Adrien?" Kagami questioned while emphasizing her husband's name differently.
"Uh…..I drank too much?" Felix answered faking a smile watching Kagami take down her hand glaring at the cousin of her husband, which adjusted his shirt while gazing at the woman, which was annoyed at the discovery.
"Okay, I'm not Adrien as you see and now?" Felix asked. "He's not here with us, what do you want to do?"
"I want to know, where he is!" Kagami ordered the blonde man.
"You're asking the wrong person. You gotta ask this the one person, that ordered me to do this," Felix explained walking towards the door closing it and locked it up, then Kagami noticed it and observed him walking back at him with a serious face.
"Why did you look up the door?" Kagami asked.
"To be safe" Felix answered watching Kagami growl at the man.
"The door is already locked up from the outside, it's not like they're going to get in here again like before" Kagami pointed out. "And you haven't answered my first question, who ordered you to do that?" Kagami asked. "Are you doing that for money?" Kagami asked louder.
"I won't tell you that, even if you would offer me more money," Felix explained. "Well, how would you? You and Adrien live in a commune,"
"Just because we live in a commune it doesn't mean we're poor" Kagami replied. "And you know Adrien is rich enough,"
"Yeah and that's why you married him,"
"You don't have the right to judge about me like that" The blue-haired woman hissed. "You know nothing about me!"
"Yeah, but don't worry, Adrien is good. I would never cause him anything bad. Not even for money,"
"That doesn't sound like, what you said before,"
"I'm talking about something like murder, not simple injuries,"
"What have you done to Adrien!?" Kagami hissed grabbing the blonde on the shirt.
"Whoa! I already told you, I'm not the one taking care of him right now!" Felix warned the woman grabbing her on the arms stopping her. "I just knocked him down to sleep, nothing much"
"He got unconscious!" Kagami removed her arms staring annoyed at the man. "You know this can already lead him to problems! How can you do this to your cousin, you're his family!" Kagami yelled. "You're his friend and Adrien likes you…..how…...what has he done to you, for you to do that!?" Kagami scolded Felix, which got angry and pushed Kagami against the bed, causing her to fall on the mattress.
"Enough!" Felix shouted and climbed up on the bed, then pressed on her breast down with his arms, making her yelp and he tried to pull his jogging pants down.
"Get your hands off me!" Kagami shouted and Felix took his arm up to cover her mouth and placed his other hand in front of his lips to sign her to be quiet.
"Shhh, shut up!" Felix ordered the woman, which immediately crashed her forehead towards Felix, causing him to whine and pushed him off her body. She got up and packed the blonde on the collar, then held him up to look into his eyes ferociously earning a frightened look of the man.
"Did you really think I would just lie there and not defend myself? Did you really think I'm like those women that suffer in silence because of a certain type of men?" Kagami asked watching Felix roll his eyes away from the woman. Kagami squinted her eyes noticing the man was ignoring her and she dropped the man on the ground and got up, then picked up her smartphone and headed towards the exit of the bedroom.
"Where are you going?" Felix asked.
"I'm sleeping somewhere else and tomorrow if you don't tell me, where Adrien is I will call the police otherwise I will personally take care of you and make sure you won't ever come close to someone like this!" Kagami warned the blonde, which gulped at Kagami's threat, then she left the room, making Felix cry annoyed.
"Damn it!" Felix yelled, then he looked at his smartphone on the commode and searched for Gabriel's number and typed down a message.
"We need a plan B for tomorrow. Kagami figured out I wasn't Adrien, because she could tell the difference by our body built. What do you think about the pictures I planned to make tomorrow, should I do them anyway?"
Felix sent the message and walked at the corridor to see if he could see Kagami anywhere and he went back into the room heading to the window to encounter Kagami crossing the street to encounter a dark-dressed person, which looked like a woman as he noticed under the hoodie wavy hair going out and Kagami walked away with the person. Felix's phone vibrated as it received a message and Felix opened the message, that was from his uncle Gabriel.
"Try to do them in the afternoon or in the morning before dinner. Make sure they look repugnant enough to convince everyone, that this is "serious". I will as planned scold you as my son and to 100% Mrs. Tsurugi will be doing the same and order you to "leave her"."
Felix responded and sat down on the bed thinking waiting for an answer, then began to think about the comments he has heard before from Adrien's close friends.
"Tell me at least two friends that are you, friends, because they like you and not because of money, come. Tell me?" Nino's voice said.
"How can you do this to your cousin, you're his family! You're his friend and Adrien likes you, what has he done to you, for you to do that!?" Kagami's voice rang louder in his head making him place his hands tightly trying to get them out of his head,"
"The truth hurts, doesn't it?!" Nino yelled.
"Are you trying to convince her you're me like you did that to my friends years ago? That is it, isn't it?" Adrien commented annoyed.
"what has he done to you, for you to do that!? " Kagami hissed enraged with the cousin-in-law.
"If you're feeling upset or out of control, just call before you do anything you might regret." The past Adrien said after finding out about Felix's deed.
"I'm really lucky to have you" Felix's own voice rang in his head and dug his head into the duvet of his cousin's bed yelling at it annoyed with his voices in his head, which had come due to the guilt he had begun to feel after the few mishaps, that came in the plan.
Hold the phone….this is beginning to sound angsty. Will Kagami and her friends find out, where Adrien is? What will be about the evening with Mrs. Tsurugi?
