He’d done it. He had successfully delayed Gabriel's renaming his protégé, and now he was the only option left. It didn’t matter that Gabriel was sending out detectives, scryers, and psychics in secret to search for Adrien. Felix had all but guaranteed his place as the next head of the company.
Felix sat before his desk, his fingers steepled under his chin, as he stared at his monitors. He had tapped into the security feed inside the conference room where the board was currently holding a meeting. He watched the proceedings with a devious, greedy smile.
Gabriel was discussing their profits and losses, as well as the overall balance. It was a subject which bored most people, but Felix listened avidly, preparing for the day when he would be standing in his father’s place.
However, as the items on the agenda dragged on, Felix grew impatient.
‘Come on, old man,’ he grumbled. ‘Get to it, already.’
After three hours, Gabriel finally set his folder down.
‘Ladies and gentlemen,’ he began, his voice weak and tinny through the speakers, ‘as you know, I intended to make my son, Adrien, the next CEO. The critics can whine about nepotism all they want, I don’t care. I feel like either of my sons are fully capable of keeping Gabriel’s the successful company it is. However, it grieves me to inform you that Adrien has gone missing.’
There were audible gasps from the committee members. Gabriel raised a hand, and they fell silent.
‘I assure you, I’m doing everything I can to bring my son home. For the company, this means that Felix will become my heir, as was originally planned. He is intelligent, but he will require guidance. Until his time comes, I will train him myself. He will shadow me everywhere I go, and learn what it takes to be the CEO of a multi-million-euro company. For now, I ask you all to keep what you have heard private. I have no desire to have my work overshadowed or questioned by my son’s disappearance. Thank you for your understanding.’
The meeting adjourned, then the board members shuffled from their seats and left.
Felix grinned savagely as Gabriel slumped into a chair, to put his head in his hands.
Jubilant, Felix pushed away from his desk. He sauntered toward the shelves in the dimly lit, leftmost corner of his room, and squatted to peer into the lower shelves. He pulled out a handful of books, then dug his fingers into the wooden panelling in the back. It lifted free with a small squeak, revealing a dusty, hollow spot in the wall.
Without hesitation, Felix thrust his hand inside, and withdrew a phone. He kept it turned off, but he knew what was on it – pictures of Adrien laying unconscious on the ground in some deep, dark tunnel. Gorilla had done his job well.
Felix had instructed him to sneak up on Adrien from behind, and knock him out. Whether it be by injection, chloroform, or a knock on the head was irrelevant, as long as he was out cold. Still under Felix’s orders, Gorilla then smuggled Adrien out of the house, easily concealing the body in his large jacket. Once he was some distance from the Agreste mansion, Gorilla dumped Adrien somewhere he would not be able to get out of quickly, or find his way home from too soon. Then, all Gorilla had to do was take Adrien’s keys, wallet, and phone, and snap a picture of him, with Adrien’s own phone, of him where he lay, as proof the deed was done.
It was apparent that Gorilla disapproved of Felix’s plan. His face and body language as he handed over Adrien’s things screamed outrage, yet Felix was unconcerned. Gorilla would never confess to his part in the crime, for fear of what Gabriel would do to him if he found out.
Felix felt no remorse. Adrien had been a bother, and an obstacle in his path since they were children. Felix was glad to be rid of him. Nor did he care for Gabriel's suffering. Felix justified his actions by believing they had brought their unhappiness upon themselves. If Gabriel had just given him the company, and if Adrien hadn’t ingratiated himself to their father over the years, they would not have found themselves in their current predicaments.
Felix tossed Adrien’s phone from hand to hand, before replacing it in the secret compartment. He put the wooden panel and the books back carefully, then wiped away the fine layer of dust on the surrounding shelves. Satisfied he’d covered his tracks, Felix sat before his monitors once more.
The conference room was empty. Switching out of the security feed, he returned to what he’d been reading online before Gabriel’s meeting began.

Buoyed by his victory, Felix decided to take his evening meal in the dining room. To his surprise, Gabriel joined him, walking in a few minutes later with a weary expression.
‘Good evening, Father,’ Felix greeted him, his face impassive.
Gabriel nodded in acknowledgement. ‘Good evening, Son.’
They ate in silence, but Gabriel’s red-rimmed, bloodshot eyes didn’t go unnoticed. Felix feigned a melancholy air, poorly disguised as his usual blunt demeanour. Felix fancied himself a consummate actor, now that he knew how to project grief after Emilie’s death.
‘I addressed my board today,’ Gabriel said, breaking the silence. ‘You will, undoubtedly, be pleased to know that you are now my uncontested heir. Congratulations.’
Felix set his fork down. ‘It does not please me to have won the position this way,’ he lied. ‘However, I will do the best I can, under the circumstances.’
Gabriel hummed noncommittally.
‘I’m sure Adrien will turn up, in time,’ Felix consoled him. ‘He probably just got lost, or ran off to a friend’s house.’
‘If either of those scenarios were true, the detectives, would have found him by now,’ Gabriel pointed out.
‘I’m just saying that the simplest solution is often the right one.’
Gabriel remained quiet after that, so Felix took his leave and headed to bed with an untroubled mind.
