“Your stupid family members! What do they think of themselves?”Eliana was caught off guard by the intensity of Bailey's reaction and her anger. Whenever the question of Eliana being married to Noah was raised, Bailey was usually the first to curse Noah out. Not only this, but she often used quite a creative string of insults that left nothing to the imagination. She was also very vocal about Eliana needing to divorce Noah as soon as possible, then why was she getting so angry now? Had her feelings changed overnight?As Bailey slammed another drink down, her eyes flashing, Eliana started to understand why."I'm all in favor of you divorcing that loser Noah, but come on! Couldn't they find a single person for you, apart from someone that old? Richard Jensen of all people, a guy who's practically your uncle's age? What do they think of you? My best friend can get a much better, much hotter guy easily. I mean, just look at the amount of people dying to marry you when you aren’t even tr

Eliana’s tears continued to flow as she recounted the events. “I turned my mom down, and we walked out of the house, and I was ready to go wherever Noah wanted to take me. But then… I almost couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw it—a maroon luxury Rolls Royce parked in front of my house.The limited model that I'm hundred percent sure, is more expensive than any car my family owns. And on top of everything, it wasn’t just any car; it was customized, so it would have cost a fortune! I mean, in my mind, that car could belong to anyone but Noah! But, surprisingly enough, it was his. He didn’t say much either, he just quickly put all my stuff in the trunk, and we were ready to go.”Eliana sighed deeply, and Bailey, trying to keep up, asked eagerly;“So that’s it? That’s all the drama that happened, and as for your husband’s car—”Eliana cut her off, slamming her hand on the table in frustration as she remembered what happened next. “No! That’s hardly it. Because before I could even get in

“Protection! But why? And from what? I am not a helpless child who would die if no one had mercy on him and took him to their house! I am older now, and I know how to survive on my own–”Warner pulled him into his embrace again, cutting off the rant that Noah was about to set off on. Every word that Noah was saying was hurting the old man like a bullet to his chest; and the pain from these wounds was becoming more and more unbearable for him.After all, Noah was right… just because of a fear hidden in his heart and a doubt which he still didn't have any clues about, he had let his grandson down. He had never shown the courage to bring Noah back, not until he was completely assured that Otis and his wife wouldn't be doing anything to harm Noah.But before he could complete the list of the probable enemies that he had compiled for Noah's protection, Noah spoke again, freeing himself from his grip. “Don't try to use these emotional weapons on me! I demand an answer for the question I wa

Bailey stammered out, “What did you say? A mansion? Maybe I’m too drunk, and I have reached the stage where I'm hallucinating now…”She lifted her hands close to her cheeks, ready to slap herself to knock some sense back into her mind. But Eliana caught her wrists in time as she shook her head, her expression serious. “No! Bailey! You are not hallucinating. I did say that he took me to a mansion. It is on the outskirts of the city, and from what little of it I saw last night and this morning, it seems quite grand and spacious… something really beyond my expectations.”Bailey gulped, her hand shaking slightly as she set her drink down. “But how! How is it possible that someone who couldn’t even afford to rent out a one bedroom apartment of his own, in the most cheapest part of the city, has taken his wife straight to a mansion, in the middle of the night? That too, on such short notice of an hour at most? Ellie, are you sure you are safe there? How sure are you…”Eliana raised an ey

It took almost an hour for both Noah and Stuart to reach the restaurant Warner wanted them to visit; Noah had correctly estimated the time it would take to get to the other side of the city during peak afternoon traffic. But in his hurry, Noah had once again forgotten to change the clothes that he was wearing that morning, while making breakfast for Eliana and then dropping her off at Red Swan Entertainment. It wasn't just because he was thinking that he would change at his leisure after his return, but also because he didn't have many options. Even though he had shifted to the new house and gotten the new car, along with the assurance of getting back everything that belonged to him, he hadn't bought anything that could show the reflection of the money he had in his bank account, or the properties and empire he was going to acquire.It was partly because of a lack of time; since the day he had met Stuart and decided to accept the proposal of his uncle and aunty, till today, he hadn
