Eliana's POV:By the time I finally reached the office, the meeting I was rushing for was actually pushed back a few days, and I doubt anyone could be more relieved than I was. I was in a regular briefing meeting, where my assistant was outlining the plans for this quarter for the ongoing projects, while Bailey was trying to catch my gaze from across the table.This is when my phone vibrated, and I glanced at the screen; only to find Sienna’s name? With a frown, I excused myself from the meeting and checked the message: "I'm sending you an address, come urgently."My heart began to race. Why would my cousin send such a cryptic text? I called her immediately, but there was no response.“What’s wrong, Sienna?”Ultimately, I had to send a text, and her reply was prompt and brief. "It's about your husband. Come as soon as you can."That was it; I couldn't take the suspense anymore. I felt a knot form in my stomach as I informed my secretary I’d be stepping out for a while.Panic rising

“Why… why aren't you doing something? I'm telling you, he is a criminal! He needs to be behind bars. Such people are a menace to society! He needs to be arrested so he can understand, there are consequences to his actions… ever since he has married into my family, he has started thinking that he can do whatever he wants! Help me, please!”Sienna was still screaming bloody murder, her voice piercing the air and accusing Noah of harassing her. On hearing her dramatic cries, the remaining police officers also came rushing over."What seems to be the matter, ma'am?" one officer inquired.With tears streaming down her face, she launched into her tale, "I… I was just trying to stop him from escaping the building when he pushed me! I was just doing my duty as a good citizen, officer.”She clutched at her chest, her breath hitching dramatically before every pause. Noah, exasperated, tried to intervene. "Sienna, stop your drama now! Officer, I didn't push her, and neither is the situation li

The morning was going quite differently for Sienna than she had expected, with a lot more twists and turns, but until this moment, she had been confident that she could still turn things around.Until this moment, she had been completely focused on convincing everyone against Noah, hoping to prove his bad intentions and tendency to scam people for money. She wanted to make sure he ended up behind bars, so badly, that she had ignored almost everything else. But for the first time since that morning, her ears and brain had finally coordinated and registered the words “arrest her”.And finally, the realization hit her like a truck. Her? Who was he talking about… surely, he didn't mean her… Sienna Frost, right? This couldn't be happening… But before she could convince herself fully, the police men released Noah's and turned towards her as dread washed over her. Sienna felt like she had been cornered and stepped back instinctively, only to collide with another policeman standing a few s

The convoy of cars swept through the imposing main gates of the Edencrest Estate, before halting in front of the main wing.Noah stepped out of the car, feeling his body stiffen up out of instinct; no matter what plans he had made, inside him, there was still a child who remembered what had happened the last time he had stood on these steps, feeling totally lost and heartbroken.He was betrayed, humiliated and forced to leave the house for the crime he never committed.He had not been expecting that nostalgia would hit him so hard, like a punch in the gut, as he looked at the palace-like mansion that was supposed to be his home sweet home.But unlike his imagination, it had never been able to serve its purpose of giving him safety and comfort.The large garden stretched out before him, leading to the steps that he started to climb with a heavy heart…All those years, he had been thinking that he never cared about this house, or his grandpa enough to remember anything about him or this

“Which news?”Noah asked with complete confusion, because he had never heard about any such news in the first place!And about the lantern thing, he knew it… he had always been familiar with that lantern, so there was no chance of him mistaking it for a lamp or something else. Just like he would never leave it untreated if it ever ended up falling from his hands…But the most important factor here was, the fact that he had never been in that room the day he was casted out of the house.He had visited the room several times– with his parents, or without them, too.But on the day everything started to stir up like a tornado, he had not even left his room the whole day, and was waiting for his food. Because if the caretaker uncle Stuart was talking about was the same caretaker whom he remembered, then she was the only one who used to care for him after his parents' death.And the reason he had been starving the whole day, that day, was because she had quit the job for some reason, and le
