“Whoa, whoa, whoa! Easy there, angry young man! Just look, who is getting furious while defending his honor! The only man in this house, or should I say, the only man in this world who has received a check for eight million dollars along with his appointment letter! Even before his first day at the job… I mean, damn! I haven't even heard a stripper getting this much for her private show… you must have something special, Noah, isn't it?”Ruppert spoke, as he winked at Noah to humiliate him even more, as he compared him to a stripper.This time, Eliana was the one who opened her mouth. She had been trying to hold her tears for the last hour, since the moment Sabreena had started blaming her, immediately on arrival.She had been thinking that it was just their anger and dislike towards Noah, which was making them act like this.But after this statement from her uncle, she was sure that it wasn't just their anger, frustration or dislike… they couldn't see him happy at all.No, happiness w

Even though Eliana had said that she will be leaving with Noah, she had this belief that her family would now realize their mistake after this announcement of hers, and would definitely apologize to Noah.Yes, they might be mad at Noah for not being good enough according to their standards and preferences, but still they loved Eliana; after all, she was the daughter of the family.Just like Sienna, and the way they all are ready to do anything to save her, they would definitely realize that probably, they have started off on the wrong foot, but Noah wasn't lying and Sienna was really in the wrong, that's why she is in jail. They would surely reconsider everything after hearing that not only Noah but she is also ready to leave the house. Because they all knew her, she had always supported the truth and she would always support it.No matter who was standing on which side, she would be standing on the side of truth.But no one said anything in response to her announcement, not even her

Eliana looked at the car in complete disbelief: the glossy maroon body had been polished thoroughly, not a single scratch or even a speck of dust on the exterior which was gleaming under the moonlight and the dim glow of the mansion’s lights.The windows were tinted just enough to offer privacy without appearing too dark, and there were smart, shark-like fins positioned gracefully along the roof. It wasn't just an expensive car, but a customized one, too. There was no doubt in her mind that it was the most expensive car among all the cars standing in the parking of their wing of the mansion, or maybe the fleet of cars standing inside the whole mansion itself!She couldn't believe her eyes for a moment, before a realization hit her hard, along with a creeping fear in her heart: there might be a chance that Noah had rented this car!She swallowed hard, feeling a knot of anxiety tightening in her chest. She glanced at Noah, who was busy opening the trunk and placing her luggage inside,

Noah had been standing towards the trunk of the car, when the second stage of this drama had launched with the arrival of the servants.He was standing there silently, out of sight but keenly observing everything. And currently, his mind was trying to find out the reason for this sudden outburst of Sabreena.As far as he knew her, this was highly unexpected from her– not because she loved her niece so much! But she was one of those people who never said something bad to your face or let it show it through their actions, no matter how much they really want to humiliate you from the core of their hearts.But Sabreena’s coming out into the open, that too in such a loud and carefree manner, was something that had been bugging him.But the moment Eliana brought up Sienna's name, he noticed a change in the colors on her face. Within seconds, he understood the real matter: she was doing this because she was still angry about the arrest, and was now afraid of the scandal that was surely goin

Eliana looked visibly pale as she felt her head start to spin. She was never expected to hear this statement; that's why she had challenged her aunt's authority in front of her parents. She had genuinely been thinking that her dad was just mad at her because she had chosen to stay with Noah, ditching her family. And he was obviously angry, he doesn't trust him enough to be capable of taking care of her. And while her mother had the same doubts regarding him, she also had some added resentment for believing that he had manipulated Eliana somehow. But what the hell was this! She had never imagined that her own parents would ever doubt that she would steal something from her own house before leaving… she wasn't even planning to leave forever, in any case! In her mind, it was only going to last for a few days before her parents inevitably started to miss their only daughter. But this statement that they themselves had given her the idea to stop them before leaving, had shaken to the
