Noah's POV :As soon as I questioned him, I noticed uncle Stuart getting a little tense. There were some droplets of sweat on his forehead, which he wiped off very quickly before he cleared his throat and started speaking again. “I am sorry, young master! I am sorry that I wasn't able to help you back then. I have always known that you were innocent, but as a loyal servant of your grandfather, I used to accompany him on his overseas travels and wasn't there to help you. But I assure you, this won't be the case ever again, your uncle has finally come to realize his mistake and is ready to take you in–”I scoffed at the thought, even though I didn't mean to interrupt him. “Take me in ? Really, you are telling me that I should come back to the Edencrest Estate because my uncle is ready to take me in? So now he is trying to prove how generous he is, to have forgiven and forgotten everything and finally have mercy on me! When in reality, I was the one who was wronged and thrown out of h
Noah stepped out of the elevator with Samantha, who had been sent to escort him outside since William Dwayne was still busy with the damage control and uncle Stuart had returned to the chairman's office, probably to berate them some more.But one thing was clear, after the recent drama with the production manager, the meeting would certainly have to be postponed; and so, he could leave the Unity One Tower for now. “Should I ask the driver to drop you off somewhere, sir?”Noah's thoughts came to a stop as Samantha asked him a question, and he realized that they had walked outside the building now.“Uh, no. No thank you, I have a personal conveyance, but thank you for the offer.”“As you say, sir. Goodbye, sir, and I hope you have a good day.”But what Noah couldn't tell her, was the fact that he himself didn't know where he was supposed to go first, as he was still thinking about what to do next.There were a lot of things on his plate, plenty of things to be done which were all fight
Sienna was Eliana's cousin, who fully believed that she was the sole reason Noah and Eliana were married today. Because when Noah had first heard the news about someone from the Frost family being severely unwell, he had deliberately mentioned about his teacher in front of her, taking care to mention that he was not just capable of, but also renowned for curing anyone, suffering from any disease.In the beginning, he wanted to find a way to help her and her family out of any situation that was troubling them, and this was when he met Sienna Frost.She was a regular customer at the bar where he used to work part- time in the city.But when she first turned down the idea, dismissing the existence of such healers as make-believe nonsense, he had decided to leave this matter on time.Until he somehow came to know that it was Eliana, who was suffering from the disease… it felt like his soul had just been ripped away from him.All he wanted was to find a way to help her, so was just waitin
"Whether or not anyone else knows it, I know your truth, Noah! I know very well, that there is no way for you to get that money, and you must have robbed someone or begged for it–”“Are you even listening to what you are saying Sienna! You are the one who came here and crushed my bike, and now you're assaulting me? Can you take a pause and let me know what the hell is even going on, why would I beg someone for money? I have my self esteem, and how can possibly rob someone-”“I don't know, maybe you have sold your soul to the devil himself! I don't care what you did to get your hands on that cash, but I can tell you, you won't get away with it!”She screamed, while Noah was baffled. Did she have her head screwed on backwards?! What on earth… this was the last thing he was expecting today. "What the hell are you talking about–"He asked once again, trying to keep his voice steady despite his rising anger. But his words were left hanging when Sienna spat near his foot. "I'm talking abo
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
Sienna glanced at her watch, feeling a rush of relief as soon as she heard Eliana's voice and saw her approaching them.Her cousin looked flustered, but she had made it just in time. Sienna's messages had done the trick; she knew Eliana was calm and composed in general but tended to panic very easily when it came to family matters. Sienna couldn't help but smirk; the tone of urgency in her texts had been enough to get Eliana here without asking too many questions. But she looked shocked at the ongoing scenario, and Sienna knew exactly how to handle it from here. “What is all this… why are you doing this, Sienna?”Thanks to her quick thinking, Sienna managed to cut Noah off, she didn't want to give him any chance to defend himself. “Because he’s a liar and a thief, Eliana! He’s trying to drag our family’s name through the mud, and I won’t stand by and watch calmly. Because I know that once people like him get the hang of stealing money, they don't stop… he won't stop! Not until he
“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 minor tussle came to an abrupt stop, the moment that car slid out of the parking lot, coming to a screeching halt right outside the building, where they were all gathered. The policemen began whispering amongst themselves, their eyes darting between the car and each other."Do you think it's some kind of trouble?" one officer muttered, his brow furrowed with concern.The other shrugged, his expression not revealing anything. "I don't know…" Meanwhile, Sienna’s eyes were bulging out of their sockets in shock as she glanced around. She might come from a rich family, but the limited edition car, that too in a customized design… this was a whole another level of rich that she could only hope to become… Who could it be?Before anyone could say anything, three more cars followed the first one and private guards dressed in gray suits stepped out of the vehicles, forming a line and scanning the area with practiced protocol.The police officer finally stepped forward, his hand resting on
