“What did you say?”

David sneered, looking at Noah like he was just a pest in his sight, who was trying to make excuses to save himself from the pesticide he was going to spray on him to save his daughter.

“You heard it right! I was here to announce that I am leaving your house today.”

Noah replied in a totally flat tone, without showing any emotion.

He was completely carefree that they couldn't harm him in any way, and not because they were not going to try! But because, after years of this treatment, he had already become immune to any drama they were going to pull.

On top of that, he had been putting up with all their demands, temper tantrums, and demeaning slurs till now, because he wasn't sure about where he was going to take Eliana… after all, his wife had always lived a sheltered life of comfort and luxury, having grown up as a Frost.

Even though his self respect had always made him question not leaving the house, he had stepped back each time, looking at Eliana's face. And so

    “How dare you think that my daughter will be the one to leave her luxurious house for your sorry ass? Why would she abandon all these comforts she has grown up in, just to go with a beggar like you? You have been feeding all these years on our scraps, and now you are dreaming that my daughter will leave this world of luxury with you! Have you lost your mind, or you are high on some cheap drug that has snatched away all your capacity to think?”Olivia yelled again, shaking with fury at this audacious claim.She was so furious that if there was no punishment for murder under the law, she might have committed one murder right there, right then.Everyone else was also shocked with Noah's boldness. Never in their wildest dreams had they imagined Noah to have the guts to stand up for himself, even after his display of boldness at the family meeting last week.That was an extreme scenario, but shortly after that night, he had returned to his usual meek and submissive self. Hence, it was even

    Everyone apart from Richard already knew whom this voice belonged to; after all, it was Sabreena, Sienna’s mother.And although her sudden arrival was a little shocking for everyone else, Noah and Eliana knew exactly why she was here.And at the same time, Olivia was neither upset nor very happy about her arrival, but feeling a mix of indifference and irritation– all because of Sienna and her stupid message about her getting Noah arrested.If Olivia hadn't taken that message seriously, she would have planned all of this a little differently. And now, when she had already taken it into consideration while planning things, if that message was really serious, then this idiot wouldn't have been standing here!But clearly, her jinxed son-in-law was already here to rain on her parade, and neither of the two circumstances had actually played out!And this was killing her from the inside, due to the continuously fuming rage which was desperately trying to find an escape by some means… but she

    “Ye… yes dad.”She stammered.“How could you, Eliana! We have been forgiving all your mistakes, one after the other, thinking that you are just a naive child. But how can you do something like this to a family member, how could you let Sienna go to jail because of Noah's mistake?”“It wasn't Noah's mistake, dad, Sienna had some misunderstanding.”Eliana finally managed to gather the courage to speak in reply, but as soon as she finished her statement, Sabreena spoke again.“Misunderstanding! Eliana, seriously, you're blaming it on some misunderstanding?! You are telling me that you have let Sienna go to jail, just because of a simple misunderstanding. Are you even in your senses, or has this guy hypnotized you?Because apart from these two options, I don't find any other explanation for why you would think like this in the first place, and sit at one place so calmly!”Olivia looked at the red face of her husband, and instantly got reminded how important the word ‘family’ was for him.

    “Eliana, what the hell do you think you are doing? Let go of my hand! Today, I will teach this idiot a lesson he will remember for the rest of his miserable life.”Olivia bellowed like an angry bull charging for attack, as she yanked her arm free. She shot daggers at Eliana through her eyes, noticing that the person who had caught her wrist before she could hit Noah, was none other than her own daughter. The betrayal she felt was unimaginable! And so, she roared again, feeling that she still had quite a lot of anger to unload from her chest. “How dare you stop my hand in the middle, when I was going to slap him? Don't you know, he needs to learn a lesson from the mistakes he has made! And since his bitch of a mother hasn't given him any manners, I'm going to discipline him instead!”Olivia's rage reached her earlobes, turning them bright red as she gave her daughter death glares. Who could have thought, thay her own flesh and blood would turn out to be a traitor?But Eliana had also

    “I haven't committed any felony.”Noah finally spoke, grinding his teeth with anger; knowing that no matter what Eliana was going to say, there was no chance they would believe her.And the thought of her being heartbroken because of this reaction from her family, was making him so anxious that he had been standing quietly till now… thinking that if his silence could make things easier for her, then he was going to stay silent till eternity.But when he heard Sabreena continuing this pointless blame game, he understood that no matter how long he kept his silence, she wasn't going to give Eliana the respect of at least hearing her out without interrupting her at every word… then he could forget about anyone believing Eliana! It didn't matter if God himself came down to earth to testify in his favor, Sabreena still wasn't going to let go of her rant about how she was there to take him to the police station and get him arrested in exchange for her daughter.As if the legal system actual

    “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

    Noah was completely fed up with all this drama, when he had originally wanted to leave as quickly and quietly as possible.In any case, the blame for theft was something that had always managed to trigger him. And today, he has also faced his childhood trauma associated with the same blame…Probably, this was also one of the reasons that he was already a little irritated. And so, the moment he heard Sabreena taking out her frustration on Eliana, he lost it completely.He had been trying his best to tame his temper; even though he knew the intentions of Sienna and her mother had never been good, regarding Eliana. But still, he hadn't ever wanted to make it obvious to her, knowing that it would hurt her sentiments. However, the water had already gone overhead now, and he couldn't possibly care about saving her from getting drenched, when she was about to get drowned.Frustrated by all of this, he suddenly did a complete 180° on his character and switched his usual habits and behaviors

    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

    Noah was sitting in the garden, trying desperately to calm himself as he had been feeling a little uneasy because of the way things had unfolded.He had spent most of his life away from home, this is why, he knew the value of family. He had also met several people who were dark to the very core, but for some reason, he thought that Liam was different…Noah had a feeling that everything he had been doing so far, was just because something that he thought would always remain his, had been snatched from him in the middle of all the succession drama… and especially because of Noah himself.So it was a logical thing that he hated him from the core of his heart… but he had also seen his affection towards their grandpa. He was lost in his thoughts, staring off into the distance… when he noticed some disturbance near the ivy vines, lurking by the southernmost boundary of the garden.He rose from his seat and started walking towards the boundary; and Ben snapped to attention.He had been stan

    “Killed him? Dad!! You are saying you killed him… wasn't his death an accident? Then how is it possible that you are the reason behind–”Liam didn't even realize that he had started to interrogate his father under the effect of his anxiety on hearing the last words spoken by him.Till now, he had been thinking that they were standing on the right side of the situation as well as the history that was yet to be written. He really believed that they were the oppressed ones who had always been discriminated against, trying to fight for their rights which had unjustly been snatched from them.But after hearing his father's nonchalant response, he wasn't able to think straight anymore. He was ready to go to any extent to get what really belonged to him, but killing someone was something he could never imagine doing… nor was he able to digest the fact that his father was a murderer.But before he could have completed his statement, Otis interrupted his rambling. “Yes!

    Sabreena hesitated in the doorway, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment as she clutched a large bouquet of white lilies. She took a deep breath before stepping into the living room, her eyes darting around nervously and scanning the faces: her brother was looking at her with confusion, while Olivia’s gaze was sharp, Eliana’s gently curious, and Noah was stoic and calm; although his calm demeanor wasn't exactly helpful in taming her anxiety.Finally, with a forced smile, she spoke up. “Oh, come on, Olivia…” She started awkwardly, the bouquet trembling slightly in her hands. “How long are you going to hold on to some… some small incident from ages ago? Why would I insult him? I… actually, I have come to thank No- I mean, Mr. Kingsley.”Eliana shot her mother an amused glance, while Noah remained silent, his face unreadable as Sabreena took a few steps forward, extending the bouquet of lilies towards him.

    Liam threw down the glass vase which was placed on the side table in his room, sending it crashing to the floor, as soon as he noticed his parents trying to enter his room once again.It had been four days since his return- or to be honest, the rather rude way in which he had been thrown out, not just from the party but from the city itself. The security had unceremoniously dumped them on the first flight back to Edinburgh, without caring which class tickets were available. And apart from declaring in front of his parents that he had failed miserably, he hadn't given any specific details to his parents. Instead, he had locked himself in his room, boycotting everything: from eating properly to speaking to his parents.In fact, since last night, he had not even touched the food, even for once… and this was making both Otis and Viola more and more tense with every passing second.Even though they were aware that the deal had slipped out of Liam's hands, they were still trying to keep th

    “What? Richard Jensen was there too?!” Eliana’s voice burst out in surprise from Noah's phone speaker, her lovely face filling the screen of their video call as she heard the entire story from his mouth. She leaned closer, her eyes wide with disbelief, while Noah glanced into the screen as he replied while preparing to go to bed. “Oh yeah! And he had plenty to say against me at first, calling me a scammer and whatnot. But as soon as Grandpa Omar and Norm showed up, he went quiet and practically disappeared into the crowd, fearing for his own safety.”Eliana burst into laughter, covering her mouth. “After what happened last time, I can’t believe he had the nerve to show up and then also splash mud on you! I mean, did he get the guts?”Noah chuckled. “Apparently, he bribed the event organizers for an invitation. And I guess he was really feeling frustrated after our last meeting, and thinking that he had nothing more to lose now, just vented out all his anger. His little scam was

    “I understand, Grandpa Omar, that you’re not much of a drinker.”Noah continued with a steady voice, meeting some raised eyebrows from the people gathered around there. He continued, knowing that his words were surely having some effect, since Norm and Omar were looking at him with curiosity now, instead of suspicion. “I am also aware that you, Grandfather Norm and my grandfather have planned to visit Edencrest Estate together after the signing of the deal, and finally share the bottle of wine purchased so long ago. That is why I have ensured that the other bottle has safely been delivered at your residence, as the homage to that promise.”He glanced at the broken necklace on the floor, and everyone else's eyes followed; to the place where Sienna had thrown it after snapping the string and causing the pearls to scatter in all directions. “And I apologize for the condition of the necklace. It was a vintage heirloom, and though it was meant to be my gift to Eleanor, I shall make sure

    Taking a moment to gather his thoughts, Noah blinked before responding. “Of course,” he said smoothly. “I am happy to answer any questions you might have to help you see that I’m speaking the truth.”Blaine folded his arms, looking Noah up and down, an expression of irritation on his face. Clearly, he thought it was nothing more than a waste of his time to entertain him, but he had no other choice. “Fine! Then show me what you have brought as a gift for my niece. If you are truly the heir of the Kingsleys, you would know better than to show up empty handed, wouldn’t you?”Noah inclined his head, unbothered by Blaine’s mocking tone. “Certainly, uncle. I’ll show you the gifts I have brought.” Turning slightly, he motioned to one of his guards, who stepped forward, handing him a wine bottle wrapped in elegant packaging. Noah held it, his fingers lightly wrapping around the bottle— the vintage wine he had personally unearthed that morning.He extended the bottle toward Blaine. “This

    Sienna’s eyes narrowed with suspicion as she looked at the scene in front of her. Just this morning, this idiot Noah had been roaming around the city, trying to get access into a high- end bank.And now, he was supposedly surrounded by an army of guards? Something was really fishy…Just then, her eyes landed on the man at the front of the group, and recognition flashed in her eyes. She clenched her fists, it was him! The same gullible bodyguard from the bank earlier that morning; the one whom she had already fed lots of half- truths and mostly lies about Noah, painting him as a dangerous criminal.She had tried to make sure that he wouldn't slip away by any means, but he had. And now she knows how! Feeling a pang of betrayal and anger, she couldn't hold herself back from commenting;“Oh! I see, he has managed to fool you all too! And now you’re siding with him?” Her laugh was bitter, remembering the way this guard had promised her that he would call the police on Noah and that the

    At the time when Noah had entered the venue, hardly anyone had noticed him in the middle of VIP guests, each more prestigious than the last.As long as he had an invite and the security had allowed him in, only a fool would waste their time questioning a nobody instead of making the most of this opportunity to rub shoulders with some of the most important people in the world. However, as Liam and Sienna started to mock and humiliate Noah out loud in the open, a crowd slowly started to form around them.The guests started to point him out specifically, murmuring about the possibility of him being a con man and still dodging the security arrangements at this venue.Meanwhile, Noah was standing at his place, completely unfazed by their speculations and instead maintained his calm with a smile that didn't even budge for a single moment.“And do you mind telling me, when will she become your wife? Because as far as I know, my sister in law was already married to someone else. So I'm assum
