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,
The new voice had come from somewhere behind her, and Eliana thought she recognized it perfectly in one go.It belonged to her aunt, Sabreena Frost.But she still turned around with some doubts lingering in her heart. Was it possible? No, she might have misheard someone else's voice.Or maybe, her mind was toying with her after she was so emotionally vulnerable, and it was just a hallucination that was making her hear the things that couldn't even exist. She was absolutely sure about the fact that no matter how angry and upset her family was with her, they would never entertain the thought of her stealing something else, and that too, from her own house! Then accusing her of it wasn't even possible. Sure, just a few minutes ago, her family had set up a front against Noah to blame him for theft, but that was because in their eyes, he was still an outsider.Her husband had never been able to integrate into the family due to being poor, an orphan and a stay at home husband, but that di
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 had already been struggling to keep her calm, even after witnessing the new lows that her family was capable of reaching, all within a day!But the mention of a physical search from Sabreena’s mouth, pushed her over the edge. She lost her composure and screamed, her voice hoarse with authority. “Enough, aunty! I get it, you have your doubts. And although I can't understand them fully, I can still give you the margin to keep those doubts in your head. Because I know they haven't originated in one day, and they aren't going to vanish in one day either.But that does not mean that you are allowed to humiliate anyone you want, on the basis of your assumptions alone! And how dare you think that it will be okay for you to order the staff to check my bags?”Eliana was seething with fury, which she herself didn't know she was capable of. When she spoke next, her voice was icy cold.“I want you to remember one thing, so pay attention because I'm only going to say it once: if you are th
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
Everyone who had just tumbled out of the house was already in shock, as they were unable to understand what the matter was; and the more they tried to understand the situation, the more confused they got.Nobody had yet answered the question that David had asked, while Eliana and Sabreena were busy glaring at each other. What was Sabreena doing out here, when she had excused herself from the discussion to call her husband, who was currently overseas, and explain everything to him. While they were still trying to figure out the reason behind her presence, Eliana took it one step further. She started to lay her trolley flat on the ground, unzipped it and then dumped out everything that was inside it, on the driveway.“Are you really out of your mind, Ellie? First, you decided to show your support for this jerk standing right here, and then you announced that you are leaving with him! And now, you are throwing your stuff out? What is going on in your head? Do I need to call a psychiatr
Sabreena faced Olivia with the same fire burning in her eyes, obviously being well aware of the unspoken beef that had always existed between both the sisters- in -law.But Olivia had never gotten the chance to say anything or express her feelings out loud, because of Sabreena's mother and brothers, who had always shielded her. After all, she was the daughter of the family, and nobody would tolerate any disrespect towards her. But today, things were different. Somehow, this Olivia had also found a set of wings to fly like her daughter, and the guts to speak back to her.But Sabreena smiled to herself, knew exactly how to drag her down to the ground, real quick.Sabreena's eyes narrowed as she prepared to strike. With an evil glint in her eye, she exclaimed, ignoring Olivia and looking towards David instead. “Brother! I saw this street rat trying to sneak off with this luggage, while he was putting it inside that car! And I suddenly realized, something is definitely wrong and he is
“Eliana! What kind of a man do you think your father is? Have you really started to think that every man in this world is as useless as your husband, who doesn't care about the respect and dignity associated with himself or the relations related with him?”David's face twisted with frustration and disbelief as he heard his daughter's accusations. For the first time that night, Olivia was completely stunned and her husband's words were echoing exactly that she was thinking, without any intentions to manipulate or hurt someone. David took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling dramatically. Just the thought of this was enough to raise his blood pressure!“Because, apart from this fact, I really can't think of any other situation where you could believe in this bullshit theory of yours– or whoever first thought of it! How could you ever believe that I will ever allow anyone to even touch your bags without your explicit consent? And on top of that, asking them to physically examine
