It was Kendra, Rieka's cousin.

Immediately she rushed in, she switched the TV on.

She couldn't help but glare at Rieka and Noah.

She had her seat as everyone focused on what was displayed on the TV.

Brucy was addressing the press and announcing Rieka as his newly appointed personal assistant.

It was rare! Brucy Kings, the chairman of Top Notch Group addressing the press in person?

Suddenly, Senior Fullams clapped. “This is a great achievement, dear Rieka. With this, the Fullams business will thrive again.”

“Getting married to Liam Grichy will smoothen our relationship with Top Notch Group,” Lois said.

She ignored Noah's presence.

“What's all this about? I was given out as a bondwoman, but the man decided to get married to me and now you expect me to divorce him and get married to another man. Is this some kind of joke?”

“So what? That's in the past and now you have to do as I say.” Liam spoke angrily.

“Who do you think you are…” Rieka snapped at Liam and turned to Noah. “Let's go!”

Senior Fullams stood up.

He did not know what Rieka did that made Brucy Kings choose her as his personal assistant.

It was Rieka who got the job, Noah wasn't mentioned for once. The Grichys also have a say about who works in Top Notch Group, Rieka could lose her appointment on Liam's order.

“Rieka, you randomly met this so-called Noah. Now you have a wider opportunity with Liam. My final decision is, to end whatever you have with him and marry Liam.” He said.

Boldly, Rieka said. “I've also made my decision. We have to go now.” She said holding Noah's hand.

“Are you sure about this?” Noah asked calmly.

Rieka nodded.

“You want to prove stubborn, step out of that door and bid your new appointment bye.” Liam giggled.

Rieka was scared and in a state of dilemma. She did not want to lose the job and in the same light, she couldn't divorce Noah.

She looked at Noah, tears pricking the corner of her eyes. “Sweetheart, just relax. Let's see if Liam can terminate your appointment with Top Notch Group.”

Coldly, Liam said. “Are you daring me?”

The Fullams were curious.

“Just a minute!”

Liam took out his phone and placed a call.

He looked confident.

“Hi, Mister Shawn. It's Liam Grichy. I'd like you to confirm the new appointment given to Rieka Fullams. I want the appointment terminated.”

On the other side of the phone.

Shawn was the second in command after Bruce. He was lost. He wasn't aware of any new appointments. “I'll get back to you as soon as possible.”

“Alright.”

He hung up.

Noah spoke, “What did he say?”

“Is someone scared?” Liam asked sarcastically.

A few minutes later, his secretary submitted some files on his table.

He was always aware of everything that happened in the company but this was unusual.

Going through the files, he saw that the name “Rieka Fullams” had been added to the payroll.

He called the chairman. Wanting to know who she was and how she got a job without his consent. And emphasized that their new partner's family, Grichys, wants to know.

“Shawn, you have no right to question me. And as for the Grichys, what gave them the audacity to question my decisions or request that her appointment be terminated?”

Brucy ensured that every deal and partnership with the Grichys was terminated.

After the call, Shawn was shocked and felt reluctant to return Liam's call.

Liam was tired of waiting for his call, so he called back but got no response.

He called again, no response.

Liam concluded that Shawn was trying to confirm the authenticity of her appointment letter.

Finally, Shawn called back. Liam's phone was on loudspeaker.

“Hello, Liam. Yes, Rieka Fullams got an appointment with the company as the chairman's personal assistant. She is next in command after the Bruce Kings. Our deal with the Kendicles has also been terminated.”

They stared at each other in disbelief.

“What?”

“That's impossible. There must be a mix-up. How did she become the second in command? You cannot terminate Kendicles contract for no just cause.” Liam was shocked.

Suddenly, Rieka's phone rang.

It was Brucy Kings. He got her contact from the credentials she submitted.

Immediately, she ensured her phone was on loudspeaker.

“Hi Rieka, do you have any relationship with the Grichys?”

“H-Hello sir, not at all. He only threatened me that if I don't marry him, my appointment with Top Notch Group will be terminated.”

“He must be a fool! How dare he? He needs to be taught a lesson. Forget about him. No one can terminate your appointment. I'll deal with him now.”

Brucy hung up.

Noah gave a mocking glare at Liam.

Liam wasn't convinced. “Who did you call? He can do nothing. What's this about dealing with me? He doesn't know who the Grichys are.”

Brucy gave an order. “Seize every liquidated asset that belongs to the Grichys within the next 30 minutes.

At his order, everything gets done instantly.

“Are you still doubting my connection with the Top Notch Group? You should be grateful I want you to be mine. A lot of girls are throwing themselves at me because of the opportunities they stand to gain.”

“Shut up! You spoiled brat.” Rieka spilled.

“Watch your tongue, girl,” Tom warned.

Noah couldn't help but smile. He wanted to see how the whole scenario would end. Turning to Rieka who was still trying to figure out why the chairman of Top Notch Group deemed it fit to call her. “You have gotten into Mister King's good book. You need to share the secret with me.” He smiled.

Liam wasn't moved. He doubted Mister Shawn's words and felt Brucy's call to Rieka was staged.

“He doesn't know what is ahead of him!”

The next minute, Liam received a call from Fiona. “Where are you? Return home this moment. There's an urgent family meeting.”

Liam was nervous.

    Liam arrived home. “You fool! What have you done? You are such a miscreant. The deal with Top Notch Group has been canceled.” His father yelled. Liam was shocked. Top Notch Group canceled the deal with Kendicles. It can't be true. How did that happen? Was it the chairman of Top Notch Group that called Rieka? Locking his gaze with Fiona, he knew he had landed them in a deep mess. While Dave Grichy kept yelling at his son, he received a call. “Liam is the reason for all that's happening.” “Mister Dave, Top Notch Group said after all risk assessments were taken concerning the deal, we don't fit to be in partnership with them.” “Kendicles share price is drastically falling. Billions of dollars has been lost.” “The board of shareholders request an explanation from you before they sue us for incompetence and financial fraud.” “All our properties given to the bank as collateral have been seized until we pay off our loan.” “Sir, we are now at the peak of all this.

    "Hmmm, the statue, made of pure gold.” He whispered. That image was over five decades old. It was the oldest patrimony his family ever had. He recalled how his father and grandfather cherished it and kept it away from the reach of children. That statue is an inheritance that cannot be traded for any amount of money. “Another opportunity to take what belongs to us. Make all the preparations needed for tonight.” “Alright!” Andy nodded. “I have to go now. I don't want to keep my wife waiting.” “Andy giggled.” He was left in awe about how Noah genuinely cared for Rieka. “Bye!” Noah gave him a pat on his back. Noah rode his scooter and waited opposite the Top Notch Group company. He saw Rieka exchanging pleasantries with some of the company's shareholders as she exited the building. The next moment, a Mercedes Benz pulled over before Rieka. The car door opened and a man stepped out. He wore a blue button-down shirt, black pants, and black shoes. “Rieka!” The man

    “Let's have dinner,” Rieka said, walking out of the room. “I am so hungry.”Noah stood and walked behind her. “Alright!”When they were halfway done with their meal, Senior Fullams spoke.“There will be an event happening at the Grichy's house tonight. Rieka, I think you should attend. It will also increase your fame and connection with the rich folks.”“That's true, I almost forgot about the event.”Quickly, Rieka held Noah's hand and they went back to their room.“Can you help me choose what to wear?” Rieka said, staring at her wardrobe. “I don't seem to see the best for this event.”Noah walked towards her. “Let me see, let me see,” he said, his eyes scanning through the clothes in the wardrobe.“This one looks good and it suits the event.” Noah pointed at a white, high-neck dress with no sleeves. “By the way, what's the event about?”“The Grichy's organized an auction event. It will be happening tonight. As Grandpa said, it's an opportunity for me to get more fame and increase my

    At the Fullams mansion. Rieka’s scream alerted the Fullams, Senior Grichy who was studying, got up and went to the sitting room. “Rieka! What happened? You are supposed to be at the event?” He asked, with a cold tone. “Search every room. Bring everyone here.” Silas ordered, the soldiers searched each room and brought them forward forcefully. The scream got intense as Lois and Tom questioned why they were captured and dragged with no explanation given. Now, Senior Fullams, her grandfather; her mother, Lois; Tom, and Rieka sat in the middle of the foyer. They were the only ones who were at home at that moment. They were all tied up. They were confused, and couldn't explain what made Silas Grichy visit their house with his escorts at that time of the day. Although they came in with Rieka. Silas stood before them, his hands pocketed. “I am here because Rieka has a debt to pay and you all have to help her out.” He said, his tone etched with command as the soldiers star

    “Don't lay your filthy hands on her again.”“I am the survivor of the Kendrick family!”The crowd was confused, wondering about the audacity he had to speak in such a manner before Silas Grichy. Silas was amazed at Noah's courage. He paused for a while, thinking of the best way to deal with him.Taking a few steps away from Rieka, he saw a man walking towards him. The man wore a face cap and a black eye patch. Then he widened his eyes, increasing his anger.“You killed Senior Grichy!”“This is the culprit.”The guests couldn't believe their ears. Their faces grew cold and fear of the unknown gripped them. They remembered vividly the day Senior Grichy was murdered.“Who are you?"Silas recalled the video he watched about the killing of his father. “Yeah! The face cap and the eye patch!” He muttered. “The survivor of the Kendrick?”Silas stood still, while Noah was still coming closer to him. The courage and power this man showed was something he couldn't wrap his head around.Andy als

    At the supreme villa.Since Noah was a doctor, one of the rooms in the villa was furnished and equipped with every item like a hospital ward.Noah gazed at Rieka, who was on the bed. Her chest was bleeding, and her face was swollen. She was feeble as a result of the blood she had lost. She became unconscious.Sadness was evident on Noah's face, with his eyes red.Racing his hand around her neck, he sighed, portraying disappointment. He felt like venting his pain by screaming but he wouldn't because he didn't want to scare Rieka further.His stomach bolted in anger and his feeling of disappointment doubled. Rieka was one of the reasons he returned to Linton City, what would he become if he had not intervened the time he did? He did not protect her when she needed him. Noah doesn't mind laying his life down for her to show how grateful he is.He grabbed his medical kit and gradually cleaned the cuts on Rieka's chest. At that moment, all he wanted was to take revenge on the Grichys. Afte

    Hours later, Rieka was awake but stayed quiet. Her sneeze snapped Noah out of reverie. Calmly, Noah spoke. “Darling, what would you like to have for breakfast?”Rieka did not reply. Noah sighed.“You have nothing to worry about. It's now in the past.”Rieka slightly turned to sit up. Her face showed a troubled expression.“There's a lot to worry about. Silas Grichy is after my life. I don't know what I did to him. You should stay away from me, so you don't get into trouble.”“Calm down! It's all over the news. Silas is dead and no one is after your life.” Noah assured her.“Huh? How? Silas, dead? When?”Silas Grichy was a powerful general. Rieka stared at Noah in doubt.Noah answered, “According to the news, it was said that a man wearing a face cap and an eye patch killed him. Investigations about the incident are ongoing.”Rieka was gobsmacked “Is Silas Grichy dead?”“Enough of what happened last night.”Noah went to the kitchen and prepared breakfast for her.Rieka slowly drank t

    Minutes passed by and the groom was nowhere to be found.Lois covered her face in shame and cursed inwardly.‘Rieka isn’t a lucky child. Just imagine the dignitaries present at this wedding and yet the groom is not present.’‘Could it be someone is trying to humiliate my daughter?”The guests were tired and a voice rang out coldly.“Is this a scene in a movie?”Soon whispers filled the air.“We’ve been waiting for long, let’s just leave.”“The groom must have eloped.”Only the soldiers present in the hall remained calm.Just ten, they heard a blaring siren approaching.Soon, silence filled the air again.Tears were already welling in Rieka’s eyes. She bowed her head slightly in shame.A man cladded in his soldier uniform with many stars on it approached the podium and whispered to the clergyman.The man was the Grand Commander.At this point, the Grand Commander held the microphone, and happily, he said.“Today, we have two celebrations.

    Noah smiled, “Sincerely, she owns a dear place in my heart.” With a serious expression, Noah asked. “Do you think getting hitched with her again is a good idea?”Andy nodded. “Of course, she’s the only woman you’ve ever loved.”“Okay! Let’s have a quiet walk then.”Meanwhile, at the Fullams’ residence.“Can’t you talk sense to your daughter? Is this how she wants to end her life?”Lois uttered coldly as she looked at Jack.Jack tilted his head.“It is her life; her choice and I cannot influence her decision because you want me to.”Lois widened her lips and asked. “Are you serious?”Coldly, Rieka said. “Mom, I have a lot to deal with. What is all this about?”“If you wait from now till infinity, Noah will not welcome you into his life. Beauty fades, you have to give another man a chance. I’ve spoken to some rich folks and they all agreed to get married to you not minding that you are a divorcee.”After saying that, Lois angrily left.Rieka stared at the space. Thoughts of Noah grippe

    “What?”Santos expressed and gave a mocking laugh. “Who do you think you are?”Just then, he pulled out a gun and pointed it at Noah.Andy and Giddy also pulled out their guns and pointed at Santos.“I have nothing against you. I can see your greed and selfish interest is what is making you want the position of the Chief of Army staff at all cost.”Slowly, Noah approached Santos.“One more step and I’ll pull the trigger.” Santos roared.Noah sighed and he took another step. Bang!Santos pulled the trigger.Swiftly, Noah dodged it.Thank goodness no one was standing behind him.“All that happened here has been recorded. It would be used against you. You are not even worthy to be called a soldier.”Noah uttered with a frown.“Against me? We’ll see about that.”Santos said confidently.“No matter what, being soldiers, we are one,” Noah said as his eyes scanned through everyone present. For no just cause, Santos Junek wants to get rid of me. From his action, you all can see that he is n

    At that moment, Santos picked up his phone and placed a call.“Hi Santos, is anything the matter? You hardly call me.”“Jacob, I can see you know me well. We need to meet tonight, it's urgent.”Jacob was a high-ranked soldier and he was a member of the military council.All along, Jacob has been the one giving information to Santos about all that was happening because Santos handsomely rewarded him. Jacob was also a close friend of the former Chief of Army Staff.Now, he felt something was happening and he couldn’t figure it out. He had to hear from Jacob.Nevertheless, Jacob had assured him that he would become the next Chief of Army staff.Meanwhile, at the Supreme Ruler’s residence in the military base.Noah, Andy, and Giddy were standing.Noah rubbed his forehead and said, “This is more complicated than I had imagined. I don’t want to get rid of anyone but I can’t help but defend myself.”“I have a suggestion.” Giddy paused. Then he continued, “Let us visit Santos. Not to harm him

    Noah glanced at the Grand Commander. The news about who will become the next Chief of Army was yet to be announced publicly.“I have an urgent assignment to do here and it has to be kept a secret. Apart from all of us here, who witnessed my arrival, no one must know that I have returned.”Noah was led to a large room. It was the Supreme Ruler’s room in Fristico.Ever since Noah left, no one had dwelled in the room. However, the maids always kept it tidied daily.Noah freshened up and sat on the couch as he stared at the space.Knock, Knock, Knock.Some knocked on the door.Noah had already made it clear that he wanted to be left alone till he said otherwise.Who then was knocking on the door?With a frown, Noah went to open the door.Noah welcomed a man and a woman in.“You, so you had plans of coming too. Why didn’t you just say it? Did you have to make it a surprise?”Noah said with a smile beaming on his face.“I had to come along with her. We can’t just leave you. You need us mor

    “Santos Junek?” Lois replied with a smile.“I have never heard of that name before. Why will he take interest in me without approaching me for once?” Rieka said with an arched brow.Lois sighed, “It’s possible you’ve not been paying attention to other men because of Noah. He gave me his card so anytime you are ready to see him, it is just a call away. I also heard he is a military man. From the convoy I saw accompanying him, I can confidently say he is far richer than Noah. Getting hitched with him will make Noah regret ever treating you in this manner.”“Hmm!” Rieka reasoned with what Lois said. A thought of revenge crept into her heart.Why was Rieka having such thoughts? Having a relationship with someone wasn’t by force.“Give me his card, I’ll call him. I want to get some information from him.”Rieka asked politely.Lois picked a card that was on the table and handed it to Rieka.So fast, Rieka picked up her phone and called the number which was on the card.“Hi, It’s Rieka.

    Noah felt getting hitched with Rieka would complicate things further especially for her.Noah looked at Rieka and said, “I have to leave now.”With a smile filled with pretense, Rieka nodded.Noah and Andy left.At the Supreme Villa.Noah was resting when the doorbell rang.Andy answered the door.“Welcome! To what do we owe this visit.”Andy said to a man who was fully clad in a military uniform.The man walked with Andy following behind him.“Have a seat,” Noah said.The grand commander took his seat and stared at Noah.Due to his influence, the grand commander was aware of what transpired over the night.“Noah, you went on that mission without seeking my assistance.”The grand commander said with an arched brow.Noah smiled. “I did not want to disturb you, you were busy. You gave me the information I needed and that’s enough.”“That’s not the main reason why I’m here.” The grand commander cleared his throat.“Hmm, why are you here then?” Noah asked curiously.The grand commander e

    Coldly, Dex replied. “I am Dex Grichy. You murdered my father and my aunt. Do you think you will be able to escape death now? I wanted it to be so peaceful but you complicated everything by killing our men.” “A member of the Grichys family?”Noah shook his head. With an indifferent tone, Noah said, “They all deserved to die. They paid for their actions. Why didn’t you come for me directly? Why did you have to involve Rieka in all this?”Mockingly, Dex said.“Noah, you are not remorseful. Well, I’d like to see what you can do when your legs are no longer active.”Dex pulled a dagger out and raised the gun he was holding. Then he said,“Choose your death.”Noah kept quiet.“Can’t you talk? Should I decide for you?”Inwardly, Noah was devising how he was going to get rid of Dex without Rieka getting hurt.Finally, Noah spoke.“I don’t want to know why you are doing all this. However, I promise that I’ll obey you as long you don’t kill her.”Dex nodded, “I won’t hurt her. By the way, she

    After some minutes of discussion, they made their way to the entrance of the warehouse. They ensured their boots didn’t make any noise that would draw attention to them.Jenny said with a low voice. “This is the only gate that leads us in. However, there might be other access points known by the people who work here.”Clack! Clack!Soon, they heard the sounds of boots walking about. They were from the men who were watching over the warehouse.With the help of Andy, they swiftly passed through the gates without making a sound.With a low tone, Noah said. “Let’s split into two. Some will follow me to the left while others will follow Andy and Jenny to the right.”So, fast they did that.“Ahh,” one of Jenny’s squad members yelled. She had hit her leg against a stone which made her fall. She was with Noah alongside six others.“Who is that?”A voice rang out as they heard footsteps approaching in their direction.Noah quickly lifted her.Shuu!Noah gestured as he placed his hands on his
