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

    Rieka! Why are you here?”A voice came across from behind. It was Senior Fullams.He had gone out for an official assignment and just returned.Immediately, Rieka fell to her knees, with tears rolling down her cheeks pleading."Grandfather, please I'm sorry! Don't throw me out.""You, cursed child.”Senior Fullams pointed to Rieka, raining insults on her. He was furious, because of her the Fullams would have been destroyed. Her presence annoyed him further.Pointing to the gate, he roared. “Rieka, you are no longer part of the Fullams. Leave! Do not return to this place, ever! You disgust me!”Rieka was shocked!Senior Fullams’ words were a shock to her. She placed her head on the ground and cried profusely. “Please show mercy! You've always loved me and had my back when others don't. Please…”Beholding Rieka in that position, Noah's heart broke. He grabbed Rieka, pulling her up into his hug.He said, “Calm down! Everything would be fine. Grandfather will also come around!”“I don't t

    Noah had no choice but to be happy since Rieka was happy about going home.All Noah did was smile. They held their hands and returned to the Supreme Villa to get their suitcase.“I can't wait to be home!” Rieka said countlessly.Since Rieka assured Gad that she'd be home soon, he waited outside the gate to welcome her.Tom and Kendra stood outside with him.There, Kendra lamented. “Why is Rieka returning home suddenly? Is grandfather sure about this decision? With all the pain she caused us, is she truly welcomed here?Tom seconded.“After all the trouble she's got us into, she is returning home? Who is Rieka to Brucy Kings? It seems the rumor spreading like wildfire is true.”“What rumor?” Gad asked“Rieka and Brucy Kings are lovers!” Tom and Kendra chorused.“All of that doesn't matter to me. Rieka has to come back home so all our deals and shares with Top Notch Group will remain intact. The estimated profit from just this deal is over twenty million. So Rieka is our savior now!” Ga

    At the Fullams Senior Fullams saw Gad alongside Tom and Kendra but Rieka was missing. His expression darkened. “You said Rieka would be home soon! Why is she not here yet?” He shouted. Kendra fidgeted, folding her arms. “Father Rieka came around as she said but she stopped at the gate. She gave conditions before she could return home. The sum of five hundred thousand should be transferred to Jack, also a public announcement apologizing to Rieka for the way we treated her.” Quickly, Tom added. “Grandfather, Rieka is so proud now!” Senior Grichy's expression darkened. “Who does she think she is?” He was angry. “Rieka doesn't accord me any respect. She now sees herself like a mini-god because she knows Brucy Kings!” Kendra explained further how Noah instigated Rieka to place such demands. She told Senior Grichy how he disrespected the family with no sign of remorse. Honestly, they never wanted her to return home! Rieka's error was on the verge of ending their lives. But

    Is this a joke? Five hundred thousand and a public apology?”Lois was not aware of all that transpired between the Fullams and Top Notch Group. She had spent most of the day shopping at the market. She was shocked at everything Rieka said. “It's not a joke! Father gave the order and I ensured everything was carried out.” Gad said.“This is good news!” Lois cheered.Immediately, Lois called Jack to return home so she could confirm the evidence of the transaction from him. Getting to know what led to the credit alert he got, he was amazed.“Rieka,” he said. “How did this happen?”Rieka smiled. “It's not time for stories but grandfather gave his approval. I'm back home too!”“This has never happened before! I am glad!”Jack cheered“Why are you glad?” Lois snapped. “You've not provided anything in this house for a day. For getting the sum of five hundred thousand, you are elated. Are you for real? It's a good thing that because of Rieka the family has remembered you but what can that mon

    “Are you playing dumb?” Camily yelled.Rieka didn't know how she could manage the nuisance Camily was constituting. It didn't speak well to potential customers.She stood speechless, gazing at Camily.“It's about Brucy Kings. You are not among the caliber of ladies he deals with.”“The pathetic thing is you are married to a wretched man and still flirting. I've heard you both are lovers, stay away from Brucy at all costs! He belongs to me!”Rieka became furious and her expression darkened.“How dare you accuse me of such? What did I ever do to you that warrants this embarrassment?” Rieka yelled.“You are such a pretender,” Camily said as she slapped Rieka.“What?” Rieka's colleagues were left in shock at what just happened.Rieka held her cheeks in pain as tears welled in her eyes.“Enough ma'am! You can't embarrass a staff member for no justified reason.” Deril walked up to them.Rieka bowed her head in shame, avoiding the gaze of her colleagues.“And who are you?”“I won't leave til

    In the chairman's office. He rested his back on his executive chair, pondering on what happened earlier.He had been expecting a member of the Swelvys family to call him for a better explanation.He wasn't scared of them but he knew Camily was capable of exaggerating the whole thing. She could sue the company in court and ask the company to pay for damages.She was such a spoiled child.He was aware that as young as Camily was she was interested in him despite the age difference definitely because of his wealth.If only she knew who Rieka's husband was, her entire lineage would worship at his feet. His thoughts were diverted when someone walked in.It was Noah.Rieka wasn't aware that Noah hadn't gone home. He had been waiting for her to be engrossed with work while he used the back route to the chairman's office.Fidgeting, he said. “Supreme Ruler! I am sorry for what happened earlier.”Noah didn't reply. He sat opposite Brucy.After watching the way most of Rieka's colleagues mocke

    Today, the management of Top Notch Group organized a guest-together event for the staff members and shareholders at Pavilion Center.Each staff member had the opportunity to come along with one person. And Rieka went along with Noah.Everyone was seated and paid attention to the various speeches about the administration's achievements in the last two years.It was time for everyone to move and interact with each other.Ussy was about to say something when Kendra interrupted him.“Oh, look who we have here! Fullam's miserable son-in-law. All he is enjoying now is because of Rieka. He is not fit to be present at such an occasion.Kendra had access to the event because of Ussy Swelvys, her fiance and he also has some shares in the company.However, Noah paid deaf ears to her while Rieka was engrossed in scrolling through her phone.“Pretend like they are not here, let's enjoy the moment, Kendra,” Ussy advised.“The company has recorded a high percentage of profit.”“I must commend the st

    Since Noah could afford it, what would have stopped Elias from doing the same? Elias settled the bills for the entrance ticket and now they were all in the VVIP section. In the long run, the ticket f*e was worth it because of the luxury and expensive things in the section. The VVIP section was a sweet haven, no wonder it had lots of restrictions. “Wow!” Kendra couldn't hide her love for the beautiful environment. Kendra was busy taking pictures that she would post on her social media handles when she noticed a gigantic aquarium. Just a few individuals were seen sitting around it. The aquarium gave that side an ambiance as though they were having a nice time on a ship. Words wouldn't do justice to the beauty! “Let's check what's over there,” Kendra said. She couldn't take her eyes off the first-class treatment the people there were getting. “Alright! This arena is bigger than I ever imagined!” Ussy said as he looked at Elias. “This is unbelievable! Elias, is that not Noah and

    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. Permit me to welcome the new Chief of Army Staf

    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
