Soon, Noah and Rieka arrived home. Noticing the door knob was not locked, they walked in. Seeing Lois, Rieka couldn't hide her excitement. Lois looked surprised and wondered what would have made Rieka so happy. “We just got an invitation from the chairman of Horizon to attend the opening of her new eatery!” Lois widened her eyes, in a quest to know if she heard her well. “You mean from the prominent, Aria Willy?” “Yes, Mom! I was also shocked beyond words.” “Hmm! She invited you? But I once heard some people say she was too proud because of her achievement at a young age.” “She is an A-class customer of Top Notch Group. I think we got the invitation because I had worked on her file before.” Noah said. “There is something about her though. Why don't you confirm from your colleagues at work if they were also invited.” Happily, Rieka picked up her phone and called. “Hi, just wanted to know if you also got invited by the chairman of Horizon for the opening of her eatery?” “Yea
“Hmm…”“Get your plans and budget ready. It will help curtail your expenses and focus on the project you've planned for. This will help so you don't spend recklessly. As for how wealthy the Supreme Ruler is, I don't care about it at all. No one's comparable to my husband.” Rieka blinked her eyes at Noah.Noah smiled. “Rieka, I'll do as you say.”There were still many problems and hidden dangers that had not been resolved. Telling her his identity would only bring her panic, and he would rather she knew nothing now. In a tiny voice, she whispered to Noah. “This must be our little secret. No one else must know about the money you are expecting. Not even a member of the Fullams family. They are more concerned about fame and luxury.” “This discussion has drained a lot from me. I want to eat.” She hit Noah's head lightly. “Sorry! We'll get to the restaurant soon.” “I know you are so fragile.” he teased “Huh! I am very strong.” Rieka laughed Soon, they arrived at a restaurant. It
Rieka's expression tightened, Aria didn't have to look down on Noah.“He is not a miserable live-in son-in-law.”“I'll appreciate it if we don't overstep our boundaries.”“Alright!” Aria smiled.“But it's the truth. He has nothing but relies on you and your family for everything…”“We've never complained about Noah to anyone. Everyone should mind his or her business. If you keep talking about my personal life, I'll be forced to excuse you.” Rieka made it clear.“I never meant it that way. Calm down.” Aria apologized. It would be hard for Rieka to accept other people's views about Noah because she loves him.Noah just returned from the restroom.“Noah… You stayed along.” Rieka said.He smiled and patted her cheek lightly.“Are you done eating?”“Yes!”Rieka nodded.There was more food left but Rieka was satisfied with the little she had eaten.“Everything on this table would cost a lot of dollars.”Despite Aria's offer to pay the bills, Rieka was still concerned. She was worried that
After disclosing the information to Noah, they all made their way to Cynthia's abode. In less than thirty minutes, Andy had booked an appointment with Delph Net. “Noah, we'll meet with Delph later tonight at the Underground Club.” Noah nodded, “Noted.” “Should we prepare for a battle? Will lives be lost tonight?” “I can't decide now. It's dependent on Delph's cooperation with us. Mind you, be always prepared for a battle!” Noah gazed at Andy. Andy replied, “That's correct! One must always be prepared to fight. While they talked, suddenly Noah asked. “Where is Cynthia?” “She should be in the kitchen or her bedroom.” “Okay!” Just then, Cynthia walked in. She muttered. “I've prepared some toasted bread. Do you care to have some?” Afterward, she lowered her head. She didn't know if she was worthy that a powerful man would wine and dine in her little house. Andy giggled and said. “We'll have some, thank you!” “It's my pleasure!” She bowed respectfully. Cynt
CHAPTER 54Immediately, a man approached and placed a pistol against Noah's head.Noah was indifferent.Delph spoke.“Who do you think you are? And what if I played a fast one on you, what can you do?”Just then, the man who held a pistol against Noah's head groaned in pain.Noah had just kicked him in between his thighs.He felt so weak that he dropped his pistol.Quickly, Noah picked up the pistol on the ground and shot the man's leg, with his eyes still fixed on the screen.Delph was left speechless.Despite the numerous men pointing their pistols at Noah, he did not give a damn.Standing up furiously, Delph spoke. “What have you done?”Then he added, “I can't give you the information you seek and mind you there's no refund.”Noah's laughter echoed all over the room.“If you dare me, in the next twenty minutes, a place like this would not exist.”Noah fiddled with the pistol with a mischievous grin on his face. “I'll advise you to appear before me at the count of three or else…”De
While Andy drove them back home, the only sound heard was the screeching tires. “Andy!” Noah's voice disturbed the silence. “Sir!” “To Cynthia's abode. I'll pick up my scooter and head to Rieka's. I'm sure she must have been worried.” “Alright!” Andy nodded. Soon, they arrived at Cynthia's. Noah hopped on his scooter. “Goodnight!” Andy said. “Thanks!” Starting the scooter, Noah said. “We have to find the mastermind behind the destruction of my family. Gather information about the so-called influential men.” “Alright.” Noah drove off. Moving at a high speed, Noah sighed. He wished he hadn't killed Silas. Silas was the only one who could provide answers to the questions running in his mind. At the Fullams Ten o’clock at night Rieka and Aria spent a long time together having fun earlier. Aria insisted on gifting her the dress so Rieka did not have to pay. However, Rieka said she'd only accept it if she allowed her to pay half of what the dress cost
“No Mom! I just paid half of the cost of the dress. The purse and the shoes were my last birthday gifts.” “Really?” Lois was surprised. “I've seen this gown on the TV when one luxurious boutique was advertising their latest collection.” “This gown cost about a million dollars.” Rieka widened her eyes. “I don't know the cost. I got it from the chairman of Horizon's boutique, Aria Willy. She even insisted on giving me as a gift but I just paid a little token.” Earlier, Rieka had explained all that happened to Noah. She never expected that the dress would be that expensive. “Wow! She gifted you a very expensive outfit.” Said Lois. Just then, Noah returned with the car key. Lois threw a disdainful gaze at him. Now she felt her daughter deserved someone better. With Rieka's current status and her little business connection, Lois felt Rieka needed a more presentable man. Lois sat beside Rieka, wrapping her hands around her shoulder, and whispered. “Rieka! You have to grab thi
“Yes. Soon Noah would be behind bars with no one to help him out. When his superior returns, he'll gnash his teeth in regrets and pain. “Ahh?” Rieka was scared. Her eyes darted between Aria and Noah. ‘Which superior was he referring to?’ ‘Noah behind bars!’ ‘What a joke?’ ‘'Did you also hide the truth from Rieka? That you'll get arrested anytime? Rieka deserves better. Divorce her now so she can move on with a better and more responsible man.” “Dear, how do we go about this? What is he even talking about?” Rieka was nervous. “I promise, it has nothing to do with you. And if such happens be rest assured I'll support and accept whatever decision you take next. “Enough! Let's enjoy the moment.” Aria walked forward with Rieka, Noah, and Joel following her. After the count of three, Aria cut the balloon at the entrance of her new eatery and they all clapped. When they walked into the eatery, it was a very large place. Its decorations made the atmosphere very conducive and we
