CHAPTER 173“I came to the hospital for my monthly checkup. I saw you when you and your friend entered this office. I don't mean any harm.”Tamar uttered with a bright smile.She was glad to see Noah.Getting to know Noah's real identity made her regret her actions. She mistook him for someone else.Ever since then, she had promised to always make Noah happy.Noah glanced at her and smoked his cigarette.Seeing Noah's indifferent expression, Tamar spoke.“If you are still upset with me, it's justified. Just give me a chance to make it up.”“What exactly do you want?”Noah asked with his voice etched with stress.“Noah…”Tamar said calmly but paused suddenly and glanced at Andy.Andy cleared his throat. “I'll be waiting outside.”Tamar sat beside Noah and spoke gently. “I heard you and Rieka are now divorced. However, I know she has a dear place in your heart and you are currently worried about her health.”Noah arched his brow and thought. 'Is it obvious in my expression that I am wor
At the same time in the Supreme Villa.Noah woke up from sleep.He picked up his phone.Seeing the numerous calls from Rieka he whistled. Next, he checked his notification. He read the message Rieka sent.Reluctantly, Noah called her back.“Hi, Rieka. I got your message and missed your calls. I was asleep then.”Rieka sounded happy on the other side of the phone. “It's okay since you are fine.”“You said you have a lot to discuss with me. In the next two hours, I'll send Andy to pick you up.”Noah hung up.Meanwhile at the Fullams.“Rieka, you are not strong enough to leave the house alone.”Lois warned.“He is sending someone to pick me up. It's not that I'm moving in with him finally. I just need to talk to Noah.”Rieka said meekly.“I hope you won't regret marrying Noah again. I will advise that you reconsider your decision.”“Mom! Not again, there's absolutely nothing to reconsider.”After saying that, Rieka headed to her room and got dressed.Quickly two hours had passed.Andy ha
Lois cleared her throat.Then she said, “Please let Noah be. Don't get hitched with him. There are able men out there who are wealthy and all their body parts are functional.”“Mom,” Rieka yelled.“You promised not to get offended,” Lois said with an arched brow.Rieka left the house for an official assignment.At the same time, in a villa.Two men who were smoking cigarettes sat opposite each other.It was Dex and Zibky.Dex said, “There must be a way that we can get rid of him. The fact he is alive makes me scared.”“Getting rid of him won’t be easy but there’s someone he cherishes a lot. We can use her to get him.” Zibky spoke.Coldly, Dex asked. “Who is that?”Zibky replied. “She is Rieka by name. Although there has been news about their divorce flying all over the place. But my men confirmed that they saw them together recently. They might be divorced but there is still a connection between them.”“Divorce?” Dex whispered. Then he spoke loudly. “I never knew he was married. We h
Noah hung up before Lois could complete her statement. Next, he called the Grand Commander. Almost immediately, the Grand Commander answered the call.“Hello Noah, I’m busy now. Can we talk later?”“Sorry to disturb you. I haven’t been able to reach Rieka, I have a feeling that something is bad. Can you help me to track her location using the military’s network?”“Alright, I’ll do that now. Give me five minutes.”After the call, the Grand Commander instructed some experts to locate Rieka’s whereabouts.Tracking her phone and her movement for the day, they discovered that she was kidnapped outside a store.Noah on the other hand was restless as several thoughts flooded his mind about what might have happened to Rieka. Just then, the Grand Commander called him back.Curiously, Noah asked. “Were you able to locate her?”“Calm down Noah. From the coverage at our end, it was discovered that a lady was kidnapped a few hours ago. From indications, that lady was Rieka. Unfortunately, the v
Noah got out of the car.With Andy helping him, he sat in his wheelchair.Soon, they all headed towards a warehouse.Inside the warehouse…In the store, a lady was blindfolded.She was sweating profusely with tears welling in her eyes.Rieka was tied to a chair.Only her sobs filled the air.Soon, Rieka heard footsteps approaching.With a sorrowful tone, she asked. “Who is there? Please help me.”“Remove the blindfold.”A manly voice ordered.“Alright.”After the blindfold was removed, Rieka saw a handsome man wearing a black shirt.The man was Dex Grichy. He was smoking tobacco. Slowly, he sat on a chair and stared at her.With smoke coming out of his nose, he said.“Look what they did to you. Can’t they respect the fact that you are this beautiful? I must confess, I’ve never seen a lady as beautiful as you are.”Rieka was irritated and the smoke from the tobacco kept choking her.Dex asked, “Tell me any of Noah’s secrets that you know.”With a shaky voice, Rieka said. “I don’t und
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
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
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
