The lights on the stage had come up and the opening act from one of the fashion houses had performed. Noah was being groomed and had already put on the first outfit she was going to wear."Okay, everyone ready? It's Beaucoup Mers' turn to perform."Noah looked at her reflection and felt that there was nothing else that needed to be done. She was wearing a brightly colored flowery spring theme outfit. It was low-cut and backless. She stood at the back of the stage, ready to start walking if her brand was called."With the theme of flowers and nature, here comes Beaucoup Mers with its latest spring collection."Hearing this, Noah quickly climbed onto the stage and started walking with graceful and charming steps. Noah is by far the model with the most beautiful walk on the catwalk. Her expressions and mannerisms are always just right when presenting any kind of outfit, so her aura is always the most prominent. In addition, her high popularity makes every outfit attractive and highly mar
"Sir, I've investigated the Monroe family. Everything looks normal, but there is one thing that is a little suspicious. There is an account at Solon Bank in Thomas Monroe's name that was created only after Thomas Monroe was imprisoned.Bank Solon is a bank where every customer's financial secrets are maintained. Money misappropriated by the country's elite was usually deposited there because the bank guaranteed its safety. Even the World Union has no authority to regulate them."Gregori explained all the reports he had found while investigating the Monroe family. William who was sitting on the sofa just listened carefully. He had already decided to save Selena. He felt that the case was not an ordinary revenge. He had a hunch that Tom was hiding something big.Just imagine, Tom had the power that allowed him to have access to the prison because it was directly connected to his property. And looking at its reach or breadth and depth, it's clear that the tunnel has been in the works for
Tom groaned at the news that his base connected to the prison had been raided. He kicked all the objects in his room, destroying them one by one. He could still remember William's mocking face clearly. I don't know how good a spy William is, to be able to know a place that should be very safe. In fact, he deliberately kept Selena there so that no one could find her. However, who would have thought that William could track the place down."Damn it!" shouted Tom.Two men wearing prison guard uniforms entered Tom's room without any prior notice. Seeing this, Tom, who felt disrespected, immediately became angry."Do you know who I am? How dare ordinary officers like you enter my room unannounced! Oh, you're the new prison guards here, right? Didn't your seniors tell you my position as a VVIP here?"The two guards stared at each other for a moment, before they unceremoniously grabbed Tom by each arm."What the hell is this? You want me dead? Let me go now before you lose your jobs!""Sorry
The female pest control officer who was assigned by William to search for the basement had already found the location of the tunnel connecting the door. In addition to this task, she also received orders from Gregori to immediately shout hysterically for the police outside the house to come in."Ahhh!!! Help!!!" shouted Monika, the pest control officer.One of Tom's men came up to Monika. "What are you doing here? This is a place you shouldn't be in. And why are you screaming like crazy?"Monica feigned fear. "I saw a woman come out from below. I don't know who she was, but it looked like she was injured.""There is no such woman here! Get out of here!" the man snapped.Monika shook her head. "I'm not lying, sir. I saw it with my own eyes. Is there a ghost in this house?""Don't talk nonsense! Your job is just to take care of the pests in this house.""Fine if you say so," said Monika who immediately turned around with a big smile because the man had walked into her trap.Earlier Moni
Noah was playing with Micah when William came over to her. However, Noah's brow furrowed after she saw William who wasn't as bright as usual. She could see his droopy eyes and rather messy clothes. In fact, the man always had a smile on his face and his suit was always neat even though he had just come home from work.Micah, who was sitting on the floor playing soccer, immediately tried to stand up. His two little legs seemed to lift heavily in turn, stepping slowly towards William. The baby's smile widened to show his four upper teeth and two three lower teeth. His arms were stretched out as if he was ready to hug William."Da-da, Da-da," said Micah who called William happily.William forced a smile and immediately lifted Micah who was already in front of him. He lifted his son higher than his own head, then spun around making Micah giggle with pleasure."Honey, he just ate, he'll throw up," Noah warned.William lowered Micah back down. "Alright," he said.Seeing that William was not
Tom's hands were handcuffed and tied to one corner of the table. He could not escape from the room at all. There he would be interrogated by the investigators. However, before that he was given the opportunity to meet with his lawyer. She growled angrily at William's words that made her have to undergo detention. He could not stay in a luxurious room and enjoy the VIP facilities at the prison. Overnight he slept in a cramped room with no mattress that was only 6 meters wide by two meters wide and 3 meters long. The room had a toilet for Tom to relieve himself and it smelled so bad that he could hardly breathe because of the stench."You see, I've run out of patience. I'll make sure to kill you and everyone near you," Tom hissed.Not long after, the door to the room opened. Tom turned around and saw that a police officer had entered with a man wearing a gray suit whom he didn't recognize at all."Your lawyer is here. You can talk for ten minutes, no more than that." The police officer
"Today you have an appointment with WBO members this afternoon to play golf together. I've already contacted the organizers of the event and told them that you'll be late because you have some urgent work to complete first," Gregori explained."Good, I don't really like being in the same place with those boring people," William replied.AWBI or Association of World Businessman and Investors is an organization where the biggest businessmen in the world gather. They are people whose wealth is far more than even the richest country. Basically, they are among the world's elite, but are not included in the list of the world's ten richest people because they guard their assets very carefully. Most of them are in the world banking, oil and mineral mining, and arms businesses. However, they are all investors in different types of companies in the world. For example, William, who owns shares in almost all star hotels around the world, has also expanded into the world of property.William left h
The meeting was attended by five core members of the association, where the total number of core members was fifteen. However, there were only four core members in Solberg, while Mr. Perry, who arranged the meeting, happened to be in New Eden on a business trip, as well as to discuss a major business matter to be undertaken by their association. In addition to the five core members, one of Solberg's influential politicians was also present, the minister of economy and investment, Benedict Reagen."I have received a report on the soil content in the Bornberg area. There are already several proposals submitted to manage and open a mine there. However, the licenses for them have not yet been issued. I have heard from Mr. President that AWBI has the intention to open a mine there." Mr. Reagen explained as he began to discuss their business plan."The nickel content in the Bornberg mountains is very high, I'm sure there are many who can manage the place, but I'm not sure anyone can give you
After the vacation at the castle ended, William brought Noah and Micah back to stay at the mansion. Upon returning from there, Noah felt that all her memories were impossible. She felt that she had never met William before. So she just felt that the memories were fake. Although in her mind, Noah already felt comfortable with William. He was very warm and responsible. Even Noah was always cared for without being restrained. Noah, who had resumed her activities as a model, began to occupy herself with her world. She didn't want to get lost in her uncertain feelings. She was happy to see Micah actively playing and occasionally missed William when he was out of town on business. However, Noah tries to suppress her feelings. Being a model and brand ambassador gave her a little distraction from her feelings.A hundred days had passed, but Noah decided not to accept William, even though she was secretly in love with the man. She just didn't want to become William's past. Even though William
Noah continued to think about William's offer after returning to her hotel. She felt that William's story didn't make sense. How could he die and come back to life in the same body. However, when she said goodbye earlier, Micah cried to keep her from leaving. At that moment, Noah's heart was touched and she was a little convinced. "Is it true what William said?" Noah was confused alone in her hotel room. Not long after, her cell phone rang and it was a call from the agency. Noah lazily answered the call. The voice on the other end was shouting and wanted Noah to come back from her vacation quickly. "Hurry back and work again Noah! I allowed you only two days of vacation, but it's been more than two days!""I'm just exercising my right," Noah said."Don't mess with me, Noah. Who would you be if it wasn't for the agency that raised you? You think you can make it to the top of popularity like this on your own!"Noah hung up and threw the phone away. She began to rethink William's offer
Noah has been having nightmares again, lately if she has a lot of thoughts or is too tired she always has nightmares. Noah often wakes up in the middle of the night because of her dreams. A murder against her. Noah was always frightened and couldn't sleep anymore if she just had the dream. Noah would spend her time waiting for the morning by opening her bedroom window and looking at the view of the city with the flickering lights decorating it.Noah actually wanted to go to the doctor to consult her dreams, but she didn't have much time. Her manager was always giving her endless work. She was like a cash cow for the agency, but she still couldn't rebel. She doesn't have enough courage to rebel. Because it was the agency that made her the super model she is today. Returning the favor is like a mantra that binds Noah to her agency.The cell phone rang from the nightstand, Noah glanced at the flat object and just let it flicker. She didn't move from the side
"I'm sorry I took up your time," Noah said as she faced William."No problem. I don't have any work today. Just checking the employees' work.""That's good, so I don't feel too guilty.""Never mind. Whenever you need me, just call. I'll come," William said.Noah nodded, she flashed her sweet smile and William responded in kind. They talked about many things, not about work or personalities but about general things that happened. Noah didn't talk about the incident in the park, nor her problem with Mr. Samael who asked her to be the lead in the movie that the producer was going to work on.William told her more about the tourist destinations he knew. All the places William mentioned were places he had been to with Noah. He wanted to know the reaction of the woman in front of him when he heard about those beautiful places. However, Noah just didn't move. She just listened as William told the story, her face was flat. "Have you bee
"Aaargh! Let go! Please don't hurt me!" Noah begged while continuing to curl up in pain. Her legs and hands were tied and the man, whose face was unclear, approached her with a crowbar. Noah struggled with a pleading look in her eyes, shaking her head and asking the man in front of her not to hit her. Unfortunately, the crowbar flew at Noah's head. The woman let out a long scream. Noah was breathing heavily, she was in her own room. Her head felt dizzy with her heart racing. Noah looked around, it was her room then she grabbed the glass of water on the nightstand. She gulped it down, the dream just now really drained her strength. She took a deep breath to normalize her heartbeat."It was just a dream," Noah muttered. She rubbed her face lightly, sweat soaking her face and body. Even though the air conditioning was at its maximum, Noah was still sweating. She looked at the clock on the wall, it was already 4am. She went to the window and opened the curtains. There was a marvelous vi
Noah's screams made William immediately run to the set. Flames were splashing from one of the flash lights mounted in the corner. He saw Noah look down in fear as the flames from the lamp almost hit her. William hurriedly took off his suit and covered Noah's head with it. He then carried Noah out of the room. Noah was almost killed if William didn't move quickly. Mr. Ramos approached the two and apologized for Noah's accident. The woman was still in shock and just nodded. Then Mr. Ramos excused himself to see the condition of the filming site. William took Noah away and sat her on the sofa he had been sitting on with Mr. Ramos. He saw Noah's face pale, the woman in front of him was really scared."Are you okay?" asked William."I'm very scared," Noah said."Calm down. It was just an accident, now you're safe, Noah.""Thank you, Will. I don't know what would have happened to me without you.""No problem. I also had a meeting with Mr. Ramos earlier. So I came here," William lied a litt
Noah tipped her hat as the wind picked up. Her flowing hair was a little messy because she had long hair. Not all of her hair was covered by the hat, making it difficult for Noah. She held her hat and hair with both hands. Her gaze lowered, not knowing that someone was nearby. Noah was surprised when the person cleared his throat, scaring her. She was about to move from her seat but someone sitting not far from her pulled out a pocket knife from his pocket, Noah widened her eyes and shook her head slowly."Where are you going, Miss?" The person played with the switchblade in front of Noah. The woman looked around the park, it was quiet. She didn't realize that twilight had passed and turned dim. The park was deserted, there were probably a few people still in the park. Mostly lovers who were busy with their own intimacy. The distance between Noah and the couple was also quite far. Maybe if she screamed, people would ignore her. People would think that Noah was fighting with her boyfri
"Good morning," greeted William as he approached Noah. He was taking a walk in the park. Little did he know that Noah was already there promoting the new summer edition of the drink. She was doing a photo shoot for this season's cooking magazine. William smiled, while a look of surprise was evident on Noah's face."Hi, why are you here?" Noah asked."Looking for some fresh air," William said."Heem, it's fresh here in the morning. I deliberately chose the morning time when I was offered a photo shoot for this summer drink.""Yes. I like the morning atmosphere here too. The sun is brighter this summer.""You're right," Noah agreed. They engaged in small talk that morning. William deliberately waited for Noah to finish the photo shoot. Then they went for a walk not far from the park. A classic coffee shop with a European feel became their choice to chat. Noah deliberately chose a seat close to the window. From her place, she could see the yellowing maple leaves. The streets were also st
Noah, who got a lot of surprises that day, found out that it was all from William. She wanted to return a set of jewelry that William had given her, but her manager forbade it. After Noah thought about it, it was better for her to keep the jewelry to appreciate William. After all, William was not like those businessmen who liked to look down on models like her."Great performance," William said, clapping his hands as he met Noah in her office."Thank you. You're not home yet?" Noah asked conversationally."Waiting for you. How about I drop you off?" William offered. However, Noah politely declined. She said she would go to her agency's office first before going home. A disappointed William excused himself, a look of sadness and disappointment on his face and in his eyes. This made Noah feel guilty. However, she also didn't want to give William hope. Her heart is still closed to William.The man with thick eyebrows and blue eyes drove his car to his mansion. He had done a lot for Noah,
