Day after day passes and there is no sign that Tom will kill Selena soon. Every moment Tom is harassing Selena who is confined to one of the secret rooms that is one of Tom's headquarters which is also connected to the prison through an underground tunnel.Tom hopes that Selena will lose hope and die a slow death. However, Selena is used to all the insults and violence. She was able to trick one of Tom's men in charge of guarding her and escape from the place. Tom, who was in his room, immediately kicked his desk. That woman dared to get into trouble with him. He had been kind enough to let her live. But she used it to escape. Just watch, he was going to make that blue-eyed woman regret it. He would use her body and once he got bored, he would hang her to death. The man ruffled his hair, then he grabbed a cigar which he lit. He took multiple puffs of the cigar and exhaled the smoke that billowed out in one piece for a while before it dissipated into the air."As soon as you find that
The day before the news spread about the affair that dragged Noah's name and a photographer named Kevin, Noah was out of town to do a photo shoot and shoot an advertisement for one of the brands for which she was a brand ambassador. She was there with other brand ambassadors from several countries. After all the events were over, they planned to have a party at a bar that had been rented by the brand.At that time, Noah was still in her hotel room and was having a video call with William. "Yes, I'll be home tomorrow morning," Noah said, staring at the screen of her cell phone which showed William's face sitting on his bed with Micah who looked sound asleep beside him."I miss you so much already. I feel like flying there and hugging you," William replies. "I miss you and Micah too. I can't wait to get home. But, I will hug you as much as I can tomorrow.""A hug won't be enough," William says, then winks at Noah. Noah chuckled softly. "Of course, I know that one too. We'll do it unt
William stood by the swimming pool, staring ahead. The city of New Eden seemed to be displayed like a painting in front of him. The location of William's mansion on the hills allowed him to enjoy the beautiful view just by standing on the second floor of his house. He usually liked the view, but right now he was thinking about something else, his wife. Although William still intended to take care of Micah, he decided not to do it anymore because he wanted to calm down. He actually doubted the truth of the news about Noah's affair. He knew his wife well and was sure that she was not a traitorous woman like Selena. However, he couldn't deny that his bad experiences in the past made him a little doubtful.The news was reported by Gregori early in the morning. At that very moment, William called the personal bodyguard he had secretly hired to guard Noah to immediately guard Noah from the rush of reporters. "Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith has just arrived. She's looking for you. Would you like to
Two women were seen on screen attending a press conference accompanied by their respective lawyers and the New Eden police. One of the women was Jessica, one of the models who was also at the party that night and was the person who took the pictures of Noah and Kevin. While the other, stocky woman was Alessia, the owner of the gossip account that first spread the news. The two of them are interconnected because Jessica sent the photo to Alessia."I, Jessica Bernadio, apologize profusely to Noah Smith for distributing photos without her permission and spreading false news that caused Noah Smith to suffer losses. I am ready to take responsibility for my mistake.""I, Alessia Cassan, owner of the @GowwSipp account, apologize to Noah Smith and all parties harmed in this case. I acknowledge that I have forwarded news that I did not double-check the truth, so I am guilty of spreading false news. I believed the source of the news because I thought she had actually seen it and had valid evid
[Your points to date total 890,025 points][You are getting closer to the Hero level]William listened carefully to the daily report from the system. He raised one eyebrow, trying to think of a way to increase the number of points significantly so that his level could rise. He was pursuing to climb the highest level which was superhuman, that way, he would become a superior human."Did you talk to your agency?" William asked Noah who had just finished changing.Noah nodded. "Yes, but I can't cancel the contract with the brand.""So what? Your agency should understand that a worker's mental health is more important than a contract. I've already said that I'll pay the fine no matter how much it is.""It's not really about the amount of the fine, whether you can afford it or not, darling. As a business owner, you certainly value the integrity and responsibility of your workers. I can't possibly use this incident as an excuse to let go of the contract that was agreed upon long ago." Noah
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
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,
