Five years ago:Eva's POV:"How long have you been waiting for me?" I asked Noah as I kept my bag down."Two hours may be. I didn’t keep track of time after the first hour passed." Noah replied shutting his laptop."Two hours? Noah I'm so sorry, I couldn’t leave earlier, you know as an intern-""You have a lot going on, I know. And as I said it was nothing. I brought my laptop with me, so my time wasn’t wasted. Don't worry.""But still, you could've just gone home, and we could've met there.""Look, you are really busy these days and it has been so long since we went on a date. Most importantly, it's our anniversary today. So, relax. I can wait a thousand years for you. 2 hours got nothing on that." Saying that he intertwined his fingers with mine."God, you are so cheesy." I said, but the twinkles in his eyes and his physical proximity gave me warmth, leaving me longing for more.****PresentI was waiting in the hotel's lobby, the one where Noah was currently staying, for 30 minutes

Noah's POV:It was interesting to watch her squirm under my touch, exciting even. I was determined to the condition to beg for more. But that can wait and I'll have that on my time. Because now was the time to make her work with me and knowing her, she wouldn't take any risk to put her career in danger and that also gave me the way to figure out that her marriage wasn't so happy after all."Okay, relax I will try to be as professional as possible.. Or not." Her face went relaxed to panic in a second as I said that which made me double over, "Ah, that look in your face was worthwhile to watch.""It was not funny at all, Noah." She seethed in anger."But it is fun to rile you up though. Anyway, I'll be almost always gone and the time when I'm here, I'll be mostly busy with photoshoots and interviews. So you won't even see me much, you have nothing to worry about." I comforted her.A knock interrupted our conversation as Michel walked in upon permission. "Mrs, Angelos, Mr. Martinez you a

Six Years agoNoah's POV:"Ah, stop that." A giggling Eva requested me as I tickled away. She was always sensitive to tickles, so over time it became my weapon against her."Not until you apologize for mixing blue color with my body wash.""Okay, please I can't breath." she huffed as I got scared if something would happen to her and stopped.She stood up from my lap, took a deep breath and said, "Well thought you will look good as Elmo." With that she made a run for the door before I could process and grab her.I smiled as I saw her running to the stairs while wearing just her pj, deciding not to chase after her as I knew very well she won't go too far, she was too concerned about her appearance to do so.True to my word she came back in 5 minutes while tiptoeing around to not let me know that she is back. I humored her as I was busy with the research I was doing on a rural place of south Asia.An hour passed by when I heard sound of footsteps approaching me and I didn’t have to turn

Four Years AgoNoah's POV:Hearing the bell going off, I stood up from my chair as my back made a cracking sound. I did not even realize for how long I was sitting in front of my desktop. As I checked who it was, it turned out to be Eva, my girlfriend of five years. Opening the door, I welcomed her in the apartment we share together and she stared at me with a face which said she could murder a person right here out of rage. What got her in a knot today!!"For how much longer will you chase after this dream of yours?" That was the first thing Eva said as she placed her bag on the recliner."Eva-""Aren't you going to try for a job?" She asked impatiently."Not like you don't know what I want to do with my life? You came in my life knowing that, why are you making it an issue now?""The issue is that there is a limit to everything. Look around, everyone you know, got a job, hell your best friend is going to propose his girlfriend next month, with a diamond ring at that. And you are sti

A meeting has been going for hours which included almost all the board members of Icarus Airlines and the issue was its struggle to keep up with the market. No matter the numbers of facilities they were providing their passengers, their shares were dropping and the big shots were yet to come up with a solution which can stop their ship from sinking.As she was also a board member thanks to her husband, Eva had already given them several ideas, and the one who strongly denied them was none other than her husband, Sebastian Angelos, the chairman of Icarus Airlines. "May I suggest something?" The ever so polite Michel spoke up in a sweet angelic voice, and the quick look of admiration from Sebastian didn’t go unnoticed by Eva."You may."

Pearl's POV:"So, when are you going to agree to the divorce?"There I said the words I was agitating over. The decision wasn't made in a hurry, I thought over and over again, if I could just let everything go and give him a chance. Believe I tried my best but I could not, not when I knew everything would become really toxic, if I do that as I can never actually get over this and never feel the love if should have between us as a couple. So why should I stretch a relation like that when I could already assume what was going to so obviously happen in the future?Yes, forgiveness comes from the greater person, but I never want to be someone great when I couldn't even afford being that and will end up being the bad person anyway because I wouldn't let go?So, even if it hurt, I wanted to part ways.

Ryan's POV:Oh my God, did Pearl leave?That's the first thought that came to my mind as soon as I woke up from sleep. My neck made a cracking sound as I sat up in a hurry. Somewhere between the middle of the movie I fell asleep on the couch. And my shoulder felt stiff.May be because of my awkward sleeping posture.Ryan do you really have so much time to think about that?My innerself snapped at me while I was going over all that. It was right though, what if Pearl already left?No no that can't happen. I didn’t even get to talk to her about our issues.I ran towards the bedroom in a rush to check if she was there or not and she was sleeping on the bed like a princess who was waiting for her prince to come and wake up her with a kiss.But I didn’t think that she would appreciate that, so I left the room with a sigh to go to the kitchen to see what was being made for breakfast as she would be hungry when she would wake up."Ryan, you didn’t leave for the office yet? It's already 9." M

Pearl's POV:Standing in front of the door of our.. Ryan's penthouse I took a deep breath before dialing the code hoping that it didn’t change. A click from inside confirmed that it didn’t. Pushing open the door I dragged my luggages inside with me and looked around to see if there was anyone who could help me with them and Anna rushed to me all of a sudden indicating that she noticed me before I could."Ma'am, it has been so long. How have you been?" Genuine concern was vivid in her eyes as I smiled tiredly."I have been really busy, Anna. Hope you all were doing good?" Anna bobbed her head confirming that they were. "I'm glad. I'm going to take a shower before getting some shut eyes. Can you tell Martha to cook something chinese for the dinner? Oh and bring the luggages in the bedroom, will you?"Anna nodded but her eyes expressed the want to ask some questions. I noticed but chose to ignore as I walked to the bedroom I and Ryan used to share. Every question will be answered in due

Pearl's POV:Coffee, I needed a coffee right then. With all the noises happening around me, my migraine was coming back in full forces and nothing but a cup of coffee could save me. But that darn thing was no where to be found."Mrs. Anderson, Giselle is looking for you." A spot boy informed me while I was looking for coffee earnestly around the set."Hmm? Can you bring me a cup of coffee first, please?" I requested as I couldn’t concentrate on anything else."But I have to deliver these to the cameraman." He nodded towards the boxes in his both hands, I didn’t even notice them before, "But I can being it to you after this?""That would be really nice of you." I smiled at him apologetically and he went to get his job done."Why the long face?" A cheery voice came from behind me. Turned out, it was Benedict's voice."I have a headache from migraine and you didn’t make any arrangement for coffee here." I complained as I started looking for Giselle."So why are you not resting then? And

Ryan's POV:"Mrs. Anderson called again and I said you are in a meeting." Mr. Baker said after he knocked the door."Thank you, Mr. Baker. Is there anything else?" I said in my business tone without looking up to him."You have an appointment with Mr. Salvador after lunch. That will be all, Sir." He informed me as he waited for me to dismiss him."I'll remember that. Let me know if Pearl calls again." Saying that I opened another file to check that after closing the one I had in my hands."Ok Sir, then I'll take me leave." in reply to that I just nodded my head.Pearl had been calling me for weeks, but I didn’t want to contact her before I had confidence to face her, and there was my father who didn’t budge even a little bit, no matter how many times I asked him for forgiveness. So, when my own birth father wasn’t ready to forgive me, to expect that from Pearl was a luxury itself.About Natalie, I offered to help her to get a job but she refused to take my help and said that she wasn’
