Chapter: CHAPTER 7- TensionsThe plane ride was quite long and tiresome. Not a single word was said between Noah and I but I could tell that he was beyond pissed. I managed to fall asleep before we arrived at the Maldives. Noah has told me earlier that this was where we were going to spend our ‘honeymoon’. I had to admit this place was breathtaking. I was even more amazed at the resort we would be staying for the next few days. It was truly beautiful.When we arrived to our room, I was a bit nervous knowing that Noah and I were going to be sharing a bed. The big was quite big but it still worried me. The only thing that relaxes my mind was the fact that I didn’t have to do anything with him, at least not until the four weeks were up.I immediately headed into the shower as soon as we entered the room. After a nice warm shower, I put on my sleepwear in the bathroom because I knew Noah was probably still in the bedroom. However As I exited the bathroom, I was surprised to find the room empty. I took advantage of th

Chapter: CHAPTER 6- Old Flame“Hey, what’s wrong?” I heard Noah ask beside me.“Um, I need to go to the bathroom.” I muttered distractedly.“Is everything okay? Do you want me to accompany you?” He asked.“No no, I’m fine Noah.” I said quickly.He narrowed his eyes in disbelief as he asked again, “Are you sure?”“Yeah, i just need to use the restroom, ill be back in a bit.” He stared at me for a second before he released me. I could feel his eyes on my back as i made my way to the restroom.I picked up my gown to quicken my footsteps. It was a really beautiful gown and not to mention quite expensive. Noah had chosen it but it was a bit difficult to walk in.I made my way out of the reception into the lobby heading towards the ‘newly wed’s’ private bathroom. Yes, Noah had made sure we had our own private bathroom.I pushed the door open and locked eyes with the person sanding right in front of me. I closed the door behind me and dropped the tail of my dress.“I cannot believe you actually married him…”I felt hot

Chapter: CHAPTER 5- Done Deal"You can do this," I whispered to myself, gazing at my reflection in the mirror. "Everything will be fine." I attempted to convince myself that this was not such a terrible idea after all. I took a deep breath and studied my appearance. My wedding dress was beautiful, a flowing white gown with intricate beading along the bodice. My hair was pulled up into an elegant updo, with loose curls framing my face. Makeup artfully enhanced my features. Yet despite my lovely appearance, anxiety swirled in my stomach. I knew my father would arrive any moment to escort me down the aisle. I had been standing in front of the bathroom mirror for a good fifteen minutes, contemplating the fact that the day had finally arrived. It had been four weeks since I reluctantly agreed to this preposterous arrangement with Noah Wolfe. During that time, I had dedicated myself to planning the extravagant wedding with Noah's assistant, barely seeing Noah himself. In truth, I spent more time with her than with my n

Chapter: CHAPTER 4- Putting On A Show"Would you just relax?" Noah asked in a nonchalant manner as we stood in the outside my parent’s house, discussing our forthcoming encounter with my parents. While I was instructing Noah on what to say and what not to say, I couldn't help but notice his growing annoyance, evident from the multitude of eye rolls he directed my way."It's going to be fine, alright?" he reassured, gently cupping my face in his hands.In that fleeting moment, our eyes remained locked, something undeniably special transpiring between us. However, as quickly as it occurred, we averted our gazes, and the moment dissipated.Noah cleared his throat, running his hand through his hair. "I'm going to make him believe that we are deeply in love, okay? Stop worrying so much."I nodded, still flustered from the encounter. "Okay."To my surprise, he reached into his jacket pocket, extracting a box that revealed a breathtaking and undoubtedly expensive ring. Taking the ring out, he delicately grasped my hand."You sho

Chapter: CHAPTER 3- ChoicesI entered my house defeatedly. I could not believe how today turned out. I honestly felt like crying. Today was rather unsuccessful—I wasn’t able to come up with the money for Dad's medicine. My parents have done and sacrificed so much for me, and I couldn’t even do this simple thing for them. I felt like a failure. I strolled into the kitchen for a glass of water and I wasn’t surprised to find my mother in there trying not to cry too loudly. This had been a normal occurrence ever since she found out about my Dad's cancer. “Mum,” I said softly.“Oh Izzy, you’re home,” she said as she turned around, wiping her tears away quickly. “Where’s Dad?”“Upstairs, resting. The doctor gave him a new prescription, a more expensive one at that,” she said. “Were you able to talk to Noah?”I swallowed nervously, “Yes.”“Did he lend you the money?” She asked hopefully. "Please tell me he gave you the money."I took a deep breath as I replied, “Well, he didn't exactly refuse...”“So he agreed?! He’

Chapter: CHAPTER 2- Life Changing OptionAfter a moment of silence, he replied,"Money?" Noah sighed, "I should have known...... what exactly do you need this money for? Did mummy and daddy cut you off?""What?! Of course not!" I snapped."This was obviously a waste of my time," Noah said finishing off his drink. "Hold on, please just listen to me for a second," I said, "The money isn’t for me."Noah raised a perfectly sculptured eyebrow, "Go on.""It’s for my father.""For your dad? Why would Adam need money?" Noah asked confused, "And why wouldn’t he come ask for it himself?" "That’s because he doesn’t know I’m here," I sighed. "Care to elaborate?" I took a deep breath, "Four months ago, my dad got diagnosed with cancer......and over the past few months, things have gotten worse. He needs medicine and chemo and some other things that we can’t afford. Look I know this is weird and odd for you because we barely know each other but I wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t so desperate and I’m only asking for a loan so I can provide
