Chapter: Chapter 60: Prologue 2 Years Later: “So where are you planning your new branch at?” “Don’t know. Somewhere near. Might be Edenton.” “You and your obsession over your wife and her related things.” Dexter huffed, causing a laugh to vibrate up from the depth of Noah’s throat. “It’s not obsession, it’s my love for her. Once you get married to Jessica you will realise that.” Dexter stilled on his chair, peeping towards the kitchen where girls were busy updating each other about latest happening in their life. Still he managed to catch Jessica’s attention who locked her eyes with the same intensity. “I knew spark have taken the form of fire.” “Noah stop it.” Leo shush Noah, preventing him from further teasing Dexter. Finally girls emerged out of the kitchen, and walked in direction of dinning area, where men were discussing topics capable of drifting one to sleep. Sophia placed the self baked cake carefully on the table and sat by Noah, who passed her a smile, creasing her cheeks. Rosie, Lisa and Je

Chapter: Chapter 59: Harmonizing “Please not in that room. Another one.”A smile crept on Noah’s lips and his eyes out casting heavy shadow of amusement. “Seriously Zhao?”“Ahem, here.”Clearing his throat, Edward open the adjacent room’s door for Noah to enter obviously with his wife in his arms, securely. Entering the room, Noah placed Sophia on bed carefully, with smile still playing on his lips.“I will do a quick check-up.”Edward spoke clapping his hands.“Noah, out of the room.”Like a bird opening it’s wing, Noah entered the alert mode.“Why?”“She is my patient, you can trust me. Now out.”Only communicating with necessities, Edward became busy with scooping the medical equipment’s out of his box.“No.”“What?”Edward turned annoyed. He wanted everything to get over quickly and here Noah is still not done with his tantrums.“I won’t go.”Noah repeated himself. Exhaling, Edward started with the check up. He would prefer to talk to a stone rather than making him understand. “Sophie darling

Chapter: Chapter 58: CessationShooting her eyes open, Sophia found Noah bent in front of her, all his concentration placed on unknotting the damn ropes twisted around her wrist.“Noah.”Sophia managed to utter through her dry throat, with obvious quiver in her voice, eyes fogging with moisture.“I am sorry Sophia.”Noah spoke, but never raised his line of sight to meet Sophia’s eyes, he was not able to do so.“Sorry for?”Sophia asked, not getting his point.“Sorry, because of me and my family drama you are in this turmoil, stuck.”Still Noah didn’t raised his lids.“Thank you.”Finally, Noah looked up, to peep in Sophia’s hazel woods, to find only candour. “For coming to rescue me.”After a mere pause, she spoke again.“You turned from a villain to hero of my life.”The later part she spoke with a laugh.Leaving the ropes in it’s place, Noah hugged Sophia, tightly, as if have found his peace in her, around her.“I became so frightened. I-I didn’t knew how to manage me. I was afraid what if I lost

Chapter: Chapter 57: Consternation Sophia woke up regaining her consciousness, fluttering her long lashes, in a place that gave impression of being more or less similar to a dungeon or some abandoned building.Her head throbbed and first thing her brain registered is, she is held hostage and her wrists were tightly tied to the arm of the chair along with her legs. She sighed.She latched on the fact that her husband would find her anyhow, even if she is held hostage six feet below the grounds, in to the dark abyss. It’s just matter of time, when he realises she has been kidnapped.Regaining her complete consciousness, she strolled her eyes to the dimly lightened room to absorb as much information as she could.As she thought of the place of being some abandoned building, it look as though, she is in one of an abandoned factories, junked machine not used for years piled up in her surrounding.Who possibly wanted her gone?Dexter?But, albeit he bickers more than Sophia like a wife with Noah, he won’t dare to pull such

Chapter: Chapter 56: Mellow“And she made an attempt to kill me.”Sophia made herself sit, hanging on to his acknowledgement, how could a mother do so?“And?”Sophia asked almost indistinct to herself. If Noah was not in this close proximity, he would have not heard her worlds properly. “And..”Noah trailed off.“..And accused me that I am the murderer.”Sophia didn’t posed questions regarding the delineate, rather placed her small palm over his bunched up tensed muscle, that melted immediately under her warm touch.“Her mental state made her to assume, that I was the one present their and killed both, my father and her lover.”Noah let out a nervous chuckle.“It’s insane, isn’t it?”“It’s all right.”Smiling, Noah dived in her hazel woods, before continuing. “That was the day, my mother lost her child. The emotions I kept in my basket were bundled, packed and thrown far beyond access. I almost turned to a living machine, devoid of any emotions, any feeling.”Noah spoke letting out another nervous laugh.“But

Chapter: Chapter 55: Delineate
Twiddling his thumbs, Noah waited for Sophia as he catch a glimpse at his watch resting on his wrist for the nth time. As yet, this is the considerable length of time she was taking to get ready. Partially, because this is the vary first time he was taking her out after their Ibiza fight.At long lost, he espied Sophia descending down the numerous stairs, looking much more juvenile self of her than the last night, when she dressed herself in the maroon gown.Today, she chose to dress herself in pastel coloured knee length skirt and a plain top.Sophia insisted on him to tell where they will be heading to, so she could accoutre correspondingly and the only inkling tumbled by him in return was to dress comfortably and a mysterious grin.Approaching Noah in her small steps, Sophia looked at him with questionable gaze.Even after acquiring the clear indications, Noah spoke, smothering his smile.“What a perfect weather to date. Shall we?”Sophia glanced dumbstruck at his extended hand. Ha
