Chapter: 14. Jealousy?Noah stops in the middle of some buildings, Emily watches him... he looks deranged, and she does not doubt that. Noah took a breath; he wasn’t thinking clearly, and it was time to do things right. He was completely convinced that he couldn’t let this get out of control and that she should see that things couldn't be managed so easily.“I’m not accepting your resignation, but I thought it through well on the way here. Do you want to leave? Fine, you can do so, but you have to pay me back all the money I’ve given you, not to mention the money you owe me for damages and losses at this very moment,” he says, with a smile.“I can’t pay you that right now,” she says, bewildered.“Well, that’s the only way I could accept you leaving. Do you take it or leave it?” he said with determination. Noah knew he had her in his hands.“Do you like this? Taking advantage of others just for your money. How despicable you are,” she says. He nods his head.“You didn’t answer me. Are you going to stay or le

Chapter: 13. What is she playing at?Noah is looking at his phone when his brother hangs up the call. Immediately, he walks to Emily's room. Upon entering, he realizes it is empty, and when he looks in her closet, he doesn't find his things.Noah knocks on the door with his hands; this woman is playing him. He grabs his things to head to Leo's house. On the way, he calls Lucas, the truth is that he is the only person he can talk to about this, and he doesn't really judge him."Man, what time is it to be calling?" Lucas says on the other end of the line, laughing, with the sound of women's voices in the background."Did I interrupt you?" Noah asks."Yeah, but since you called, I suppose you need urgent advice from me," Lucas says teasingly."This woman… took all my stuff and went to Leo's house. Can you believe it? She's such a shameless person," Noah says angrily.Noah drives with his eyebrows furrowed; all of this fills him with rage and tension. She is just as brazen as all the other women."Honestly, I didn’t see that

Chapter: 12. Rushed decisionsEmily packed her things to leave, her heart completely stunned and her mind very angry. No one had ever humiliated her in this way; she was always surrounded by people who cared for her. But Noah was making an exception to the rule, and that didn't sit well with her.Before leaving the house, she went to Liam's room, apologized, and kissed him on the forehead. Then she carefully walked down the stairs, and lifted her chin; there was no turning back now, and she would have to pay a hefty price. She was not going to allow that man to treat her however he wanted again.The stars and the moon lit up the streets as Emily walked as far as she could to catch a taxi that would take her home; however, at this hour, it was all in vain. Suddenly, a car pulled up in front of her and honked the horn."What are you doing out here alone at this hour?" Leo said as he got out of the car. Emily took a deep breath when she realized it was him and not some lunatic approaching her."I was on my way home,"

Chapter: 11. One More FightEmily stepped out into the yard, feeling the soft breeze brush against her face. She sat down on the grass and hugged her knees. All of this was bringing out a part of her that she didn’t know existed. Suddenly, she heard a cough. When she turned, she noticed Noah watching her from a chair.“What are you doing there? Are you spying on me?” she asked.He shook his head as he approached her with an envelope."I would never spy on you; hearing that is a joke at my expense," he said, before sitting down beside her. "Here are some adjustments I made to the contract, considering the payments for the nurses who will care for your grandparents," he mentioned.Emily nodded; it was only fair… everything had to be paid, and she had to work hard for it."I assure you I will pay for those things you left out in the contract," she said.He smiled for a moment, completely surprising Emily."That's not necessary, Emily. That's what you work for. I just ask that you do your job well. That’s why I want

Chapter: 10. It's better to have her as an ally.Noah sat staring at his brother, who had a smile on his face. Emily, for her part, felt quite uncomfortable, especially because she was completely sure that Noah wouldn't just act as if nothing had happened after seeing his brother there."You didn't tell me you were coming. I could have easily made some calls to have someone pick you up at the airport," Noah commented. Leo shook his head."Truth is, I wanted to surprise you, but the one who got surprised was me. I didn't know you already had a new partner, especially since Isabel was here when I arrived. I thought you two had gotten back together. Furthermore, I had no idea your girlfriend was my nephew's babysitter," Leo said, looking at Emily."You see, that's life. What are you doing here, brother?" Noah replied with irony."I came to spend some time with you, my nephew, and of course..." Leo said, glancing at Emily. "Of course, with family," Leo ended up saying."With family? Leo, you're not the type of person who does that. You

Chapter: 9. Marking territoryEmily touches her cheek while watching Isabel with great repulsion.“He will never hit me again in his life. You are nobody to lay a single finger on me,” Emily tells Isabel, her hands shaking with rage.Isabel moves her jaw; pushing people’s buttons is her greatest trait.“Look, you are a very misplaced woman. Just look at yourself, you are very insignificant to someone like Noah. It’s clear that you live in a fantasy world where you struggle to face reality, one that isn’t difficult to understand,” Isabel says mockingly.“I am getting tired of you. I won’t listen to you for another minute,” Emily says with determination.“Keep thinking a man like him could be interested in a woman like you. Keep dreaming; I guarantee that when you wake up and crash against reality, I will be there to tell you I told you so,” Isabel says.Emily rolls her eyes, feeling annoyed by the situation. Isabel walks around the room for a bit, then looks at everything her son has done with Emily, and with a gri
