View MoreOn his way back home after an exhausting flight, he cursed again and again because the business he thought was going to go great was a complete failure; someone beat him to the purchase before Noah arrived, causing him to lose a considerable amount of money.
However, Noah decided to overlook that moment, he would soon investigate the name of the person who did that and show them that no one messes with him; for now, the most important thing was to go see his wife. They would soon be celebrating their anniversary, and he wanted to give her the best, he had a surprise for her when she returned from work.
Noah's driver didn't take long to arrive; after a few minutes on the road, he looked out the window at his imposing house. For him, there is nothing better than arriving at the place where the woman he loves is. Noah checked the time and then told the driver to pick up his son after he finished studying.
Noah went up to his room, he deserved a bath. After Noah took off his tie in front of his room door, he could hear moans coming from inside; he furrowed his brow and without hesitation, he opened the door.
"What the hell is going on in here?" he said aloud, his skin turning red with anger.
Seeing that image, he was completely surprised and disappointed; the scene he was witnessing was slowly destroying him.
There was his wife, who was being intimate with someone else; seeing them there, in the place where he slept, left him completely bewildered. Noah was just trying to process what he was witnessing, she was the woman of his life, the mother of his child.
"Forgive me, love, it's not what it looks like, everything has an explanation," Isabel spoke, covering her body with a sheet and walking straight to him.
As for that man, he just stayed in bed, watching the pathetic scene.
"There's nothing to explain, don't take me for a fool, with what I just witnessed, it's more than clear what's happening here," he said, feeling disgusted.
Noah stretched out his hands in the direction, preventing her from touching him, he was disgusted by the thought of her hands touching him again.
"I don't want you to come near me, you're the worst person I've ever met in my life," she started crying while trying to hold onto his arm.
"I made a mistake, please listen to me..." she said.
The anger is so great that Noah turned and left the room.
Outside, Noah hit the wall a few times with his clenched hand, releasing the rage he felt at that moment.
"Forgive me, don't do it for me," she says.
Something inside Noah wanted to explode with every word that came out of her, she was being cynical.
"Think about our son, he doesn't deserve to grow up without his dad," she speaks very confidently.
"He's not going to grow up without his dad," he said angrily, shouting.
"Please, just listen to me, he's a mistake," she said, excusing herself.
"Now I understand your rush to go on a trip, that excuse was just a cover for deceiving me, while I stayed there like an idiot thinking you were the best woman in the world; I fell for your lies, but I assure you that you will pay for this," he said.
She hugs him, causing him to release her immediately.
"Listen to me, love, I made a mistake..." she pleads.
"Let me go, it's time for you to leave this house with your lover, but you will have to go without our son. I will do everything possible to make it very difficult for you to see him again," he says with a threat.
Noah tightens his hands, noticing the white of his knuckles. He loved her with all his strength.
"You can’t keep me away from my son. Just because our relationship is over doesn't mean I should be kept away from him. He is my son, you can't separate me from him," Isabel speaks.
"How long have you been together?" he asks. She just looks at him without answering. "How long have you been together?" he shouts once more.
"Please, don't bring that up now. Our relationship was not good, it had ended a long time ago, you just wanted to keep pretending to have a happy family. You left me alone many times, always with your business affairs, forgetting that I exist," she says.
And with each word, she destroys Noah even more.
"It's not just that, you know very well that you are always avoiding me, and now I see the real reason. Always with excuses. I just want you to know that I no longer want anything to do with you, so I ask you to leave for good, and I hope to never see you again in my life, forget about my money, this house, everything... because that's all you care about from what I see," he speaks, in a strong tone and completely determined to go through with this betrayal.
At those words, she paces back and forth, her face showing complete desperation, but it's only because of the money she freely had access to, not to mention her position in the company.
"I am Liam's mother, I will not be separated from him. That's why I must stay with him in this house, you are the one who must go. After all, you are the one who is hurt and can't listen to reason," she says.
Noah can't help but contain his laughter, letting out a loud and painful chuckle.
"Liam stays with me. You don’t deserve the company of a heart as sweet as his; please pack your things and leave of your own accord, don’t make me do it forcefully. So don’t think for a second that you will stay in this house either," Noah warns.
Noah turns his head as that man leaves as if nothing happened. Isabel huffs, then goes upstairs to get dressed.
Noah sits down, his deep and cold gaze showing everything that has broken within him today. He uncorks a bottle and pours his favorite drink into a glass to the brim, taking a single sip to get through this tough moment, while his heart breaks completely.
After a few minutes, he watches his wife leave as if nothing happened, pouring another drink and drinking it as if it were water, then throwing the glass against the wall.
Noah is left alone and completely shattered, while she has left behind a marriage and the love of her son to go with that man.
A Traitor?Isabel adjusts her clothes and positions herself behind the door; one of the guards might be watching. It's not in her best interest for the employees of this place to see her near Leo.At that moment, the door opens and Noah enters with his son, who, upon seeing Leo, makes an uncomfortable gesture.“What are you doing in my office, brother?” Noah asks.Leo straightens his tie and then stands up to greet his brother.“The real question is, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be on your honeymoon?” Leo asks, changing the subject.Noah puts down his briefcase and shakes his head.“We decided to come back as soon as possible to get on with our lives; we don't need to be elsewhere to live our love. But that's beside the point; after all, it's my private life. Leo, you still haven't answered the question I asked you: what are you doing in my office?” Noah repeats the question.“I just came to get the bidding documents. I thought you wanted help with that, not to mention I fou
Discovered?Emily sat on the sand, the gentle wind tousling her hair as she could only think about what happened that night. She turned her face when Noah settled beside her with two bottles. “I think it’s better to drown our sorrows this way,” he commented, taking a sip of his drink.“You’re confusing me; you’re behaving in a way I can’t understand,” she said. Noah smiled.“Many times, I don’t even understand myself. I’m sorry; I know I haven’t been acting my best. I just don’t want things to be misinterpreted,” he excused himself.“Misinterpreted or for me to fall in love?” she questioned.Noah became serious. She shook her head; the headache had already intensified, and the amount of alcohol she had consumed was overwhelming her.“I don’t want you to fall in love because I assure you, I’m not going to,” he asserted.“I already know that; you’ve made it clear in several ways. You’re not my type either, yet here I am, and honestly, I think it’s been the worst mistake. You’ve ruined m
Reasoning goes out the window when she's around.Noah takes a few steps closer; however, something within him stops him, making him sit far from them. Noah orders a drink and sits without taking his eyes off them. Emily is ordering her second drink, feeling outraged and offended by Noah. "And what is a beautiful woman like you doing all alone?" says the man next to her. Emily merely presses her lips into a thin line and decides to ignore him. "I just want to drink. If you're going to make comments like that, I'd appreciate it if you left," she says firmly, which makes the man let out a laugh. Noah observes everything from his spot, struggling to sip his drink as he witnesses the scene. "Do you want to go somewhere today? That way I can help you forget your troubles," the man comments. Emily rolls her eyes and looks at him. "I'm tired of men like you thinking they can just say things like that, that you can take women to bed just because you're who you are. You're mistaken," Emily
Taking Things LightlyNight fell, and although Noah and Emily had ensured that Liam had one of the best afternoons of his life, they were not having such a good time. Noah knew he had made a mistake, but his ego was so inflated that he didn’t want to admit it.Emily leaves Liam in the room and then walks out, where Noah is in the living room working on his computer.“Do you need me tonight?” she asks, leaning against the doorframe.He continues to look at his phone and computer, giving her no attention, as he always prioritizes his work over others.“No, you can do whatever you want tonight,” he replied dismissively.“Perfect, then I’ll go explore the place,” she says coldly. He is arrogant, not even realizing that she had foolishly developed feelings for him, for something that doesn’t exist.“You should be careful; there aren’t many people around. This is private property, and you could get lost,” he mentions.“I’m not asking you to worry. I’m grown up enough to take care of myself,
He is a cruel, unfeeling person.It's incredible how a person can throw someone so off balance; that's how Emily felt. Most of the time, she felt confused, and Noah's actions and words increasingly made her head want to explode.Could it be jealousy that he feels? Because there really wouldn't be any other explanation.Emily searched through her things and found that she didn't have anything appropriate to wear. She grabbed the first thing she found, and when she looked in the mirror, she realized it showed more than it should; those swimsuits she had never worn were making her blush today.Emilio left the house, noticing the comments of one of the employees who were there. It was clear that Noah was treated with respect and great admiration, while she was observed with suspicion.As she walked to the edge of the sea, Emily managed to avoid Noah's complete scrutiny. Although she felt exposed, she knew that her weapon against his indifference and arrogance was her beauty.“Emily, you t
Are things different?Noah finished organizing everything so they could get to one of his properties. Getting there would be an appropriate place where they wouldn’t have to pretend to be married or anything like that; he could work and focus on his tasks while she could take care of Liam perfectly.Noah descends the stairs and then walks to his car, encountering Emily along the way.“The bags for Liam are ready; I also packed some clothes for myself,” she says in a cheerful tone that shows how happy Noah made her with the news about her university.“Perfect. You can tell one of the drivers to take them,” he replies, leaving her there as he continues walking.“But… aren’t you coming with us?” she asks. Noah stops and then looks at her.“No… when I said we would go on a honeymoon, it was to make her understand that we were going on a trip, not something romantic. I remind you that this is just a facade; however, it’s a facade that must be executed correctly. That’s why we’re taking thi
Did something change in him?When Noah brushed his lips against Emily's, he immediately pulled away. The thought of her kissing his sister and now possibly him was something he didn't like.Emily was confused; perhaps she thought that was going to happen. But at that precise moment, she realized that she was just a tool for him. Noah himself said it; she was merely a means through which he would achieve absolutely everything. Emily took a deep breath; this was going to be harder than she thought, especially because there were feelings involved.Noah, on the other hand, tried to drink some liquor, but remembering what he could lose if alcohol took control of his life again, he decided to leave it there.The next day, Noah woke up early for the office, as he had a lot of work that had piled up due to the wedding. The people he encountered on his way congratulated him, but he showed little emotion in response. Noah sat down and began to review the pending tasks that his secretary brought
Her words are confusing.The guests began to leave, and Emily realized that from this moment on, there was no way to escape or abandon this. She sat down, feeling the cold air hitting her bare arms."I should go in," Noah said, and Emily rolled her eyes. "Or are you so regretful that you're looking for a way to escape?"Emily turned her body and looked at him; she stood up and raised one eyebrow. She extended the ring and placed it in his hands."I'm not going to leave. That ring is supposed to be a sign that I keep my word. Here I am, I don't plan to go unless things get to a point I don't like. If you act like a caveman or an arrogant fool, I assure you I will leave," she said. Noah began to laugh."Don't worry, I'm not attacking you or anything like that. Look, I understand this isn't easy, but we both agreed to all of this. I promise not to be an ogre or caveman, whatever you want to call me. I just ask that we make this pleasant and work together to avoid losing my son," he kindl
Trying as hard as possibleNoah opens his eyes; his brother's honesty is admirable. Not all men fight for the woman they like openly but he goes all in."You have every right to fight, as you say, but I just want to tell you that you will waste your time. You're not going to achieve anything; we just got married," Noah says, raising his hand to show the ring. "So, what you're going to do is waste your energy, your time, and you might crash hard against the wall."Leo starts to laugh; something in him disconnects every time his brother achieves something. It’s not easy to always be second in everything; it's not easy to admit that he can't win anything on his own."That's great that you have such high confidence in her. I think it's excellent. However, I believe it's a bit hasty. You got married without even questioning whether she was the one; you did the same thing with Isabel," Leo asserts."Isabel cheated on me; I would never have done anything to hurt her or damage our marriage,"
