On 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

Emily is only clear about one thing: she will win that boy over, no matter what it takes. When she arrives home, the first thing she sees is Luna, her only friend, sitting on the sofa quite impatiently. Luna has to leave and can’t leave Emily’s grandparents alone.“Thank goodness you’re back! You know that I have to go finish a very important project for college; I care about you a lot, but I can’t overlook my commitments,” she says, grabbing her handbag and giving Emily a kiss on the cheek. “I’ll call you later and you can tell me how it went. Your grandparents are fine; they ate and should be asleep by now.” Emily smiles at her friend once she finishes speaking. “Thank you so much, I wouldn’t know what to do without you,” Emily said, feeling quite grateful.“I hope your financial situation improves, so you can hire someone to take care of them. I’m starting my internship and I can’t do it anymore,” she says. Emily nods in agreement. “I love you, my friend; I’ll see you early tomo

After leaving Mr. Davis's building, Emily felt as horrible as possible. It was clear that she never imagined everything would come crashing down on her, due to her overconfidence and naivety. Now, she was not only back to being unemployed, but also, because of her, Liam might be in trouble.Upon arriving home, Emily found several billing statements from the bank, not to mention that they were already sending them to collections due to the delay. Emily headed to where her grandparents were sitting and listening to some music."My girl, how did it go?" asked the older woman."Good, you don’t have to worry," Emily said with a forced smile."Your eyes look sad. I want you to know that if you need to send us to a nursing home, you can do it. The only thing that matters is that you can be okay. We don’t want to burden you," her grandmother said. Emily crinkled her nose and shook her head."Don't think that just keep listening to that lovely song. I'm going to cook something," Emily said.Emi

The meal wasn't the most relaxing experience in the world; the tension was palpable at the table, and the only one who seemed to lighten the mood was Liam. The little boy smiled at the sight of Emily, as if she had given him the light he desperately needed."So, Emily, tell me about yourself," says Lucas, prompting Noah to clear his throat."Lucas, please be quiet. It's not our business to know more than necessary," Noah responds. Emily lets out a subtle laugh. "Also, I remind you that Liam is right there, and the last thing we should do is discuss things that might disturb the kid," Noah says, clearly annoyed.Emily shifted her plates and stood up. She wanted to throw everything at that man; he was as arrogant as attractive."To avoid traumatizing Liam, you should first examine how you're raising him. Excuse me," Emily says.Emily walked away, and Noah clenched his jaw at her lack of manners.He wasn't used to people contradicting him."Don't you think you're being too harsh on her?"

Emily 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
