A foster mom. Marriage by contract 8. A blow to your ego?
Noah reached his office; he had several important meetings today. He left his briefcase and turned his face when he saw Isabel entering. "What are you doing here? The last thing I want is to see you," he says. Noah pours himself a drink and then continues to stare at her. "I came for money," she says. Noah lets out a laugh upon hearing those words. "It's not a joke; I just want money," she repeats. "Noah, look, I don't have time to waste with you. I will give you two options: the first one is the easiest, ask your lover to give you the money, or tell your daddy to send it to you. I hope it's clear to you that I'm no longer responsible for giving you money," he says. "Noah, you don't understand anything. I'm not asking for anything for free. It's something I deserve; it's something I want to have," she says. "Sometimes I question why I was married to you. You think the world revolves around you, and the rest of us should kneel and kiss your feet," Noah comments while continuing

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

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

Emily 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

Emily 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,"

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.

A foster mom. Marriage by contract 7. Did the confrontations begin?
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 stepped away from him, and Noah showed no emotion or different expression, which confused her. She lowered her gaze to the contract and then signed it.“You can go get the things and then install them in the house,” he said, adjusting his tie and turning his back to her."Is that all?" Emily remarked, her voice breaking, as all of this was making her heart feel somewhat dizzy."It is. Remember, this is just a contract. You're not the type of woman I'm used to," he assured her.Emily blinked a couple of times, realizing that in reality, she was only going to be used; that was why she had been hired."That's why I’m telling you, this is just a contract. The last thing I want is for you to think that at any point you have a chance with me. I want to make that crystal clear. I would never be interested in you," he said."Don't be mistaken," she replied, but he interrupted her."I’m not mistaken. I want you to understand that things will be done my way.
