Lola felt tipsy but she held onto Aria’s body tightly before the girl’s wobbly movement caused them both an accident on the street. Soon, the cab for Aria arrived and Lola repeated the address once again to the driver before the vehicle zoomed off.The raindrops which she thought would have ceased persisted. At first, it could be ignored as the fall was light, but now that she stood under the night sky without a covering, her clothes were starting to get damp and she felt a little chilly.Lola looked back at the bar behind where she and Aria had spent most of their evening drinking and longed to be within its comfort again. They would probably still be in there had the bar owner not announced that they would be closing up the bar soon for the night.Lola had only started to weigh her options which included finding a shade to take cover or waiting for her cab in the rain when the rain suddenly increased its drops.“Darn it.” She cursed loudly and just as she made to take cover anywhere
Infinity Jewels HeadquartersCEO’s Office...Noah stood at his favorite position in his large office, by the floor-to-ceiling glass wall that offered a magnificent view of Rosewoods. It was his second day away from home and also the most important day to stay away from it. After today, everything would go back to normal.He had indulged himself in more work and dropped a message off for Lola that he would not be coming home until Monday. The sky was blue and clear and the rain had long ceased. It was his birthday yet he had received no well wishes, messages, or calls from anyone which was fine by him as it was proof that no one remembered. It was in fact, perfect. That way no one would bother him. Lola had called him earlier in the day, telling him that she would be hanging out with her friends later in the evening. While Xena had called right after, with an invitation to attend their high school reunion together in three days, an offer which Noah had instantly declined. Two knock
Flash BackFifteen Years Ago...Game arcades, swimming pools, standby waiters, and alert bodyguards.The party was in full swing as many children were present. Everywhere was noisy as they played around the makeshift amusement park happily. Ava and Andy Sanchez, Noah’s parents had specially set up a field in their family’s estate for their son’s tenth birthday. This was not the main party prepared for Noah as a bigger dinner banquet had been organized that evening for their son. The newly turned ten-year-old Noah who only got to experience such fun a few times a year on his birthday as his parents always declined party invitations from other parents tried to be cheerful as he got pulled in on rides by classmates and children his age whom he rarely communicated with in elementary school. Most of the children present were unfamiliar as he had no friends except for Tyler and his younger sister, Xena. “Where are the parents?.” He heard the event photographer ask as the man stood confuse
The day after Noah’s birthday party was a Sunday and the mansion was a bit bubbly as all members of the Sanchez family were home. After joining the whole family for breakfast in the morning, Xena proceeded to drag Lola into her living quarters by hand. She had preordered outfits from Secret’s latest clothing collection and they had been delivered to the estate that morning.Noah, who had been abandoned at the table with his parents and grandfather by his wife and little sister looked at the two women who were happily walking away from the table and strangely felt that Xena was starting to spend way more time with Lola than he did with her. The two women had only just stepped into Xena’s familiar quarters when Xena hurriedly shut the door behind her and turned back to face Lola with twinkling eyes. Lola, who was starting to get familiar with Xena Sanchez’s cunning antics quickly let her guard up as she looked back at the door wondering if it was too late to back out. “Why that look?.
“Ohh...such a handsome smile. You should smile more often dear. You look so adorable.” Maria commented happily. “Pfft.” Lola almost spat out at her mother’s compliment of Noah... adorable?.. who? This stoned-faced man??.“Mom.. that’s enough. You would make Noah uncomfortable..” Lola said. If this continues she would have to deal with a headache soon.“Uncomfortable?.. are you uncomfortable Noah?.” Maria asked.“No Mom I’m not,” Noah said as he smiled more adorably at Maria and observed Lola’s reaction from time to time. He seemed to be enjoying her tensed-up expressions. It’s been so long since he felt this free or played around this way.Maria nodded at his response satisfied as she turned to face Lola. “See?.. he’s not uncomfortable at all.” Then she turned back to face Noah. “Why don’t you have your seat or let Lola show you around the house? I prepared lunch already before you both arrived and I made just enough for at least three servings,” she said as she left to serve the foo
The long dining table had three vacant seats. Noah, Lola, and even the patriarch of the Sanchez family were missing from the table and the other three members had been waiting for them to arrive so they could start eating. Ava Sanchez, who had abandoned an important scheming phone call to show up for dinner was starting to get upset as she signaled for Mrs. Dorothy who had just walked into the dining room to come towards her.“Old master Sanchez had instructed that dinner can proceed without him and the young master, he would join in much later instead.” Mrs.Dorothy announced as she bowed slightly.“What about Noah?” Ava asked directly about her son, not bothering to also ask about Lola’s whereabouts.“The young master had just arrived but he’s with Old Master Sanchez in his study.” “I see... Thanks, Mrs.Dorothy.” Ava said as she dismissed the housekeeper while wondering what was so urgent for the old man to put dinner on hold. * * *Noah drove up to the entrance of the mansion onl
“We will move out tomorrow as grandfather has advised.” Noah declared as he wiped his hands elegantly with a clean napkin while staring straight at Ava. “If you wish to visit Lola, be sure to inform me about it two days ahead or my doors will not be open to you.” “You...” Ava stuttered angrily as her hands shook at his words. He was her son however he was treating her no more than a visitor. How dare he!“Son..” Andy spoke up but Noah cut him off. He was done with his meal already and had no reason to remain at the table to keep listening to them. “Goodnight,” Noah said as he stood up and walked away from the dining area to attend to other important things. * * *The next morning, Lola woke up early and assisted Maria in wetting the flowers she had planted in the garden behind the house. She also prepared breakfast and served her mother’s food before organizing the dishes on a tray to take them to her room. Inside the bedroom, Maria was still sleeping peacefully on the comfortable
The weather was perfect and the ride home remained silent as Lola stared out from the luxurious car’s window. The scenery outside the vehicle was bustling and multiple cars drove past them as they moved. It was John who had been sent by Noah to pick her up from her mother’s apartment. Currently, the proficient bodyguard was seated beside the chauffeur in the front passenger’s seat. Lola had let down her silky red hair and had worn her green camouflage pants and black crop top which she had kept in her wardrobe back at Maria’s place since she had not left the Sanchez family home with an extra outfit the day before. The men in front could not help but sneak glances at her through the side mirrors. Their madam looked different today... she was like a wild beauty.Lola had her AirPods plugged on, but her thoughts kept drifting back to what had happened in her mother’s home that morning. She was still surprised that her mom who seemed to stay aloof from the world or at least, from the e
Grandfather Sanchez let out a hearty laughter as he watched the good old Boyd’s family mansion come into view. It was just yesterday when his granddaughter-in-law had put to bed and the joy that came with carrying his great-grandchild in his arms escorted him on this short trip.He had not only gained a great-grandchild but also his father’s prized possession would be returned to him very soon. His prized golf club.The security guards at the mansion’s gate saluted him as the car was allowed to cruise up to the entrance of the mansion where a beautiful old lady waited.“Good day, Old Master Sanchez.” Samantha, Old Boyd’s wife greeted politely.“Samantha.” The old man acknowledged with a slight frown on his face. “Where is your husband?.” He asked with a raised eyebrow.Samantha let out an awkwardly tight smile as she spoke out. “I apologize, Old Boyd is unable to receive any visitor at the moment as he is currently indisposed. But I assure you, I am an excellent host.”“Would you like
It was late into the night when Noah’s eyes gradually opened.His eyelids continued to flutter until they finally adjusted to the lighting in the room. When he tried to turn on his side, his back hurt, and his entire body felt numb so he lay there for a while, unmoving.~Her bed was warm and Lola felt more comfortable as she snuggled against her huge pillow. She remained there until she heard her phone vibrate and her tired eyes reluctantly opened up.“Ah..h!.” Lola jumped off the bed with a scream as she realized that the pillow she had been hugging was a real person. Who would dare?...Noah, who had been pushed off to the edge of the bed groaned at the slight pain her roughness had brought to his still-recovering body.Now widely awake, Lola was in for a double shock as she stared at the person in hospital clothes who she had pushed away. “Noah!!!.” Lola screamed with joy and a rush of excitement overtook her as she jumped back on the bed to return to her husband’s embrace, comple
SEVEN WEEKS LATER,Lola clutched the test results in her hands tightly as she rushed into the hospital’s restroom. Finally, alone, she let the hot tears that she had been holding back stream down freely on her face. She was pregnant, and yet there was no way to tell him that he was going to be a father. Her phone started to ring in her purse and Lola inhaled sharply to clear her voice before she picked up the call. It was Maria. “Mom.” She managed to say in a clear voice. “Honey, you should come home today. Let me take care of you while you get some rest...”“I will be fine, Mom. Trust me. You know I’m a lot stronger than you think.” Lola said, even though her supposed strength was a lie, she refused to be swayed from her responsibility. “Besides I have to be there for when...” she insisted. Maria let out a long sigh at the other end of the line, her daughter was stubborn as always and she wondered who it was that the girl had taken after. Richard.“If you say so.” Maria finally sa
“Step away from her this moment, Nathaniel!.”Andy ordered as he stared at his wife who looked too shaken to utter a word. He could understand what she was going through, after all, he had been present all along to know just how much Nathanial had affected her in the past.“Stay out of this, Father!.” Ash snapped as he ran his hand through his hair frustratedly. “I am not your father, neither is she your mother. We are not related to you in any way whatsoever. Come to your senses, young man!.” Andy clarified angrily.Ash let out a bitter laugh and he withdrew his hands from Ava’s to stand up to his feet. “In the end, it's those two you want right?.” He questioned, referring to Noah and Xena.Their present denial of him was a huge blow to Ash’s ego. He had been prepared to do anything for them. He had been ready to get rid of the children who had replaced him in their life, he had been ready to kill Noah and Xena Sanchez to have his parents back. He had done a lot of bad deeds to come
Infinity Apartments,The Penthouse.“Boss!.” John bowed as he reached Noah amidst the anxious gazes of Grandfather Sanchez, Lola, and Mr. Henry. The men had indeed discovered something, but it would be safer if only Noah learned of it so he leaned in to whisper to Noah, but he was stopped by Noah who shook his head and ordered. “Speak up!.”John glanced in Lola’s direction with a slight hesitation in his gaze. “Boss, I don't think..”An icy glare from Noah shut him up.“Whatever it is, we need to hear it boy!.” Grandfather Sanchez added and Lola and Mr.Henry nodded in agreement. The old man did not like the way the bodyguard was cautious of Lola’s presence either. She was one of them now and the Sanchez family’s women would not be thought of as weaklings! It was a family matter and they all had to think of a solution, together. John swallowed and decided to speak up regardless of how sensitive the matter might be to the young miss.He looked at Noah directly and reported. “The men m
“They’ve been gone for over six hours. The flight takes three. So how is it possible that they are not yet there?.”An eerie silence settled over the room as everyone suddenly turned serious. Even Lola, who had just walked out of the bedroom after hearing the old man’s voice in the living area was forced to keep the formalities aside and listen in on the conversation, quietly.“I had called the resort before all else sir, they are indeed yet to arrive.” Mr. Henry explained. He had only noticed that something was off when the guards that had been arranged to convey the elder Sanchez couple from the airport to the resort where they were to stay had called to inform him that thetwo people they were expecting, were nowhere to be seen. The bodyguards had been waiting at the airport for a long time before they finally reached out.Mr. Henry was also the one to confirm the booking of their stay instead of Grandfather Sanchez, so it had also been easy for him to get the information that he ne
“Lola…” Noah groaned as his wife’s soft hands tortured his member which did not hesitate to betray him by hardening excitedly in the welcome softness of her warm hands. He had not expected that she would touch it…again.“It’s so big,” Lola mumbled and adjusted her hands gently around his throbbing rod which suddenly jerked again in her hands. Even in the dimly lighted room, it was easy to see the veins around his thick manhood, and its cap which glistened with pre-cum only fascinated Lola the more as she rubbed gently on it and went further to move her hands up and down his dick.Noah ran his tongue over his lower lip as he stared down at his little wife completely helpless. Whether drunk and drugged or sober, how is it that she did the same thing? no matter how sloppy her inexperienced hands on his shaft were, did she not know that her simple action could torture him to madness?Noah wrapped his hand around Lola’s and his lips parted slightly as he guided her at the pace that he want
The lights from down the marina’s pathway cast the most beautiful shadow on Noah’s features, making them look sharper and dangerously more charming. His deep eyes trailed appreciatively down Lola’s body and Lola blushed from his hot gaze that suddenly made her feel so self-conscious... It was almost as if the man in front of her could see the whole of her soul with the whole of his eyes. “Why are you looking at me that way?.” Lola finally asked.It was a little windy and the breeze made a lock of her hair blow toward her face. She made to put the strands back in place but Noah was one step ahead of her, as always.He tucked the red lock of hair behind Lola’s ear and let out a helpless sigh as he draped a coat that Lola did not notice he had been holding around her shoulders to prevent her from catching a cold. “It's even more gorgeous than I imagined it would be on you. But of course, your beauty surpasses it…” He responded in a serious tone and Lola could almost swear that she had
The elevator dinged and the Sanchez couple walked to the entrance of the suite where Noah opened the door with their keycard. A porter, who was helping them convey the packages they had returned with from their afternoon outing walked inside first and Lola followed after him. She suddenly stopped, surprised to see that Noah still standing outside, and even after the porter had dropped off their bags and left, he made no moves to come in after her.“Aren’t you coming in?.” she asked. Noah shook his head in the negative as he signaled for Lola to go ahead. “I had something delivered for you. It’s in the living room.”“Read the note first.” He added with a teasing smile.Lola raised her brows and let out a nervous chuckle. “Okay? That's it?.”Noah nodded. He could read from the curious look in her eyes that she wished to know more, but divulging his plans by words was not his way of doing things.~“What are you up to, Noah?.” Lola muttered as she made her way into the living room Just
