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
Infinity Jewels Headquarters.Top Floor.The elevator dinged and Noah Sanchez got off the lift with his bodyguards closely behind him. The boardroom minute ran for five hours straight and those five hours were hell for the company’s managers who were careful with delivering their reports to avoid losing their well-paying jobs after they had bore witness to the consequence of being stupid.“We’ll leave in an hour,” Noah instructed John as he sank into the comfortable leather chair in his office. At the moment, his fierce eyes were a little dull as he was stressed out. It was early November and this time of the year before Christmas was always demanding. Infinity Jewels was set to release its newest collections of accessories by early January and the various departments in the company worked overtime to ensure that everything took off well. As the person in charge, Noah had to govern each department’s duty and give all their hard work a perfect finishing touch. Noah could easily appoi
Aria stared at the phone in her hand for a while longer after the call with Lola had ended before letting it drop. Bang!.The mobile phone which was intact and functioning well enough less than two seconds ago now lay shattered on the floor with its screen cracked in too many places.Aria’s expression was calm as she stared at the broken object which she had destroyed herself. It was a new phone and was less than a month old but now it was no longer useable. “A pity...” She mumbled as she got up from the bed to pick up the phone from the floor. She took out the sim from the phone before disposing it directly into the trash can. Next, she walked up to the dressing table where two newly bought tickets lay. They were the tickets she had gotten earlier in the day excitedly to go to watch the Get Lit dancers perform with Lola.Aria smiled sadly as she picked them up and ran her fingers over the letterings before tearing up the tickets into pieces and disposing them directly into the trash
Lola snuck too many glances at the handsome man sitting across from her. He was silently eating the food she had prepared and Lola felt a tinge of satisfaction surge from within her. He was no longer shirtless as he had returned with a grey shirt worn over his gym shorts, which covered his attractive abs but still, his muscles bulged as the shirt’s sleeve tightened around his arms making Lola swallow. Even when eating, this man looked sexy as hell. “What’s wrong with me!.” Lola thought as she scolded herself and forced her eyes to concentrate on the food in front of her instead, but even her eyes were unwilling to look away as less than five seconds later, she looked up to fix her gaze on him again. This time, Noah was looking straight back at her. He had felt her gaze on him many times and could not help but look up this time. Having been caught red-handed by the man, Lola’s face reddened as she quickly turned back to her food.Noah frowned. Her plate still had much food on it whi
“So many views already. Are these numbers even real?” Lola exclaimed as Aria passed the phone over to her. This was the second video uploaded on her YouTube channel after the first one was uploaded a few weeks ago. The first dance video has millions of views and comments already and the subscribers had been looking forward to any little news about that mysterious dancer. “Yeah, they are,” Aria replied from a distance. Lola did not look up from the phone or she might have seen the dark look on her friend’s face. Aria made up her mind already. She was doing the right thing. If Lola’s real identity gets exposed to the public, Lola would be forced to get busy and Noah’s family would be high and mighty right? What powerful family would still want an entertainer as a daughter-in-law? In the end, Lola would have no choice but to put an end to her contract with Noah Sanchez. Having her best friend back is all that matters!Lola finally put the phone away as she recalled something. She walk
“Welcome home, Noah.” Lexi’s automated voice greeted and Lola looked up from setting dinner on the table just in time to see Noah walk into the penthouse. His black raven hair was no longer laid back like it was earlier that morning but was now ruffled like she had predicted. “Welcome.” Lola greeted. Noah only gave a nod in reply to Lola’s greeting before elegantly walking past her to go into his bedroom. Inside the room, Noah tried to put his emotions in check. Why was he getting so riled up at the thought of Lola meeting a man privately? He took his time changing his clothes into simple housewear before going back to join the woman in the dining area.Lola sat down unmoving. She seemed to be waiting for Noah. Her slender back was turned to him and she had packed her silky long hair up, leaving it packed up in a messy bun. Her dress was baby blue and simple. It fitted her perfectly and as Noah settled into the seat opposite her, Lola straightened and served out the food, her eyes
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
