The seventeen-year-old remained under the slowly receding rain and watched as the girl walked away without looking back. Earlier that evening, he had fought his grandfather over the old man’s unmutual schedules for his future. Noah had no interest in succeeding his grandfather, Lazarus Sanchez who was the chairman of Sanchez’s group of companies. He had instead, wanted to build up a company of his efforts from scratch! - Lazarus Sanchez was furious as he favored his grandson and had taken his precious time to groom Noah into becoming a perfect heir since the boy came of an understanding age. After their fight, Noah who had only just gotten back home from school had driven away from home in an outrage, only to find Lazarus Sanchez’s men hot on his tail. Still on the pursuit, the rain started and they got caught in traffic. So Noah had found a safe place to park his vehicle. Then got off before the bodyguards arrived and ran towards the bus stop in the corner. He had run past the girl
The clock’s hands struck midnight yet the man on the bed remained in the same position with the unsealed handwritten love letter in hand, completely lost. The last line of words on the paper made his heart beat ten times faster than it normally would."... It's crazy Noah that I've known you for what? less than two months? How did you do it? How do you make me fall for you so badly? I see the way you look at me... It’s different. I can’t hold this question back any longer Noah...Is this feeling mutual?.. "Lola’s confession letter was short, straight to the point and its words were filled with so many sentiments that threatened to drive him to madness with bafflement.“What's this Lola?." Noah muttered helplessly as he felt his heart squeeze in pain. How was this possible? How could Lola have loved him?"No...no." Noah shook his head sideways in disbelief and let the letter slip from his hands as stood up from the bed swiftly, taking hurried steps backward. A person who loved you wo
Kings Entertainment HeadquartersCEO’s Office.The camera had been put away by the media team as well as the rest of the recording devices that had been set up for the day. Richard King glanced at the watch on his wrist impatiently and then around the still-busy room. “Thanks for taking the time to accept this interview CEO King. “A lady in a blue blouse and blazer said as she walked up to him and flashed him a grateful smile. Richard nodded and stood up from his seat. “It’s my pleasure. Extend my greetings to Lucy, will you?.”“I will sir.” The lady agreed a bit surprised that he was leaving so soon. She had fought for the opportunity to be the representative sent by Lucy to interview Richard Kings because she adored this man and had a secret crush on him. “Are you leaving already? I hoped we could discuss some things regarding the interview over lunch.” She asked hoping he could stay longer.Richard frowned. Over lunch? He had only accepted this interview because he owed Lucy, the
The roads leading to Dew Square seemed to stretch on with no end in sight for the man in the backseat of the car which was driving in absolute silence. Williams had given in to his fate and no longer bothered his boss about the meeting or their flight.The DNA test result was still clenched tightly in Richard’s hands. The realization that Maria had been pregnant at such a difficult time in her life almost drove him insane. That single fact hurt so deeply that he momentarily forgot that she had been married to Shane Coker not too long after she had disappeared. Everything suddenly began to make sense and still made no sense at the same time. She had been carrying his child for goodness sake! How could she have had the heart to hide not only herself from him but also their child?~The two women stared at each other for a long time in the living room. They were both standing, one with short blonde hair and a proud lifted chin as she looked around the little room and the other woman with
“That won’t work this time, Maria. I’m not leaving this place. Not until I get all the answers that I need. So you’d better start talking.” Maria’s lips trembled as she pressed them tightly together and crossed her arms against her chest to contain her emotions. Now was not the right time for this. She did not have the strength to stand against this man. For the first time since he walked in, she noticed his unusually disheveled appearance and swallowed hard to keep the tears that threatened to fall contained. Deep down, Maria that she was not the only one who had suffered extensively from the incident twenty-three years ago. This man had also had it tough. Having to live with such heartless family members was indeed pathetic.No matter how perfect their relationship had seemed to be, they were both simply unlucky. Maria let out a deep sigh and then asked. “Coffee or Tea?.” Hearing her unexpected question, Richard raised an eyebrow. “Coffee.” He responded immediately, surprised tha
“What’s up with this sudden interest in eating out?.” Aria asked grumpily as she looked around the busy restaurant where Many other customers were seated and having their afternoon lunch.Lola resisted the urge to roll her eyeballs at her friend. “I’m doing you a favor alright? You should take a rest from cooking all the time.” She declared then waved at a waiter in a corner to come over to their table, then she pointed out what dishes they would like to have from the menu.“Well, I’m not complaining,” Aria mumbled. “I like cooking because I enjoy eating with just you.” She added with a pout.Lola laughed. “Alright, alright. We are here already and we can’t go back .. so let’s just enjoy the food and try not to ruin the mood. Thank you.” They watched as their lunch was served and started to eat immediately after. “So what’s the plan now?.” Aria asked as she straightened her back while looking at Lola meaningfully.“Plan?.” Lola repeated with a raised eyebrow. “Yes.. we have no job an
“What?!. Why would you do that?.” Lola’s face was flushed with both mortification and anger as she looked up at Noah with accusing eyes. Her little wooden box was so precious to her that she let no other person do as much as peek into it, not even Aria was allowed to open it. So how dare he?!.Noah raised an eyebrow, secretly enjoying her distress. “That’s no way to thank me for bringing your little box all the way here.” He said trying not to chuckle at the various manifestations on her face which he found funny. “But still..” Lola muttered with a frown, she felt wronged. He had indeed done her a favor by bringing it over but it was no excuse to invade her privacy.“What?.” Noah questioned and leaned forward, a proud grin on his face. “Want to say something?.”Lola swallowed as her breath hitched. He was way taller and his bent posture made his ruffled hair fall to his handsome face. Noah’s eyebrows were full and bristly and His dark eyes held a glint of mischief in them.Suddenly a
“Aria Davis,” Noah repeated. His brows furrowed as he maintained steady eye contact with Tyler while thinking deeply. He had never really liked Aria, but then... “What motive could Aria have possibly had to sabotage a love letter? It doesn’t make sense.” Noah declared and leaned back on his office seat.Tyler shrugged and reached out to pick up a snack from the servings on the table delivered by the secretary on his arrival. “Maybe she has a crush on you or something.”“Not a chance. She loathes me.”“Well never say never. You never know with these women. Complicated creatures they are, every single one of them.” Tyler insisted with a frown. “Aria might have been like “I can’t have him... so you can’t have him too..” He sang while flipping an imaginary long hair back. Noah scoffed at the joke and let out a long sigh. Aria Davis having a crush on him was impossible. Thinking back, her territorial attitude towards Lola had not only been against him but he could swear that he had notice
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
