Rose watched with squinted eyes as the vehicle drove away from the mansion and moved toward the main gate. She certainly heard those words well right? There was no way she could have heard wrongly. Lola, having her last name to be Coker could count as a coincidence but sporting that darned red hair and those wild hazel eyes was no coincidence at all! Lola was no doubt Maria Coker's child and she had welcomed her into her home with open arms!~Lola returned home with Tony from the Reigns Mansion with a smile on her face. Unlike before, when she was mistaken to be a common maid by the receptionists and the staff, her presence as Noah's woman now commanded an invisible amount of respect and the receptionists had no choice but to bow with envy as she passed by them, actually paying them no attention. Only one unanswered question replayed in their jealous minds each time they saw her walk past them. "How did a woman like Lola get so lucky to snag a widely "known to be cold" Noah Sanchez
In another part of the city, a frustrated Bianca Sanders tapped her heels against the cold floor in anger. Of all days to be left stranded by her annoying chauffeur, it just had to be today… They had stopped to pick up a birthday gift she had ordered for a friend along the way and the rest of her friends were all waiting for her to join them at the club for a party meant to be a surprise for the celebrant and now she would be the party pooper in the clique for showing up late. Just Perfect!."Miss Sanders. I'm so sorry. I serviced the car two days ago along with the other vehicles in the estate..." The driver apologized as he checked the engine once again, totally confused by why it was suddenly acting up when it had been in perfect condition earlier that morning."Are you an idiot?." Bianca bellowed in anger. "If you had serviced it like you claim to have done, why are we then stranded in the middle of the fucking main street just because it would not start up?!." Across the road, s
"You can take your time, It's the weekend and I have all day long to wait for you girls. Either you start talking now or you spend the whole day making this hard for the three of us, your choice."The silence lingered on and Lola heaved a heavy sigh. She saw no sense in just sitting idle and facing Aria without saying anything, so she chose to go first, attacking without bothering to mince words."Why did you send that video out to the media Aria?." Lola asked, her eyes staring straight into the eyes of the girl whom she had known to be her best friend for the longest time ever, but now, Lola questioned that friendship. She had been a fool for so long. She had swept every suspicious act of Aria beneath the rug for a peaceful friendship but that had only brought more harm than good to the both of them. Maria, who had only pretended to step away to make the girls talk, heard Lola's words loud and clear and frowned. Was Lola referring to the video that caused her identity to be exposed t
The night was long and what the next morning held for Charlotte was not something to look forward to.Come the next day, she would have to hand over the deed to the only property that gave the Sanders family name its value over to Luca Sergio. And allof that, to save the members of her family. It was that or nothing. Luca Sergio had stated clearly that he would not have it done in any other way except, of course, to sell her off to China and marry her daughter as his youngest wife. "Over my dead body," Charlotte swore irritatedly as she slowly drifted off to sleep in her uncomfortable position.The next morning, Luca's men were out before dawn. Charlotte was unbounded and thrown into a room with no windows so she would have no way for an escape attempt. On the simply laid bed in the room was a neat dress and some of the necessities that she might need. Charlotte took her time to prepare, stalling to get as much time as she could, but Luca Sergio was no patient man and even his genero
The two bodyguards were apprehended by the police in their attempt to escape and were arrested on sight. Andy, who had received his wife's message was driven by fear as he got out of his car from behind and ran ahead of the police and military vehicles who had arrived together with the police into the Sander's estate, searching everywhere for Ava. He ran past screaming maids and into many rooms but there was no trace of her."Andy?." A familiar voice called from behind and he turned to see Ava standing behind him with tears streaming down her beautiful face. He saw a patch of blood on her clothes and froze in place.Was she wounded? Andy thought. Shaking with fear, he held Ava by the hand and turned her around, examining her body for any possible injuries."I'm fine," Ava said to ease his worries but the tears on her face would not stop falling. "The blood isn't mine," she explainedHearing this, Andy let out a relieved sigh and stopped searching for wounds but the worry on his face he
Noah walked into the study room to find Maria standing by the open window and waiting for him with both arms crossed tightly against her chest. Just as he approached her, she asked him a question, "Why were you in a rush to get married?.."Noah sighed as he halted next to the older woman. The look on her face was relaxed and Noah could tell that even though she was no longer as angry as she had been before, Maria was serious with her questions...He could give an excuse about how much he cherished Lola and wanted to be with her, but he knew Maria was just like Lola. Both women were not the kind you could lie to as they would see through your lies.. so he told the truth. "My grandfather had requested that I get married urgently. It was either that or I got disowned. I wanted to stop that from happening.” Maria sighed. Just as she had expected, there was an ulterior motive behind it. But she was relieved that he at least knew how to be truthful with her. Had he mentioned anything like n
News Flash.Two days back, the Rosewoods Police Department charged a woman with the murder of her husband of over 27 years. The Police Department dispatched officers to the Sanders estate in response to a well-detailed report of a crime from one of the domestic staff according to department news. After obtaining a search warrant, detectives with the Criminal Investigation Division swung into action, and true to the report, they discovered a decaying body buried in the ground of one of the rooms in the large mansion. It had been covered up with freshly replaced tiles. The victim was identified as Micheal Sanders, 55, according to the release. Micheals’ wife, Charlotte Sanders, 51, was immediately detained and charged with first-degree murder.“We don’t have answers to a lot of questions. We’re just numb.” One of the in-house staff at the Sanders family home had said when asked questions in regards to the incident. Charlotte Sanders would be arraigned in the Rosewoods City Court on We
"It's perfect.""Yeah, right?." Maria smiled, relieved to hear Lola's reply. She had been a little hesitant at first about moving in when Richard had brought it up, but then she was reminded of the meeting with Noah's family which was going to happen soon. She did not want Lola to appear shabby before them nor did she want their daughter to be looked down on by anybody."Yes, Mom," Lola responded and dropped her bag on the couch. "Where's dad?.""Richard stepped out for a minute. He should be back any time from now." Maria returned and moved over to the long rows of photographs on the wall. Then she selected a few framed photographs of Lola and herself.Lola nodded as she looked around the still-busy living room. If they were indeed moving out today, then there was still a lot of packing left to be done. Still feeling giddy, Lola changed her outfit into a more comfortable homewear before returning to lend Maria a helping hand. ~"What?!. That brat's at the gate?."Grandfather Sanche
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
