This is so wrong, Gladys thought to herself. Noah descended the stairs slowly and made his to the living room on the ground floor. Gianna was wearing a fur coat and a set of extravagant jewelry while she sat on the couch, drinking tea. She carried herself as if she was the lady of the house. Then, she heard footsteps on the stairs and raised her head to see who it was. That was when the sight stunned her. She had waited for him for about ten minutes. At first, she didn’t let herself overthink it. Now, however, she saw his pajamas that were pried open and some faint scratch marks that were obviously left by a lady.So, it was true. He was really fooling around with Gwynn. That ticked her off considerably. It had been a long time since he did it with her. She almost felt like she was living a nun’s life. However, she still respected him enough to make up excuses for him. Perhaps he was so busy with work that the accompanying stress killed his lust.Now, she found out that he
Noah was stunned for a while. Then, he headed upstairs without another thought. He walked with long strides and raised his voice, addressing his servant. “Take Gianna to the guest room, Gladys.”She had seen the flirtatious moment between her master and his lover on the side. She just didn’t say anything about it. Her heart broke for Gwynn. Gwynn is so pure and innocent. It did’t take a genius to figure out that she must’ve resented Noah after she saw the obscene sight. She hadn’t been too fond of Noah, to begin with. Surely, she would never let him lay a finger on her again.That was why Gladys found Gianna’s presence distasteful. Walking over to Gianna, she pulled a long face and said, “This way, Ms. Gianna!”Gianna wasn’t exactly thrilled, either. The last thing she had expected to happen was for Noah to cut her off coldly even though they had a history together. More to the point, she was turned on. What was she supposed to do if he really left her alone?!She called o
Gladys turned around and left after she said her piece. Gianna was very pissed off, but, deep down, she knew that the old servant’s words, while rough, had the ring of truth. In the past, she was very confident that she’d get Noah. Compared to the overly naive Gwynn who was out of touch with the real world, she was the far more suitable candidate to be his wife. The world should be jealous of her. However, Noah had chosen Gwynn over her without so much as a moment of hesitation. It was very clear who meant more to him. She knew who he wanted, but that didn’t mean she would just roll over!In the end, she had to sleep in the guest room.The next morning, she woke up early, put on a puffer jacket, and took a stroll outside to take in the scenery. The villa was designed by a famous architect. So, it was filled with breathtaking sights every step of the way.There was a greenhouse built in the Nihonburg style in the backyard. The mean, old snob from last night was keeping Gwynn co
Noah smoked as he took in Gianna’s miserable looks. Then, realization struck her. True to form, he broke the silence after he smoked half of the cigarette. “I don’t like an over-assertive lady! I don’t like it when a lady tries to control my life. I think I made myself clear last night. I’m promoting you to assistant director as a way of making things up to you. We’ll never sleep together ever again!”She pressed. “Is it because of Gwynn?”Instead of answering her question, he leaned over and flicked the cigarette. He said dryly, “Pack your stuff up. My chauffeur will send you to the hotel and you’ll take a flight back to Brookesville the moment the airport lets the planes fly again!”Gianna was humiliated through and through. With tears in her eyes, she asked, “How am I not better than her? My looks and capability far outmatch hers. What’s so good about her?”Rising, he walked over to the door. Holding the doorknob, he murmured, “I made an oath when we were married. I’m going
Gwynn didn’t open the study’s door.She merely sat on the carpet as she took in the filthy sights from the footage with a blank expression on her face. Her tears caught the light from the laptop and glinted sharply. Then, Noah began rapping the door. However, she had locked it. About five minutes later, the door swung open fiercely. Noah had kicked it in. He was very irritated and was about to burst into anger. Then, he saw the sultry footage and was dumbfounded for a second. It was footage of him and Gianna doing it!Clearly, Gianna had recorded it secretly in the past and gave it to his ex-wife.Walking over, he slammed the laptop shut before pulling out the flash drive and snapping it in half. He paused for a while before turning around to look at Gwynn. She was leaning on the edge of the couch as she stared off into space, visibly shocked. He carried her onto the couch, but he didn’t leave her alone. Instead, he propped one of his hands on her shoulder and caressed
Gwynn reached out and felt above the couch. At last, her fingers touched a hard object. It was a painting hung on the wall. Then, she yanked at it with an uncharacteristic strength and pulled it off the wall. It fell squarely on Noah’s forehead at a frightening speed. He stopped what he was doing as crimson blood rolled down his cheeks, giving rise to a horrifying sight. She curled up and looked at him helplessly and fearfully. Her clothes were unkempt. Her jumper was lifted well below her hips, revealing her slender body. Her long pants were also pulled all the way down, hanging erotically by her ankles. Gladys heard the commotion and darted into the study. She let out a sharp cry when she saw the gory sight. “What on earth happened here?! What’s wrong with your forehead, Mr. Noah? Also, your clothes, Ms. Gwynn… Are you getting tortured or something?!”Noah regarded the old servant coldly. She should’ve been an actress. Gladys helped her mistress up and showered her with
Why would Noah have done that if he didn’t love Gwynn from the bottom of his heart?Gianna had made up her mind. She was going to destroy his love life. She was going to put him through hell way worse than the one she was in. She was going to be there to witness his downfall as he tried and failed to win the love of his life. …It was close to New Year at Zutriystein, their country of origin, now. There were a lot of wealthy Zutriysteinians residing in Nihonburg. A lot of them were playing fireworks now, blasting them in the air, filling the entire town with a cacophony of explosions. Be that as it may, Gwynn wouldn’t eat anything. It had been an entire day, but she didn’t put any food or water in her. She had been working on her painting obsessively the whole time, not even bothering with Lorian when he cried. The bedroom door was opened gently. Noah came in with a tray of food. Dressed in a white shirt and light grey pants, he looked absolutely stunning. His forehead had
Noah didn’t deny it. He enunciated each word when he spoke, “That’s right! It’s a threat.”He was waiting for her to make up her mind. Gwynn leaned back on the couch and looked at him in a daze. He had backed her up to a corner now. She used to be head over heels for him, too. Now, however, he had dropped all of his act and was threatening to push her over the edge. She was the one who gave birth to Lorian, but he was about to forbid her from seeing her son if she didn’t bow down to his wishes. How heartless!At that moment, she tasted bile in her throat. She was wrecked on the inside, but she continued to pit herself against him. She wasn’t sure where the surge of courage came from, but she had steeled herself to push back against his assault. “Fine, then! Starve me. For that matter, go ahead and starve Lorian. You’re just using me to take revenge against my brother, anyway. What’s more, the Worshem blood flowed in Lorian’s veins. “So, starve all of us to death if that’s w
