Kim smiled politely and said, “Actually, they cost two hundred million dollars each!”Gladys gave Noah a sidelong glance. She didn’t know what to make of the revelation. Was this supposed to be his new home? Or, was this someplace he bought to pacify a mistress? After all, she was deeply concerned about Gwynn. So, she couldn’t help herself but wonder about these things. Noah was uncharacteristically thoughtful about Gwynn. He took his ex-wife and son upstairs and showed them the master bedroom. There was a nursery attached to their bedroom, making it possible to take care of their baby boy and have some privacy at the same time.Lorian was still very young. So, he closed all of the windows in the bedroom and cranked up the heater. Turning around, he saw her carrying their baby boy.The sight of it overwhelmed him. Gwynn was finally back in Brookesville with Lorian in her arms. He stood by the window and stared at them for a while before he walked toward her and hugged both of th
Noah hadn’t been counting on an answer from her, anyway.Not long after, he was already downstairs. He didn’t feel better until he was sitting in his car. Kim, who looked glorious, was sitting across from him. Loosening his tie, he closed his eyes and sighed. “Do you also think it’s a bad idea for me to take her back here?”She smiled faintly and said, “A truly competent assistant doesn’t concern herself with her director’s private life.”Opening his eyes a crack, he gave her a sidelong glance. …Noah had meetings in his company and didn’t go back to the villa that night.The next day, Gwynn gave Kim a call. Kim listened to what she wanted and responded warmly, “I’ll tell Mr. Noah about it! With that said, I think he would comply with your request if you asked him yourself about it.”Pursing her lips, Gwynn said, “I’d rather not talk to him at all.”Kim was a little surprised to hear her response, but there was nothing she could do except sigh gently. After hanging up, she w
Liam was heartbroken for a second. He gave himself a second before he added, “She has a compassionate soul!”That took Gwynn back to a couple of years ago when she first met Zoe. In fact, she was indebted to her. Zoe purposefully took a flight from Nihonburg to Silvercrest and took good care of Maddox and his family. She was eternally grateful for that.She was about to say something when she suddenly caught Liam’s expression. Stunned, she asked, “Do you love Zoe?”His face was filled with sorrow at once, but he didn’t deny it. He asked for a cigarette from the warden, lit it up, and smoked it quietly. He threw his mind back to the afternoon when he saw Zoe for the first time.His office was dimly lit, casting a bleak glow on her perky, yet depressed face. That did nothing to diminish her beauty, though. Liam had only ever thrown himself into work and revenge in the past. He never really thought about ladies and his sex life. In fact, he didn’t even spend much time sating his
Noah didn’t continue to argue with her. Lowering his head, he looked at her and said softly, “We’re flying to Silvercrest tomorrow. There’s a party tomorrow night and I want you to go with me.”Gwynn knew he was working on a big project recently. So, he was most likely meeting up with his business associate in Silvercrest. She was no longer a naive young lady. She knew this was a good opportunity to start striking up a bargain with him. “You said you can’t set my brother free, but I’m certain you have the power to make his life easier in there.”At that moment, the last streak of light was consumed by the impending darkness. Her face looked delicate and graceful in the lingering glow, accentuating her womanly charm. He turned around and looked behind him before he pulled out a packet of cigarettes. He lit and smoked one. Grey wisps of smoke rose in the air. He scanned her from head to toe through the smoke for a brief moment. Then, he flicked the cigarette and chuckled. “Wh
Loosening his tie, Noah tossed it onto the couch. Staring at her, he said, “They wanted my wife to attend the party with me. Is Kim my wife? For Heaven’s sake, she has two kids of her own. I have no intention of having an affair with her either.”Gwynn couldn’t convince him.She relaxed and lowered her voice. “How long are we going to stay there?”Raising his hands, he unbuttoned three buttons of his shirt. Something stirred in his heart when he saw that she was ready to let him have his way with her. That turned him on.He didn’t suppress his lust. Instead, he walked straight to the side of the bed and lifted her delicate chin. Then, he leaned over to kiss her while slipping his hand into her sleeping gown. Moments later, he pulled her close and slipped his manhood into her. Gwynn leaned on his shoulder. She was very submissive and let him have his way with her. She figured he might be satisfied with a round or two if she did it that way. Otherwise, he might go for three or
Gwynn saw Maddox. He was holding a young lady by her arm, supporting her in front of a convenience store. They were probably married because she could tell the young lady was pregnant. Most importantly, he had a bag of diapers in his hand. The moment he saw Gwynn, he was stunned and the plastic bag fell to the ground. Then, his wife turned and looked at the lady across the street.The lady was as pretty as she was sophisticated. On top of that, she looked young too. Maddox’s wife had a pretty sharp hunch that he used to be in love with the lady. She asked, “Is she here for you?”His eyes were still fixed on Gwynn. He never thought he’d ever see Gwynn in his life again. He thought Noah would’ve tortured her so badly that she would’ve been turned into a gimp or something. It was baffling how they could see each other again.She still had that fragile beauty about her.The elegant outfit did nothing to hide how fragile she looked. Tears started filling his eyes as he bent down
A cold, unfeeling smile crept up Noah’s face. He snorted lightly. “What if she wanted it too? A hundred million dollars. That was the kind of money she could never make, no matter how hard she worked for the rest of her life. Maddox is a good-looking kid, and good-natured too. So, what reason does she have for turning down the offer?“What I’m more interested in is you and your reaction. Why do you care about what I did so much? Is it because you still have feelings for him? Did seeing him with his wife upset you?”However, Gwynn didn’t explain herself. They fought and it felt suffocating in the car. So, neither of them spoke to each other again. Then, they arrived at the hotel where the party was being held.The chauffeur pulled over by the hotel entrance. Noah touched her hand lightly, and said coldly, “It doesn’t matter how upset you are. You are not to let anything show on your face. This project means a lot to me.”She wore a blank expression and responded, “Don’t worry
As a matter of fact, Gwynn didn’t really care about it. After all, she didn’t love Noah anymore!She was just surprised at how filthy and sleazy he could be. The crystal chandelier in the hallway shone on her dress, but it looked as dull and pale as her face was. Then, both Noah and Sariyah noticed her. She quickly realized that she was the third wheel. Smiling in a daze, she said, “I’m sorry if I interrupted anything! Please, go on!”“Gwynn!” Noah called out to her hastily. However, she was no longer looking at him. She had no interest in laying her eyes on something so obscene. The lady in his arms looked like she was mesmerized by what he was doing to her. Her face was red and her eyes looked dazed from pleasure. She had no interest in being there while both of them wallowed in bodily pleasure.Perhaps this was Noah’s true nature.A perverted manwhore!She turned around and left. Her luxurious dress no longer shone with the resplendence it possessed, but was instead d
