A small pool of blood stained the otherwise pristine sink, swirling with the flow of water from the faucet. Gwynn stared at it in a daze.There was probably something wrong with her health!Kim swung by the hotel first thing in the morning. She was here to take Noah to sign a contract. Once he was done with his tie, he sat by the dining table and had his breakfast elegantly. She was standing at the side, waiting for him.Turning her head at the bedroom, she noticed there wasn’t any sound from inside. Gwynn was probably still sleeping, she thought to herself. So, she lowered her voice and asked him, “What should I do with Ms. Sariyah?”Noah had almost let it slip his mind.He was more than used to dealing with such flings, though. The truth was, he had always been very generous with ladies. He pondered on it for a while before he said, “Send her a fifty million dollar cheque and tell her to stop calling me in the future!”That settled it. Noah intended to sever his ties with S
Gwynn said gently, “Thanks, doc.”Rising, she walked out of the consultation room slowly. All of a sudden, the seemingly endless hallway felt so cold and unfeeling.She had been walking for a long time now, but it never seemed like she was approaching the end of it. Lowering her head, she glanced at the business card, which she was gripping tightly. She might’ve been grateful for how helpful the doctor was, but she didn’t want to be treated!Liam was in prison and she knew, deep down, that Noah would never let him out for as long as he lived. After all, her ex-husband was too hung up on his hatred. Between Liam and her, only one of them could survive.Perhaps Noah would finally be pacified when she was dead!She put the business card on the ledge of a window. At the next moment, a breeze blew by and swept it up in the air before carrying it away. …Gwynn walked out of the hospital and, to her surprise, saw Sariyah headed straight for her. The sun was bright and she looked
It was eight at night when Noah returned to the hotel. It was pitch black in the suite and Gwynn was sitting by the window. The neon lights in the city cast a vivid glow on her cheeks, adding a layer of isolation to her otherwise exquisite cheeks.“Why didn’t you turn on the lights?” He flipped the switch and lights came on in the suite. Then, he noticed a glint in the corner of her eyes. She had probably been crying earlier. He stared at her for a brief moment before walking over to the couch and sitting down. Taking off his overcoat, he asked leisurely, “Are you still mad over what happened yesterday? Did you have dinner yet?” “Yeah,” she responded briefly. Truth be told, he didn’t quite believe her. However, his episode with Sariyah added another layer of resentment between them. So, he wasn’t exactly as patient and loving with her as he was before.So be it! She wasn’t a fool! She would eat something when she was hungry!Noah had buried himself in work for the whole da
At the next moment, Noah mercilessly thrust into the deepest part of her.Gwynn’s eyes widened in dismay.Her fair, delicate palms lay flat against the cold glass as she took in the sight of the numerous neon lights in the city. The view was nothing short of beautiful. On the contrary, she was as mortified as she could be. He continued to slam his manhood into her from behind, humiliating her callously.Was this the Noah she knew? Was this really the man she used to love? Back when they had just met each other, he didn't even dare to touch her fingers. Now, however, he was pinning her against the hotel window, showcasing her fair, naked body for the world to see, as if she was some common whore!“Noah…“No… Stop…”Then, she coughed. Streaks of blood smudged the transparent glass. She kept calling out to him. That was the only way she could prevent herself from passing out when he thrust violently into her, subjecting her to excruciating pain. However, she wasn’t really calli
Noah was brutal with her earlier. Their bodily fluids were everywhere on the couch and the carpet. There was even a smudge of blood on the huge window, but he didn’t notice it. All he cared about earlier was satisfying his twisted desires. He didn’t care about the fact that she was literally dying!He didn’t return to the hotel that night. Gwynn curled up on the cold bed, watching the moonlight out the window. She was counting down her life to the day she would die. Now that she had chosen to spend the twilight of her life with Noah, she just might die sooner rather than later. Perhaps it’d only take her six months to die. In fact, it was more likely that she only had three months before she left this world for good. Then, her mind traveled to her son, Lorian…That was right. She had to think about her baby boy, too!Once she went back to Brookesville, she’d have to buy baby clothes for her baby boy. Actually, she’d have to buy clothes for him all the way up to when he becam
Painkillers!That was right. She had to get painkillers!…It was the middle of the night and it was cold out on the streets in Silvercrest. Gwynn wore a coat, but she was still shivering from the biting chill. She knew she felt that way because of her condition. She wasn’t this susceptible to cold before. There were all sorts of pharmacies in the city. She entered one that was open for twenty-four hours. The pharmacy was brightly lit and she walked in and asked for some painkillers with the store assistant. She spoke in the Silvercrestian accent, not even lifting her head. “I can’t sell you any medicine unless you have the prescription from the doctor!”At the next moment, she took out a wad of cash and smacked them on the counter. There was twenty thousand dollars in there. The store assistant was stunned. She checked left and right before she picked up the stack of notes and put them into a currency detector. A whirring sound could be heard as the device verified the aut
He gripped her arm so hard that he hurt her. Gwynn watched as the female celebrity left. After a brief moment, she said softly, “I’m not mad! After all, I don’t have the right to be mad, do I?”That irritated Noah a little. At that moment, a blast of wind rushed at them, making her cough involuntarily. He noticed that she hadn’t dressed nearly enough to beat back the cold. Frowning, he said, “What you are doing out here all alone at this time of night?”Sweeping his eyes across the street, he asked, “Are you here to buy some medicine?”Her heart skipped a beat. She was worried that he might’ve checked her pouch, so she responded vaguely, “Yeah! I’m having my period and it’s hurting a little.”It looked like Noah bought her story. Then, he asked her to get in the car. Flat out of options, she did as he told. It was warm in there, but the odor of the female celebrity’s perfume lingered in the car. It made her feel nauseous, but she did her best to bear with it. She didn’t w
Frowning, Noah wrapped up his phone conversation and hung up. There was some leftover packaging on the bar counter. Picking them up, he read the name on it and recognized that these medicines were prescribed from the hospital. Raising his eyes, he looked at Gwynn and asked, “How did you get your hands on this? Also, you’ve never had any menstrual cramps in the past. Why is it so serious this time?”Her heart was pounding. Gulping, she said gently, “They wouldn’t give me the prescription at first. I had to slip the old lady two hundred dollars to get it!” She paused for a while and added, “I have no idea. The cramps just came this time.”Fiddling with the pills absentmindedly, he grumbled, “This pill isn’t good for your stomach. Don’t take too much of them!”Now that she had finally tricked him, she felt a weight being lifted from her shoulder. …The next day, they took a flight back to Brookesville.It was noon when the black limousine pulled into the luxurious villa.
