Joan's POV
I slept with my boyfriend’s uncle Noah when I found that Fletcher cheated on me.
You are not wrong, to revenge, the one who I vented my desire on was an immoral one in most of your eyes,but as the youngest kid in the Hugo family,Noah was the at the same age as my boyfriend, no, now I should say, my ex-boyfriend, Fletcher.
The last time when I saw Noah was on a business party held by my company, Skyscraper. He attended the party as the director of their family company. If Fletcher had not been such incompetent, it would be him who’s in charge of the company instead of his uncle.
I noticed him once I glanced at where he stood, but we had no chance to have a chat or even exchange our names.I used to hear his story from Fletcher, and he called his uncle “Perpetual-man” for he would never feel exhausted while confronting work.As for this workaholic’s real name, I had not been sure at that time,maybe it was Noah or Norman.
During the whole party,my mind was filled with his figure.But I had to continue the the phony conversation with various big shots.I didn’t know how long it took, the party was finally over, while when I looked for him, a waiter told me that he had left. What a bad luck for me.
I immediately took my phone out to search his information online, and as it was said “when God closes a door, he opens a window”— I found his F******k account with little effort.
His real name was Noah Hugo? I clicked the link on the page of G****e and enlarged his profile photo... Gosh! It was the moment when he held a sexy woman’s butt!On the photo,he was wearing a pair of luxury sunglasses which I had impression on. On the cover of Times magazine, he put on the same sunglasses.
On his profile, his medium long brown curly hair covered one of the glasses, which showed his unusual gentleness.The white shirt was half open and his pecs were barely visible.I looked down on his body slowly... I couldn’t believe my eyes. What a huge manhood! I felt that I blushed but I couldn’t help staring at that. How come I had such a crush on my future uncle-in-law?
Thanks God, I broke up with Fletcher, otherwise I wouldn’t have any chance to date Noah.Once I saw Fletcher’s naked body on a bitch, I was near the point of breakdown.But now, I didn’t regret at all, or somewhat, I was a fortunate one. If breaking up that awful relationship gave me some relief to hook up with Noah.
I sent my friend request, and during the time of waiting, it seemed that I was having butterflies in my stomach. This was the first time, I worried only about a friend request. As a business celebrity, he must be too busy to check such a little thing. To relieve my nerve, I went to the bath having a spy. Immersed in the scent of rose essential oil,my mind was still over the place. Finally, after two hours, I heard the sound of my phone’s prompt. My friend request was approved!
I immediately unlock the screen and open the messenger.
「?」It was just a question mark in the chat box.
「Are you busy now?」I replied.
「It's already mid night. What do you think?」He replied.
It seemed he didn’t recognize me at all. I quickly searched my homepage and finally found out I had no detailed information for introduction. Even my profile photo was just a little kitten. Meanwhile, I reconsidered the days I had dated Fletcher. He hardly took me out to his friends, not to mention to his family.
That was truly ironic! My boyfriend thought I didn’t deserve to be his family.It was really a joke, but the funnier thing was that I hadn’t noticed it. But never mind. I was now getting away from him entirely.
「Are you available tonight?」Hesitating, but still, I sent him this.
「What do you mean?」He replied.
This time, I ensured that he didn’t remember me. So I baldly sent a picture of mine and waited anxiously. 「Wanna F?」I added. We were accustomed to use F to stand for Fuck. That was the popular style I learned from my cousin Karen, who was one of my Ex-boyfriend Fletcher’s friends of benefits.
「Hmm.」He only replied such a confusing message first, but then another message followed, 「Pretty hot, but sorry I don’t fuck my nephew’s girl.:)」He even sent me an emoji of a smiling face.
All of a sudden, I was stunned like being shocked by the lightening. I was so much embarrassed because I didn't expect that he should remember who I was!
「Not any more.」I stopped for a while, and determined to go on no matter what would happen next.
「:)」A smiling face, again! What he replied made me think he might know what his nephew had done to me. Was I being played by them two?
Some special excuse occurred to me. Every time Fletcher tried to get out, he would say that he was going to his little uncle for some further study about business. And he would describe a blueprint about how hard he would work to achieve something.
Bullshit! Totally bullshit!
My anger became aggressive, I must revenge!
Nevertheless, I started to doubt myself. Was he thinking me as a slut? A ridiculous poor whore who was acting like a clown after being cheated.
The more I thought about it, the sicker I get. Even Noah sent me several messages, I had no mood to answer them.
「Wine is the best medicine to cure all the illnesses.」
It was nearly 3 a.p.but I couldn’t sleep at all.Without any hesitation, I texted my best friend Sophie.I knew she was always here when I needed her.
「Have a drink?」
「La La Land. Come over here.」That was so her! She was treating wine as water in her life. She always held the firm belief that wine was the second Jesus in her sparkling life.
「Right in a minute.」 I quickly dressed up and put on a slightly little makeup.
On arriving the La La Land, I saw Sophie dancing wildly in the pool and I waved at her. Just at the end of this music, she backed to her seat and raised the cup. We cheered and I drank every drop of the wine in the glass.
“Woo! Hold on! Are you Jo? This is far from your style!” Sophie grabbed my glass, put it down and raised my chin up with her two slim fingers. She was like a siren in the sea tonight, so beautiful and sexy. I could hardly move my eyes from her exquisite face.
“So, tell me, Jo. What’s going on?”
“Not something important. It’s Fletcher. He fucked my cousin, Karen.Do you know how disgusting he was when he rode that bitch?”
“Holy shit!”She took another shot. “I told you I hate Fletcher, didn’t I?”
Of course she did and I would never forget that scene. After I ran a home ball with Fletcher, I couldn’t help but to called Sophie to share how I excited I was, but she gave me a should shoulder: “Listen, Jo, I’m happy about your beautiful sex experience, but I don’t think Fletcher is a good friend, and put it bluntly, I hate him.”
Recalled the memory, why hadn’t I listen to Karen?
“But Karen...”Sophie went on to say, “I don’t know how close you two are, so it’s hard to say...”
“Just forget it. Why not drown all that into this little cup of vodga?”
A man’s voice broke in and I raised my eyes. Out of my expectation, it was Noah!
“Hey, Noah. Long time no see!”Sophie stood up and hugged him. More unexpectedly, they two got to know each other!
“Wine can cure.”After he sat on the seat, these were the only words he told me.
“Well. Hope you guys enjoy the wine here since it’ s newly opened. And, Jo ,this is Noah Hugo, and Noah, this is Joan Green, my best friend.”
I was so nervous that Sophie would find out what I texted to Noah. In case he spilled it out, I decided to run away from here.
“I feel sick, Sophie. I gotta go now.”I grabbed my phone and rushed out.
The cold air outside helped. I won back some consciousness.
My phone rang. A message jumped in, which was from Noah.
「Stand still.」
What?! Was he chasing me out? I turned around and found out Noah was standing right behind me.
My phone rang again. A message came in.
「Wanna F?」A new message from him.
I stared at him, a smiling face fulfilled my eyes, just like the smiling face he sent me a couple of hours ago.
Joan's POV I didn’t expect he would recognize me, but he did. I wonder whether it was good news or bad news for me, but I was sure this must be breaking news. He came closer, shaking the phone in his hand. “If my memory is not wrong, you are...” He signaled me to check my message. Sure enough, I knew there must be a decision lying ahead, waiting for me. But I was a coward. A total Scaramouch. I just wanted to eat my words. By no means should I send him those stupid messages. I started to show a face of embarrassment. Luckily, Sophie texted me.「How do you feel now?」 I dialed her number and got ready to ask for her saving my ass. We had a deal before— “CCC” stood for the crisis attacking soon. God! She finally picked up. “Hey Sophie.I’m feeling much better now. I hope you to see the CCC. BYE!” Noah was still standing there, silently and politely. Awkward as I was, the smile must be the priority. “Girl’s date. Sorry.”At least, this excuse to refuse him seemed a sort if reasonable.
Joan's POV Noah’s lips softly kissed my naked neck and then I felt he bit my collarbone slightly. “It’s hurt.” I moaned. Noah didn’t say anything but to continue what he was doing. His tough hands caressed my boobs and then went down to my thighs. Subconsciously,my legs drew close to each other. His index finger drew circles around my private part, like a waltz. God, this was itching, but I swear this was the happiest sex I ever had. Soon, there was a heat in my body and my legs couldn’t help quivering. When I slept with Fletcher, he never gave me any foreplay but to insert his ugly cock into my pussy and started his repeated movements. Rarely could I experience the orgasms. I seemed that I was just his sex slave. Noah’s finger drove me crazy, I bit my lip tightly and frowned a little, and I felt my skin almost burning. "Groan as you wish." He whispered the words into my ear. Far from knowing that this was the fuse that would set my body on fire, I began to writhe and search for
Joan's POV It was nearly noon when I returned to my apartment, and the smell of baked breads from a cafe came to me. I could even hear the sound of my starving stomach, but I wasn't in a bit mood of having any of them. Unlocking the door, I found Fletcher was no returning home yet. Through all night, he must have been fooling around with Karen again! My anger was really hard to eliminate. I threw the keys away! Poor keys but only in this way, could I give vent to my anger! Why was I such angry? Because I still had affection on Fletcher? Of course the answer was NO.Mt feelings to him had gone away, but I hate them, Fletcher and Karen. I took Karen as my family, my friend, but what she gave me was betrayal. Damn it! What’s more, Noah’s behavior made my revenge a comedy show and I was taken an idiot! Even though I thought taking some photos as evidence of revenge,I ran away immediately with desperation. I was studying in Harvard University as a master, majoring in Human and Social Re
Joan's POV All of a sudden, the sex we had during the whole night kept punching my mind. Although I tried to calm down after receiving this goddamn message from Noah, I still failed. I couldn’t kick myself out of the situation right now. There was no doubt that we already had the fleshly intimacy, but I still had the chance to erase all this and corrected it. I just wanted to get away from the HUGOs while it seemed that Sophie would be the first one to stop me. I had a thumping headache suddenly. I couldn’t hold so much things in my mind, stirring and battling. The last message from Noah was no doubt an invisible bomb, ready to bomb me apart. I turned off the phone, and planned to wander in the street alone. Sometimes, loneliness could cure your pain from the chaos in life. I stopped by the café we used to go. Of course, I mean Fletcher and I always came here before. Why would I think about him? The answer was so much easy. Rage could resist the shame for a while. Pushing the doo
Joan's POV To be honest, I was suddenly a little excited. The awkward expression on Fletcher’s face provided me with a vengeful pleasure, and all my frustration had gone. After we went out of the cafe, Noah was still holding my hands. This was too far from what I had expected. “Stop that!” I got out his arms. “That’s enough!” “What?” Noah didn’t loose his hand and that was when Fletcher followed us out. "Get the fuck off her!" Fletcher threw a punch and Noah easily escaped from it. "Not even close." Noah said defiantly, chin raised. Quickly, he threw a punch back, right in Fletcher’s face. Fletcher was not ready for that, so he was closely fell off. Karen screamed and hurried to get him. Apparently, Fletcher was irritated. As the attack came so fast, Noah quickly grabbed me with his hand and put me behind him. I sprained my ankle, but Noah caught me right away to stop me from being hurt. This was the first time I'd ever felt protected. With his protection, I dodged Fletcher's
Joan's POV What Fletcher said really shocked me. Why did he said such a thing? Did he find something? I almost couldn’t move like I was frozen here. But then, I calmed down immediately,because with Fletcher’s ID,he wouldn’t find what we did last night. His roar might be to vent his anger out. I knew him well,and that’s no wonder his father would rather leave the business to his uncle Noah than to him. I had also tried to encourage him to be confident in work, but now I could see clearly, he was such a lame duck. I decided to fight back in person, of course, as an innocent victim. "What the hell are you talking about? I'm gonna be mad at you for fighting and going to the police! And now you say I slept with someone I don’t even know!" Anyway, just now, in the cafe, I did not have any direct communication with Noah. Even if I was taken away by him at the end, Fletcher immediately chased me out and confronted me. Therefore, I had enough reasons to describe myself as a survivor of an
Joan's POV: I didn't want to give a shit on Fletcher's current situation, because he was an absolute stranger to me. However, I didn't have a proper chance to tell him about my plan. Recently, I noticed that he seemed to have many appointments because he went out very often. Most importantly, no matter how late he went back, Karen's perfume would always wrap around him, which was hard to ignore. It was the Dior perfume named Venus of Goddess, which was the graduation gift I prepared for her, so I knew very well the smell of that perfume. How funny it was! It turned out that the girl who wore Venus was a whore who messed up with Fletcher. She didn't deserve that gift! That night, I was making a video call with my partners, who had been abroad. At this moment, I heard that Fletcher closed our gate. It seemed like he went out again. When we finished the video call, it was nearing midnight. Well, he wouldn't come back tonight...As a woman, my hunch was reliable that this man was probab
Joan’s POV: Noah's aggressive moves instantly took me back to that night, which was a "sleepless" night. To be honest, I really wanted to have a rest, even if ten minutes, but I was not allowed to...The familiar smell of his breath enveloped me. It had been a long time since us to have such a close interaction since that night. He seemed impatient and couldn't wait to convey me. But I was a little distracted now holding the phone because I was still waiting for Fletcher's response. Although I already knew he didn't have time to respond to my messages at this point because he was too busy flirting with Karen. Still, I instinctively pushed Noah away, simply because, the situation would become more complicated. I knew I was supposed to get back at Fletcher, but if I took advantage of Noah again, the situation would be out of control. I was used to weighing the pros and cons, even in this kind of situation. "Sorry, it must be a long time since I saw you last time." Noah didn't force me
I had always dreamt to be one of David’s students, so it was so hard for me to say No to him right at that moment. I was hurrying to find out Noah’s vermilion nevus among dozens of pictures, but I just couldn’t resist talking with David. “Oh hi, Mr Syrus. Nice to see you here. Are you here to be auctioned?”I was supposed to make it easier to talk with my idol, but it seemed I screwed it up entirely. “Well. Kind of..”He nicely smiled and narrowed his slender eyes. “So Noah was willing to let out to find something fresh?” That was a bit offensive, but I took that as a joke like I said just now. “No no, I wasn’t his fiancee. I’m just...” Yeah, right. If I wasn’t his fiancee, what was I doing here? It was Upper East Siders only party. I had no qualification to be here. However, I didn’t want myself to be judged and labled as belongings of anyone. “Don’t be nervous. I’m just kidding. Since you just tole me that you want my Phd, I want to know something about human relations with soci
Honestly, I didn’t expect that he would have known the little secret of mine.“How did you know that?” I spoke with a bit uncertainty.“Fletcher is my nephew, but he is...” Noah stopped to make a gesture of cutting his throat.“He is a total bastard.” I viciously said it. “So you know all these things, right? Stealing my pic and showing on the screen, and finally finding fault with me. Is this all your plan?”Noah wasn’t irritated. He sighed and explained.“I will not be responsible for this. Actually, the picture is from a woman.”A woman? I felt a question mark in my eyes. Suddenly, I realized all about this.“You mean, Karen?”I said in disbelief.Noah slightly nodded his head and added, “The woman in the hotel with Fletcher in the hotel. Your sister, right?”I started to get sick. Why would they do this to me?“I need to figure all this out.” I still didn’t take it as the final score. I lost the game, but I wouldn’t say no to my fate. It was unfair!“Noah!” Jode Hagens came to us. H
*** Flash back*** “I hate the scar which makes you imperfect.” When we finished our sex, Fletcher hugged me and tenderly touched my skin. “It’s pretty ugly, isn’t it?”I softly rubbed it. “How did you get that?”Fletcher was curious but gentle. Somehow, I missed the old version of him. “I don’t actually remember. Just some falling happened in my teens?” “Teens? How dumb you! It’s just a decade of years ago, how could you not remember that?”Fletcher began to tickle me hard. “No! Stop! Fletcher!” I dodged. “Ok. Fine! I’ll tell you the truth.” Fletcher stopped his movement right away. I was a little bit disappointed, “Oh god! You don’t really get over with that, right?” “Well. we should save this moment, Joan. Though it is ugly, you are honest to me about it, which is considered to be a way of trust, isn’t it?”Fletcher took a picture of my scar and I was totally comforted. He didn’t take me as a monster with that scar, I was super flattered. “With this picture, can you tell me what
I gulped. Technically speaking, I got no answer to that. Also, I never thought Noah would have asked me that question. Like Ginger said, I was born in a really really ordinary and shabby family. My mom was just a florist and my dad was a bus driver. I could hardly imagine how much I would pay for him since it was me who hit on him first and it definitely should be me to pay the bill. “The truth is, I got no money. And I just regret reaching you because you even have a bid price, which is totally beyond my imagination.” Noah wasn’t irritated. On the contrary, he even smiled to me and gently responded, “Oh, sorry for that. I think I should have sign it on the homepage of my F******k. As you can remember that you are the one who hit on me first.” Of course I did! How could I ever forget about that! I started getting regretful! Though I knew he was saying that for fun, I still couldn’t calm myself down by just erasing everything that happened between us. “Listen, Noah. I ... em... Th
As a quite ordinary person for my lifetime, Of course I didn’t hear anything about partner bidding before. “Rich people.”I curled my lips. “The most interesting part is coming.” “People are willing to beauctioned?” Noah smiled, and I could see it in his smile that it was a genuine one. He didn't take me as a funny clown or a dumbass. “You're pure as saint water, Jo. It’s really common in Upper East Side.” “Bidding for Girls?” “No. Men are auctioned as well. If you want, dog is OK.” The spotlight was shining all over the hall. The host appeared wildly excited.“Gentlemen, may I have your attention?”He was quite different with a more complex and sophisticated expression. Assistants were busy closing the windows and doors. The dark and dizzy flashlights shot from the ceiling up. “Looks like there's a big move going on here.”The man not far from us said it with much excitement. Judging from his watch on the wrist, he was more like the same social status as Noah. However, I was a
The olive branch Janice had thrown to me was much of a special power to call out all my gossip cells, and they were gearing up for a gossip frenzy. I didn't want to surrender to know more about him, but my brain kept telling me that I had to dig for all of them. Now, I finally understand those who specialize in reporting those gossip and scandal news. Standing in the face of such a famous, handsome, wealthy man with many stories, who could refuse to dig into his all? Seeing my expression a little lost, Janice took a sip of champagne. “You're not the only one he ever brought.” Of course, I wasn't surprised by this. “Sure, I know that.” I lifted the champagne and took a sip. This was no big deal, but in a moment just now, my feelings seemed to change. A tinge of jealousy began to creep up, and I had to drink champagne to supress it. “But you’re the only one who make his eyes light up.”Janice added. I glanced at Noah. His expression was a strange mixture of frustration and excitemen
The scene was a bit chaotic, and I was staring at Ginger. I never expected that this incredibly ridiculous scene from a soap opera would happen to me. Next, Lily rushed in and dragged Ginger away. But this did not stop Ginger from launching a profanity attack on me. “Bitch! Do you really think the seat beside Noah was occupied by you?Don't you dare! You were nothing more than a prostitute smoking next to a streetlight in Upper East Side, and getting you into Noah's bed was the highlight of your life, probably your epitaph.” Lily could not stand Ginger's words and directly covered her mouth. Unexpectedly, Ginger seemed to be stronger than Lily. She pulled away from Lily and then rushed to me again, trying to slap on my face. Luckily,Noah showed up in time to hold Ginger's wrist tightly. “That’s enough! Ginger!” Noah's eyes were fierce and determined. “You bet know what you're doing?” “Noah, she's just the product of a florist and a school bus driver. How could she stand beside you?
Noah's breath was getting stronger, and if I let this go any further, I was afraid this dressing room was gonna turn into a double room of the hotel. “Noah... Calm down...” I whispered in his ear, but he seemed to turn a deaf ear. “This was not a good time.”In an attempt to dissuade him, I even uttered this little remark, implying that, if a better time had come, I would have done as he asked. Luckily, his cell phone in his pants pocket rang. However, he didn't seem to be about to pick it up. His hands were busy running back and forth over the smooth and uncovered nape of my neck. The phone rang again, and Noah slowly regained consciousness. He took the phone out of his pocket, and when he saw the caller ID, he let me go. But he still didn't pick it up. “Thank you, Steve Jobs.” I joked that if he hadn't invented the Iphones, I didn't think anyone could have interrupted great Mr. Hugo at this moment to stop him from making out with me. “Actually, you should thank Martin Cooper.”Noah
Joan’s POV“You seem to be happy right now, didn’t you?" I rubbed my forehead with my hand and stared at Noah calmly. Noah was really crafty, and everything was going his way. "Well...Since you asked, I’m ready to be honest with you. If you promise to be my date tonight right now, I think I'll be crazily happy." He smiled and had no sign to be refused. He was so sure that I would say yes and all what got to be done was indeed got to be done.But it was not obnoxious. I admitted that I was intrigued by his offer. If I were alone right now, I couldn't stop thinking about what would have happened to Fletcher and Karen tonight, which would definitely drive me mad. What’s worst, I just couldn't stop myself thinking that I was a total loser.Sophie was out of city for some business trip, and she's not back in New York until tomorrow. I had no one to share my pain with.Alcohol might be a way to numb me. But I didn't want to do that. Getting drunk for a man who ran off to his affair on his
