Eliana’s POV

Noah’s jaw ticked as he dropped the call, face hard as stone and his blue dark eyes empty like a bottomless pit.

I flinched as he punched the wall, his icy gaze landing on me, the muscle on his forehead pulsing as his eyes bored into me. I swallowed hard. He knew. Oliver told him.

"What's going on?" I squeaked, finding courage to speak.

"Eliana, " my name rolled out of his tongue, void of any of the warmth I was used to. "I'll ask just one question," he said, walking to the window.

The silence as I swallowed echoed in my ears and I tried to focus on something other than my anxiety.

"What's the question?" I stuttered, my voice betraying my emotions. I was confused and scared of everything. What was going on? Why was Oliver doing this?

"What did Oliver want?" I added, my voice coming out more confident than it did earlier.

"That's none of your business, Eliana." He spat, his previously cold eyes now blazing with fire as he glared at me, hatred filled in the eyes that

    Noah’s POV Oliver's maniac laughter echoed as I tried to keep my emotions at bay. He was enjoying this. Too much. He was enjoying the thing that made me hurt, and my mind felt foggy, plagued with guilt and anger. Just yesterday I laid in her arms, thinking of how to be with her forever. Just yesterday and now, I had to let her go.For my mum, who was the reason I met her in the first place."Hmm that was so entertaining to listen to." He gushed about the break up. "Eliana is so stupid, how would you beg for someone to stay?" He asked like he didn't break us up.I couldn't bare any of the trash he was saying so I shut him up with a question, my voice sounding foreign to my ears. I was numb , I could barely feel my face."Where should I pick my mother up?" He chuckled again, "She's already home." I hastily cut the call and sped dial my father, who answered af the first ring. His first words to me were, "she's home." He sounded so happy, his woman was back, maybe injured and battered

It looked nice and simple, but one could tell it cost a lot to be owned.It was beautiful. Homey. From the outside. I stepped out of the car, and I was impressed by the beauty of it all.

A home without Noah.Jerry and my bodyguard, Roger, helped me with my things while I wordlessly walked into the house. It had a beautiful interior, so stunning with the themes beige and white, the colours I loved. I could tell a lot of thoughts went to designing this place just for me, and I could feel my eyes watering.I tool in the paintings on the walls, my hand skimming over the surfaces lightly. A picture caught my eye, and I gasped, taking it in. It was a picture of me, one of the pictures that

    Eliana’s POV Bella and Anna left the next day. My thoughts became too loud. I wanted to go see Noah, maybe beg him. But I already hurt that family enough. He didn't want to see me. He might have not opened the letter I wrote to him. I sighed into the darkness of my new room. The blinds were so think, it prevented rays of sun from entering. Just how I like it. It was four in the evening and it looked like it was midnight. The room was a beautiful room with the same themes white and beige. There was a large bookshelf filled with the books on my to be read list. Noah must have been snooping around to find out about that. There was a room connected to this one. It was a space for making garments. There were different machines that we fashion designers needed and there were mannequins ready for use.There were also different garments of different types enough to start a business. When I discovered the room, I burst into tears, again. Noah put in a lot of thought into this place. It was

I thought of a hundred ways that day could have gone without me hurting Eliana and and Fifty ended up with my mum getting killed by that maniac and the other ended up with, also my mum getting killed. It had to be done but why did I feel like shit? Why did I feel empty? Why did I feel like the only thing that made me happy has been taken from me?That's because it has been taken away from me, or rather, she has been taken away from me. Seeing her break down as I said those words haunted me, and knowing that she must be beating herself up for something like that wrecked me. Hearing she told him about the cont

They didn't expect that me who was crying into my pillow would be the same me to pick up the phone and then make a call."Hey guys," I said and they replied the confusion and worry still etched on their faces. "Hey," they replied and it sounded more like a question than a greeting."Guys I found a space today."Bella smiled, "You left your house today, that's great. Do you feel better?" I grinned, showing them the space but they could only focus on Bree, "Awwn look at that c

"I've seen this in a movie before. He is tapped into the cameras on the streets.""Wow," Anna said, and they all turned to look at her. She raised her hands in surrender, "It is impressive, to be honest. ""Whatever." She said and then got up to meet me, "Eliana," she said, patting my head, "I'm sorry you had to see that.""I thought he loved me," I said as I stopped crying and sat up.Bella wrapped her hands around me, "He does."I shook my head, "Didn't you see him with that, babe?

But I couldn't stay mad at her. I just hope she's right.I hope you still love me Noah, and yesterday has a good enough explanation if we would ever be together again. If you would ever forgive me for the contract.

I asked, whispering, afraid that the moment might end if I was too loud.He chuckled softly, "Why? You are perfect. Compassionate and beautiful. You light up a room with your presence. A perfect example of beauty and brains. I could go and on, but those wouldn't still explain why I have fallen in love with you.""But I'm impulsive and inconsiderate. We haven't known eachother for long…""You aren't impulsive and inconsiderate. You are passionate and driven. The things you see as faults, aren't faults at all. And we haven't known each other for long, but it feels like I've known you forever.""But, but…" I stammered but he placed a finger on my lips, shutting me up. "But nothing, Bella.

I immersed myself into my work, creating more content for the brands I worked with and spent the other days drinking. I didn't want to leave my home. I didn't want to stumble on Alex.That night felt like a bad dream. I hated myself for believing Antonia. Even Fiona didn't want me there.I should have maintained my pride. I should have walked away when the drinks poured on me. I should have never made that deal. Maybe, just maybe…I brushed that thought away, taking a gulp of my wine. I didn't want to feel anymore. I didn't want to regret anything anymore.Maybe I should have listened to Alex. Maybe I shouldn't have said those words. Maybe I shouldn't have let my lack of judgement and frustration coupled with jealousy get into my head.I hated Antonia. And seeing her wrapped around him with her lips on

I said with a smile as Antonia spoke about how hard it was to be related to a legend.She gasped, placing a hand on her chest, "What do you mean Alex?"I chuckled, playing with my dinner knife, "I know you have a plan to ruin things for Bella."Her eyes widened and she laughed, hard. "I knew there was a reason I liked you."I chuckled, "I see through snakes like you. Now, it would be wise if you stop whatever you are planning. "Bella came, her eyes emotionless as she saw Antonia giggle. She was going to take it the wrong way. But did she even care? Did she care enough to lose sweat over whatever I do? She was so driven by her career, I loved that about her. But she was willing to ruin what we had for something that was obviously a trap. She didn't care if after this, I would keep my distance far away from her.It didn't matter to her, all that mattered was this opportunity to meet her idol and become an ambassador for th

    Chapter 22Bella.The trip back home was the worst. Alex and I still didn't talk to each other. That continued even after we got home. We barely spoke when I wanted to go out, and I only went out once. The week was the worst as I planned on how I would style my dress for the wedding at the end of the week.I tried to distract myself by meeting up with Eliana after my brother rudely asked for me to help her get ready for their date. He looked suspiciously happy, and I was happy for him.She wasn't in a good stare because of what went on with Oliver, but by the time we partnered up to make her gorgeous, she forgot all about the incident and focused only on her date with Noah.Something was up with that relationship, one minute they look like they want to kill each other, then the next they look like they can't wait to be in the room together. Eliana always blushes when we talk about sex. One would think she was a virgin but knowing my brother, that was next to impossible. Unless the un

    Chapter 21Bella's Pov The dinner party started twenty minutes before we got there. Alex and I got to the hotel two hours before the time for the party to start, and that wasn't nearly enough time for me to get dressed.Alex was ready ages ago and actually offered to help inform me that I wasn't going to take much time,but I explained to him that I had to be fashionably late or I wouldn't be taken seriously. He decided to just leave the room since he was feeling restless. I wore a sparkly deep blue mermaid sequins dress with a high slit. It was off the shoulder, my cleavage evident but not spilling. I made my hair into waves and swept it to a side, then wore my jewellery which consisted of dangling earrings, rings and a little bracelet. Wore my silver heels and after doing my soft yet fierce make up, I was ready to go.I walked in front of the large mirror, a smile on my face as I checked myself out. I twirled in the mirror. The door opened and Alex stepped in, clad in his muscle

    Chapter 20Bella's Pov I walked into the room with my robe on. Alex was already under the covers, turned away from my side of the bed. I let out a silent sigh as I wore my night wear and crawled under the covers.Looking at his back, I couldn't judge if he was asleep or not. I tapped on his shoulder, "Alex?" No reply. I tapped him again and I felt him grab my arm."Wha…" I didn't have time to process what was happening as he pulled me into his arms."Alex, you could have told me you wanted to cuddle." I giggled, laying in his chest.He scoffed, "I don't want to cuddle. I just want to steal your warmth.""Deceive yourself all you want, but I know you are obsessed with me." I tapped his nose and he rolled his eyes."Whatever makes you sleep, butterfly." He muttered into my ear and we fell into a deep silence.A lot was going through my mind. What are we doing ? Why did he feel offended when I said what I said about him?Was I wrong? Was it just my fear talking? What if I was getting

    Chapter 19 Bella’s Pov It was seven o'clock, and I was dressed and adorned for our first shoot. Alex sat beside me in our car as we trailed behind Pearl's crew closely to the venue. I felt a lot more confident, like the real Bella people saw. Beautiful, fierce, unbreakable. All thanks to the one man I never knew could make me feel so beautiful, so seen. I blushed as I remembered events that happened earlier today in the dressing room while I was getting ready, his head between my legs as he handed his daily meal. He ate pussy better and more passionately than anyone I’ve ever met. And while I wobbled out of the dressing room to show the crew my look, he whispered assumingly dirty words to me like, “I so want to fuck you with that dress bunched around your waist.” Somehow, he managed to make that statement sweet by adding how beautiful I looked after saying that. And I felt beautiful, not just because he said so. He showed it, he made me love every one of my insecurities by mentio

I couldn’t meet Laura personally but I met her assistant, who led us to the hotel where they already booked a room for us. It was a majestic five-star hotel to my taste, crawling with rich Arab men and beautiful women.Even Alex was impressed about this fact after criticizing the kind of plane ticket they bought for us, hence why we had to go on his private jet instead.The room was just how we wished it could be. It was a suite adorned with luxurious furnishings and breathtaking views of the city skyline.We settled in the suite after a brief arrangement to meet early tomorrow morning for our shoot. We had the whole day to rest.Alex was already in the suite when I walked in with a towel on his waist and water dripping down his chest.“Hey,” he greeted, taking my attention off his chest and to the teasing smirk on his face as he caught me checking him out. “I could pose for a picture if you like,” h
