Noah's Pov I walked to Jerry's room with the anger of a bull. Did I really mean that little? If she could talk to her man in front of me and tell him she misses him all the time I was there, did I really mean nothing?Jerry was shocked to see me at his door, then he shut it as fast as he could.i knocked again, getting really impatient and annoyed he could actually shut the door in my face. He took a bit before opening his door, his hair scattered and his lips a bit swollen."Come in sir," he wheezed, out of breath. I took a long look at him before walking into his room. It smelled like him, lavender-scented and with a lack of confidence. It looked like I expected it to, neat and without creases, just like him on a daily basis. His laptop was opened, an episode of marvel's Loki playing. I loved marvel. I wished to watch was I was too angry to do anything fun.His bed was the only part of the room that was disorganised. His bedspread scattered and his cover cloth on the floor. If I d
Chapter SixtyEliana’s POVNoah came back last night looking angrier than I’ve ever seen him. After ignoring me, he warned me about crossing my lane, not wanting any embarrassment from his wife to be. I knew he was referring to Ethan.I had to refrain from rolling my eyes. It was getting annoying seeing him pouting all around the place. I was going to do whatever I liked and he didn’t like. And if he was mad, he could punish me later.We were to return home today, away from the sunny climate to one of rain and thunderstorms,at least I would be able to complete my unfinished novels, ones with the type of love I wanted, not one filled with toxicity.We decided to have lunch when we got back , Mr Smith and his crew wanted to finish some assignments before leaving to their own city. Mr Alex stayed back, claiming he wasn’t done enjoying All of Hawaii’s delicacies.Man whore.We all got into the jet then flew back. I instantly missed the warm climate and surely enough, the clouds threatene
Chapter Sixty OneEliana's Pov The feeling of Noah's lips on mine transported me into a world of euphoria. It was filled with so much raw need and urgency, like a much needed drink of water after a week in the desert. In his kiss, I could feel his anger, his rage and his hunger and I returned it with the same energy, mourning what we had and what we can never have. He grabbed my butt and I put my legs around him.He leaned me against the wall then put his lips on my neck, trailing kisses down my body. I held back a moan as his lips hovered on my bra covered nipple, my body shivering in anticipation. I wanted him, no I needed him. He bunched up my dress and in a swift movement, he ripped off my panties, leaving my folds exposed.He lazily grazed a finger on my clit and I cried out, my body wanting more that it hurt. He chuckled, leaving my body before removing his belt. I looked at him, puzzled at the look in his eyes. It scared me, but at the same time excited me."Kneel on the b
Chapter Sixty-twoEliana's Pov Instead of Noah doing what I wanted him to do, he simply stared at my behind and a blush crept unto my face at the feeling of being so exposed in front of him.I was ashamed and mad at myself, one minute I was screaming at him, telling him I hate him and the next I'm tied up for him to do to me as he wished.My pussy throbbed and I could feel myself getting wetter as his eyes lit a path of need on my core. I could feel his eyes bore into me, and I almost cried in pleasure. I'll take this over fighting any day. I'll take Noah being this way with me over anything. I felt another delicious sting on my ass cheek, catching me off guard.I almost moaned at the sensation of pain, the unexpected pleasure coursing through my body."I knew you'd like that." He said, his voice low and husky as he kneaded my stinging flesh with his palm. I tried to control my breathing, not wanting him to know I liked it and I wanted more. "I didn't like anything," I said with
Eliana's Pov Unlike other fights, there were no lingering looks, none at all. I kept my distance, not wanting anything to do with him anymore. I've accepted my fate. We could never work out. I would just be a good wife after the wedding, present for gatherings but absent in his life. It is not like he would notice my absence, he would probably fill the void with supermodels. A part of me wishes we actually could work everything out but from the start, Noah and I have been too much for each other. He was either too hot or too cold and every time it affects me.Things were too complicated, we weren't sure they were worth uncomplicating.He doesn't bother glancing at me when he sees me and at one point, I stopped too. But the space in my heart felt deeper than before.Bella and Anna noticed my absence and they tried to invite me to many outings all of which I declined going to. Till I heard Bella's stiletto heels echoing in the hallway."Ellie boo." Her voice jolted me out of my reve
Eliana's Pov "So I told this guy that I wouldn't be able to do that then he got angry, wore his clothes, and stormed out," Anna said, licking ice cream off her spoon.Bella looked at her, an astonished look on her face, "Are you for real? That dude is disgusting. "I chuckled, "You sure know how to pick the weird ones." I ate a piece of chocolate off my ice cream, the chocolate melting in my mouth the minute it touched my tongue. I was thrilled I came out, despite the whole baby fiasco. It's been ages since I caught up with my girls and now that we were here together, I didn't want to leave. I almost forgot about the previous days and my spirits were lifted.I almost forgot about Noah. A pang appeared in my chest.I swallowed and focused my attention back on what they were talking about."I remember when I was with this Duke-" Bella started but was interrupted by Anna's surprised gasp."You were with a Duke?" She asked, her voice failing to hide her astonishment. "Yes Anna, that
Chapter Sixty-FiveNoah's Pov I listened absently as Jerry rattled off my schedule for the day, his words blending into a blur of background noise. My mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Eliana, her words echoing in my ears.I love you.Those three words. Just three words have caused more damage than one would expect from just three words.They were the first words that echoed in my abyss of a mind.There were the last words I heard before I slept. I thought she was cruel, but that word couldn't begin to describe her.Did she think it was a joke? Was I a joke to her? How would you tell someone you love them when you don't? I thought I was evil for what I did, but this was another degree.I had prided myself on being perceptive, on being able to see through people's facades. But with Eliana, I had been blind to her true intentions. The realisation struck me with a sharp pang of regret and anger.She had taken advantage of my vulnerability, my desire for companionship and affection.
Noah's Pov "Who the hell is that woman?" My voice boomed loudly, the noise of my anger and irritation bouncing off the interior of the car."Oh Jesus, that was so close." He wheezed, trying to catch his breath as fast as he was capable of. He was so unfit and to be honest, I wasn't shocked the slightest. He took a bottle of water from the bottle holder, then sucked the bottle dry.Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, his face contorted with both exhaustion and fear. With trembling hands, he wiped the sweat from his brow and tried to steady himself. The rush of adrenaline coursing through his veins began to subside, gradually allowing him to regain control over his breathing. "Talk to me boy," I said, shaking his shoulder. "Okay, that was my," he took in a lungful of air. "ex".I blinked twice. Jerry, the most quiet and timid guy, with that danger of a woman for an ex? She looked like she could swallow him whole."Are you serious? Are you sure you weren't just her pet?"He lo
