Eliana’s POV I woke up earlier than Noah, carefully detaching my body from his possessive grip. The soft songs from tropical birds outside our window filled the air, and the opened glass doors of the balcony let in the calming morning dew from the ocean. The gentle rays of the morning sun casted a warm glow on Noah. His peaceful face, framed by tousled dark hair, was a sight that never failed to make my heart beat. Every minute with him was a different life time filled different feelings, none of which I would trade for the world. I placed a soft kiss on his forehead before walking to the balcony. The tropical breeze caressed my skin, carrying with it the sweet fragrance of blooming flowers. I inhaled a gulp of the air and let out a sigh, a smile finding its way to my lips. Noah’s love brought light I never knew I lacked into my life. He was my safe haven, my safe space. With him, I could be whatever I wanted to be. He made me happy. I am happy. I really hope I could always be happy
Eliana’s PovWe finished up our breakfast and after a silly argument on who would clear the plates, which I won, and I sat at the balcony while he went to the kitchen till I felt pressed enough to use the bathroom. I opened the bathroom door and walked in. It was like any other bathroom in a hotel, nothing in it really standing out to me as I looked around apart from the fact that there was another door to the left of the bathroom. I eased myself then out of curiosity I tried turning the knob of the door and to my delight it opened, leading me to a room with a full wall window which showed the amazing view of the ocean.Opposite the window, there was a floor jacuzzi, and I almost squealed in delight. I loved jacuzzis. There were large unlit candles and rose petals around. There was a mini bar with wine of all sorts.A wall separated the jacuzzi area and led to a little room with a bed in it, connected directly to the jacuzzi area. I walked back to where the jacuzzi stayed, and I i
Noah’s POV After playing in the sand, I decided to take Eliana to one of the best restaurants in the Caribbean. She was happy. Saying things about loving exotic food.She wore a yellow themed beach dress and had a flower in her hair. Her smile was infectious as we left the beach house, and every time I looked at her, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.She was mine. This beautiful piece of art was mine.We arrived at the restaurant, and the sound of steel drums served as a backdrop for the mood and automatically made the atmosphere lively. The aroma of fresh seafood and spices danced through the air, making our mouths water. The waitress dressed in a tropical themed shirt ushered us to our table, the one with a view of the ocean, and we could see the sun setting into the ocean."This place is beautiful. " Eliana gushed as she looked around. I agreed, taking her pretty fingers in mine, "All these pales in comparison to your beauty. " Her face reddened as she blushed, adding m
Eliana’s POV Days have passed since we first got here, our days filled with adventure and our nights filled with sleep because we were always exhausted, but we made up for it in the shower.It was our last day here, and we decided to spend it in the beach house. We still haven't used the jacuzzi, Noah said he was keeping the best for last. I wasn't complaining. He was preparing the jacuzzi, and I relaxed in the balcony, the wind moving through my hair. I sighed, smiling as I surrendered to the wind. We were going to leave tomorrow, but I wasn't looking forward to going back to civilisation.I already asked if I could live here, but Noah mentioned a million reasons why I couldn't leave him in the city.So I had no choice but to go with him unless I wanted him to risk having a broken lower body if I left him, his words not mine. After a while, I got up, changing into my bikini. It wasn't anything special, just a two-piece.I didn't do anything with my hair, and I patiently waited for N
Noah’s POVWe got back to the house, tired and stressed from the jet lag, barely pulling off our clothes before falling unto the bed.We took a long nap and woke up to see it was late. Eliana smiled at me, her sleepy eyes harbouring a glint, "Should we watch a movie?" She asked, and that's exactly what we did.We watched a couple of movies, then in the middle of the fourth one, Eliana's tiny hands found their way to my dick, and we ended up having a sex marathon. Who knew that innocent girl was a freak underneath?We slept off naked and in each other's arms, the bedt place to be.I woke up and the first thing i saw was her face. She was still asleep but i didnt mind, her pretty face something I always wanted to wake up to.I kissed her lips and stroked her hair softly, basking in the luxury of a peaceful morning.My phone buzzed at the table but I didn't care, still enjoying the warmth of being with Eliana on the bed but the buzzing continued tirelessly. Ugh, who could be calling me t
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
Eliana's Pov The car stopped in front of a house surrounded with perfectly groomed flowers. The house itself had two floors and large windows. 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. It felt like a home, welcoming and comforting. Of course, I wasn't in the best mood, so I didn't pay as much attention as I probably should have.My new home. 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
Chapter 26AlexNoah didn't take it well. As expected. He even broke my nose and jaw because of it.I understood. Not only did I break his trust by fucking his sister who I swore to protect, I didn't tell him when it started. Thankfully, Eliana was there to calm him down or else I wouldn't have had a face anymore.Things were stiff between us the first few days, then he accepted it. Said he couldn't have trusted anyone else to be with his sister if not me.Things were perfect between Bella and I. Linda reached out to Bella, and made her not only an ambassador but the manager of a new division that was opening here in the city.Bella was excited. She flopped the first meeting, but Linda said basically what Laura of Pearls said. Bella was self dependent, and that's what truly mattered. I on the other hand never felt happier. She was all that mattered to me and being with her has made everyday of my life better than the last. We had crazy sex, every orgasm better than the last.I loved h
Bella's Pov Alex smiled at me, his thumb cleaning off the lone tear that escaped my eye. "I said I love you, Bella."Say something! My brain screamed at me and I recovered from the shock. "Why?" 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. If you don't feel this way, it's okay. I just want you to know that, my heart's yours, even if you don't wa
Chapter 24BellaNoah was shocked when I asked him to replace my guard. He wanted to know what happened, but I wasn't giving him any explanation. I didn't want to think about anything. 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
Chapter 23Alex's POV"You know I can see through you, right?" 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
Chapter 18BellaWe met the pearls crew in Dubai. They were all so nice and friendly. 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
