Noah.
I woke up to bright white lights above me, and the sounds of feet scurrying around and children's voices.
My head wasn't aching anymore but there was dull aching from where I've been shot. I groaned before sitting up.
I looked around. I was in a room. A very familiar room. There was more than one bed, about 10, five on both sides of the room. And a small wooden locker in front of each bed. The walls were pasted with pictures and school work. I was at the orphanage I realised, in the boys room.
How had I gotten here? I wanted to ask but there was no one here, the children were either downst
**This chapter is dedicated to Megan Dawn Smith for your amazing comments. I enjoy reading every comment you make, you keep me going. Much love ♥️Noah.I woke up to someone stroking my cheeks. There was a soft music playing in the background and I opened my eyes to meet a pair of blue ones.Blue ones I had once fallen in love with now stared at me with a soft smile. The memories of Andrea kissing me had me sitting up, flinching away from her touch."Glad to see you awake" She said, there was no anger in her eyes this time, instead there was this raw admiration.
Noah.The day of the race had come, the most dreaded day of my life. The day I paid Drew his money and leave this fucking job.The day I choose who I get to keep.Anna or Casey?I walked quickly to the Nest, ignoring the shouts and cheers from the crowds and entering the garage where Theo was washing one of the cars, smiling as he worked.The first siren had gone off signalling that the race would soon begin. I needed to get my car and go out there.
Noah."Do you think maybe me and your daughter could be friends?" Grace had asked me when I left the boys room upstairs in the orphanage leaving screaming Andrea behind."Of course, Casey is really nice" I replied, looking down at the little girl I had been talking to earlier.She dropped her plate of food on the table before frowning and looking at the floor."Would she like me? The mistresses said sometimes I could be nosy" She muttered and I sighed before squatting in front of her and grabbing her face so she looked at me with teary eyes."Grace. You're not nosy, you're just really inquisitive and that's a good thing. Casey's like that too. She's cu
Anna.It's been three days.Three days since I had last seen Noah and Casey, three full days with this psycho, the person who had abducted me to get back at Noah.Two days with my hands tied behind my back, the stench of vomit filling my nose and even though my position has changed. I was lying in the floor, a cold hard floor.He hardly ever came anymore, he only visited once after taking me to the cold room. I was only thankful for not having pissed because I don't think I could handle another stench right now.
Noah.I had the money. All thanks to Ryder, I had won the race and put the car up for auction while borrowing some money from Aaron who I was going to pay later. The bastard hid a stack of money in a duffel bag in his car and he had lent me the amount I needed to free Anna. I hoped to get the car sold so I could start afresh.Then I had called Anna, the abductor had picked up immediately and told me to come to an abandoned Warehouse, and I could hear Anna shouting in the background but I couldn't make out the sentences."Where are you going now?" Ryder asked, moving away from the girls surrounding him as he came to view. I was resting on Aaron's car when he arrived."I need to get Anna now" I replied, opening the bag
This chapter is dedicated to Maricel Francisco for your review. It meant a lot to see someone drop a review after a long time. You're appreciated ♥️Anna.(This chapter was before Noah arrived. Anna's point of view)"I'm going to burn this place to the ground with you and your boyfriend in it" Theo had said and I abruptly stopped breathing.Theo was going to burn this place. The worst way for a human to die, the most painful way to die was by fire and fear suddenly ran down my spine and I started to struggle when he came up to me."Get away from me you bastard!" I screamed but he only smiled before stroking my cheeks and I flinched away
Anna.Andrea was lying.She had to be, because I could hardly believe what she was telling me right now. While my ears heard, and I understood the problem was that I couldn't just take it in. I couldn't phantom what she had just told me.Nish couldn't just leave. But the evidence was staring at me right in the face. Even if she was lying there was no other explanation as to why she was with the necklace. Noah almost never took it off, he bathed with it and slept with it. It was something he was very sentimental about, touching it everytime.And for Andrea to be with it right now, it could only m
Noah.Anna" I heaved, coughing out blood and getting up, clutching my ribs in pain.She wasn't awake, her hands were tied above her, I couldn't see her face Because her hair covered it. Her body was battered, dirty and some wounds were bleeding. She looked so small and fragile hanging up there all alone and my heart broke again."Anna! Can you hear me?! What have you done to her?" I turned to Theo who shrugged before looking up at Anna."Oh nothing, just a blow to the head nothing serious". Theo smiled triumphantly, walking up to me and dangling off his pocket I saw handcuffs."Now, just hold still" He said, swaying his fist to hit be but I dogded, scrambling back only
Noah."Come on Case!" I shouted from the sitting room, grabbing my jacket and looking around to see if I was forgetting anything.It was the Christmas holiday and after the school dance, Anna and I had started looking for a house to buy.Since I technically had a lot of money, I was thinking of moving out of this apartment, somewhere not too far from here, but better for Casey to grow up. And Anna and I had found a small four bedroom apartment just a few miles from school. We were moving in today, the place had also been decorated because we were celebrating Casey's birthday there, it was a surprise and we were already late. Everyone was waiting."I'm coming!" Casey yelled from her room before coming to
Noah."Daddy! Where are you and Anna going?" Casey asked, running into the sitting room with one of her toy cars in hand.It's been three more months of recovery. I could walk now but there was a limping to it. My left hand was still in a cast so it was difficult for me to lift heavy things.I had moved back to my apartment after Anna had gotten it cleaned up from Drew and his men barging in. The furniture had been changed and the doors. According to Anna, Mr Tony had helped to and I thanked him upon my return.It's been three months of trying to catch up with school work so I could graduate. Th
**This chapter is dedicated to Lisa Ann Cooper and Skhush95418 for your awesome review ♥️Noah."I'll go talk to Casey and explain to her properly. You were harsh on her" Anna said, rising from the chair."I didn't mean to. I'm not perfect in raising a kid" I mumbled under my breath, guilt creeping into my heart."I know. I'll be right back. Don't beat yourself up" Anna kissed me in the cheek before leaving me alone in the room.It didn't feel nice to be once again alone with only my mind to keep my
Noah.Anna and I talked all afternoon, and it was nice to sit and talk to someone normal. I couldn't remember when last I had a conversation with someone who I wasn't in a competition with, or who I didn't think of as a father or who I wasn't working for.As I spoke with Anna I found out that I didn't have any life goals. While I didn't want to ponder on that, it burned at the back of my mind mostly because I had someone to cater for now, my daughter.I've always wanted to do whatever I loved, race, hang out with friends and all that teenager shit. But there was now a responsibility on my neck and it wasn't just me anymore. I had Casey now, and I wanted to give her the best life I could.
**This chapter is dedicated to Kristen for your amazing review. Thank you 😊❤️Noah.It's a scary thing, passing out.There's no dreams. No nightmares. No memories.Just pure darkness. I felt like I was wrapped in thick black velvet and I would never get untangled from it. It felt like forever when I heard this strange sound. It took me a moment to realize it was breathing as I focused harder on it.Gentle, soft, maybe just a bit shaky, breathing.
Anna.It's been two weeks.And a lot has happened. For one Noah hadn't still woken up, my aunt said he's going to be in a coma for a while. And while I waited patiently by his side, I still had to catch up on a lot of things that had changed.For one, Casey and Drew. While we were all thinking Drew was an insufferable asshole who ate kids for breakfast, he was actually soft when it came to Casey.You don't understand. Hold on, let me explain.The night it all happened, Andrea died, Noah and I were trapped in the
Anna."NOAH!!!!!" I screamed, I managed to get my leg working as I ran to Noah falling down in front of him as my hand ran down his face.There was a huge gash on the side of his forehead, blood ran down his nose and the corner of his mouth. His body was bent in an awkward angle with his arms spread out.My vision blurred and stung as I struggled to breathe raising Noah's head to my laps"Noah! Stay with me please!" I cried, running my hand through his face to keep his eyes open. But they couldn't even focus on me. It was like he was staring at me but not seeing me.
Noah."Hello son" The man who abandoned me, my father said, coming to my side. A silver of anger shot through me but I swallowed it down watching as he stepped into the warehouse, narrowly avoiding the fire he glanced at the handcuffs and took out a screwdriver from his pockets."No! Get Anna first. There's a lever just at the side of the wall, don't drop her yet instead pull her towards you then slowly drop her. I swear if you hurt one hair on her head you will surely regret it!" I said through gritted teeth and my father frowned before making his way towards Anna who looked surprised as well glancing between us but not uttering a word.What was he doing here?How did he find us?
Noah."She was in the way. Stupid bitch being ruled by her emotions" Theo spoke, tucking his gun back at the back of his jeans before stepping away from the fire that burned between us. The heat made me sweat profusely.I couldn't speak nor move the handcuffs hurt but not as the pain accelerated in my heart. I could hardly breathe against the smoke making its way through my lungs."I met her just a day ago, asking me how to get you back. But even I didn't have an answer to that. But when she found out I had taken Anna she decided to join in the crusade. What she didn't know was that I want you dead Noah. Not gone far away, but dead. You and everyone you love" Theo laughed.
