I called my friends to invite them to drink, but only Ian and Jet were available. We are in a high-end bar a few blocks away from the hospital. We are sitting at the bar while drinking.
“What the fuck, man?!” Ian exclaimed. I told them the story about the case I filed against Noelle’s dad. My lawyer confirmed it to me. Seven years ago, I called him and instructed him to file the case. “Why did you do that!?” Ian added.
I shake my head before sipping my drink. “I have no idea, Ian. I can’t remember anything I did that day.”
“So, you are the reason why Noelle’s dad died?” Jet asked. It is what I suspect. I think I am the reason behind his death.
The fact that I filed a case against the man I adore is enough for me to feel terrible. “I don’t know,” I answered.
“Why don’t you ask Noelle about it?” Jet asked. “Wait,

N O E L L EI was sitting on the wooden chair in the garden when Maxwell finally arrived with a cup of coffee. We had our lunch together, and we decided to hang out here for a while until our break time ended.I am observing Levi and Doctor Young, who are talking on the second floor of the building. I can see them from the garden, and I think they are talking about a serious matter. “What is it?” Maxwell followed my gaze, and his eyebrows knitted after seeing where I was looking at. “I’ve been seeing them together lately.” He said, and I nodded.“I think Levi is distancing himself from me,” I announced, and Maxwell looked at me with disbelief. I chuckled at his reaction. “He was trying to avoid me these past few weeks, and I think it is because of dad,” I explained.“What do you mean?” He suddenly seemed nervous.I pat his shoulder while shaking my head. “It st

N O E L L E“Should I really go? I prefer eating dinner with you and Noah.” I groaned after complaining about Doctor Young’s invitation to dine out this evening. The whole team of the neurosurgery department will come.“Come on, Elle. You have to go out and have fun once in a while.” Maxwell said. “I will wait for you to go home. I’ll be here in the hospital until nine in the evening, so don’t worry about me.”“Noah will wait for us. He would probably be asleep once we got home.”“I’ll call mom to inform Noah about us coming home late. He will understand, Elle.” He said as he fixed my loose hair strands. “Loosen up, Elle. It won’t make you less a mother if you attend some team dinner out.” He said, and I sighed in frustration.“Okay. I’ll go.” I said, and he nodded.It’s Friday night, and all of us in

N O E L L ENoah is ready to go to his first match. He is very enthusiastic about it. I don’t even know if he slept well last night. Maxwell and I are wearing the same jersey shirt that Noah is wearing. “Let’s go, Hughes team!” Maxwell shouted, and I chuckled. Our jerseys have big HUGHES at the back, and I find it cute.“Let’s take a picture before heading out,” I said, and mom took the picture for us. Mom also joined us in a picture, and I took several shots. Maxwell posted it in his Instagram account with a caption, my son’s first soccer match. He is such a proud dad.The stadium is packed with the audience when we get there. “Good luck, baby. Do your best!” I said before kissing his forehead, and he smiled at me.“Do your best and have fun, son. I love you!” Maxwell said before pulling Noah into a hug.“I love you too, both!” He said before runni

Noah and his parents started to leave the stadium before we could reach their spot. “Oh, they are leaving,” Tom said. “They seem in a hurry.” He added.My eyebrows knit together while looking at Noah’s parents. They are facing their back on us, but I can’t deny the fact that they look familiar to me. I think they resemble some people I know.They had already left when we reached dad’s spot. I did not even get a chance to congratulate Noah. “Dad,” I called him, and he turned to face me.“Levi! What are you doing here?” I looked at him in confusion when I noticed something strange in his reaction. Why do I feel like he is expecting to see me?“I’ve watched the game with my friends.” My friends greeted him, and he smiled at them. “How about you?” I asked as I studied his facia

L E V I“Good morning, sir.” Allen greeted me while I was staring at my computer screen. “The documents from your lawyers have arrived. It needs a signatory from Doctor Lewis. Would you like me to look and ask her to sign these papers?” He asked, and I shook my head.“Place it on my table. I will look and talk to her personally.” I said, and he nodded.A week had passed since Noah’s game, and I still couldn’t forget what dad said about settling down and giving him grandchildren. I couldn’t possibly do that in just a year. He can’t possibly give all of his wealth to Noah, right? Dad must be joking when he said that.I sigh while pinching the bridge of my nose in frustration, and stress. I haven’t seen Noelle since their department’s dinner. I have to see her. I need to talk to her.I know she clearly tells everyone that she is in love and in a relationship with

L E V I“Good morning, dad.” I greeted him as I sat on the chair.“I always get surprised every time you join me for breakfast.” He commented, and I chuckled. “Do you need something from me?” He asked and eyed me suspiciously.“You really know your son very well,” I said before sipping a hot coffee.He let out a deep sigh before folding the newspaper he is holding and placing it on the table. “What is it?” He asked as he ate his food.“I saw Noah yesterday,” I said, and I noticed that he froze on his track, but he immediately composed himself. Dad is getting weirder and weirder. I wonder if he is hiding something from me.“Where did you meet Noah?” He asked as he cleared his throat.“I met him in the supermarket. He was with her grandma.” I replied, and dad let out a deep sigh. I looked at him with eyebrows knitted together

They even brought two boxes of pizza and drinks. “What do you think of my office, you idiots!” I yelled in annoyance, and they all just laughed at me.“Chill, dude. We are all bored, and since you are not available to come with us, we decided to come to you instead. Aren’t we amazing friends?!” Jet said, and I groaned in frustration.“Can’t you see I’m busy?” I asked, and they just all ignored me.

N O E L L EI am crying endlessly until the doctor let me see Maxwell. “M-Maxwell…” I cried more when I saw him. He is sitting on the hospital bed while the side of his body is wrapped by a bandage. I walked towards him and checked his body. “A-Are you alright? Is it still hurting?” I worriedly asked.“No. I’m fine. It’s just a scratch.” He said as he tried to chuckle. “Please stop crying, Elle. I am not dying.” He said.“How could you laugh and joke around like that?!” I shouted at him in frustration, and he chuckled.“He is not dying, but his wound is not a scratch as well. The knife pierced him half of its length. It’s a deep wound, but luckily it missed his internal organ.” The doctor said, and I sighed in relief. “I will give you a prescription for the medicine you need to take. I already gave him a pain killer. You may go home in a

N O E L L E“Chairman, what is this?” I asked as I showed him the envelope I was holding. He sent this document to me yesterday, and I couldn’t help but go to his office to ask it personally.Maxwell and I got shocked after reading what the document was all about. The chairman asked me to sit first, and I did. We settled on the couch while I was trying to calm myself down.Chairman and Levi have been taking Noah to their weekly vacations, shopping spree, dinner parties, company events, and corporate meetings. Maxwell and I agreed that we would let them have time with Noah, but this time it was different.“Noah doesn’t need to be a shareholder of your company, Chairman.” I finally said after letting out a deep sigh.“Noelle, it is for his future.” He answered, and I smiled slightly. The document they sent us was proof that Noah was an official shareholder of Mitchell Corporation. Chair

You were a good swimmer!” He only wore goggles when we swam to see the corals. “I did not know that you could swim at your age,” I added. I was really amazed by this child.“My mom taught me how to swim when I was three years old. She told me that I could use swimming in saving lives, saving my life, and enjoy the beauty of nature.” He said, and I nodded in agreement.“She was right. I’m glad Noelle taught you that. What other extracurricular activities have you tried so far?”“I have tried Martial arts, chess, soccer, art, horseback riding, and cooking.” He enumerated, and I was surprised.I looked at him in disbelief. “Seriously?

Dad nagged me to take a break from work and go on vacation.However, I wasn’t aware that he planned on taking Noah with us. He kept telling me to know Noah and spent time with him. I got confused and weird about it, but I let it slide. I think he is just really fond of Noah.“I am one hundred percent sure, son. I wasn’t able to sleep last night because of excitement. I am looking forward to these two days' vacation with Noah.” He stated while smiling from ear to ear. I can clearly see his excitement about this trip.He wants to go to the beach, so we are going to our nearest beach house. I haven’t been there since I was a kid. It was one of my mom’s favorite vacation destinations, and I had a lot of happy

L E V IWhen I came into Noelle’s private room, I saw Noah hugging her while crying. Noelle is caressing his back and saying comforting words to stop him from crying.Maxwell is sitting beside Noelle on the hospital bed. I felt like something struck my heart when I saw them holding each other hands. Maxwell’s eyes are soft and full of emotions for Noelle. They are a perfect picture of a happy family.I realized what I lost when I decided to choose Vanessa. It’s a fucking mistake. I should have on Maxwell’s position. I should have a son like Noah.I let out a deep sigh as I tried to stop the tears from falling from my eyes. I am getting emotional. It’s so fucking unmanly, but heck, I am so fucking hurt. I wonder if Noelle felt the same way when I leave her.“Levi…” I got back to my senses when I heard Noelle’s voice. I found them looking at me. “Are you alright?” She

I can only curse inside my head and drink all the available alcoholic drinks in this bar.“Levi, calm down. Tell us what is going on so we can help you.” Jet said. I invited them to drink after I confronted Maxwell about Noah.I still couldn’t believe what I heard. It is impossible. It’s insane.My head is all over the place. I cannot think clearly, and all I know is I feel betrayed. I feel like I lost all the courage and hope that maybe… just maybe, I can still have Noelle.My chest is hurting so fucking much. I am disappointed and dismayed. I like Noah, but I never thought he was Noelle and Maxwell’s son. I was stunned and dumbfounded earlier when Maxwell told me that he was Noah’s dad. How can fate be this cruel?“Levi, stop drinking. What is going on?&

M A X W E L L“Daddy!” Noah shouted while crying as he ran towards me. Mom is running after him. I stand up and spread my arms. We hugged each other when he reached me. “Where is mommy?” He asked as he sobbed. I caressed his back, trying to comfort him with my presence.“Mommy is sleeping. She got tired after the operation.” I explained, but he cried louder.“Mom, what are you doing here?” I asked my mom as she panted hard.“Noah couldn’t stop crying from the moment you left until we got home. I did anything to make him stop crying, but it did not work. So, I took him here to see his mom.” She explained, and I nodded.I feel sorry for my son. He easily understands everything that is happening to him. I guess he understands what I said about his mom’s condition.“Noah, stop crying. You don’t want your mom to see you like this, right?

Mom and Noah took good care of me while I was resting at home. I think they deserve a treat. Noelle is on duty at the hospital, but we are planning to wait for her here in the mall.Mom, Noah, and I watched a Marvel movie, and then we ate at mom’s favorite restaurant even though Noah was complaining that he did not want to eat there. “Mom always takes you to your favorite fast-food chain, so you have to let her eat at her favorite restaurant this time,” I said, and Noah nodded.“You are such a good boy, son,” I said as I patted his head.“It’s because you are such a good man, dad. I am so lucky that you are my dad.” He said while smiling, and his eyebrows moved up and down. I chuckled at him.“Your compliment is creep
