Lola’s eyes dimmed. She could finally see where Noah’s ridiculous assumption of her being an escort had originated from.Noah’s gaze remained on Lola’s as the two stared at each other. One, hoping for an answer, and the other hesitating because the other did not trust her.How could she tell him that she had truly been lured to that stage that night with no option of backing out? How could she explain that she did not have a choice and had done it for her mother when He had already judged her? Disappointment clouded her face at what Noah truly thought of her... A cheap escort. But at this point, Lola no longer cared. Noah was free to think whatever he wanted to about her.When Lola remained speechless, Noah frowned.What did he expect from her? An explanation? She could not even say a word to refute him!“You can’t deny it, can you?” He taunted as more signs of anger clouded his handsomely illustrated features. Lola let out a sad, pained smile. “What does it matter to you anyway?.” W

“Ahem, excuse me.” Richard cleared his throat to draw the attention of the four people away from slitting each other’s throat and to him instead. He had heard Aria’s last line of words and he knew that if the girls were left to continue their banter with these guys who looked like they were re-living their puberty phases, a fight would break out pretty soon.“CEO Kings,” Aria called out. Richard Kings attending their neighborhood party was still a little bit unbelievable to her, but here he was. In flesh and blood. ‘He seems to be close to Maria.’ Aria thought. She made a mental note to find out the facts from Lola later on.“Aria right?.” Richard confirmed as he looked at the brunette-haired girl who had spoken.Aria’s eyes widened. Richard had asked for her name at the clinic when he had come to visit Lola on set, but she did not think he would remember.“Yes. Aria.” She confirmed with a smile.Richard returned her smile and nodded before glancing at Lola who was sitting on the oppo

The large office clock hands ticked as the three suited men in the room waited. Not less than twenty minutes after the man had been summoned, Guy walked into the office room bearing the report from the investigation that Noah had requested on the confiscated tracking devices that were attached to the gifts he’d received from Lola. The tall, well-built man bowed slightly as he walked past John by the door and reached the sitting area of the large office where Tyler and Noah were seated.“The team had examined the devices you brought in boss. It’s a special type which is rare and cannot be purchased easily in this part of the country.” Guy stated. It had taken them a long time to decipher the origin of the tracking devices. They were not the regular types and had also been planted for so long, remaining active without their knowledge until Noah crushed them which was scary.Tyler, who was now more composed after being put straight by Noah stared at his friend from the corner of his eyes

“It’s the ghost nun, Aria!. Hurry!.”“Fuck!. This feels even more authentic than I thought it would be.” Josh said with his eyes still glued on the door.“Aria!. Come on!.” Lola cried in a low, scared voice. She suddenly thought that coming in here with Josh was a bad idea.. maybe she should have sat it out or listened to Aria and stayed back at home for lunch.“Stop shouting okay? I’m doing my best!.” Aria snapped back at the scared Lola before turning back to the book in her hands, but even her hands were shaky and would not keep still.Josh saw this and took the book from Aria. “Don’t worry, let me do this.” He said and turned the book over, shaking it till a small metal key fell from it. A key.The three sighed in relief as Josh picked it up.“Thank goodness. Let’s find the way out, please. I can’t stand this any longer.” Aria said as she hurriedly picked up the map and laid it out on the table.Lola was so scared and was on the verge of tears. All she wanted right now was to get o

The clock’s hands struck midnight yet the man on the bed remained in the same position with the unsealed handwritten love letter in hand, completely lost. The last line of words on the paper made his heart beat ten times faster than it normally would."... It's crazy Noah that I've known you for what? less than two months? How did you do it? How do you make me fall for you so badly? I see the way you look at me... It’s different. I can’t hold this question back any longer Noah...Is this feeling mutual?.. "Lola’s confession letter was short, straight to the point and its words were filled with so many sentiments that threatened to drive him to madness with bafflement.“What's this Lola?." Noah muttered helplessly as he felt his heart squeeze in pain. How was this possible? How could Lola have loved him?"No...no." Noah shook his head sideways in disbelief and let the letter slip from his hands as stood up from the bed swiftly, taking hurried steps backward. A person who loved you wo
