Noah's POVI woke up with a spin on my head; it was as if my head was gonna split into two any moment from now. I tried to massage my temple while studying my environment. Of course, I don't need magic to know this is Racheal's room, but how did I get here? I guess that would be a question for another day.I twitched my face to the effect I got on scouting around for Racheal since I was supposed to wake up with her by my sides, and I felt slightly embarrassed for my wish because I didn't think I deserved that. Before I could go on drowning myself in my dad's thoughts, I waved it off with my palm resting on my forehead, avoiding unnecessary craning or twisting around.Before I could raise myself out of the body, the sudden brush of my hands against the lamp deck made me realize Rachael cared for me, leaving great guilt in me.She doesn't deserve me, She deserves someone far better than I was. I winced in pain at the sudden reminder from my head not to waste any more time pondering on m

Rachel's POV*The ringing of my phone shattered the silence of my office, and I glanced at the screen. It was Noah, calling from his private number. My heart raced at the sight of his name, but a wave of frustration washed over me. Why was I feeling this way? I thought I knew what he wanted, what we wanted—but now it felt confusing and distant, like trying to grasp smoke.I had been wrestling with my emotions lately. Noah wouldn’t stop calling and sending me sweet messages, but they felt like empty gestures, unable to soothe the gnawing emptiness inside me. It stung to think that maybe he only wanted our child, Ariella, and that felt so selfish. It twisted in my stomach, a knot of resentment and longing.Today was Wednesday, and I knew Noah would have picked Ariella up from school. I missed her more than I could put into words. The separation was unbearable; I wanted to hold her, to feel her warmth against me. The weekends felt too far away, and I ached for the moments when we could a

KIM'S POV"You are insane!!"She said in an outburst not shocking me at all."Well, my big sister here .....oh sorry half big sister has impressed me and now I couldn't help not to give her a round of applause.""If you want to be the b*tch you are and also think bigger than your tiny brain, I would suggest you walked out of here just the same way you walked in.........I thought you had gotten more reasonable than I left you which made me allow your entrance but right now I am so disappointed. Mrs Houston hasn't done a great job"I almost snapped at her with the mention of my mom she dragged me into all this but I suddenly remembered I was still in the office and that wouldn't be a good impression on me."Enough of this insult, think Kim. Your coming here wasn't for this.......You are more prepared than this " I screamed inwardly at myself while locking my gaze which she averted only to tell me to close the door behind me.****Rachael's POV.Noah called me to ask if I saw the live in

Noah's POV.I know the moment Racheal came in here, there was something under her sleeves but I decided to feign pretense as I had no idea of what she wanted to do."Did I hear her wrongly when she told me Kim came to her office?""oh shit" I cursed inwardly while still trying to maintain my calm demeanor not letting my emotion leak out into my countenance.Kim was one of the reasons I had to go on with my plan to broadcast my relationship and propose in my live interview with the TVC news.I was delighted when she told me she was going to let me be and leave my life, of course, I should have known that woman was just bluffing. I know how big a threat Kim was to my marriage or my relationship with Racheal and that's why I have to act up as fast as possible least when Racheal comes to realize the truth it would be easier to calm her down."Did I love her?"....."Yes, I love her enough to marry her especially when Kim wouldn't stop proving how wrong of me to have that soft spot for her a

RACHEAL'S POVI woke up to the sound of my phone alarm only to switch it off immediately so as not to wake Ariella up, I glanced at little Ariella who wrapped herself in a protective nature to me with her little finger hanging around my waist."She was just so beautiful" I muttered while studying all the facial illustrations of her face starting from her fringe which seemed lighter in brown compared to the hair which looked so brown......She took her brown hair from Noah, which even made it difficult for me to conceal and resulted in me preventing her meeting with Noah.I chuckled lightly as Noah's flushed face came to my mind. She barged into our room when the tension was so heated between Noah and me, that we were close to resuming back our kiss while her sudden outburst into the room dismantled our position. Even when Noah was quick to mask his expression....it was still obvious to little Ariella which she deliberately spotted out."Mom, why is daddy's face so red like the big to
