Noah's POV."Stop the car Racheal, stop being tough and stubborn!" "What! Stubborn and tough!...... What the fuck are you saying, Noah, you went ahead to seduce one of my employees, and you went ahead to drown yourself in the solace of alcohol reeking of it, and you just tell me I am acting STUBBORN!!!" "What!, is that what that bitch told her!" I screamed Internally as Rachael stepped on it in anger causing us to jerk forward.I could see her chest rising up and down; she looked so scary and beautiful when she was angry.I knew the only way to get ahead of this was to solve it before getting home; I wouldn't be taking this in front of Ariella."Ask your questions, Racheal, and you should calm down..... uh. I am not drunk; I had some cup of whiskey, but not enough to make me drunk."Her rage hasn't calmed down yet, and I could see that; I know I have to tell her about Rayla, but not now, and denying that I did not go back there to seduce that girl means I would have to give her the

Mike's POVI laid her down on my bed before removing her long coat. Her cleavage came into view, and I found myself gulping as a lump formed in my throat. It had been so long since I was with someone, especially since Noah and Racheal got together. Just seeing her like this almost made me lose control.I removed her sandals and covered her up with a duvet, feeling a rush of emotions. We had spent a long time together, and I appreciated every second. She was full of energy, and for once, I forgot all about my nightmares. Now, I was afraid to sleep.I decided to take a quick shower, changing into something comfortable: a pair of shorts and a casual top. After checking on Rayla one last time, I marched out of the room toward the wine cellar next to the television set. I reached for my favorite wine, which also happened to be Noah's."Can't sleep?" Rayla's voice startled me. She had been here before, in a bathrobe, yet I had never felt this attracted to her until now. She looked so innoc

Noah's POVWe got home late, almost morning, and found Ariella asleep on the couch, probably waiting for us to return. I felt a pang of guilt for keeping her up, but I was too exhausted to dwell on it. Despite sleeping late, I woke up early, my stomach growling like a feral beast. Drinking on an empty stomach had its consequences, and the hangover hit me like a freight train, leaving me wincing in pain.Rachael stirred at the sound, noticing my discomfort. Before I could say a word, she picked up her phone and called Mike, asking what she could cook for me. How did she know I loved porridge for my hangover? The last time she made me soup, it barely touched the pain, but it was a nice gesture nonetheless.I heard her hang up, and moments later, Rayla’s voice came through the speaker. Rachael climbed down from the bed, disappearing through the door. A few minutes later, she returned with a steaming bowl of rice porridge, the aroma wafting toward me, making my mouth water.“Seems a lot

Kim's POVTime flew so fast; it had been three days since I was discharged. I couldn't bring myself to meet Kelvin, and I knew that was wrong. "I’ve decided to act on what Noah said. I will accept his proposal, and I’ll do it for his mom," I thought, gathering my resolve.I dressed in a flowing dress that hugged my growing belly, took my long coat from the hanger, and checked my reflection in the mirror one last time. The pregnancy had changed so much; that I could barely fit my feet into my slippers anymore.As I walked into the living room, I saw my dad sitting on the couch, chatting and laughing with my mom. Our relationship had shifted from happiness to something sour but not completely bitter. He talked to me when necessary and didn’t refuse when I sought his attention. He asked about my health and the baby, but I knew it was out of obligation rather than genuine concern.When my mom told him about Kelvin and me, he asked if that was really what I wanted, analyzing the pros and

Rayla's POV.I had to go home as early as possible to tend to Mike's needs, I knew he was okay when he said so but I still find it hard to believe that especially since that was the first time I would be seeing him in such a vulnerable state.I never had any idea that he could be like that behind closed doors until yesterday.It would be a huge lie if I said I wasn't, I was scared to my bone and that made me blurt THAT he would be staying calling sick and now I couldn't focus at work because I kept drifting into space and drawing then back on the meeting, making them repeat the same questions over and over again.I dropped my long coat over the chair and headed upstairs to meet it empty; I slapped my forehead knowing fully well he was back at work, I barely could bear my rage.I decided to call Racheal and tried to explain things to her because I felt it disrespectful if Mike could just walk away from my order like this when we were just in a relationship when he knew better that I me

Mike's POV.I couldn't help to smile, Rayla's were some of the few I knew that could only feel better when unleashed the beast, their anger.I was forced to leave my Villa, I got a call from one of our dealers who has long worked with us based on stupid explanations like that, and probably now that he saw how fast-growing THE GORDON is moving especially the sales estimation, he had to call me about knocking back a deal with is and I could barely point out where I kept his previous file then that entails his previous deal.I intended to go to the office pick up the files and drop them off for Noah at the office before heading back home.I had no intention of staying back in the office and that is why I went far away from the office period. I looked for the file in the dossier before heading to Noah's to drop it off on my way back to my office I met Kim who was looking and I could barely control myself not to stare and I knew she shuddered under my stare.I was pacing my office floor wa

Rachael's POV.I got Kelvin's message and it was far from what I was expecting, the moment Kim rejected him in the presence of all, I don't know but I felt an increase in my insecurities, don't blame me; I don't know how to live on with the knowledge of my half-sister still having feelings with my husband and seeing the message erase all my insecurities.I was with Kelvin when Rayla informed me that Mike just walked away from her order even though he knew it was all for him.I knew Rayla might be feisty sometimes but was the one who would walk a mile for their loved ones.I glanced across Mrs. Patterson before finding my way to Noah's office.I couldn't believe the calmness in me when I spotted Kim with Noah, I knew I was supposed to be angry but I wasn't, I smiled widely realizing this lady before me would be getting anytime soon.I had no intention of ignoring Noah but I was overwhelmed seeing Kim and she looked chubby than before even though she was still looking sick.I noticed Mi

Noah's POVI don’t know what she was thinking when she proposed that suggestion, knowing fully well how much I despised her. I couldn’t understand why she kept complicating things for me when all I was doing was trying to protect us.Mike sent me a bunch of pictures, and there her sister's face was, looking more mature than ever. They appeared happy with an older woman I could only assume was their mother. Each image Michael sent only fueled my curiosity, and it was infuriating that every turn led to a dead end.I couldn’t keep up with Rachael’s arguments; she had been on edge, and I’d rather leave her to it. I needed a drive, nothing more. I couldn’t call Mike, knowing he might just be dealing with his crap, so I decided to take a drive and then return to the apartment.It was getting dark when I returned. Ariella was on her phone, as usual, and Rachael wasn’t in her seat—definitely in our bedroom. I felt the urge to go after her, but I knew she needed that moment to herself.I went

Kim's POVThe conversation I had with Rachael wasn’t a pleasant one, and it opened a wound. I could feel my health deteriorating, but I decided to keep it to myself. The last time I went to complain about the new pain I detected recently, I was met with dead silence in response to the results.I had to put chemotherapy on hold during my first trimester, knowing how badly radiation exposure could affect my baby. I was put on medication, but now I felt like nothing was working, as my first-stage cancer had suddenly progressed to the second stage. I had started chemotherapy again, but I hoped it would work.I had been locked up, complaining to my mom about something else, assuring her I would be fine after a good rest. My test results reporting my second-stage cancer were soaked with my tears. I placed my hand on my belly, softly talking to my child—one of the things I had grown fond of since I became pregnant.“Child, just be patient... Mom will soon help you out of there.” It had been

Kim's POVI was so anxious as I shuffled through my closet, looking for something better to wear. I hadn’t expected Rachael to invite me over for a night party, not after what I said to her in anger.I hadn’t been on a shopping spree in ages—one of my hobbies that I thought I couldn’t live without until now. Since my bump started to grow, I found it increasingly difficult to choose clothes that fit.I decided to take my mom’s car. Mine seemed too flashy, and I didn’t think it would be comfortable with the bump.I considered calling Kelvin but decided against it; it didn’t feel necessary, especially since we weren’t even married.When I arrived at Rachael’s house, I was shocked by the interior decoration. I recognized Rayla, the lady who had been bashing on Mike the other day, as well as the first lady I met on my first visit to Rachael's store—though I hadn’t realized it at the time.Seeing Evelyn made me lower my head in embarrassment. I still hadn’t gotten the chance to properly apo
