Chapter Thirty TwoEliana's Pov The rays of sun pierced through my eye lids and into my brain causing a sharp pain to return to my eye, all resulting in a mild concussion.Damn is this how hangovers feel? I always forget. God, I'm never drinking again.A groan escaped my lips as I got up suddenly, the pounding in my head increasing tenfold. I opened my eyes and almost got blinded by the light coming from my verandah. What an eyesore. Literally. I stretched my arms and legs, feeling the soreness from last night's dancing. Memories of the party flooded my mind, the laughter, the music, the drinks, and then...nothing.Wait, what happened last night?I stumbled towards the bathroom and splashed some cold water on my face. As I looked at my reflection in the mirror, memories of the night started to come back to me.Oh, right. I got drunk and made a fool of myself in front of everyone. I took my brush, placing some paste on it and starting at my reflection in the mirror.The hangover w

Chapter Thirty-FourNoah's povI watched her strut towards the booth, her hips swaying with each step she took, enchanting we mere mortals with her ethereal body that shone no matter what she wore.It has been no easy task to keep my eyes off her, especially the span of skin exposed after her crop top. Her cargo pants hung a bit low on her beautifully carved waist designed by God himself, or it was the devil who carved it, a waist like that was made for destruction.My destruction. No matter how much I tried, I couldn't get it out of my head. Both her waist and her.The sound of her laughter played on repeat in my mind, its similarity to a broken music player stuck on the same melody glaring.Her sweet strawberry scent, better than any cigarette or tobacco I've had the luxury of taking and more soothing than any hard drug. If I could extract her scent and turn it into a brand of cigarette, I would. Of course I won't sell it. It was mine.I planned on only being married to her for a y

Eliana's Pov The funfair felt like ages ago when in reality it was just few days ago. After we had lunch, we played more games, giving the rewards to the kids that didn't have any. The fundraiser was a success. Apart from the kids having more fun than they have in a long time, a lot of money was gotten from games and snacks. The profit went to the orphanage as promised and the matrons were so happy.Noah put a lot of smiles on everyone's faces that day, including mine. I didn't expect him to be so caring to strangers especially little kids. Also didn't expect him to care when I told him about my panda growing up. I exempt the exact opposite, for him not to care and to just belittle me, but he didn't. He actually won it for me. Remembering that day always made me feel so giddy. I felt for once I was seen, heard and understood. I was happy, happier than ever.After that day, he was busier than ever, only coming home after eleven in the midnight. He always came back stressed and tire

Chapter thirty eightEliana’s POVAn engagement party in the Adler’s house meant a big party, something close to being called a modern ball. There was an exclusive guest list, a list of acceptable colours of dresses and mode of dressing, a gown for ladies and suit for men, and Lucy, Noah’s mother, made sure the preparations went according to plan. There I was, enjoying a lovely brunch with noah when I received her call about there being an emergency at the house. We ran there like we were on fire just to be roped into dress picking and who is who flashcards.Half of the people I was forced to know their names had so much money it could buy me and then a small island. That's how rich they were.The designer taking my measurements right now was one of the most expensive designers in the city, and I felt so out of place as she pinned fabric on my body and gave suggestions on the cut and style, which her assistant drew on her sketchpad hurriedly immediately I agreed to it. It was overwhe

Chapter FortyEliana's Pov The engagement party was in three days. My mother wasn't still strong enough to wake up. I have been operating on coffee for the past three days, and someone could still act like the world is centered around him?I felt bad for the things I said. I regret them, but just for the best, I had to say them. I just couldn't pretend I was happy with him while my mother was in between life and death. I just couldn't pretend. He went behind my back to hurt my mother. It was his fault she was in this condition. I wish I could ignore it, but every time I looked at him, that's all I could see.Tiana placed a hand on my shoulder in an attempt to calm me down but my anger was already at its tipping point."What is going on here?" I gritted out. Oliver pointed at Noah. "This asshole punched me for no reason." Noah's eyes were filled with rage. He stormed to where Oliver was crouched, pulling his collar and was about to deliver another blow but I got between them."Noah
