She should Train herself

CHAPTER 11: SHE SHOULD TRAIN HERSELF.NOAH'S POV The sound of Marianne’s heels clicking against the polished marble floor grates against my ears, a sharp reminder of her presence. I don’t need to turn around to know she’s behind me as her smell of perfume never seems to change. It is her signature mode of appearance. She didn't leave with the dignitaries who came that morning so I guessed correctly that she would come find me instead. Her gaze pierces into my back like a predator assessing its prey. I sigh, placing my whiskey glass on the counter, and bracing myself for the inevitable confrontation.“Noah,” she calls, her voice laced with its usual saccharine sweetness, but I know better than to be deceived. I turn to face her, my expression is as impassive as ever.“What do you want, Marianne?” My tone is calm but laced with warning.She had displayed one of the skills that she is good at that morning. I expected it to happen and when it did, it was simply none of my business to i

No Visits are Allowed

CHAPTER 12: NO VISITS ARE ALLOWEDRACHEL'S POVThe morning sun goes through my bedroom curtains, casting a glow across the room. It is a reminder for me that I am supposed to begin my day already even though I am not interested in stepping a foot out.Just when I am still moving my body across my bed lazily, my phone buzzes beside me, and I pick it up to see a message from my sister, Emily. "Hey, Rach. Can we meet up? It’s been too long. I want to speak with you about Dad. I am sorry that he reacted that way to you. I need to speak with you, please. Can I come over?"A small smile tugs at my lips. I’ve missed her. She is my closest friend, and we are each other comfort, but ever since our dad fell sick, the distance has widened, and we rarely communicate anymore. I quickly type back. "I’m free on Sunday. You can come over to visit."A sense of excitement stirs within me. For the first time in a long while, something feels normal. But then, reality sets in—I need to ask Noah for p

Heartbreak

CHAPTER 13: HEARTBREAK RACHEL'S POV "Hey, Rachel, over here." I hear my sister's voice as soon as I make my appearance at the cafe that I had chosen for a few days for both of us to meet. I fixed our meeting to be in the evening after my work hours as that would be easier for us. She is all smiley when she sees me and she does not hesitate to hug me immediately after I get closer. "I miss you so much," she whispers and I chuckle.I rub her back gently, inhaling her fresh lavender perfume. She reminds me so much of our mum in every manner - her way of talking, her behavior, her reactions to situations, and even her voice.Maybe that is why I respect her so much and seek her comfort in any situation - I see her as my mother even though she is younger than me. "I miss you too, Emily."I sit across from her after she has released me from the hug. It feels like ages since we last had a moment to ourselves, and despite the exhaustion weighing on me, I feel lighter just being h

Fainted

CHAPTER 14: FAINTED RACHEL'S POVThe moment I wake up, I know something is wrong.My whole body feels unbearably heavy, my head throbs like a hammer pounding against my skull - probably because I could not get a good sleep for some time, and my skin burns with heat. I struggle to sit up, only to realize that even breathing feels like a chore. A groan slips past my lips as I force myself out of bed, my legs wobbling beneath me like jelly. "I need to get to work. I have no place to place an excuse." I whisper.I drag myself to the bathroom, gripping the sink for support. My reflection in the mirror is ghastly—pale face, tired eyes, sweat lining my forehead. I shouldn’t be moving, but I have no choice. I have work to do.By the time I get downstairs, I am lightheaded, my vision blurring at the edges. The chef pauses what he’s doing and looks at me with concern. “Madam, are you alright?”I force a small smile. “I’m fine. Good morning.”“Good morning to you too. But you don’t look fine.

A Fragile Return

CHAPTER 15: A FRAGILE RETURNRACHEL'S POVThe moment I hear the doctor say I’m officially discharged, a part of me feels relieved, but the other part? It scoffs. Rest? As if. The doctor emphasizes that I need to avoid any form of stress and stay away from work for at least a week. That won't happen in any way.I force a polite smile and thank him, but deep down, I know there’s no escaping the chaos that’s already brewing around me. No one would even believe I need rest. Not Noah. Not anyone in that house or at work if I want to get paid by the end of the month.After finishing the formalities at the hospital — the bills had already been taken care of as I was told — I step outside, the crisp air brushing against my skin as I make my way to the car waiting to take me home. Home. The word feels foreign. It doesn’t hold warmth or comfort—only uncertainty.When I arrive, the scent of freshly baked bread and spices fills the air. The Chef is busy exploring his options again. As I step ins

A Cold Brat

CHAPTER 16: A COLD BRAT. RACHEL'S POVThe evening air is thick with the scent of alcohol and cigarettes as I step into the dimly lit bar. The place is alive with chatter, clinking glasses, and the occasional burst of laughter. I keep my head down, my heart pounding in my chest as I scan the room.Marco had told me that I would find Liam here. I had done my research before coming, memorizing his face from the picture now set as my phone’s wallpaper. Even in the low lighting, I should be able to recognize him.Taking a deep breath, I make my way through, weaving through groups of people. Maybe I shouldn't have come at this time but I might not have any other chances again to see him. Even tonight isn't guaranteed but I still want to try.The scent of whiskey lingers in the air, and a few curious eyes glance my way. I look like the odd one out. I ignore them, keeping my focus sharp.Just as I’m about to move further inside, a man steps into my path. He’s tall and broad-shouldered, and h

Bad

CHAPTER 17: BADRACHEL'S POVThe clock on the wall shows it's barely past six, but I have a lot to do before Marco comes later in the afternoon. He’d called last night to let me know he'd be in meetings all day, so I decided to take it upon myself to prepare breakfast for Noah and me after asking Marco what he thought Noah would prefer for the morning.I move around the kitchen quietly, trying not to wake anyone else. I have a feeling that Noah is likely to be up soon as he is this early-morning person. "I am almost done. What is next?" I whisper joyfully to myself as I look around and then I snap my fingers. "Ah, the coffee." Standing on my tiptoes, I reach for the shelf, my fingers grazing the mug’s handle that is a bit out of reach.What a wonderful way for the universe to remind me that I am short.I struggle a little bit to get it but all my attempts to do so just keep on failing. Just as I am about to look for an alternative method, I feel the air shift behind me, and befo

Unspoken Tensions

CHAPTER 18: UNSPOKEN TENSIONS.RACHEL'S POVThe event preparation is in full swing, and the energy in the room is buzzing with anticipation. I’m double-checking the seating arrangements when I hear a voice behind me. “You’re really dedicated to your work, aren’t you?”I turn to see the same guy from before, the one I had briefly encountered earlier and helped with finding his room. He has a charming smile, the kind that looks almost rehearsed, but there’s an ease in his posture that makes it seem natural. “I try,” I reply, offering a small smile.He extends a hand. “Jason.” “Rachel.” “I know,” he chuckles. “I asked around.”I raise a brow at that but choose to ignore the subtle arrogance in his tone. "Nice to meet you and thank you for your help yesterday." "It is alright. I am glad that I was able to help you."We fall into a light conversation—nothing deep, just casual remarks about the event and minor complaints about how exhausting these preparati

I am not interested

CHAPTER 20: I AM NOT INTERESTED.NOAH'S POVThe low hum of conversation and the distant clinking of glasses from the party downstairs barely reach the private lounge where I sit across from Senator Lancaster. The dim reflects off the expensive whiskey in our glasses. The Senator leans back in his chair, clearly pleased as he lifts his glass in a small toast. "Noah," he says, his voice carrying the weight of experience, "this event is a masterpiece. You’ve outdone yourself and I am very impressed. You surprised me. I wasn't really expecting you to pull this off within just a few days though."I nod, taking a sip of my drink. "Thank you, Senator. I appreciate that. It was hard but my team and I had to do it. I am glad that you find it pleasing enough. That is a very good start actually."He chuckles, swirling the amber liquid in his glass. "You’ve got talent, not just in business, but in leadership. Ever considered politics?"I don’t even hesitate. "No."His brows rise slightly, int
