Chapter 32 — Take off your disguise The Auctioning was over and it was now time for the after party, it had limited invitations, just the mega families and few allies Z .Jackets were unbuttoned, heels slipped off under tables this was supposed to be the cool off time , the time to eat and dance to slow jazz music but there was this awkward atmosphere and it was still because of Noah. All the press were ushered out now and it meant they could show their real side here, this was no longer a show, it was where the real night began.Noah sat back in his chair,. He rested one arm on the table, fingers loose, watching faces instead of avoiding them, These were the people his wife would always tell him to avoid at parties , it was either he was asked to wait in the car so he can drive them back home or he doesn’t attend at all .Across the room, people kept glancing his way and whispering to each other , Others stared openly, curiosity was fighting disbelief, Noah on the other hand was

Chapter 34 — The Second Task The car was already moving but none of them seem to be saying anything about what just happened , Noah was still trying to process it so his silence was justified , Alexa was unsually quiet. The city lights slid past the tinted windows in long streaks of gold and white, but no one was admiring the view. Noah leaned back against the leather seat, his jacket was off but yet he was feeling hot , it was even worse because the car was cold. . Rio grabbed his laptop from the back seat open it on his knees, Noah and Alexa immediately turned to see what he was doing . The screen was glowing red, Noah leaned closer to see , there was just encrypted coding and bunch of things he couldn’t understand, he turned to Rio for answers and he did give him an answer . “ I logged in the system…” “ What’s going on ?” . “That’s not normal,” Rio muttered, fingers flying across the keyboard. “Usually the alert drops once we leave the radius.” Alexa glanced at the scr

Chapter_ His Good Books . Four head of the Mega families gathered for a drink , It was not to talk about business but they left their busy schedules , business meetings and their home to talk about , Noah Bennet . “Funny how one night can ruin sleep for four grown men,” Mr Blackwood said, swirling the amber liquid in his glass.Mr Sinclair let out a dry laugh. “Sleep? I haven’t slept since the party. Every time I close my eyes, I see his face.”Mr Veyron leaned back in his chair, staring at the city lights below the rooftop. “ My wife wouldn’t stop talking about how she made him clean the mess that our teenager did , she hasn’t eaten since then …She is thinking of sending him a gift , it’s that serious .”Mr Draven took a slow sip of his drink. “ Let’s be honest, she has every right to panic and act the way she did , the woman is just trying to be smart , We all mocked that man.”Blackwood scoffed. “Mocked is a gentle word. I never regarded him for once . Treated him like trash , he

Chapter 38 —Your Nemesis is near.“ My mother ? What do you mean my mother owned this place ?” Noah laughed nervously trying to hide the fact that he was trembling. “ I do not tell lies Noah , This is your mother’s foundation, she was my best friend and for her 21st birthday , she wanted to give back to society , I had just finish Convent school and we came up with the idea to build an orphanage home because we both grew up in the streets and we knew how hard it is , When she got married to your father , she handled management to me because of how busy she was but she would still stop by with you in her arms , she never missed an function for the kids , she held charity events and none of the money ended up in her bank account , it was all for this home “ She paused to notice that Noah was trembling, she held his hand and smiled . “ She asked your uncle to bring you here while she was struggling to death , After she died …Everything changed , They took over the place and used it fo

Chapter 40– Patterns Noah sat in the living room of his house with a bottle of beer resting loosely in his hand, Rio sat across from him, legs stretched out, a bottle balanced on his knee. They had been there for a while, drinking in silence, but Rio noticed that Noah wasn’t himself.He wasn’t in the mood for joking. He wasn’t distracted by his phone that was beeping constantly .

Rio took a slow sip of his drink and studied him.“You’ve been quiet,” he said finally. “That’s not normal. You look like someone punched you without touching you.”Noah didn’t answer immediately.
