What is that ?” someone whispered.“That’s not possible.” Mr Hargrove rolled his eyes “I thought the Ash Broker was…”“No, I heard it was a consortium. Not one man.”“No way that’s him, isn’t that the Lewis son in law ? ”The murmuring rolled through the hall and the music suddenly stopped as if it was on cue .. People leaned toward each other to get a proper view of whatever drama this was , Including the Media , it was going to be a developing story , The husband that Tara was always ashamed of showing off suddenly appeared in an exclusive party , A vip quest under the name , ‘ Ash grover ‘ This was the type of sto

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

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
Breaking News

What he did not expect was Noah Bennett’s face staring back at him from the screen.Silas froze and when he shaked it off , he sat up and increased the Tv volume . “The unknown son-in-law of the Lewis family turns out to be a billionaire.”Silas frowned, his fingers tightening around the glass in his hand.Another headline slid across the screen as he rushed to change the channel .“Billionaire Noah Bennett, nicknamed Ash Groover, revea

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.

Home of Hope and Care
Chapter 37 — Home of Hope and Care. Noah woke up to noise , he turned to switch off his alarm but it was still there , he stretched and stood up to locate the noise then he realized it was coming from his phone, his phone buzzing nonstop on the bedside table. It vibrated again, then again, then again, until the sound began to feel like pressure against his skull. “ Oh for fuck sake !” .He rolled onto his side and grabbed the phone to switch it off but somehow he tapped one of the links and stared at the screen.His name was everywhere.News alerts stacked on top of each other. Messages from unknown numbers. Missed calls he didn’t bother opening because how the heck did they even get his contact , that was the main reason he didn’t respond and he knew to also change the number .

A Threat and A Letter
Chapter 39 __A Threat and A Letter Margaret Blackwood did not speak as the car pulled away from the orphanage.Her eyes stayed fixed on the road ahead, but she was trying to still wrapped her head around what had just happened , and Theresa’s strange confidence. Ivy noticed the silence almost immediately. It was rare for her mother to hold her tongue this long.“You’re overthinking it,” Ivy said at last, breaking the quiet. “So he came. So what?”Margaret exhaled sharply. “You are really slow …Did you just say , so what ? Are you blind ?” “I saw children running around and supplies,” Ivy replied. “That doesn’t mean anything.

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 .

Like clues? Or proof?” Ruo as
