68: The Auction
“I've sent you the money like I promised to always do," Aria said coldly. “ Till we are able to get a divorce.”Noah was too tired to talk, so he merely nodded. He had already told Amelia that Aria didn't need to send any money but Aria was adamant. She believed the money was the one that has been holding him till that moment.She didn't know anyways, that he was Cedric and the little money she was sending was like pouring a cup of water into an ocean.“And can you like, find a place to go and not always come home?” She said with disdain. “You don't always have to be here, you know.”It's been eight days now since Kyle gave them the strange christmas gift and Noah has been at home with her. And she has been acting up since then. “Alright,” Noah responded in a clipped voice.He had no strength for argument. Besides, there was a lot for him that day. It was finally the auction day when Noah would be seeing Leonardo for the first time.And honestly, he couldn't wait.He looked up, when
67: The Code
Silence descended among them after Adam left to receive his call. It was Christmas but the emotions in display felt like they were in a burial session.Noah's phone rang suddenly, making him jump. He looked up at Kyle but no one had any objection so he hurried out to answer the call.“Father,” Mia turned to Kyle, the moment Noah was out of the door. “Why would you do that to your granddaughter? You've always wanted her to marry Donald and this was a great opportunity to change her reckless decision,” she dragged as if she could barely breathe. She had been trying hard to hold the tears when Noah was still around and now that he was out of the space, Mia let it out freely.“Yes, father. You could have made her marry Donald, And not some poor man like Noah.Kyle sighed. “For now, Noah has to stay married to Aria. And it's for her own good. No one is questioning me because my decision won't change!” He muttered thickly, stood up and walked inside his room. Mia turned to Adrian, heartbr
66: Reconciliation
Noah froze.What the heck!Aria took the document in her hands. It was almost similar to the fake one she did. There was barely any difference except for the authentication of the stamp.Different forms of emotion took over her. Noah was supposed to leave that day, how could the plan be ruined?“Wait, I seem to be lost,” Mia started, slightly shaking her head. “Father? The marriage between Aria and Noah was fake?”Aria couldn't talk, she was too dumbfounded to.“Yes,” Kyle replied.“What!” Mia yelled with disbelief. When Aria was eventually able to get her voice back. She looked at Kyle. “Grandfather, why?”Kyle's expression hardened, “I can't believe my granddaughter lied to me. I remember ordering you two to get married. How could you lie to me!”“How could you keep this a secret from me!” Mia yelled.Mia felt different actually. If Aria had told her the truth, it would have been easier on her. She would have found a perfect way to make them part ways before Kyle legalized the marri
65: Legalized
Just as they stepped out, Ella turned to look at him. “Why did you help me? There's no difference between them and me. I didn't think you could have gotten better, talk more of being able to afford so much.”Noah smiled. “Well, I will still choose someone who tries to stop people from abusing me over those who bully me at every interval. I won't be able to wait for the dessert. You can have it with your friends.”Ella's eyes widened slightly. “Wait, where are you going?”“I have a place to be,” he responded and turned to look at Martin. “Please, treat her as if she's me.”Martin bowed slightly, a smile appearing on his face. “No problem sir,” he responded respectfully and turned to Ella. “Follow me, ma’am.”Ella hesitated briefly before she followed behind.Noah released a sigh and dialled Jennifer's number as he walked into the parking lot.“I was already waiting for your call, Cedric. I didn't want to be the one to call because I didn't want to disturb you.”“Alright, I'm done now.”
64: Shocking revelation 2
Only three people in the city owned the VIP black Alpha card from Heritage Bank. The President, Leonardo, and Alaric heir. But who would have thought the son of Alaric would come to his restaurant that night?And an ordinary waiter couldn't even recognise the famous Alaric Cedric!“But sir, the card was declined. I swiped it and it didn't even recognise it,” the waiter explained.“This is why you need to be extra careful whenever you are at work. This isn't a regular card,” he continued, his voice dropping into something edged. “It's encrypted. You don't swipe it, you authenticate it.”Encrypted? What does that mean?Martin didn't answer immediately. Instead, he took the machine from him with controlled patience, like someone correcting a costly mistake.Then, he placed the card flat against the reader.A soft beep cut through the silence.Everyone froze.Martin's eyes flicked to the screen. For a moment, he just stared, then a smile spread across his face.“Payment of forty-five thou

“Yes, sure. His order is $45,000.”Richard's throat went dry. His lips parted, but no words came out first. He dragged a hand down his face forcing himself to breathe as every eye in the room turned towards him. “Who_who hasn't opened their wine yet?” he asked, his voice tight, almost cracking.“Everyone has!” Linda answered quickly, her tone laced with rising fear. “Every single bottle.”A ripple of unease spread across the table.Richard let out a hollow laugh, shaking his head. “That's insane. Where am I supposed to get that kind of money from? My budget was $100,000.”Noah leaned back slightly, a faint, almost amused smile playing on his lips. “Well, I tried to warn you,” he said calmly. “But you didn't listen.”Richard snapped his head towards him, irritation flashing. “Why don't you speak for yourself!” he shot back. “It's not as if you can afford your bill.”Noah's smile didn't fade, it sharpened. “Who said I can't?" Noah replied. “I am nothing like you.”“Oh please,.” Violet
