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 marr
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
63: Meeting Alaric
“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
62: The bills
Everyone stared, as if trying to find out if it was fake. Then, they relaxed.Noah pocketed his phone, with satisfaction.For a second, no one said anything. Then, Violet let out a soft laugh.“Wow, you've finally gotten it,” She feigned surprise, and her lips slightly curled into a fake smile. She tilted her head, eyes running over him slowly. “How many years later is that?”A few people chuckled.“Don't get me wrong,” she added lightly. “It's nice, really. Everyone deserved a second chance.”NoH stared at her. No matter what he did, they would always think low of him and find flimsy reasons to back it up. He was not surprised. They had always been like that.“She's right,” Richarded added suddenly, supporting Violet. “Let's not act like this is some big moment,” he said, glancing around the room. “A certificate is the minimum requirement, not exactly an achievement.”A couple of heads nodded, agreeing with him.Violet smiled with victory. “Exactly! We all have one,” She gestured laz

“But we can settle this_” Tiffany started.“In Court,” Noah completed. “For intentional destruction of property of this value.”“It's fair,” the man added quickly. “Perhaps you have something of value too, aside from your BMW car because it's just going to handle the side mirror.”Tiffany thought for a moment, her heart beat accelerated. Then, she remembered something. “Rose’s necklace. It's a Graff Diamond necklace and is worth three million dollars. It can sort it and we will still have some change remaining.”Rose hesitated as if thinking about it but slowly shook her head. “Please, not the necklace,” She begged softly.The man moved closer nonetheless. “Can I see the serial number?”Rose paused. “Serial number?”“Don't tell me you don't know what that is.”Rose took the necklace off and did a quick check. There was no serial number anywhere. She looked up at the man again, as tears welled up in her eyes.The man shook his head in pity and slowly backed off. “Can't work, that's a f
