Chapter: Chapitre dixLes jours se sont transformés en semaines, puis en mois. Noah n'est plus jamais réapparu. Il a disparu, laissant Emily seule, pourtant liée à lui par un certificat de mariage. Emily se réveillait chaque jour avec la même routine. Elle se levait, prenait son petit-déjeuner et partait travailler. C'était une fille sympathique et elle s'est vite fait de bons amis au travail. Elle passait souvent du temps avec ces quelques amis après le travail, puis retournait à la maison ennuyeuse. Les membres de sa famille, qui ne se souciaient jamais d'elle, ne l'appelaient plus. Ils avaient toujours voulu sa mort et son oubli, après tout. Après l'échec de l'accident planifié par Jayden, son homme a été puni. Heureusement pour Jayden, l'homme avait trop peur de lui pour révéler son nom, car il en connaissait les implications. Jayden ne l'a plus jamais embêtée.L'horloge tournait, les jours passaient et bientôt, cela faisait un an et demi. Un soir, à la fin du travail, Emily était assise avec trois ami

Le cimetière privé était silencieux, comme prévu. Le cimetière de la famille Harper. Noah se rendit sur la tombe de sa mère et lui déposa une rose rouge. C'était sa fleur préférée. Il lui rendait visite chaque année depuis sa mort. Il se rendait également sur sa tombe lorsqu'il était abattu.« Maman, Noah est de retour. Tu me manques, maman », dit-il, les larmes aux yeux. Il se souvenait de leur famille heureuse et de la perte de sa mère. Il refusait de croire quoi que ce soit, sauf que son père était responsable de la mort de sa mère.« Il l'a tuée », murmura-t-il. Son père n'était jamais venu se recueillir sur sa tombe depuis sa mort. Noah pensait que son père s'en fichait. Cela l'éloigna encore davantage de lui.« Tout devient ennuyeux, maman. Les moments passés avec toi me manquent, maman. Tu croyais que j'étais victime d'un coup monté ? Ceci dit, si tu étais là, maman… J'aurais préféré ne pas t'avoir suggéré ce voyage. On aurait peut-être été ensemble. Tu ne serais pas partie si

Un silence s'abattit sur eux.« Vraiment, maman ? Tu as encore le courage de me rappeler maman ? » dit Noah en se levant de son siège. Il renversa sa tasse de café, furieux.« Noah ! Qu'est-ce qui ne va pas chez toi ? » demanda Joshua en se levant à son tour.« Je ne t'ai pas encore pardonné ce qui est arrivé à maman, et tu continues à me parler d'elle », dit Noah, les yeux injectés de sang et les larmes aux yeux. Il menaçait de tomber à tout moment.« Pff ! » Joshua lança une sale claque au visage de Noah. Noah resta immobile un moment, fixant son père. Il prit ses clés de voiture sur la table et quitta la pièce, furieux.« Naoh ! » appela son père, mais Noah ne se retourna pas.Le bruit de la douche se fit entendre jusque dans la salle de bains. Un homme viril, sexy et trempé prenait son bain. Il passait plus de temps à réfléchir qu'à le prendre. Au bout d'une trentaine de minutes, il finit par éteindre la douche. Ses cheveux noirs, ruisselants, le rendaient plus beau et plus sexy.

Grâce Shields.Car c'était son nom. Le nom interdit dans le monde de Noé.« Comment est-il arrivé ici ? C'est censé être un nouveau livre. Ou un serviteur l'a-t-il ramassé et déposé ici ? » se demanda-t-il.Il ouvrit ses tiroirs et y rangea le tableau. Il le ferma à clé. Il prit sa veste et partit. Son père l'avait fait venir et il allait répondre au vieil homme.Il descendit l'escalier, plongé dans ses pensées. Il allait voir son père. Ils n'étaient pas proches et pourtant, ils n'avaient aucun problème. Ils s'étaient effondrés à la mort de la mère de Noah. Noah secoua la tête comme pour chasser cette pensée. Il s'arrêta net en apercevant Emily à table. Elle affichait un sourire satisfait en mangeant.« Elle a finalement atteint son but grâce à ses méthodes trompeuses », a-t-il déclaré à l'intérieur.Emily était heureuse du peu de liberté et de la nourriture extrêmement riche qu'elle avait ce soir-là.Malgré la présence de domestiques, il n'y avait ni Rose, ni Olivia, ni Williams pour

Et voilà, c’était Noah Harper !« Salut Maître Harpiste. Je suis honoré de vous accueillir chez moi. J'espère que ma famille n'a offensé le grand Maître Harpiste d'aucune façon ? » dit Williams prudemment, après avoir enfin retrouvé sa langue.« Emily, lève-toi et viens ici », lui cria Noah. La voix était froide, autoritaire et pleine d'autorité. Emily obéit sans hésitation. Elle se leva et alla vers lui sur-le-champ. Noah était un homme de peu de mots. Il scruta tout le monde et dit :« Éloigne-toi d'elle et ne la dérange plus. » Il se tourna vers Emily et dit :"Allons-y."Les membres de la famille étaient trop choqués et effrayés pour parler. Emily prit son sac sur la table et le suivit dehors.« Quoi ? Ce n'était pas Noah Harper ? » Rose prit la parole la première, brisant le silence.« J'espère que nous n'avons offensé le premier maître d'aucune façon, sinon nous serons condamnés », a déclaré Williams, effrayé.« Je prie pour cela aussi », a ajouté Olivia.Ils n'ont jamais cru qu

Chapter: Chapitre 5
Au bureau des affaires civiles, de nombreuses personnes étaient présentes pour enregistrer leur mariage ou faire d'autres démarches. Dès leur entrée, tous les regards se tournèrent vers eux. Ils formaient un couple parfait. Noah était beau et séduisant, le rêve de toute femme. Emily, elle aussi, était une très jolie jeune fille aux formes généreuses qui faisait tourner les têtes.« Waouh ! Regardez ce beau mec », a murmuré une femme à son amie.« Oh mon Dieu ! Il est canon. J'envie cette fille », a dit un autre.« Je donnerais n’importe quoi pour entrer dans son lit », a déclaré l’un d’eux sans vergogne.Ils chuchotaient, mais c'était assez fort pour qu'Emily les entende. Non loin de là, un couple s'embrassait. C'était normal, et les ouvriers et les gens autour n'étaient pas dérangés. Mais Emily pensait que ce n'était pas normal.« Tous ces gens qui nous admirent. Si seulement ils savaient que c'est un mariage blanc », pensa Emily.« Pourquoi restes-tu là ? » demanda Noah, interrompan

Chapter: 137A pack of chips was thrown at him and he caught it. On looking up, he saw his friend, Frank. “Man! You always know the right thing to bring,” Noah said and opened the chips and began snacking on them. “Sure. I knew you would need that.”“It's been like forever. It's good to see you,” Noah stood up and shook hands with his friend. “What I like more is that you look so bright now. No longer the dull and sad young man of some months ago. I'm glad you have recovered,” Frank intoned. “I don't want to keep regretting. I only hope to find the answers soon. Once again, thanks for the chips. I so much needed it cos this work is a whole lot.”“Let's hang out later today, will you be free?”“Err…” Noah started but his friend interrupted. “Yes, you will. Clear your schedule. It's been a long time since we saw each other. Almost eight months, I deserve a better treatment. You are coming, right?”Noah laughed and threw up his hands in a mock surrender. As he promised, Noah arranged his schedu

Chapter: 136“It's fine. I'm good,” he finally said. “Thank you sir. Liam, leave…” she began but Noah cut in,“I said it's fine. Let him be.”“Yes sir,” the teacher said, unsure if she heard correctly. Seeing her still standing there, Noah gestured her to leave and she did so immediately. “My baby boy. Let's round up the competition and I'll see you after that, okay?”“Okay daddy!”Noah finally stood up and led Liam back to where he was to receive his prize. To everyone seated in that room, Noah was a perfect gentleman who took care of a child that ran to his arms. What they didn't know was that he was the boy's father. Only a few teachers who were from Liam's school knew that After the handing of prizes and the end of the competition, Noah and the other important guests filed out of the hall. Jones didn't make it anymore due to unforeseen circumstances. “Congratulations! Liam. You made our school proud!” Mrs Lane, the organising teacher for the competition in their school said to him.“Thank

Chapter: 135Then the boy bowed and walked back to his seat. Noah sat up, suddenly interested. One thing that didn't escape Noah's notice was the additional last name. He guessed Emily was waiting for the boy to get used to Muxin again before tactfully striking out his original surname, which was his too. He didn't know Liam was participating in that competition. It became clearer to him why the boy had been asking him so many questions in mathematics lately. He enrolled him into the competition as he promised and he had been coaching him relentlessly, irrespective of his mood. Liam had a tablet, specifically for study and that was where every lesson went on, online. Noah hadn't had much time to check his messages to attend to messages outside academic issues from his son. Liam asked the questions using his study tablet and his father responded. There was more or less no personal interaction between them in the study tablet. He took out his phone at this point and checked his messages. Truly, he

Chapter: 134A few months had passed and Emily had gotten over the divorce and was living happily with her son. She thought life had finally given her a happily ever after but no. Life has other plans and it wasn't time for a break yet. Noah sat in his office in the USA. He returned the previous day and was in his office that morning, drinking coffee. Following the divorce, Noah decided to leave the country and go back to the United Kingdom where he stayed after he got married to Emily ten years ago. Jones supported him too. According to him, he needed a break and he could use that opportunity to look after a branch of his company down there. He stole a glance at the clock and sighed. It was 8:30 am. He took up his phone and dialed a number. “Hey! You better start coming if you don't want me to kill you,” he said as soon as the call was answered. “It hasn't gotten to killing me, you brat! I know you love me too much to do so. Don't worry, I'll be there in no time, okay?” his friend, Jones, ans

Chapter: 133They drank in silence and as Jones predicted, Noah started feeling better and light headed with time. Jones allowed him to drink even when he was drunk. He wanted him to get drunk so he would sleep that night. He knew his friend very well and knew his reaction when he was looking for Emily over ten years ago. Now that he had lost her, he feared the worst for Noah. His friend loved his wife dearly and the three years he spent with her had been a memorable one. “Enough. It's okay, that's enough, this will help you,” Jones said and reached out to take his wine glass from him. Noahbdidn't say a word as was typical of him. Rather, he filled his glass one more time and gulped the contents. Then he took his car keys and stood up. This action caused Jones to raise a brow and look at him in surprise. “Noah? Where do you think you are going?”“Home. You asked me to stop drinking right now.”“Home? Like this?”“Do you think I'm drunk, Jones? No, I'm not and that's because I learnt how to drink

Chapter: 132Emily stared at her friend, Gu Yanxi with her mouth half open. To her alone, Gu Yanxi told the full details of her disappearance. “I'm speechless. I don't even know what to say,” she whispered, utterly dumbfounded at the recent news. “Let's talk about something else, I don't want to recall that. It's disheartening. I can't even…” Gu Yanxi started but the tears beclouded her words. Emily pulled her into her embrace.“Don't cry, you should not cry over people like her, they are not to be trusted. Let's all happy that you came out alive. Now, you will be very wary of her. Wipe your tears, dearest.” Gu Yanxi wiped her tears and sat up. “Tell me about yourself. How have you been all these while?” “Nothing really, it's been a busy…” Emily started but Gu Yanxi interrupted.“Your ring. Where's it?”“What?”“Emily? Did you lose your wedding ring?”Emily looked at her hands, bare of the expensive diamond ring. She didn't know how to explain to her friend that she has divorced Noah.“Say som

Chasing His Ex-Wife
"I will give you an interest of one million dollars once we regain our lost glory," Nelly promised.
"Really? Are you the only one who doesn't know my net worth?" Ivan questioned.
"Fine. What do you want, Ivan?"
"Marry me."
Nelly Stratford was forced to approach her sworn enemy, the proud Ivan Landers, to beg for money. Their family business was dwindling and her father was in a coma. The money to foot the hospital bill was not in sight. Left with no other option, she accepts his marriage proposal.
Nelly spent the next one year proving her worth. She did everything to please Ivan because she had fallen in love with him but his heart was far away. He only loved a certain girl who saved his life seven years ago. Ivan told her to her face that he would never love her.
Two weeks later, he came back to the house he shared with her. He saw the divorce papers she left him alongside the ring he gave the girl who saved him seven years ago. Pain and regret burst out in his chest, but this time, he couldn't find her anywhere.
When she returns, its not for love this time, but for vengeance. Will she succeed or will she let her love for Ivan take the upper hand?

Chapter: Twelve “Is that necessary right now?” Daisy questioned, a bit annoyed.“Ummm…yes.”“Do you need my help or not, Ivan?” she asked.How could he reject help from his own sister? Moreover, they trusted each other.“I need your help, please.”“It doesn't come unaccompanied. It comes with a price. Are you willing to pay?”“Daisy? What price is that?”“Let me know if you are willing to pay first. Then I will name my price.”“Daisy…”In another part of the town, Easton Landers, who was supposed to be out of town on a ‘business trip’ sat like a king, his powerful gaze towering over a timid young girl in front of him. There were hefty men guarding the entrance of the room. “Do I need to keep reminding you of your responsibilities?”“No,sir. I apologize for my mistakes. Punish me sir.”“Of course, I will punish you,” he grinned “One more lousy mistake, Ria, and I will make the old man pay.”He pointed towards a door and the young girl trembled all the more. It brought joy and warmth to his heart to

Chapter: Eleven "What are you doing?" Easton Landers was shocked to see Ivan in such a compromising state with Sandra, his secretary. What was more shameful? Sandra was a woman arranged to get married in a few months. She had just been engaged the past week. A wave of recognition flashed before Ivan's eyes. It was his secretary in front of him, not Nelly! "I - I - I don't… I didn't mean to," Ivan stammered as he tried to think of the perfect answer to give his grandfather. He knew he had disgraced himself and most especially, he had disgraced the "Landers" name as Easton would always say whenever any of his grandsons made a mistake. Under the cold glare of the two powerful figures, Sandra hurried away in shame. Sandra was trembling as she adjusted her clothes before shamefully dashing out of the office, bowing her head, not being able to take a glimpse at Easton Landers or Ivan himself. As soon as she was out of earshot, Easton turned to his grandson. Now, it was just Ivan standing in

Chapter: TenNelly was lucky that it wasn't as serious as the pain felt. It was just a sharp pain and a warning signal that she needed to rest. "Thank you Ma'am," Nelly said to the woman beside her who rendered help. Nelly's accommodation had already been taken care of by Ash. He helped sort that out so she wouldn't face much stress after landing in Germany. Ash even wanted to do more but Nelly would not let him "Is it now we agreed you'll arrive at my mom's birthday party?" Ash's girlfriend charged at him immediately he alighted from his car. "I can explain babe. I tried my best to meet up as you said but I was…"Spare me whatever shit you have to say you dick head! I know exactly where you have been. If it wasn't for her, I know you will even be the first to arrive!" "Your mom is inside right? I'll still get to meet her. You shouldn't be so angry at me. Your mom will still be happy to see me even if I'm late." "How would she see you as serious? She does not want someone who is not home wi

Chapter: NineIvan was extremely shocked. Maybe it was at this point that he really came to understand the phrase- "It's a very small world." His eyes contracted as he stared at the ring Nelly submitted alongside the letter. He then had a very vivid flashback of what took place eight years ago during the latest hours of the night. He was out during his hustling days when some fierce looking men, numbered at three, approached him. "Stop right there or we'll violently rip you apart with this knife!" One of the men had shouted to bring him to a halt. "Please, I beg you. I do not have anything on me. All I have here is some little money which I just…" Ouch! The memory struck. Ivan wasn't able to complete those words before the gang leader plunged the knife into his stomach. He didn't stop at that, he buried additional three stabs at multiple spots on the lower region of Ivan's abdomen. "You say this isn't a lot of money, huh? You greedy and senseless fellow!" One of the men had also shamelessly r

Chapter: Eight Ash placed his hands on hers to reassure her. "It's going to be fine."Coincidentally, a news was broadcast on the television. 'The CEO of Vintage group visits Troy orphanage and makes a generous donation of ten million dollars.'"See, he went there with another woman. See how he goes around with a lot of them, making me a laughing stock. I only fell in love with him, nothing more. I regret it, I really do."Ash took the remote control and turned off the television. "You need to rest, don't think about it. I'll see you tomorrow."Ash inserted his keys into the keyhole and turned the knob."You are coming from her house, right?"It was his girlfriend. She hated the fact that he put his best friend, Nelly, before her. "We had an appointment this evening…" he tried to explain."As expected, that's the next thing you will say. You always remember your outings and so called appointments with her and end up forgetting mine.""Baby…""Don't you dare baby me.""I'm sorry. I will make it

Send him to his father.""What do you mean by that?""Your questions surprise me. Listen, I'm a busy person, okay? Let me rephrase it. Who is the father of that baby?""Don't be ridiculous. It's your baby, our baby."Ivan laughed again. This time, it was louder than the former. It was filled with mockery. "Our baby?" he mimicked. "Really? When did that happen? When was the last time I had anything with you?""Are you accusing me of infidelity right now? How can you say something like that? When you were pounding me hard that evening, you didn't know it will result to this.""What evening?" Ivan questioned. "At your grandfather's place.""Oh! So it was you who drugged me just to hold me down with that baby?""Stop being silly, Ivan. How and why will I do something that lowly?"Ivan looked at her an
