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.

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

Chapter: SixShe turned and came face to face with Ivan's cousin, Daisy. Daisy and Katty had never gotten along since childhood. Daisy was the pride of Easton. He loved and cherished her but everything changed when Katty came into the family. Tactfully, she erased Daisy from Easton's mind entirely and warmed her way into the latter's heart. Even at such tender age, she was crafty and creepy. She devised all sorts of means to ruin and dent Daisy's image before her grandfather. Eventually, Daisy lost her grandfather's love and all the care, love and attention was focused on Katty. Daisy felt very bad, she was abandoned again for the third time. Firstly, her father rejected her mother's pregnancy when she took in. Her mother bore the pain, gave birth to her and left her with her grandfather. According to him, her mother travelled to Italy to work and would return for her once she was stable. Daisy waited for eighteen years but her mother never showed up. She stayed all by herself in her grandfather

Chapter: Five From where she stood by the window, she saw his car drive in. Her heart was filled with joy and she was nervous at the same time.She looked around the room one last time to be sure everything was in the proper place and order. She was putting on a sexy night gown and she smelt of lovely and sweet flowers. She lay on the bed waiting for him to come in. There was no way he wouldn't notice her that night. Her heart skipped a beat when she heard his footsteps approaching. Then the footsteps faded, he probably entered another room. Her heart did a mad palpitation as she anticipated his entrance.When he came inside, she went to him and wrapped him in her arms. He didn't freeze or resist her. But for the first time in many weeks, he stared at her closely. Then he opened his mouth to say something. She tiptoed to plant a kiss on his lips and he frowned his face. He freed himself from her embrace and said coldly,"Sit down. I didn't come all the way to this place for this drama. I came t

Chapter: Four Nelly couldn't lay her hands on his intentions just yet. She was sure he married her for no good reason. Most times, he had a smirk or an expressionless face making it difficult to know what he was thinking or his next line of action. He ignored her, took off his shirt and went into the bathroom. The sound of the shower and the cool music he was playing in the bathroom was the only sound in the room for the next twenty five minutes. Nelly busied herself watching some clips Ash sent to her on how to check the blogs. The sweet and fresh smell from shower gel hit her nose, making her turn. Ivan walked into the room with only a towel wrapped around his lower body. The water dripping from his hair down his chest and arbs made him look sexy and adorable. He had a perfect profile. He raised his eyes and met her gaze. He strode calmly towards her."What is he up to? Why is he coming closer?"He stood in front of her and watched her closely for some seconds. "W..wh..what is the matter?"

Chapter: ThreeIvan smiled."Have a seat."She sat down quietly. She was sure this wasn't the right decision but she was optionless. This was the lesser evil and the only way to save her father. Ivan finished what ever it was he was typing and shut down the laptop. He faced Nelly squarely and stared at her closely, making her uncomfortable. She showed her discomfort by shifting on her seat. He smiled. This was exactly how he had felt all those years when he was her employee. He opened a file on the table and took out two five paged documents. He took a pen from the table and signed both documents. He handed it over to Nelly. The contract duration was two years. Within those two years, she wasn't to do anything that would jeopardize his image. She was expected to do his bidding and the list went on and on. As she read it, she stole occasional glances at Ivan whose gaze was focused on her all along. Then, he would on his own part pay her father's hospital bill and save her dad's company from

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

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

Tu devrais être reconnaissante que je ne t'aie pas emprisonnée, espèce d'éhonté », dit Noah d'un ton impoli.« Je n'ai rien fait. C'est toi qui as profité de moi ! » cria Emily. Elle était surprise par sa déclaration et son courage. Elle ne savait pas d'où lui venait un tel courage.« En effet », railla Noah en concentrant son attention sur la route. Emily se demandait où il l'emmenait, mais elle avait trop peur pour poser la question. Noah Harper était un homme très puissant et capable de tout.Le téléphone de Rose bipa et le dernier bulletin d'information apparut.

"Espèce de salope éhontée, dépêche-toi et présente tes excuses à Maître Jayden", hurla Rose en poussant Emily vers la porte.Pourquoi la poussait-elle ? C'est Rose qui aurait dû être la coupable, pas elle. C'était elle qui l'avait droguée et emmenée chez un inconnu la nuit précédente.« Lâche-moi ! » protesta Emily.« Partir ? Non, tu ne partiras pas. Cours, va t'excuser auprès de Maître Jayden. Tu ne gâcheras pas nos chances. Le mariage doit avoir lieu demain », intervint Olivia.« N'entre plus. Sors ! » cria Rose en la poussant brutalement hors de la pièce.« Tu resteras là jusqu'à ce que tu fasses ce qui est juste. Et si tu ne le fais pas, je t'étranglerai », conclut Rose. Elle la serra contre son cou, l'étranglant. Emily peinait à respirer. Rose la jeta brutalement au sol et lui claqua la porte au visage. Emily toussa et tenta de reprendre son souffle.

Noah Harper était le PDG de Blackwood Towers, l'entreprise la plus puissante du pays. C'était aussi le célibataire le plus en vue de la ville. Il était assis dans la section VIP du restaurant Rossvette, en train de dîner. Son air froid se percevait de loin. Il avait les cheveux courts d'un noir de jais et un visage froid et sévère aux traits marqués. Il dégageait une noblesse et une réserve distantes. Ses doigts délicats se déplaçaient avec aisance sur les couverts.Noah posa soudain ses couverts. « Pourquoi est-ce que je me sens bizarre ? » se demanda-t-il. Il se retourna et appela l'un de ses gardes.« Frank », appela-t-il.Un homme à l’air sérieux est immédiatement apparu.« Oui, monsieur », répondit-il.« As-tu remarqué quelque chose d’inhabituel ? » demanda Noah.« Pas du tout, monsieur. »« Rien à propos de la nourriture et des boissons avant qu'on les apporte ? » Noah scruta davantage Frank, son regard perçant.« Non, monsieur.
