Chapter 5: Confessions The door closed with a click, sealing Gabriel and Noah inside the master bedroom. Noah backed away until his thighs hit the edge of the bed. He stared at Gabriel, his mind racing with everything that had happened over the past few hours."You are staying here tonight again," Gabriel said, as he unbuttoned his suit. "The staff is preparing the guest room for Sophia."Noah let out a harsh, breathless laugh. "The doctor just confirmed that she is carrying your child, and you are acting like nothing happened."Gabriel pulled his jacket off and draped it over the chair. "It changes nothing between us. Your contract is still in effect.""She's a female with a child!" Noah yelled, stepping forward as his anger flared again. "Do you expect me to just sit here while your pregnant mistress lives under the same roof?!"Gabriel’s eyes darkened as he took two long strides toward Noah, closing the distance between them instantly. "Watch how you talk about my household.""I

Chapter 4: A Positive TestNoah was on his knees on the floor, dipping his yellow sponge into the soapy bucket. His back was already aching him, and his hands were getting sore.The front door automatically opened, and a tall woman in a designer gown walked straight into the foyer, completely ignoring the two security guards behind her.Noah pulled his hands back from the bucket, watching in disbelief as her heel prints ruined the floor he had just spent three hours wiping.The woman stopped right in front of his bucket, looking down at his soapy hands and dirty robe with utter disgust. "Where is Gabriel?"Noah stayed on his knees, his jaw tightening as he held his rag. "He is upstairs in his study. You need to let the butler announce you first.""Announce me?" she sneered, her eyes flashing with anger. "Do you have any idea who I am, you little servant?!!""I am not a servant," Noah said clearly, looking straight up into her eyes. "And I think Mr. Cole does not like it when people b

Chapter 3: The Deception UncoveredThe maid tapped Noah gently on the shoulder. "Mr. Bennett, you need to wake up right now. Young master wants you out of bed."Noah opened his eyes, wincing at the sharp soreness in his hips. He pulled out the white duvet over his bare chest and sat up slowly. "Where is Gabriel?""He is down the hall in his private study, sir," the maid said, handing him a black robe. "I brought you some warm tea to help with your pain.""Thank you," Noah shylishly whispered, slipping his arms into the wide sleeves of the robe.I quickly picked up the porcelain tea cup and left the maid in the room, he walked down the hallway towards the directed study.As he approached the entrance, Gabriel’s deep voice echoed clearly from inside the room."The final payment has been sent to your account, Arthur," Gabriel said into his phone. "The entire deal is completely settled."Noah stopped dead in his tracks outside the door, utterly confused about what he just heard."Everyth

Chapter 2: The TermsThe driver killed the engine in front of the massive white compound. Noah sat in the back seat of the car, staring at the huge doors and decors of the house. His chest felt heavy, but he forced himself to open the door and step out.The elderly butler stepped down from the porch, bowing his head slightly as he gestured toward the entrance. "Welcome to the estate, Mr. Bennett. Mr. Cole is waiting for you in his private quarters on the second floor."Noah picked up his small suitcase, but the butler immediately took the handle from his grip. "I will take your bag to the room. You must go upstairs now."Noah walked towards the front door, and was immediately taken aback, as the door automatically opened on its own.Then a maid walked up to him, bowing slowly. “Follow me sir.” The maids said and started walking towards the staircase. Noah followed her closely. The mansion was completely silent, except for the sound of their shoes against the floor. When they reache

Chapter 1: The CollateralNoah dropped to his knees on the office floor, holding onto the hem of Gabriel’s trousers. "Please, Gabriel, do not destroy my family! Give us more time!"Gabriel looked down at him with a cold face and pulled his leg back, stepping out of reach. "Your sister ran away on her wedding morning, Noah. The deal is off."Noah scrambled up off the ground, his chest heaving as panic took over his mind. If Gabriel sue them, the fourteen million dollar debt would crush his family, sending his uncle straight to prison and leaving them broke on the streets as he would take over their remaining assets.Gabriel turned his back and walked toward his wide desk. "I am calling my legal team right now to seize your family assets."Noah’s head spun as he tried to think of anything to stop him. Before he could stop himself, he yelled out, "Take me instead! Do not destroy my family!"Gabriel stopped in his tracks and turned around slowly. His eyes locked onto Noah with surprise.
