Chapter: 19. Connection Between You And I"Are you fucking blind! You're deliberately trying to hurt yourself!"Natasha was silent, confused, staring at Christian who was scolding her. She was in Christian's car next to him, while Jonas was driving."I am sorry," she answered flatly.Silence ensued. Natasha didn't respond. She was still shocked by Anastasia. She insisted that she wasn't at fault. Anastasia hit her, and she was the one at fault."Where should we go, Sir?" Jonas ventured to ask, confused about where to take Natasha."Take Natasha home?" Christian said firmly."Just drop me at the bus stop.""Take Natasha home!" Christian emphasized his words once again. This time, it was more firm, as if Natasha had no right to refuse. ***Christian's car arrived in front of Natasha's residence. Coincidentally, Marry had just come out of the house. She saw Natasha getting out of a luxury car. Her eyes widened as she smiled broadly, watching Christian, a man in an expensive suit, with straight shoulders, a broad chest, and a cl

Chapter: 18. The Accident Natasha immediately wiped her face. She didn't want her boss to know about this. She didn't even know why she suddenly started crying."No, um. I got something in my eye. I think the weather is bad. My eyes are dehydrated."Anastasia quickly returned to the front. Customers were waiting to order coffee. Robert noticed Natasha's behavior. Even though she didn't say anything, he felt that Natasha was hiding something."Well, at least she's still professional," Robert muttered.***Christian stared at the cup of coffee on his desk. His gaze didn't move an inch. The coffee, which had been hot, instantly cooled because it was being stared at."You want some coffee, Chris?" Jonas said."Hmm..." Christian muttered.Jonas was confused because Christian had been staring at the coffee for some time. He said a few things about work, but Christian only responded with a serious muttering. Jonas checked the time. There was no movement at all."Is something wrong?" Jonas asked.Christian looked up,

Chapter: 17. Don't Bother Me This morning Christian woke up very early. He and Jonas jogged before leaving for the office. Christian glanced at Jonas several times. He still feels bad because his parents plan to set him up with Ana."Jonas, you want us to take a vacation?" asked Christian trying to open the conversation. "To be honest, I'm getting tired."They ran side by side so they could chat."You have much work to do. Did you forget? That this week you have a meeting with investors," Jonas said without expression, and his tone was even."Let my father meet them. I want to take a trip overseas. We can go up North. I hear the girls there are hot and attractive," Christian says.Jonas suddenly stopped. He looked at Christia. His facial expression looks annoyed."What?" asked Christian, afraid of his friend's expression."You're getting engaged to Ana. Why are you still thinking about other women?" Jonas looks annoyed. Very annoyed.Christian shakes his head. "I'm not going to do it," Christian replied, tapping

Chapter: 16. Arrange Married Christian sits in the dining room with the guests. Anastasia was busy talking to Linda and Alan. Meanwhile, Tina and Peter were also busy praising Christian to his parents.Christian is not calm here. He is concerned with his best friend and assistant, Jonas. Occasionally Christian looks at Anastasia or Ana, as she is usually called. Ana is beautiful. She is a smart girl from a fairly well-off family. Christian doesn't understand why his parents set him up with Ana. All of this is too sudden. Christian never even thought of Ana as a woman."Chris, why have you been silent all this time? Is something wrong?" asked Tina, Ana's mother.Christian would love to say that he has no feelings for Ana. Instead, he wanted to set Ana up with Jonas because he knew that Jonas had had a crush on Ana for a long time. Even though Jonas never said anything. Christian knows very well that Jonas' attitude is different every time he is with Ana."Oh, I'm just a little unwell. I just got back from the hosp

Chapter: 15. Honeymoon is Over "I just wanted to thank someone, Mom. Is that wrong?" Natasha asked. Her face changed, not as cheerful as before. Her eyes suddenly dimmed.Marry approached Natasha. She then turned off the stove because the water was already boiling. Natasha looked at Marry, the woman she now called 'Mom.' The woman who saved her life for the past five years."Change your clothes. I will make tea for your guest," said Marry.Natasha was silent for a moment. She sighed as if feeling very tired today. She then rushed to the room like Marry wanted.While Natasha was changing clothes, Mary brought tea and snacks to the living room. When she saw a handsome young man sitting in the living room of her house, Marry was stunned. Natasha never invites anyone to come to this house. This is a rare thing to happen.Looking at the photos, Jonas was surprised when he saw a middle-aged woman coming with tea and snacks. He immediately stood up."No need. Please sit down. I just want to know my daughter's guests," Marr

Chapter: 14. You Want Me To Be Likes You?Christian is still in that position. The position where he was on top of Natasha's body. Staring at the girl's face with his heart beating increasingly erratic. He wanted to get up, but his chest felt very strange."Ah!" Christian squealed, clutching his right chest.Doctor Nick Brown watches as Christian groans. He immediately helped Christian quickly get up. Christian sat down while Natasha was still on the bed. Now she felt something strange. It was clear that Phillips was here, but this man made her feel the presence of Philips, who had been dead for five years.Natasha's tears welled up. She didn't understand what this feeling was. She looked at Christian, who was being comforted by Doctor Nick. The man turned out to be a patient.Natasha got up too. She stares at Christian's face. It's weird. She wasn't wearing this man, but why did she feel something so familiar?"Tell me who are you?" she asked. This time it was in question.Christian turns to Natasha. He's calmer now, likewise

Chapter: 63. I Am So Sorry, NoahCasey POVI’m sitting on my bedroom floor, staring off into space. My stomach’s killing me. Chills are shooting right through my bones. I know I’m gonna fight with my mom. It’s like we’re cursed to never get along. I know she loves me, but I’ll never get what goes on in her head. Why’d she have to meet Becky five years ago? Why did that whole thing have to happen? Why do I have to go through all this shit?“Darling, you need to eat dinner.”“I can take care of myself, Mom.”“I know you’re mad, but don’t hurt yourself over this.”I don’t wanna say anything. My mom never wants to get how I feel.Next morning I head out to the garage. I know I’m being stupid. I shouldn’t even be here. I should’ve just left my car here and headed back to Center City.“You’re here.” Jordan greets me.I smile, but inside I’m dying of embarrassment. My eyes drift to my car—still completely untouched.“Your car needs some serious TLC. How long’s it been since you brought it in? You skip maintenance or what?”

That’s… that’s a dope idea… but honestly? You’re better off staying in Center City.”“Why? You said you wanted to date me, didn’t you?”“Hm, yeah. But I like a little challenge. And aren’t you still trying to get back at your ex-fiancé? I can just come visit you in Center City and… ““That’s what you’re thinking about? Noah, you actually want to get revenge… “I flashed her a smile. One I knew would make her melt. She pulled me in, and next thing I knew, we were making out. It didn't take long ‘til I had her clothes off. I turned into a total animal up there on the bed. Been way too long holding back all this tension. Reemar knew her way around. Her body was on fire, and kept me on my toes. I got her off fast, then took what I wanted. That’s all it was. Yeah, just that. But… nah. Who am I kidding? I had a plan. And Reemar? Sh

As soon as Reemar told me Noah had been hitting on her, I hopped in my car and drove straight to his garage.Noah was quiet. He was sitting on a car hood, staring at me with a tiny, mocking smile.“Why? Do you fucking care?”I let out a cold laugh. “Of course I do. Reemar’s my friend. She’s not like all those other girls you can just destroy.”“Destroy her? Who’s destroying who, Casey? What do you even think of me?”“You mean to tell me you’re actually trying to date Reemar? You think I’d buy that shit?”“Hmmm. I’m dead serious. I do want to date her. She’s cute, she’s honest. She sees me for who I am without looking down on me.”“Did you tell her you’ve been to jail?”“I’m serious about Reemar. There’s nothing I’d hide from her.”I tugged at my hair in frustration. My thoughts were all jumbled. Noah’s answer was clear, bu

Chapter: 60. The Bitter Love And HateNoah POVSilence mixed with tension flooded the air. I went quiet after spilling everything I’d been holding in for so long. And Casey… man, she was crying, crying like someone who’d just lost everything.The damage I’d taken was too much. Losing James wasn’t easy, and then Black Hell getting shut down on top of that? My dad treated me like a stranger now, even though he gave me a fresh start after I got out of jail. But without James and Black Hell, I was just a loser.“Get out of here, Casey. Wood Town ain’t good enough for you,” I said, making sure my voice was cold as ice.Casey was the reason all this happened. My biggest regret was not listening to James. I never should’ve gone near her, but… even though I was so mad. Even though I blamed her for every single problem, there was a part of me that missed her. I couldn’t help it.“I am sorry,” Casey whispered, her voice scratchy. “Forgive me for causing all this.”I took a deep breath. “Apologize don't bring James back, Casey.”“Th

I can’t… “I wasn’t ready to get soaked in river water. I just wanted to tag along with him.“Good idea!”Noah popped up from the water, climbing onto the bank. His eyes had that look. The one I knew all too well. That damn sneer of his was familiar as hell.“No, Noah, no!”Noah shook his head. He closed in on me, lifting my body with Reemar’s help.“Fuck, let me go!”They swung me around. Laughing their asses off. The river water was like it was waving at me. Oh, no…In seconds, my body was flying into the river. One minute the air was free and clear. The next, cold, crisp water was wrapping around me. I lost control for a second, water flooding my nose and mouth, but only for a beat before my brain snapped back to reality. I tried to push my head up, kicking my legs. The current was a little strong. I could stand, but my foot slipped. I

Chapter: 58. Noah Is The Kind BoyCasey POV“Going out?” I raised my voice as Reemar tried to talk me into hanging out.Real talk, I’d asked for a week in Wood Town just to chill. My schedule in Center City was insane, and it was all so emotionally draining. I needed a break from all the chaos. And one of the reasons I didn’t stay at my mom’s place? I really wanted some me-time, just for myself.“Please, Casey. Noah made time for us. He said he wants to show us around Wood Town.”“Us?” I mumbled, taking a deep breath.Reemar gave me those puppy dog eyes. You know the ones, like he wasn’t gonna back down till I said yes.“Alright, alright, but… “ I trailed off, hinting at conditions.“I’ll go along with whatever rules you lay down.”I couldn’t say no to Reemar. Even though he never said it out loud, I knew his heart was broken. He was trying to distract himself from it all. I’d checked his fiancé’s socials, and the dude posted wedding pics. Reemar still hadn’t unfollowed him. Which meant he hadn’t fully let go of Patri

Cillian was always like this, but then it all became an illusion, yet my heart was racing. Not because I was scared, but because of the butterflies in my stomach caused by Cillian's gaze."Let me go, Cillian," I whispered, even though my hands weren't fully pushing him away.Cillian moved closer instead, his rough fingers gently caressing my chin, forcing me to look at him."Can you just see me, Sav? What should I do? What should I do to make you look at me? Please...""I'm doing it, Cillian." I tried to push him away. "You’re always making me second-guess everything.”“Second-guess? You’re the one who doesn’t want to find out, Sav.”“I don’t want to argue. Alright, we’re sharing a room now. And then what?”Cillian laughed cynically. “Always changing the subject. It’s you, Savannah.”Cillian pulled my hand, pressing it against his chest. I could feel his heart beating fast."Feel it," Cillian said.Wh

We are going to fuck.""No, Rowan. I'm pregnant!""You're pregnant? I'll get you pregnant too."Rowan went crazy. He lost control of himself. Well, I knew about his habits, but he never forced me unless he was drunk. And in the past, I never refused, but now I don't want to be degraded like this.Rowan ripped my clothes off. I was no match for him, but I continued to resist."Calm down, Savannah. You wanted a little excitement, didn't you? You're jealous of Suzan because we did it so well.""I don't care.

I had tried so hard to keep them apart. I immediately headed to Savannah's office. I didn't care if I had to blow my cover as Savannah's husband. I had promised to protect her. What worried me was Rowan's plan. This couldn't be a coincidence."Cillian..."Greta immediately approached me when I got out of my car."Where's Savannah?" I was very agitated. Feelings of anxiety mixed with anger made it impossible for me to pretend anymore."She's not here, Cillian," said Greta. "She's gone with her ex-husband.""What?" I was losing control. Greta grabbed my arm, clinging to me like a vine. "You should find out if Savannah and her ex are really over. It seems like they secretly love each other," said Greta."Love?" I shuddered.

How could I make her happy?"Savannah, please…"I stood in front of the door even though Savannah remained adamant about not opening it. I was even willing to sit in front of her room.
