Paige’s POV

“Paige?” Noah noticed me. I gasped as I realized the emotions in his eyes. He’s not scared or shocked that I saw them making out. Instead, he looked pissed. Oh God! I thought I managed to tame his wild heart within a year of our marriage. I was so wrong.

“What are you doing here?” He asked again, fixing his long-sleeves polo. The polo that I gave him last month.

Instead of watching him, I turned to his mistress. Thalia, the well-known actress and model is standing before my eyes, looking at me with disgust when I am the one who should be disgusted by her. I balled my fists and attacked her without a word.

“OUCH!” She screamed after I pulled her hair. I even scratched her arm and tried to choke her but she was able to move away.

“FCK! STOP IT, PAIGE!”

I ignored Noah and continued pulling Thalia’s hair.

“I SAID STOP IT, PAIGE! JUST STOP!”

“NOAH, HELP ME! LET ME GO, YOU SON OF A BITCH! YOU CRAZY!”

I laughed without humor. “YOU ARE A DISGUSTING MISTRESS–”

I was pushed to the ground. I whimpered after I twisted my right wrist. Tears rolled down my cheeks again because of pain but the fact that Noah pushed me to the floor is more painful. He’s now looking at me with rage while hugging his mistress.

I sobbed while looking up at him.

“WHAT THE FCK, PAIGE!” He shouted while his face was so red in anger. He angrily pointed a finger at me. “LEAVE! YOU’RE THE ONE WHO’S DISGUSTING HERE. YOU DISGUST ME!”

I lifted my wrist, showing it to him, hoping he still cares. “I’m hurt, Noah.”

“I DON’T FCKING GIVE A DAMN! LEAVE BEFORE I DRAG YOU OUT MYSELF.”

I felt my heart break. I cried harder as I watched him cupping Thalia’s cheeks. Slowly, I tried to lift myself up. Oliver helped me. I saw the employees of Hanson Group watching us through the open door. I bit my bottom lip as I feel like I’m drowning in shame. I slowly walked to the door. For the last time, I looked back at Noah, hoping he’d change his mind and choose me but he’s too busy taking care of his first love.

I sucked my breath as I realized the situation. I pity myself. I’m so helpless and broken. I swallowed hard and sobbed again. He just broke me completely. Why did he have to punish me like this?

***

“You shouldn’t leave the hospital, Paige. Look what happened to you. Why did you injure your wrist?”

Aunt Precy keeps on nagging at me while looking at the bandage in my right wrist. I can’t answer. I’m staring at the ceiling while keeping my lips pressed. My mind was blank. I don’t understand anything that Aunt Precy is saying. My mind wasn’t able to process everything that happened. It’s still not clear ‘cause my mind won’t accept it.

Two days later and I’m not going back to Noah’s mansion. I stayed in my Aunt Precy’s house together with her three sons, my cousins.

I was watching television when the news suddenly flashed. It was a photo of two familiar people. The shot was taken secretly but their faces are clear as a crystal.

“Is that Noah?” Aunt Precy asked aggressively. She was pointing at the television while looking at me.

I looked away, avoiding her eyes.

“Tell me what really happened, Paige. Is this the reason why you’re acting strange? Is this the reason why you’re not going home?”

I chewed my bottom lip. I saw one of my cousins going down the stairs. His eyes landed on the television and his forehead creased. “Noah is having an affair? What the hell, Paige!”

I rose from the couch. I winced when my injured wrist accidentally hit the couch. The doctor said I need surgery but I’m not in the condition to think about anything.

“Paige!” Aunt Precy called me, annoyed. That’s when I silently burst into tears. I’m not going home because I don’t want to accept the fact that Noah is divorcing me. Now that their relationship has been publicized, I don’t know what to do anymore.

Unable to take the pain and shame, I ran upstairs and locked myself in my bedroom. I cried my heart out. I cried in pain. I cried everything as I slept through the pain, hoping that when I woke up, I’d feel better. But it was still the same. When I woke up the next day, shocking news exploded in my face. Noah was sent to a hospital because someone beat him up yesterday. I have a hunch about who did it but I’m too worried to confront him.

I was running down the stairs when Ares, one of my cousins, blocked my way. He was staring at me with anger in his eyes. “Where are you going, Paige? You’re going to him?”

I stared at him. “I know it was you who beat him up, Ares.”

He clenched his jaws. “He deserves it, Paige.”

“Why do you have to do that, Ares?” I asked, raising my voice.

I saw Aunt Precy, Achilles, and Alex looking at us. I clenched my jaws as I glared at Ares. “You don’t have to beat him up!”

“I know you’re so freaking in love with that bastard, but think about yourself, Paige. He disrespected you. He hurt you. How stupid can you be? Let him go now!”

I shook my head and wiped the tears that rolled down my cheeks. I pushed him away and ran out of the house. I heard them calling me but I ignored them. I called a taxi and went to the hospital where Noah is admitted. I opened the door with my heart pounding in so much worry, but for the nth time, I died. Seeing him kissing and pinning Thalia down on the bed as if he’s not injured made me realize something.

Ares was right. He disrespected me and kept on disrespecting me. This is our end. I’m going to accept it now. I give up. I… I surrender.

  • Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant   Chapter 100 The Ending

    Noah's POVI'm sitting on the bench while reading a book. Isaiah is with me. He's winking and waving at every college girls who pass in front of us. I frowned even more when he gave them flying kisses. I shook my head. He's hopeless. I'm a womanizer but not in school. I'm also choosing the woman I'd flirt with, not like him who would flirt with every woman he sees."She's looking at you again."My forehead creased and looked in the direction where Isaiah is looking. My eyebrow automatically shot up after I caught her staring at me. She quickly averted her gaze but it doesn't change the fact that she's been stalking me ever since we bumped into each other in the library.Isaiah moved closer to me to whisper. "Cousin, why don't you entertain her? Can't you see? She's cute."I glared at Isaiah. "You know I like Thalia. And damn, cousin. Can't you see that woman's face? She's too innocent. She looked like a baby."Isaiah's laughter broke. "That's the point, cousin. She looks like a baby.

It's making my heart jump in so much happiness.I chewed my bottom lip as I held my bouquet tight. I'm nervous. I'm standing in front of the glass house. We're having a beach wedding and this is actually my dream wedding.I smiled as I looked at the horizon. The calm sea is so beautiful to watch. I could spend my whole day watching the ocean."Paige!"I looked at Tessa. She's beautiful in her dress. I smiled and waved at her. "Hi."She stared at me while smiling. "You're so beautiful."I chuckled and caressed her hair. "Thank you. You're so beautiful too, Tessa."She giggled. "I know right."I smiled and stared at her. "Do you wanna share something with me?"Her smile faded and she pouted. She even rolled her eyes as she answered. "I'll tell you everything soon. Fo

    Paige's POV"I think something is going on between Tessa and Steve," I whispered to Noah while we're in his office. I visited him here today. He's very busy. So, I visited him. I also brought him lunch.He turned to me. His eyes are tired and sleepy. His reddish lips are slightly parted and wet. I would want to kiss those lips all day. "You think so?"I nodded. "Yup!"He started massaging his temple. I smiled while watching him. I understand that he's tired. He's managing two companies and it's easy. I don't know how to help him, so taking care of him while he's working is the least thing I can do.I pulled myself up and started massaging his temple. He froze and looked at me. I smiled and crouched behind him. I kissed his nose. "Let me massage you."He smiled and squeezed his eyes closed, allowing me to do what I wanted."Paige…""Hmm?""You think the kids will forgive us when the right time comes?"I froze for a second and heaved a sigh. "I hope so, Noah."He opened his eyes and our

I know Asher already has an idea, I just hope he will understand.We're staying in Noah's house since the renovation of Aunt Precy's house is still ongoing. It's been 3 months since the incident happened. After the explosion, Neo and Noah came out from the side of the burning house. Neo said he saw Noah entering, following Tessa who's being dragged by Wilson, so he followed.I'm so thankful to Neo. Actually, Isaiah tried to follow Tessa too, but one of the hired killers tried to shoot my dad, so he saved my dad first. I was too oblivious to what's happening behind me that night because I was too focused on the burning house."I'm back!" Tessa entered the house with a big smile plastered on her lips. She's c

    Paige's POVI was entering the gate of Aunt Precy's house wearing a simple white dress. Underneath, on my legs, there's a knife. No one knows about this knife. I wanted to make sure so I prepared this and myself.I looked up at the sky. It's so dark and there's no star. It seems like it's gonna rain and the sky is also prepared for the dangerous event that will happen here later.Truthfully, I'm scared. It turns out Papa hired some criminals to execute his plans. The police confirmed that the people who put the death threat was a group of hired killers that has been roaming around the country. The police also warned us about the possibility that they knew our plans but that was just a 10 percent chance. The 90 percent were on our side."Paige, come with me. It's Noah…"My eyes widened. "Huh? What happened to Noah? And what are you doing here, Isaiah?"Isaiah shook his head and grabbed my arm. "Let's go!"I roamed my eyes around with a confused expression on my face. I even noticed a c

On the arm rest of the single couch was Ares, who's looking at me with furrowed eyebrows. I know he's thinking the same. If dad's not here, Ares will be the one to scold me and I'd rather have dad scold me than him. Ares is just so scary when he's angry."You can't ignore something that could bring complications, Paige. If Achilles didn't see the death threat, would you tell us about you meeting your grandfather and receiving death threats from him?"I heaved a sigh. "Dad, the death threats aren't for me. It's for you and Noah. Papa wants to harm the both of you and I'm worried because I didn't know he's still capable of hiring someone to do that."Dad laughed without humor. "Even so!
