I gulped. Technically speaking, I got no answer to that. Also, I never thought Noah would have asked me that question. Like Ginger said, I was born in a really really ordinary and shabby family. My mom was just a florist and my dad was a bus driver. I could hardly imagine how much I would pay for him since it was me who hit on him first and it definitely should be me to pay the bill. “The truth is, I got no money. And I just regret reaching you because you even have a bid price, which is totally beyond my imagination.” Noah wasn’t irritated. On the contrary, he even smiled to me and gently responded, “Oh, sorry for that. I think I should have sign it on the homepage of my F******k. As you can remember that you are the one who hit on me first.” Of course I did! How could I ever forget about that! I started getting regretful! Though I knew he was saying that for fun, I still couldn’t calm myself down by just erasing everything that happened between us. “Listen, Noah. I ... em... Th
*** Flash back*** “I hate the scar which makes you imperfect.” When we finished our sex, Fletcher hugged me and tenderly touched my skin. “It’s pretty ugly, isn’t it?”I softly rubbed it. “How did you get that?”Fletcher was curious but gentle. Somehow, I missed the old version of him. “I don’t actually remember. Just some falling happened in my teens?” “Teens? How dumb you! It’s just a decade of years ago, how could you not remember that?”Fletcher began to tickle me hard. “No! Stop! Fletcher!” I dodged. “Ok. Fine! I’ll tell you the truth.” Fletcher stopped his movement right away. I was a little bit disappointed, “Oh god! You don’t really get over with that, right?” “Well. we should save this moment, Joan. Though it is ugly, you are honest to me about it, which is considered to be a way of trust, isn’t it?”Fletcher took a picture of my scar and I was totally comforted. He didn’t take me as a monster with that scar, I was super flattered. “With this picture, can you tell me what
Honestly, I didn’t expect that he would have known the little secret of mine.“How did you know that?” I spoke with a bit uncertainty.“Fletcher is my nephew, but he is...” Noah stopped to make a gesture of cutting his throat.“He is a total bastard.” I viciously said it. “So you know all these things, right? Stealing my pic and showing on the screen, and finally finding fault with me. Is this all your plan?”Noah wasn’t irritated. He sighed and explained.“I will not be responsible for this. Actually, the picture is from a woman.”A woman? I felt a question mark in my eyes. Suddenly, I realized all about this.“You mean, Karen?”I said in disbelief.Noah slightly nodded his head and added, “The woman in the hotel with Fletcher in the hotel. Your sister, right?”I started to get sick. Why would they do this to me?“I need to figure all this out.” I still didn’t take it as the final score. I lost the game, but I wouldn’t say no to my fate. It was unfair!“Noah!” Jode Hagens came to us. H
I had always dreamt to be one of David’s students, so it was so hard for me to say No to him right at that moment. I was hurrying to find out Noah’s vermilion nevus among dozens of pictures, but I just couldn’t resist talking with David. “Oh hi, Mr Syrus. Nice to see you here. Are you here to be auctioned?”I was supposed to make it easier to talk with my idol, but it seemed I screwed it up entirely. “Well. Kind of..”He nicely smiled and narrowed his slender eyes. “So Noah was willing to let out to find something fresh?” That was a bit offensive, but I took that as a joke like I said just now. “No no, I wasn’t his fiancee. I’m just...” Yeah, right. If I wasn’t his fiancee, what was I doing here? It was Upper East Siders only party. I had no qualification to be here. However, I didn’t want myself to be judged and labled as belongings of anyone. “Don’t be nervous. I’m just kidding. Since you just tole me that you want my Phd, I want to know something about human relations with soci
Joan's POV I slept with my boyfriend’s uncle Noah when I found that Fletcher cheated on me. You are not wrong, to revenge, the one who I vented my desire on was an immoral one in most of your eyes,but as the youngest kid in the Hugo family,Noah was the at the same age as my boyfriend, no, now I should say, my ex-boyfriend, Fletcher. The last time when I saw Noah was on a business party held by my company, Skyscraper. He attended the party as the director of their family company. If Fletcher had not been such incompetent, it would be him who’s in charge of the company instead of his uncle. I noticed him once I glanced at where he stood, but we had no chance to have a chat or even exchange our names.I used to hear his story from Fletcher, and he called his uncle “Perpetual-man” for he would never feel exhausted while confronting work.As for this workaholic’s real name, I had not been sure at that time,maybe it was Noah or Norman. During the whole party,my mind was filled with his f
Joan's POV I didn’t expect he would recognize me, but he did. I wonder whether it was good news or bad news for me, but I was sure this must be breaking news. He came closer, shaking the phone in his hand. “If my memory is not wrong, you are...” He signaled me to check my message. Sure enough, I knew there must be a decision lying ahead, waiting for me. But I was a coward. A total Scaramouch. I just wanted to eat my words. By no means should I send him those stupid messages. I started to show a face of embarrassment. Luckily, Sophie texted me.「How do you feel now?」 I dialed her number and got ready to ask for her saving my ass. We had a deal before— “CCC” stood for the crisis attacking soon. God! She finally picked up. “Hey Sophie.I’m feeling much better now. I hope you to see the CCC. BYE!” Noah was still standing there, silently and politely. Awkward as I was, the smile must be the priority. “Girl’s date. Sorry.”At least, this excuse to refuse him seemed a sort if reasonable.
Joan's POV Noah’s lips softly kissed my naked neck and then I felt he bit my collarbone slightly. “It’s hurt.” I moaned. Noah didn’t say anything but to continue what he was doing. His tough hands caressed my boobs and then went down to my thighs. Subconsciously,my legs drew close to each other. His index finger drew circles around my private part, like a waltz. God, this was itching, but I swear this was the happiest sex I ever had. Soon, there was a heat in my body and my legs couldn’t help quivering. When I slept with Fletcher, he never gave me any foreplay but to insert his ugly cock into my pussy and started his repeated movements. Rarely could I experience the orgasms. I seemed that I was just his sex slave. Noah’s finger drove me crazy, I bit my lip tightly and frowned a little, and I felt my skin almost burning. "Groan as you wish." He whispered the words into my ear. Far from knowing that this was the fuse that would set my body on fire, I began to writhe and search for
Joan's POV It was nearly noon when I returned to my apartment, and the smell of baked breads from a cafe came to me. I could even hear the sound of my starving stomach, but I wasn't in a bit mood of having any of them. Unlocking the door, I found Fletcher was no returning home yet. Through all night, he must have been fooling around with Karen again! My anger was really hard to eliminate. I threw the keys away! Poor keys but only in this way, could I give vent to my anger! Why was I such angry? Because I still had affection on Fletcher? Of course the answer was NO.Mt feelings to him had gone away, but I hate them, Fletcher and Karen. I took Karen as my family, my friend, but what she gave me was betrayal. Damn it! What’s more, Noah’s behavior made my revenge a comedy show and I was taken an idiot! Even though I thought taking some photos as evidence of revenge,I ran away immediately with desperation. I was studying in Harvard University as a master, majoring in Human and Social Re
