Darren's POV"Don't get cocky, Noella. I can't accept that you've rejected my good intentions. Are you saying you don't want to know me anymore? You should be grateful that you were once my lover. And as my ex-lover, it should be an honor for you. I've helped you, raised your status, and lived in luxurious places, nice vehicles, and beautiful clothes. But why did you choose to hate me instead?" I moaned in front of her face. Noella looked at me coldly, but no words escaped her lips. Maybe she feels surprised and hurt that I brought up our past. But I don't care anymore."I'll make sure you live a calmer and more comfortable life with me than you do with her. I guarantee your life will be better than it is now. "Instead of you being his servant and living a miserable life, wouldn't it be better to be with me?" I reassured her. "Stop, Darren," she said with a serious look."I'll save you from Enrick if you ask me to take you back. Stay with me and you'll be fine. But why are you so st
Noella’s POVI was still frozen in place when I realized who the person was who had thrown Darren so easily onto the street. His face looked scary, sinister, and sharp. His eyes radiated a cold aura, sending chills down my spine. My heart raced as he stood there, silent and staring at me with an intensity that scared me. "En, Enrick," I muttered in a trembling voice. "Weren't you out of town on business? Why are you back? Is your business done?" I asked him who hadn't said anything yet. "I felt uneasy about leaving you here alone. So I decided to go back and bring you. I didn't expect to see you with another man," he said flatly. "But I didn't..." I was nervous when he thought otherwise. "Don't worry, dear. I was just joking. You wait here. I'll take care of that little bitch. You just wait," Enrick said and turned to Darren. Before long, Enrick was right before Darren, who was certainly taller than Enrick. Face, body, name, and wealth, Enrick was far above Darren, and that was wh
Noella’s POVEnrick's company was working on many projects this month. That's why the sounds of printers, tapping keyboards, and ringing phones blended into a symphony of corporate life that never seemed to stop. Almost all the employees were excited because of the report deadline. But in the midst of the hustle and bustle, Noella sat at her desk, eyes glued to Enrick's empty desk because the owner had gone somewhere else. "It feels lonely when he's not there," I muttered weakly, then let out a long breath. "Should there be an important meeting over the weekend?" I lamented, remembering his hectic schedule for the next two weeks. I looked back at my computer screen that displayed my unfinished work. "I have to finish this report before the deadline." I exhaled again and went back to dragging my fingers over the PC keyboard. But the more I tried, the harder it became, even if I forced my mind to focus. Usually, Enrick would offer me coffee or just make me blush with a smile. But by
Noella’s POVI stepped cautiously into Enrick's room, where the source of the strange noise was coming from with curiosity. But my expression changed drastically when I could see a woman who was on top of Enrick's body with provocative movements. While Enrick was lying on the bed and just staying still.I was pretty surprised to see the scene right before my eyes. Until subconsciously, my eyes widened, and my lips clenched tightly. The woman was moving with seductive movements as if she were luring Enrick with her alluring charms. Her hands were fingering every inch of Enrick's muscular body, even with his body twisting like a snake on the prowl."Enrick," I called softly.The woman heard my voice and immediately turned around. Realizing my presence, she pretended to be surprised and immediately picked up Enrick's suit lying on the floor. Then, she wore it in slow motion to cover most of her exposed body like she was deliberately provoking me with her actions. "Oh my, Mr. Enrick. We'
Noella’s POVThe atmosphere in Enrick's room was tense as he waited for the results of the Noble family doctor's provisional examination. The room was so quiet that even breathing, some guards and servants didn't seem to dare after what had happened to their master.I stood not far from the doctor, who carefully examined Enrick's condition. Next to me was Sasa, who was trying to calm me down and ensure that I was always okay and remained calm despite my worries. She always rubbed my back if I started to get uneasy. "Calm down, ma'am. The master must be alright. Mr. Enrick has a strong body," he said, trying to calm me down. I couldn't help but tremble as I waited for the examination results. Even from a glance, I could tell that Enrick was not well. He lay weakly under his warm blanket. His eyes were closed tightly as if he was too tired to fall asleep there. The doctor carefully observed Enrick's body condition, performing complicated examinations. I breathed heavily, waiting anxi
Noella's POVI carried the tray with lunch and medicine to Enrick's room. I wanted to make sure that Enrick got good treatment and a speedy recovery after the terrible incident a few days ago. But when I entered the room, I was surprised to see him struggling to get up. "Enrick, wait," I called out worriedly. Afraid he'd fallen. Enrick turned his head and then ignored me. He kept trying to get up with his own effort. Although with great difficulty, he was finally able to sit on the edge of the bed with his legs dangling down. Even though he wasn't sitting in the right position yet. I quickly approached him and helped Enrick to sit up properly. "Gosh, you won't listen to me, Enrick. What's so hard about waiting for me for just a moment?" I grumbled, which I couldn't hold back. I had forgotten what my status was in that house. Just a contract lover really. But instead of being upset or angry, Enrick smiled weakly. "I'm fine, Noella," he replied in a calm voice. "I just want to try t
Noella’s POVI pushed Enrick's wheelchair slowly towards his room. The cool night air couldn't erase the fatigue that was evident on her face after being out of the room all day. The encounter with the maid was quite draining and emotional. He wanted to rest immediately and I would make sure he would be comfortable in his bed. Upon arriving at the room, I quickly prepared the bed and pillows so that he could rest in peace. After making sure everything was ready, I helped Enrick move from the wheelchair to the bed. He carefully lay down and let out a long sigh, looking relieved to be able to lay down on the bed. I sat on the edge of his bed, looking at Enrick with concern. "Are you comfortable? Do I need to add a pillow?" "No need, Noella. It's comfortable enough for me," Enrick replied returning my gaze. "Enrick," I called softly, "I want to know, how did that happen to you? I know you're a very careful and alert man. But how did that happen?" I honestly still couldn't believe En
Noella’s POVTwo days later, I walked to Enrick's room, to check on him. But when I opened the door, the room was empty. The bed was made, a sign that he hadn't left his room long ago. I sighed, trying to guess where he was. Suddenly, I thought of his workplace. With quick steps, I made my way to Enrick's study which was not far from his room. The reading room that she had transformed into a workspace. Upon opening the door, I was immediately greeted by an elegant and calm atmosphere. The room was dominated by shades of beige and ivory white, giving off a warm and clean impression. The walls were decorated with several abstract paintings that gave it an artistic touch, while bookshelves full of thick books lined up neatly along the walls. Enrick sat behind his large, elegant desk made of dark wood that contrasted with the ambience of the room. He looked very serious, staring intensely at his computer screen. The desk was full of files."No wonder I saw Calend earlier. She brought wo
