Thankfully, the following day was a Saturday, so, first thing the following morning, Noelle had walked into one of the biggest shopping malls in Milan. Her first stop had been a dress shop. As much as she had a few dresses in her wardrobe, none of them seemed to be appropriate enough for the occasion. So, after a few minutes of searching, she finally found the perfect dress; a long sleeved, v neck, black mini dress, that hugged her curves in the most flattering way. Pleased with her choice, she proceeded to pick out a pair of heels, but much to her dismay, was stopped by the store clerk. “What seems to be the problem?” “The dress,” the lady explained, pointing at attire. “It’s already been picked out by a customer.”Noelle frowned. Another customer? But she had just chosen it. “You can’t be serious.” She was about to ask the clerk if there was a mistake, but the latter cut her off. “Yes, the dress is taken.” Before she could respond, a familiar voice spoke from behi

“Well, that went well.” Noelle commented as they walked towards the exit.“Better than I had expected, that’s for sure,” Came Wallace’s response, but unlike hers, there was no trace of amusement or any other kind of emotion, in his voice.Arching a brow, Noelle glanced at him, not missing the way his jaw was clenched, or the tight grip he had on her hand.Something was up, and judging by the unspoken tension in the air, the events that had transpired a few minutes ago, seemed to be the cause of it.“Went better than you expected?” She asked, deciding to voice her curiosity. “Care to explain?”Much to her dismay, the latter said nothing, but instead, stopped in his tracks, turned towards her and looked her straight in the eye.“You did well, let’s get you home, it’s been a long day.” He said, his voice still void of any kind of emotion.Noelle stared at him, feeling a mixture of annoyance and confusion.He wasn’t even trying to mask the fact that he was brushing her off, which

Ivette couldn’t believe what she was hearing, or more importantly, the scene unfolding before her eyes. Her uncle, the cold, powerful head of the Castellano Family, was allowing some strange woman to disrespect and mock her.Not only that, but he was going as far as playing along with whatever she was planning. Tolerating her nonsense and acting like he actually cared for the engagement between them.Ivette frowned, unable to stop her anger from growing. It was impossible! There was no way her uncle would actually do something like that…not after what had happened to him.Yet, here he was, the proof was right in front of her and the realization, was like dozens of needle pricks on her nerves.“Wally, it’s getting late, we should get going.”Her uncle’s name, was the last straw, and Ivette had to hold herself back, from attacking the woman who was clinging onto him like a leech.The nerve! She thought, her hands shaking. The sheer audacity of her, was unbelievable and the fact

The one thing Noelle wanted after a very… eventful day, as she would like to put it, was take a long and hot bath, have dinner, watch a movie and then go straight to bed.She wanted that and had planned on doing just that. But unfortunately, the moment she had set foot in her house and spotted Elena sitting on the couch, the plan went down the drain.“Elena,” Noelle began, closing the door behind her. “I thought, I thought you were staying over at your sister’s, today.”“I was,” Her friend’s reply was short, and her gaze, well, Noelle knew that expression, it was an expression that meant one thing, curiosity.“Then, why are you here?” She asked, cautiously.“I could ask the same,” Elena responded, standing. “Noelle, what are you up to?”The question was a loaded one and Noelle didn’t even know where to begin.She was tired and stressed, and her encounter with Adrian Black was still fresh, so, the last thing she wanted was to discuss things with her best friend, but, there was n

While Jason stood frozen, Noelle watched as Wallace approached them, and pulled her hand out of his hold. He turned to face her and his eyes softened as he examined her."You okay?" His voice washed over her like a harmless draft of wind, cooling the storm of emotions that had been brewing in her chest and she felt her heart skip a beat.Managing a smile, she nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine. Thank you-""Mr. Castellano!" Jason's voice interrupted her before she could finish speaking. Eyes wide, he had watched the interaction for some time, even though it was brief. And something within him, couldn't bring himself to accept it.Turning to him, Wallace Fixed Jason with a cold stare, a total opposite of how he had looked at Noelle a few seconds ago.The younger man, noticing this, frowned deeply."And you are?" Came Wallace's question as he looked at him from head to toe. Although his expression remained passive, the look in his eyes couldn't be mistaken or missed.Disgust and contempt.Jason cl
