[PAST...CONTINUED]Minutes after Noémie left, he lifted his head when another knock landed on the door.For fuck’s sake!“Hey, cousin, are you in?” A familiar voice arrived. And before he could work on something sarcastic to say, Hannah pushed the door open and walked inside as if she owned it. But maybe she did. After all, his father favoured her more than any of his own sons. He wasn’t sure what his fucking deal was, but he wasn’t in the right mind to go too deep into it either.“What do you want?” he asked, exasperated, while massaging his temples.“Wow!” she exclaimed dramatically. “Someone’s

“How long were you hoping things to go on like this, Noémie? For how long?”Noémie’s mother scolded.Not because she was angry or felt the need to put their elder daughter in place, but because she cared.Because she was disappointed that in the past few months, their daughter had been through literal hell, and they didn’t even know about it.How ignorant could a parent be? She wondered who was truly at fault here. The children? Or the parents?“I was going to tell you…” Noémie started—her voice soft and delicate—, her gaze locked on the plate in front of her. Her fingers clasped tightly around the fork as she poked at the food. “…eventually.”Her mot

It was like walking into her worst nightmare.After Claudia moved out of her way and offered to drive her wherever Noémie wanted to be, they both got into the car and drove to the address Vincent had texted. Noémie being too nervous and petrified to think straight, Claudia took it upon herself to cooperate with Vincent Halest as he guided her over the phone through the shortest route they could take to avoid the jam-packed roads because of the heavy downpour.The hard rain pelted the roof of the car as Claudia glanced over to her side and noticed how badly Noémie’s hands were shaking.She tried to distract her older sister with frivolous conversation, but Noémie failed to fixate on anything but the man she had loved for so long but couldn’t ga

With his face buried in the crook of her neck, Ajax groaned in protest when she pushed him with her hands on his shoulders and pulled her head back.“Honestly, we should have left hours ago.” Noémie looked at the time on the wall clock and chastised him. Attempting to get off the office desk in his study for the fifth time in the past hour, she was held back by the man who couldn’t get enough of her.Now that they had both confessed their love for each other, Ajax didn’t seem to have any trouble or control in showing how much he loved her wherever and whenever he got the chance. Sometimes he spoke with words, and other times with his lips and hands all over her body.It had been three days since that stormy night.Three days since, he had poured his heart out and told her everything he never did, never could. The weight that had lifted off his shoulders since that night was impossible for Ajax to express. He felt so free and light and better.It helped a lot that Noémie didn’t seem to

By the time Ajax and Noémie exited police headquarters, the sun had already dipped below the horizon, leaving a mellow streak of red, orange, and yellow sketched across the endless sky. The air had turned warm to the touch, the distant honking of cars muffled to the ears.Pin-drop silence loomed like toxic air in the car as they drove back to old Halest Villa. Noémie couldn’t help but notice the tight expression stretched across Ajax’s face—the way his fingers were buckled on the steering wheel, his knuckles turning paler and paler.Since the moment they got out of the investigation room, he hadn’t uttered a single word. It worried Noémie to a great extent—so much so that she felt goosebumps prickle all over her body and a stifling feeling unfurl throughout her chest. Every second spent in the car had started to feel like a ticking bomb.There was no way she could even begin to imagine the hurricane of emotions he was dealing with right now.To learn that his father had turned out to
