Semua Bab Bleeding Heart Still Pounds : Bab 31 - Bab 40

🌹 30 🌹 Joan stepped back to look at the new decor in her cabin. It has been one month and finally, she has finished renovating the cabin to her taste. It's now her new home. Ajay and Abel went to get their luggage from the hotel they stayed at for the past month. She picked the cold jar of pineapple juice brought in earlier for her and walked to the waterfall. There, her canvas was standing by the pool of water with a stool before it and a table with the colors, paint, brushes and a glass of juice on it. Joan poured herself another glass and stood on one of the pool stones. She watched the waterfall as she sipped the juice but suddenly turned to look around when she felt something or someone was watching her. She stayed still to hear for a sound but nothing. Maybe it was all in her head. Joan dropped the glass and sat, looking at her empty canvas. She's out of ideas and lack inspiration. She dipped her brush in burgundy but quickly washed it. She dipped it again in brown bu

🌹 32 🌹 Joan slowly moved away from Abel. “Can you make the sales quicker?” She asked. “Joan, the dates can't be changed. We've talked about this and Ajay told you a million times.” Abel said, feeling pity for her. “I can't stay here for six months.” She shook her head. “I just can't. It's not possible...” “You have no idea how much I want to take you away from all of these. I don't want you to be here and I don't like seeing you like this.” He cupped her face. “I knew this would happen but I wasn't expecting him to be married to my sister! He is married to Vera and she's happy. I can't do that to her.” Tears filled her eyes. “I should blame myself for convincing you to come here but how long do you want to run for?” He lifted her cupped face. “You have to live, hiding ain't living.” “Noah is an insane man, you won't understand.” She moved away from him. “Noah is about to do something stupid and I fear for Vera. I want to protect her.” “You can start by telling her the truth

🌹 34 🌹 Joan woke up with a start but the strong arm around her pushed her back into the bed. She quickly turned to look at him. Fuck, what has she done? What has she done!? She promised Vera only to betray her the next day. Noah was peacefully asleep. She could still feel his mouth all over her body and him deep inside her. Last night was wild and stupid but she enjoyed it. She forgot what it felt like to shudder under him. He didn't only make her shudder, he made her cry in ecstacy. He made love to her and she saw the seven angels. She heard melody playing from heaven and also saw the light for a sweet moment. She struggled to remove the hand that caged her to the bed and jumped down the bed when she was free. “Where are you going?” He sleepily asked. “Fuck you.” She quickly picked her clothes from the floor and started dressing up. He slowly sat up. “Really?” “I'll never forgive you for what you did!” Tears welled up in her eyes. “You mean what we did. I think yo

🌹 36 🌹 “What are you hiding?” He stepped into the kitchen and she quickly moved away to put some distance between them. “It's none of your business.” She turned to him. “How did you get in here?” “Spare key.” He held up a key. “This is my cabin, remember.” “Was.” She tightly said to him. “It was your cabin.” Why didn't she just change the locks while renovating? Well, she'll do that immediately. She watched him. He looked so tired and drained. Like someone who hasn't slept in days due to the thick bags under his eyes. His lips also looked drained of blood as they are pale and his hair was kinda messy. He was dressed in a black shirt and sweat pants. “What are you not telling me?” He asked again. “You better say it now than me finding out myself.” “It's none of your business!” She repeated. “Leave my house.” Noah looked at her in silence. “Does Abel stay here too?” “Yes.” She looked away. “Why is he staying in the same house as you? Isn't he your staff or something? Get

🌹 38 🌹 “The fuck is wrong with you man?” Victor threw his hands in the air. “I called you like a thousand times.” “I'm not your girlfriend, Vic.” Noah stepped out of his car and looked around the hospital building. “Ew!” Victor pushed him. “Shut the fuck up!” “You need to get yourself a girlfriend.” Noah pushed him back. “Sorry girl, I'm taken.” Noah showed him an imaginary ring with his middle finger. He never wore his wedding ring, not even once. He just threw it away after the wedding. “I will kill you!” Victor quickly put Noah in an arm lock but Noah escaped. “I will let this slide because of your dying godmother.” “I'll kick your ass even when I'm drunk.” Noah said as they walked towards the building. “You are not telling me what's happening.” Victor said. “You haven't said a word about it.” “About what?” “Don't pull that shit with me.” Victor insisted. “Joan is back and you're suspiciously quiet.” “What do you want me to say to that?” Noah pressed the elevator butt
