She had been trying to talk to Noah, but he'd been brushing her off and acting distant.‘What's going on with him? We used to be so close, but lately, he's been shutting me out. I feel like I'm losing my mind.’“Nothing, I'm just paranoid, that's all.”"Noah! Can we please talk? You've been acting so distant lately, and it's really hurting me."He sighed, "Sophia, I'm just stressed out, okay? I'll deal with it myself. Just worry about your company and the kids, I can't have you thinking about my shit too. It'll be too much to take on.""That's not fair, Noah. We're supposed to be a team. You're shutting me out, and it feels like you don't trust me anymore."He avoided eye contact. She knew he was hiding something. "I do trust you, Sophia. I just... need some time to work on it, okay? Once I handle everything I'll let you know. For now, let me drive you home."Sophia looked at Tammy w
Sophia was in her elements. After all that had happened with Kira, Noah and her business, she needed the rest. When she got home, she poured herself a glass of non-alcoholic wine. She still had a lot to get through. Building her company's reputation was not going to be an easy task but she was willing to go through the stress, her children's future depended on itNoah promised to help her get through this phase. No matter how much she protested, he didn't listen. Eventually she gave in. As she thought about Noah, pain struck through her heart. She remembered Noah's expression from earlier, how he sent his phone to an early grave over what he said was a ‘minor inconvenience’ with one of his sites. No matter how much she asked, he didn't reveal a single detail, said he didn't want her to worry. She felt bad that he wouldn't let her in. A knock on her kitchen door had her spilling her wine all over the kitchen Island. She walked over to the door then peeked through the transparent gl
**Flashback**Harriet was playing with the kids when her phone rang. A wry smile appeared on her face as she stretched her hand to answer it. “Hello,” the voice on the other end was soft and smooth, “Mother-in-law, how do you do?” It was Kira Robinson. “I am quite well thanks to you.”A look of surprise flashed through Kira's face. She never even expected Harriet to answer the phone, talk less of praising her.“Why would that be?” she asked confused. “Because my dear, you have succeeded in causing discord between the two. They seemed to be acting inseparable but I can see a crack. Noah brought the kids over for the weekend, obviously they are having trouble. And for the very fact that the fiend agreed to the arrangement, it will be easier convincing Noah to file for custody.”Kira's heart settled a bit when Harriet finished her explanation but something still made her feel uneasy. Noah wasn't one to give up easily. He chased Sophia through a room filled with press, there was nothin

It was morning again, this time, weekend. The sun had just began to rise over the Whyte House, casting a warm golden glow over the neighborhood. Noah's car pulled up in front of Sophia's house. house. He took a moment to straighten his collar and run a hand through his hair before stepping out of the car. He felt a mix of anticipation and nervousness swirling inside him. ‘I hope I don't run into that bastard’The front door swung open almost immediately, it felt like Sophia was already waiting for him. A very awkward silence ensued between them both. Noah looks past her and saw the ever energetic twins bouncing with excitement. A smile crept across his face. It had been a while since he actually spent quality time with them. "Hey there," he greeted warmly, stepping onto the porch. "Are you guys ready for a fun weekend with dad?"His question got Sophia to gulp hard. She looked down at Addison and Aiden, then at Noah. The twins nodded so hard, their heads could have fallen off.

Kira grabbed the mic from one of the staff members that was about to pin it on Noah. She decide from do it herself, taking a part of his shirt in her hand, just then, Sophia walked in. "Come on, Sophia, don't let this one incident ruin your chance --.""I don't care about the opportunity anymore, Jeffery. I just want to go home and process what I just saw. Please, just take me home.""But you can't just give up like this. You're stronger than that.""I'm not giving up, or maybe I am. I'm just choosing to prioritize my own well-being for once. And right now, that means going home and dealing with this personal stuff. Please, take me home.""Fine, Sophia. If that's what you really want, I'll take you home. But know that this is a missed opportunity that you may regret later--“”She cut him off, "I'm willing to take that risk, Jeffery. Just take me home, please."Jeffery nodded and lead Sophia back to the car, his expression neutral. Deep down he was disappointed and frustrated. He fin

She barely registered the unfamiliar presence seated at her kitchen Island. She moved to end of the couch, flipping through a the first magazine that caught her eye. Sophia groaned. She couldn't flip a page without seeing something about Noah Milton. “Hey, Em. Rough day?” Jeffery asked, clinging to a cup of coffee. Sophia sighed heavily, “You have no idea. Everything just went wrong, and I'm so tired of dealing with it all.”“I'm sorry to hear that. It sounds like you could use a break.”“Yeah, I wish. But there's just so much to do, and I don't even know where to start.”“Well, how about we start with you relaxing for a bit? You deserve it after dealing with all that stress.” He knew exactly what she was going through because he was partly the cause. Jeffrey was so angry that things were going well for Sophia and Noah. He hadn't told her h
