Noah's POVI'm sitting on the bench while reading a book. Isaiah is with me. He's winking and waving at every college girls who pass in front of us. I frowned even more when he gave them flying kisses. I shook my head. He's hopeless. I'm a womanizer but not in school. I'm also choosing the woman I'd flirt with, not like him who would flirt with every woman he sees."She's looking at you again."My forehead creased and looked in the direction where Isaiah is looking. My eyebrow automatically shot up after I caught her staring at me. She quickly averted her gaze but it doesn't change the fact that she's been stalking me ever since we bumped into each other in the library.Isaiah moved closer to me to whisper. "Cousin, why don't you entertain her? Can't you see? She's cute."I glared at Isaiah. "You know I like Thalia. And damn, cousin. Can't you see that woman's face? She's too innocent. She looked like a baby."Isaiah's laughter broke. "That's the point, cousin. She looks like a baby.
Paige’s POV“Noah Hanson, do you take Paige Lopez as your wife?”“I do.”I felt bitterness as I reminisced the day we got married. He accepted me in his life. He answered so quickly and I didn’t realize he'd let go swiftly too. I’ve been in love with Noah Hanson since we were in College. So when he suddenly asked me out, I grabbed the opportunity despite the arrangement and agreement he wanted. I married him, hoping I can make him fall in love with me. We were getting along. So, I don’t understand why he asked for a divorce on our first anniversary. Am I lacking something? I just can’t understand. I gave him everything.“Sign the divorce papers, Paige. I’m giving you a week to sign it.”Tears rolled down my cheeks. “Why?”His forehead creased. “Why? We had an agreement, Paige. I’ll marry you and you’ll give me a son. It’s that simple.”Right. Why did I even forget about the only reason for this marriage?“But we still have time and you didn’t tell me that you’ll divorce me if I fail t
Paige’s POV“Paige?” Noah noticed me. I gasped as I realized the emotions in his eyes. He’s not scared or shocked that I saw them making out. Instead, he looked pissed. Oh God! I thought I managed to tame his wild heart within a year of our marriage. I was so wrong.“What are you doing here?” He asked again, fixing his long-sleeves polo. The polo that I gave him last month.Instead of watching him, I turned to his mistress. Thalia, the well-known actress and model is standing before my eyes, looking at me with disgust when I am the one who should be disgusted by her. I balled my fists and attacked her without a word.“OUCH!” She screamed after I pulled her hair. I even scratched her arm and tried to choke her but she was able to move away.“FCK! STOP IT, PAIGE!”I ignored Noah and continued pulling Thalia’s hair.“I SAID STOP IT, PAIGE! JUST STOP!”“NOAH, HELP ME! LET ME GO, YOU SON OF A BITCH! YOU CRAZY!”I laughed without humor. “YOU ARE A DISGUSTING MISTRESS–”I was pushed to the g
Noah’s POVFour months later…I was in a gym, working out and killing some time when my assistant entered. He fixed his thick eyeglasses before he spoke. “Sir, I received a call from your father’s attorney. Miss Paige is in the hospital.”My forehead creased as I put the dumbbell down and faced him. “Did I tell you to stalk my ex-wife?”He looked down. “I’m sorry, sir. I just thought you needed to know.”I gritted my teeth and started wiping my sweat. “Why was she sent to the hospital?”“She’s pregnant, sir.”My jaw dropped as I faced him again. He took a step back, scared and intimidated.“What? Did I hear it right?”“She’s pregnant, sir.”I gritted my teeth after he repeated those words. Pregnant? Paige is pregnant? It has only been four months since I filed a divorce and she’s already pregnant… Wait, was it mine? It’s possible!I swallowed hard and looked at Oliver again. “Find out if she’s meeting another guy already.”“Sir?” He fixed his eyeglasses. Shock is evident in his eyes.
Paige’s POVI sucked my breath and wiped the tears in my cheeks after I dropped the coffee I’m making. My right hand is trembling and I couldn’t stop my tears from falling. My heart is pounding so hard in so much anger. I can’t make coffee. I have completely lost my chance to do what I love the most. My wrist had surgery but I couldn’t use it normally like before. I feel so useless. I feel so worthless.I cried harder, unable to take it anymore. I slowly fell on my knees and stared at my trembling right hand. This is so fcking unfair!“Why can’t you let me do the things I want to do, huh?” I confronted my hand as if it would give me an answer. This is so fcking frustrating and despressing. I just want to be happy.I slammed the back of my head against the bar counter as I remembered Noah’s arrogant smile. He still have the guts to show his face to me? He filed a divorce and then what? He said he wants me back? He’s so damn funny and ridiculous!“Paige!”I lifted my face and looked at
Paige’s POVWearing a simple white dress, I put my lipstick on and slightly tilted my head while staring at my own reflection in the mirror. I can’t believe I forgot myself after I fell in love with Noah Hanson. What’s wrong with falling in love? I think it’s if that person is worthy of your love. I’ve loved Noah and gave him my all. That’s my mistake. I let him feel my devotion. I let him feel my undying love. He became so confident that I won’t be able to stand again after my greatest fall. I should prove him wrong, but it still hurts like hell.“Paige, how long have you planned to make us wait here?” Ares’ voice brought me back to my senses. I pursed my lips and heaved a sigh. That cousin of mine is so short-tempered and impatient.“I’m coming!” I answered and grabbed my pouch. Aunt Precy invited us for dinner. I think it’s her way of helping me to recover. I’m really glad I have her and my cousins.Ares’ crumpled face and Alex’s smiling face welcomed me. Achilles was the one who o
Paige's POVI almost had a miscarriage. I would never forgive Noah for causing this. He's nothing but an evil bastard who's obsessed with attention and wealth. I can't wait to see his downfall after his so called first love leave him for another man. I hate him so much that I'm thinking of revealing our marriage to the public. No one knows the I married him except for mine and his family. What will happen to him if the public learned about his disgusting behavior? I bet his so called lover will leave him in the dark, weak and wounded."Paige, I have an appointment with a client today—" Aunt Precy paused after she saw me all dressed up. She cocked an eyebrow. "Are you going out? You should be resting. You just fainted yesterday."I shook my head and brushed my fingers through my hair. "I'm fine, Aunt Precy. I'll just visit the shop. I need to see how my part timers do their job.""Alex is there, right? I thought you both agreed on this?"I caressed Aunt Precy's shoulder. "I'll be fine,
Paige's POVI smiled as Attorney Samantha Li sat in front of me. I'm still here in the coffee shop. She called me a while ago saying she has something important to say. Actually, I'm having doubts about that important matter. She's the lawyer I hired for the divorce that Noah insisted on."Mr. Hanson withdrew the divorce petition, Paige."My heart almost stopped. I'm already expecting this but I can't help being so shocked. Noah would really do what he says. He said, he's gonna push the divorce again and here it is. He's doing things in favor of his wants again."I see you're not shocked," Attorney Samantha added and heaved a sigh. "Did you talk to Mr. Hanson, Paige?"I chewed my bottom lip. "He wanted something I can't give. So, he's using our marriage to trap me in his world."Attorney Samantha shook her head and crossed her arms. "Do you still want to proceed to the divorce?"I quickly nodded. "Of course, attorney.""Then, we're the one to file a divorce petition. Do you have any v
