Noah's knees were stuck, he couldn't move. “Why?” his lips quivered uncontrollably. “Noah, can we talk about this later, we have guests to attend to. And please, get off the floor someone might mis-read the situation.”“What is there to mis-read Sophia. I'm asking, no begging you, to marry me.”Noah's breathe was shaky, he felt like the whole world was falling upon his shoulders. All of a sudden the entire estate felt too small. Noah's eyes pleaded for an explanation, his voice cracking with emotion. "Why, Sophia? What did I do wrong? Was it something I said or did?"Sophia's expression changed from sadness to anger, she couldn't hold back her words. "You really don't know, do you? Are you blind Noah? Or did you forget how you threw divorce papers in my face barely a week after your father died, while we were all in mourning, at least some of us were, the ones who actually loved Mr. Milton. You manipulated me at any chance you go. Let's not talk about how you got me into this hoax
As Sophia stood up to leave the table, Brad followed behind her. Noah could definitely tell that something was off. Before he could stand up, Bryce had already taken initiative. “Where are you going?” Harriet ask, as scowl on her face. “I'm going to check up on her.”“What relationship do you have with my daughter-in-law?”“You mean ex-daughter-in-law.”“I didn't mince my words you bastard. I mean and meant daughter-in-law. They'll be getting remarried, and I'll be sure to send you an invite.”Bryce scoffed and stood up regardless. "Bryce, or whatever the fuck your name is, if your legs cross those pocket doors, I'm calling the police. I sure as hell don't bluff! Sit down, now! This doesn't concern you."Bryce's eyes flashed with annoyance. He reluctantly sat back down sending a cold glare to Noah. Savannah's gaze swept the table, her eyes lingered on each face. "Let's just calm down and enjoy our breakfast, shall we?" Bryce's eyes narrowed, "What's your problem, Harriet? Are you
“If he leaves I'm going too.”“Okay. But don't come into the main house. I need you far away from my line of sight.”Sophia rubbed his arm. He looked down at her, disappointed clearly visible in his eye.“Let's go upstairs,” she said still rubbing his arm gently. Noah said nothing and just followed. “Why did you do that? In front of all those people?”“I--I. You won't understand for now but just trust me. I know you hate his guts--”“I do, I really do. My mum's still rilled up from breakfast and I don't know how to tell her that the bastard will be staying another night.” He pouted. Sophia narrowed her eyes at him. “You said to trust you, so I will. Blindly in fact, lead me where you want. I won't complain Sophia, but I can't stand the thought of that guy being around you.”Sophia smiled, “Do it make you, Jealous?”“Yes,” Noah said, lips quivering as anger started to surge through him. “What should I do about it?” Sophia's eyes locked onto Noah's. Her gaze was intense. She could s
“Bryce?” was the last thing Sophia heard before he and Noah began their race. ‘Why on earth is he running?’ Sophia asked herself. She stood there, utterly confused. After a moment of shock, she took one of the cars and decided to find out where the two men were racing to. When she had finally caught up to them, Noah was hot on Bryce's tail. A car came in speeding, but seemed to slow down before reaching Bryce, like he was there on purpose. As if on cue, Bryce fell down right before Noah got to him. Sophia swallowed hard. Sophia came down from the car, throwing her calm demeanor away. Her eyes were wide with shock and horror as she took in the scene before her. She saw Bryce lying motionless on the ground, and Noah standing over him, his face contorted in anguish.She rushed towards them, her heart racing with fear. "Noah, what have you done?" she cried, her voice trembling with anger and worry.Noah's eyes met hers, "Sophia, I...I didn't mean to," he stammered.Sophia's gaze was s
A somber atmosphere filled the room as friends and family gathered to pay their respects to Kira. In the absence of her own family, who for obvious reasons couldn't show up for thier own daughters wake. Many messages had been sent across to them but they didn't reply any. The Milton family had taken it upon themselves to organize the wake. Sophia couldn't refuse, she pushed the agenda herself. Everyone shared stories of Kira's life. Even people who hated her. Her workers and housekeeper, no one could speak I'll of her. Everyone just wanted the event to be over and done with so they could have their own private celebration at a bar or something. Their eyes were filled with compassion as they approached Jack. Jack's eyes were red-rimmed, his face was pale. He struggled to come to terms with the loss of his mother. Addison and Aiden didn't leave his side for a second. Even if he used to bully them before, he was in pain. They couldn't bare to see him that wat. The twins enveloped him
He took in a breath of fresh air as the private jet touched down on the runway. He was a married man, so it was ‘their’ private jet and not just his. They slipped into a sleek black town car, which whisked them away. Destination, the Milton mansion.As they sped through the city streets, Tammy gazed out the window at the towering skyscrapers and bustling streets. "It's good to be back in the city," she said, her voice tinged with excitement.Randall nodded, his eyes were fixed on his phone as he scrolled through messages. "I have a feeling we're in for a wild ride," he said, his brow furrowed in concern.The town car turned onto the winding driveway of the Milton estate, and the mansion came into view. As they stepped out of the car, they were greeted with a bow. "Welcome back, Mr. Randall and Ms. Tammy. I trust your journey was pleasant?"Randall smiled wryly. "It was eventful, Jenkins. We'll need to catch up with Sophia and Noah soon."Jenkins nodded discreetly. "Of course, but t
As they set sail, they felt a sense of excitement and anticipation. The yacht glided smoothly through the water, leaving a trail of foamy waves behind. Everyone settled into their comfortable cabins, while Randall and Tammy took seats on the deck, sipping champagne and enjoying the ocean breeze. Tanya chatted with the captain, discussing the itinerary and the various stops they would make along the way. She used to go sailing and fishing often when her father was alive. She watched as the waves crash against the hull.Sophia and Noah settled into comfortable seats on the deck, sipping cold drinks and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere.Randall and Tammy took turns trying their hand at steering the boat. As they moved along the coast, the kids spotted dolphins playing in the waves. The kids squealed with delight.After a while, the boat stopped, the captain found a tranquil spot. “The ocean here is particularly inviting, with clear, turquoise waters that seem to call out for a swim,
“Here, sign it and leave!” he demanded. Sophia stared down at the document tossed at her. ‘Divorce agreement’ she read in her mind. Sophia smacked her lips. ‘He didn’t even wait for a solid week before getting rid of me she thought to herself. She wanted to believe it was a dream, but that was her reality. Her husband wanted a divorce from her, after two years of marriage. Even if the marriage was based on a contract, it was still a marriage. Noah Milton paced the floor of what was supposed to be he and Sophia’s bedroom, a place she never dared to enter, except on special occasions. She recorded the look on Noah’s face before speaking, “Noah, your dad just—” Sophia swallowed the next words about to escape her lips as Noah’s icy grey eyes met hers. Sophia was married to the most influential man in the city. The CEO of Milton group Noah Milton. It would be an honor for any woman in the whole city to be engaged, talk more of married to the most sought out man in all the city, but for S
