Joan's POV
It was nearly noon when I returned to my apartment, and the smell of baked breads from a cafe came to me. I could even hear the sound of my starving stomach, but I wasn't in a bit mood of having any of them.
Unlocking the door, I found Fletcher was no returning home yet. Through all night, he must have been fooling around with Karen again! My anger was really hard to eliminate. I threw the keys away! Poor keys but only in this way, could I give vent to my anger!
Why was I such angry? Because I still had affection on Fletcher? Of course the answer was NO.Mt feelings to him had gone away, but I hate them, Fletcher and Karen. I took Karen as my family, my friend, but what she gave me was betrayal. Damn it! What’s more, Noah’s behavior made my revenge a comedy show and I was taken an idiot! Even though I thought taking some photos as evidence of revenge,I ran away immediately with desperation.
I was studying in Harvard University as a master, majoring in Human and Social Relationship.I was good at reading others’ heart. But at last, I was fooled by those shameful ones.What a joke.
There went the bell. It was Sophie.
“I knew you need some sleep, but I just can’t wait.” She brought me a sandwich and a cup of coffee. “Your favorite Latte with chocolate chips on top.”
Sophie never let me down, especially on these small preference.Latte with chocolate chips on top was always my favourite,but when I dated Fletcher, he said it smelled stinky like shit. What a shit! But everything was over with him, and he would be the heir of his father’s business and Noah would be his biggest rival.Fine,just let those stinky men go.
“You look down. Why? You are supposed to be satisfied and pleased.” Sophie patted on my butt. “Hot woman like you, I bet no one would ever risk in your hand.”
I tried hard to smile at her. “Thanks, Sophie. I know you love me.”
“I love you, girl? I would marry you if I have desire on women. Jesus!” Sophie locked her eyes on my boobs. “Come on, I need every detail of last night.”
“Gossip girl.” I turned away and fetched her some milk in the refrigerator.
“No way! I need some HOT thing, not a cold one, actually.” She said, half jokingly, and widely opened her eyes, looking directly at the milk in my hand.
“Well, Sophie. You have to believe this, first. I mean. You got to stand still before I tell you the whole things.” I touched my forehead, regretting my absurd decision last night.
“Sounds a little unusual. You never show that face unless something unexpected happened. Wait, did you not wear condom last night?”
“OH GOD! Sophie! Of course yes! I was so protective about myself. It not like that! CUT IT OFF.UGH!” I didn’t want to laugh, but I couldn’t hold to.
“Okay Okay, just forget it. Now tell me.” Sophie came closer, like having some dark deal with me. “ How’s his cock?”
“Holy shit! So great!” Obviously, I meant the sex we had last night.
“Great? How? Like this?” She stretched out her forefingers of both hands to a length.
“NO, Sophie. GOD, please. I was telling you the sex last night, not the length of...”
“If it wasn’t long and thick, then what made you so unforgettable?” Sophie looked so interested. “So now, tell me the details. How many times of your orgasm?”
“Four or five. I don’t remember.” I felt my face burning when talking about what happened last night.
“What a man! I never experienced 5 times of orgasm during one night. Is he a muscled man?”
“Wait, Sophie, what do you want? Are you gonna have sex with him?”
“Just thinking about this.” Sophie never lied to me. “He was your target not your lover, so it will be nice if I have a chance to see how great it is.”
“Sophie, stop.” I prevented her from thinking far away.
“What? Are you falling in love with him, just because of the sex last night?”
“NO.” Honestly, I hesitated for at least 10 seconds, recalling Noah’s face— handsome and masculine. Suddenly, a note came in my mind.
“Sophie, listen to me. You need to know the truth.”
“What? Such serious. You’ve definitely fallen in love with him. I read it from your eyes.”
“You know him.”
“Who?”
“Fletcher’s little uncle. The guy I had sex with last night.”
“So?”
“He was Noah.”
“Noah? Which Noah?”Sophie stopped from some seconds and finally woke up from a deep thinking. “You mean the Noah?”
I nodded.
Sophie didn’t buy it. She kept asking for the second time. “You mean the Noah I introduced to you in the bar?”
“Pretty sure!”
“Oh God! He was a real man! You won so much!”
“I won? I don’t think so. The guy knew my full name, which meant he must have known what Fletcher had done to me.”
“Hold on, Joan. What’s your point of this conclusion? I introduced you two in the bar. Don’t you forget that. Oh my god...” Sophie covered her mouth to show how surprised she was. “How didn’t I notice that! Fletcher, Fletcher Hugo! I didn’t recognize they share the same family name. I was so stupid.”
“What’s in your mind, Sophie?”
“Noah was perfect, Joan. Don’t miss the ball.”
“No.” I rejected. “I don’t deserve HUGO family.”
Sophie apparently didn’t approve that. “Listen, Joan. Your are perfect. And I think you two were perfect to each other. Just walk out from Fletcher, the loser, and go to Noah, the winner. Trust me, You deserve him.”
“But Sophie, I ....”
“SHH. I need time to digest this information. 5 times of orgasm and the Hugo family! My head is so much full now. Just get some sleep. I’ll catch you later.” Sophie hurried out like she always did.
I closed the door, took a big bath and relaxed in the sofa. Music came from the stereo, which was connected my phone with the Bluetooth. My favorite classic violin tune flowing slowly from the stereo, whose name was The Moonlight Lovers. At this point, a message beep sounded on the stereo. Someone friended me on F******k. When I clicked on my phone, Noah's message was lying on the list.
「Just give me one more chance.」
My finger froze. To be true, I didn’t know if I would give him a second chance, or if I would give myself a whole new chance. Sophie reminded me that Noah might know my name in the bar from her introduction.
There came another message.
「I won’t let you down.」
Without hesitation, I clicked the “agree” button.
「What do you want, Hugo?」I really wondered why he did such to me.
「YOU.」He simply answered.
Joan's POV All of a sudden, the sex we had during the whole night kept punching my mind. Although I tried to calm down after receiving this goddamn message from Noah, I still failed. I couldn’t kick myself out of the situation right now. There was no doubt that we already had the fleshly intimacy, but I still had the chance to erase all this and corrected it. I just wanted to get away from the HUGOs while it seemed that Sophie would be the first one to stop me. I had a thumping headache suddenly. I couldn’t hold so much things in my mind, stirring and battling. The last message from Noah was no doubt an invisible bomb, ready to bomb me apart. I turned off the phone, and planned to wander in the street alone. Sometimes, loneliness could cure your pain from the chaos in life. I stopped by the café we used to go. Of course, I mean Fletcher and I always came here before. Why would I think about him? The answer was so much easy. Rage could resist the shame for a while. Pushing the doo
Joan's POV To be honest, I was suddenly a little excited. The awkward expression on Fletcher’s face provided me with a vengeful pleasure, and all my frustration had gone. After we went out of the cafe, Noah was still holding my hands. This was too far from what I had expected. “Stop that!” I got out his arms. “That’s enough!” “What?” Noah didn’t loose his hand and that was when Fletcher followed us out. "Get the fuck off her!" Fletcher threw a punch and Noah easily escaped from it. "Not even close." Noah said defiantly, chin raised. Quickly, he threw a punch back, right in Fletcher’s face. Fletcher was not ready for that, so he was closely fell off. Karen screamed and hurried to get him. Apparently, Fletcher was irritated. As the attack came so fast, Noah quickly grabbed me with his hand and put me behind him. I sprained my ankle, but Noah caught me right away to stop me from being hurt. This was the first time I'd ever felt protected. With his protection, I dodged Fletcher's
Joan's POV What Fletcher said really shocked me. Why did he said such a thing? Did he find something? I almost couldn’t move like I was frozen here. But then, I calmed down immediately,because with Fletcher’s ID,he wouldn’t find what we did last night. His roar might be to vent his anger out. I knew him well,and that’s no wonder his father would rather leave the business to his uncle Noah than to him. I had also tried to encourage him to be confident in work, but now I could see clearly, he was such a lame duck. I decided to fight back in person, of course, as an innocent victim. "What the hell are you talking about? I'm gonna be mad at you for fighting and going to the police! And now you say I slept with someone I don’t even know!" Anyway, just now, in the cafe, I did not have any direct communication with Noah. Even if I was taken away by him at the end, Fletcher immediately chased me out and confronted me. Therefore, I had enough reasons to describe myself as a survivor of an
Joan's POV: I didn't want to give a shit on Fletcher's current situation, because he was an absolute stranger to me. However, I didn't have a proper chance to tell him about my plan. Recently, I noticed that he seemed to have many appointments because he went out very often. Most importantly, no matter how late he went back, Karen's perfume would always wrap around him, which was hard to ignore. It was the Dior perfume named Venus of Goddess, which was the graduation gift I prepared for her, so I knew very well the smell of that perfume. How funny it was! It turned out that the girl who wore Venus was a whore who messed up with Fletcher. She didn't deserve that gift! That night, I was making a video call with my partners, who had been abroad. At this moment, I heard that Fletcher closed our gate. It seemed like he went out again. When we finished the video call, it was nearing midnight. Well, he wouldn't come back tonight...As a woman, my hunch was reliable that this man was probab
Joan’s POV: Noah's aggressive moves instantly took me back to that night, which was a "sleepless" night. To be honest, I really wanted to have a rest, even if ten minutes, but I was not allowed to...The familiar smell of his breath enveloped me. It had been a long time since us to have such a close interaction since that night. He seemed impatient and couldn't wait to convey me. But I was a little distracted now holding the phone because I was still waiting for Fletcher's response. Although I already knew he didn't have time to respond to my messages at this point because he was too busy flirting with Karen. Still, I instinctively pushed Noah away, simply because, the situation would become more complicated. I knew I was supposed to get back at Fletcher, but if I took advantage of Noah again, the situation would be out of control. I was used to weighing the pros and cons, even in this kind of situation. "Sorry, it must be a long time since I saw you last time." Noah didn't force me
Joan's POV: I didn't want to give in so quickly, but I couldn't refuse Noah. His warm breath enveloped me. His lips were on my neck as I lingered and wandered in his world. I desperately wanted to break free, but I failed. It's quite amazing that he knew how to please me...how to make me feel better...everything unfolded unknowingly. I had to admit that he was indeed the "Perpetual-man" because of his endless exploration of women. It's hard to imagine how many women he had sex with before. Suddenly, I couldn't help but ask, "How many women have you had before?" Noah didn't expect that I even still cared about these things. "It seems that I'm still not good in the sack. I need to improve it because you are even thinking about this boring thing." He smiled pulling the towel straight from under him, exposing his dick. I could tell that he did respect how I felt, otherwise, he wouldn't show his body like this. "This is my sincerity. You know, I never showed my body to those women lik
Joan’s POV I knew that I must be lascivious now...my legs trembling and my hands clutching Noah's hair tightly. His tongue sank so deep into my pussy that it churned around inside, making me feel like I was on a roller coaster. It was like staying on the verge of losing consciousness...it was too good to be true. Honestly, I had never felt better than now. The sex I experienced with Noah made me realize that what I had with Fletcher was a joke. Originally, I always thought that sex was just another expression of love as proof. But I never expect that the pleasure of sex could be so powerful. It was a strong virus that attacked both my brain and body at the same time. Noah only had sex with me once before. But to my surprise, he had mastered almost every sensitive point in my body that night. Just in a dozen minutes, with unerring accuracy, he attacked those points one by one, leading my repressed desires to be released. "Hmmm," I grunted because I didn't want Noah to think I was
Joan’s POV: My hand shook as I held the phone cause it showed that Fletcher had sent Noah several messages just now. Based on this conversation, it was not like they were "not very close", as Fletcher described their relationship. 「This bitch seems even better than the last one!」 「Just teach me how to find these slutty bitches?」 「I haven’t ever got myself sunk in the best orgasm but just for ONE TIME.」 「Perpetual-man...you deserve this title, Uncle Noah」 These were all the messages that Fletcher sent Noah. It seemed that Fletcher was trying to soften Noah up. Noah wrote back, 「Don't call me that. It's awful.」 As I was poring over these messages and trying to figure out the stories behind them, Fletcher's message jumped in again. 「Uncle Noah, I think you are so very experienced in selecting bitches. So...if you don't mind, how about sparing me some of your experience. After all, these bitches I found are no better than yours.」 The last few words crashed my heart violently, wit
