N O E L L E Two men. Yes, two men in black are following me inside and outside of the school until I get home. I am very uncomfortable, and people are staring at us. I tried to talk to Levi to stop his men, but he refused. Maxwell cannot go near me, and they are making a scene every time he tries. I couldn’t do anything but apologize to him, and we could only talk through the phone. “Levi, please! Don’t do this to me!” I complained when I went to his office. “You don’t have any idea how uncomfortable I was!” I cried. “I told you that you can do whatever that can make you happy, but not the things that you want to do with Hughes. Yes, I feel threatened by his existence in your life, and it’s the reason why I am doing this.” He said without looking at me. He is busy reading a pile of documents. “If I could only be with you 24/7, I would do it.” He added, and I groaned in frustration. I lie on his couch. I am so tired because of

N O E L L EAs weeks and months passed by, Levi and I were getting closer and closer to each other. I’ve got to spend the holidays in their house and celebrate Levi’s birthday. The chairman wanted me to move into their house, but I refused.Levi also took me on his out-of-town or out-of-the-country business trips, and I took the chance to visit beautiful places locally and internationally.Maxwell and I are still friends. I still go to his album's press release and his movies’ premiere nights. Levi cannot stop supporting Maxwell because it is the least I can do for him.“So, you are giving Levi a chance?” Maxwell asked while we were eating in the school cafeteria. Levi pulled out his men who were following me and restraining Maxwell from approaching me. I think he trusts me this time, and I am thankful for that.I shrug my shoulders. “I don’t know. I am just going with the flow these past s

N O E L L E“She’s a fashion designer in Germany,” Alyssa said with greeted teeth. I ran to her and cried. I told her everything that happened, and she searched for Vanessa’s information online. She followed her on Instagram and checked all her previous posts. “She’s gorgeous!” She was just angry a while ago, and now she’s complimenting her.“You don’t have a chance, Elle.” I threw her a death glare, and she chuckled nervously at me. “You are my best friend, so I am taking your side.” Alyssa showed me several pictures where Levi and Vanessa were happily traveling around the world. They were from the same university, and their family was friends.“Will you stop rubbing salt on my wound?” I asked as I blew my nose. Alyssa has been talking to me frankly, telling me only just the truth.“You should tell about it to Maxwell.” She said, and I q

N O E L L EI broke down and cried while begging for Levi to take back what he just said. The image of my dad behind bars is killing me. I won't let him destroy Maxwell's career as well.Levi was dead serious when he said that, but I couldn't understand what he wanted me to do. Is he asking me to endure everything and stay by his side while Vanessa is around?! Is he insane?!“N-Noelle!” Maxwell ran to me after seeing my situation. I was sitting on the ground while crying endlessly. I looked like a lost child.“W-What happened?” Alyssa asked as she looked at me in shock. She helps me get up, and then she wipes the tears on my cheeks. Maxwell gives me a bottle of water to help me calm down.I told them everything that happened, and they both tried to go after Levi, but I stopped them. I should stop involving them in my mess, but I don’t know if I can do this alone. My head is all over the place, and I ca

M A X W E L LThe day Noelle found out she was pregnant was the same day her dad found out that Levi raped her. Noelle was crying in front of him and begging for forgiveness. Noelle’s dad couldn’t believe Levi could do such a horrible thing to her daughter. He got a heart attack and died instantly.Noelle fainted after witnessing her dad’s death right in front of her. She has lost her mind again.“NO!” Noelle screamed at the top of her lungs the moment she woke up. She locked her room and did not let anyone in. She was releasing her anger by destroying everything inside her room. Mom and I arranged her dad’s funeral for her.She was crying endlessly, and I couldn’t do anything but feel the same way she does. I am furious and hurt as well. I never thought Levi could do something this evil and horrible to Noelle. Worse is that it caused her dad’s life.Mom tried to calm her down but to
