The penthouse was quiet, and the echo of his shoes hitting the tile was the only sound Noah heard as he walked further down the hallway.When he finally turned down the corridor, he moved for a substantial dark wooden door and pressed a finger to the sensor pad on the wall next to it. After recognizing his fingerprint, the door slid open with a small click, revealing a large living room, and seated on the couch were his parents.Their faces were stiff and expressions unreadable when they turned towards him, and Noah stood there for a silent second, and then eventually said, “Good afternoon, mother... Father.”Giving him the cold shoulder, Mrs. Stark refused to speak until she noticed the band on her son's ring finger.“Do you hate us that much?” Mrs. Stark cried in a strangled voice. “We trusted you, son.”“And I need your to trust me on this too.” Noah calmly said as he approached a dark green chair and sat down, crossing his legs relaxedly. “Trust you? Son, you just married a wom

Eyes wild open, Noah lay stiffly, unable to turn or shake on the bed, feeling exhausted, and his body ached.Just then, Genevieve moved her foot upward on his waist, and Noah drew a breath, looking to his right to see her sleeping with her mouth slightly open, and he mumbled, “How can you sleep so soundly in such a awkward position?”The only answer he got was a soft snort from her, and when he tried to shift his body slightly, she moved, hugging him closer, burying herself in him like a child, and murmuring something about ‘Why is the pillow so hard,’ which made Noah chuckle softly.His laugh echoed in Genevieve's ear, and she thought she had such a mad dream where her pillows talked, and then Genevieve realized that she was holding onto something firm and warm.Then Her palm subconsciously started feeling Noah's body as she blinked, trying to clear her mind.When her hand reached his face and almost poked his eyes, he grabbed her wrist gently, causing her senses to awaken immediatel

“3, 2, 1... Action.” Director Henson stated, looking through the camera as Genevieve approached the bar counter, pretending to clean it and not paying attention to the customers coming in.Then the male lead, Alex, walked over to the table, and Genevieve raised her gaze, giving a faint smile, and said, “Sorry, I will be done soon with cleaning this. But you can take another table if you want.”“No. I prefer this one since I know that it’s clean enough.” Alex replied calmly.Hearing that, the corners of Genevieve's mouth twitched a little, and she pretended to focus on wiping the chair for a little while before pulling back and saying, “Well, then it’s all. ““Mommy,” Genevieve heard Leo's voice, causing her to freeze mid-sentence and start looking around.“Cut!!” Director Henson suddenly yelled, making Genevieve jump slightly as he took his hands off the camera. Then he looked at her unimpressed, “What the hell is wrong with you?! You were supposed to act normally, and you were suppo

Confused and already annoyed, Genevieve rolled her eyes and said, “I just came to get my things and leave! Whatever this is, I want nothing to do with it.”“Your presence is making our family a joke! You are a curse! It's such bad luck to be related to someone such as you! You have ruined the entire family! Why didn't you kill yourself, huh?! You should've been killed by that car! It would have been better for everyone!” Glenn screamed.Walking between Genevieve and her, knowing that Glenn was about to become aggressive, Noah calmly said, “That's enough.”Immediately, Glenn shoved him in the chest, causing him to slightly lose his balance, but he stood his ground as she screamed, “You two losers are such trash! Trash who should never be in the family! You’re ruining the whole family's reputation! The only thing you're good for is being worthless scumbags!”As his jaws clenched in fury and his body tensed, Noah could feel his grip on his own anger tighten and grow stronger. But he remai

The tightness from the guards’ grips around her wrists hurt, but Genevieve ignored the feeling and kept screaming, “Let me go, please let go.”The hallway that they dragged her down was long and deserted, with only her screams echoing and the sound of their footsteps chiming in the otherwise silent space. In that instant, there was only one person on her mind, and that was Noah. She grew desperate to see him, and he became her source of hope because he promised not to let her down. Every life choice she had made today up to this very moment became her most profound regret, and she knew that every step she took led her to the edge of ruin.As they arrived at the elevator and stopped, the sound of fast, quick footsteps echoed in their direction, making her hold her breath as she looked back.Within a flash, Noah appeared, sweating and looking like he was about to murder someone.“Genevieve! Are you alright?!” Noah exclaimed as his heart almost exploded out of his body, glaring at the
