Paige’s POVI hold onto the closed door to support myself and prevent myself from falling into my knees. I looked into his eyes, meeting his anger as I spoke with a hoarse voice. “W-What are you doing here, Noah?”I feel like I'm about to pass out. It's been five long years but my love for him, together with the pain, is still here. Here, in my heart, buried, hidden.He rose from the swivel chair and laughed without humor. He pushed his hands inside the pocket of his slacks as he walked towards me and stood in front of me. He looked down at me with nothing but coldness. “Care to welcome me?”I can’t do this. I can’t withstand the rage in his eyes. I can’t stand in the same room as him. I shook my head and was about to open the door to leave when he pushed the door closed and moved closer to me. Our bodies almost touched, so I rested my back on the closed door, nervous and helpless.“No more running away, baby. You’ve run enough, It’s over.”I looked at him, trying to keep my courage.

Paige’s POVNoah really stayed all day, watching me. He’s not saying anything while I’m working but I can feel his stares. The intensity of his fury through his stares. I can’t work properly. I wanted to push him away, send him away but whenever I tried, he would threaten me by telling the people in this hotel about our past. It doesn’t matter actually. I don't care about the past anymore. What bothers me is the mess he would make. It’ll affect my family. It may affect my son."You'll come with me after work, Paige."That made me still. I slowly lifted my face and looked at Noah with nothing but shock. Why?He spread his arms on the backrest of the couch as he stared at me. "You're coming with me.""I'm not going anywhere with you, Noah."He smirked. "Fine. But don't expect me to just sit here. I'll follow you to your house."My heart raced in fear. He'll follow me home? No! He can't see my son!I swallowed hard as I looked at him nervously. "W-Where are we going?""Somewhere… you won

Paige's POVI can't forget about what I heard from Attorney Samantha. I don't understand. Noah never mentioned his half brother. He didn't even tell me he's facing such a problem. I heaved a sigh and shook my head. Right. He didn't even like me before— I chewed my bottom lip as I paused. He said a few weeks ago that he's in love with me. I wonder if he's saying the truth or did he just say that to hurt me?"Mommy, look!"I turned to Asher who's pointing his finger at the bubble balloon. My eyes widened when he ran and followed where it came from. I followed him too. We're in a playground since today is weekend. I wanna spend my weekend with him, so I didn't go to work."Mommy, she's making bubbles! I want that too!"I looked at the little girl sitting on the swing. She's holding a toy gun that's creating bubbles. Asher ran to her."May I borrow?"I smiled as I recognized the little girl. That's Naomi. I sat on the swing next to her, drawing her attention. Her eyes widened upon recogni

Paige's POVShe looked at me as hatred flickered in her eyes. Without saying anything, she rushed to me to hurt me but Noah stood between us, stopping her."What is this, Noah?!" She growled at him, angrily. "Is this why you weren't answering my calls? Huh? Because you're seeing this flirty woman?"I looked away. I feel so ashamed. Thalia just caught me in Noah's house. This is insanely unbelievable. I shouldn't have come here."And what the hell are you doing here, you bitch? Don't you have some shame? Flirting with my man, really?"I gripped the sling of my bag. "I'm leaving.""NO! STAY HERE, YOU SHAMELESS WOMAN. I WILL TEACH YOU A LESSON.""STOP, THALIA!"I looked at Noah. This situation is very familiar. I want to laugh. I was in her place before and now, I was the one that Noah is protecting. He's protecting me. I want to be happy because for the first time he defended but… I am the mistress. God! I didn't dream about being a mistress. I don't like this."You're defending that wo

Paige's POVI chewed my bottom lip while talking to Steve over the phone and standing in front of Noah, who's being treated by the hospital nurse. He really hurt himself when we fell down the stairs.[Are you with him, Paige?]I squeezed my eyes closed. "N-No, Steve. I just had an emergency."[Are you sure?]"Yes."I opened my eyes only to meet Noah's intense stairs. I glanced at the nurse, who bowed and left after he finished treating Noah's wound. After the call ended, I put my phone inside my pouch and looked at Noah.He suddenly pulled me and hugged my waist, resting his cheek against my stomach. My heart raced as I put my trembling hands on his shoulders."N-Noah, let go of me.""You promised to talk to me, Paige. Let's talk."I roamed my eyes around. We're in a public place, since we're in the hospital's emergency room."Not here, Noah."He jumped from the bed and offered his hand to me. "Let's talk in my car."I slowly nodded. "Okay."He grabbed my hand since I didn't accept it
