If he hadn’t taken her to the subsidiary company to fire those employees, she wouldn’t have offended those people. She wouldn’t have needed to suppress her disgust and curry favor with
Mark.
In the driver’s seat, Reuben grew anxious. River seemed to be the only one brave enough to stand up to Noah so bluntly.
Frowning, Noah looked displeased as he glanced at River.
Was she blaming him?
“If I hadn’t come, would you have
Whim tonight?” he asked gloomily.
“What else could I do?” River responded in turn. Should I have stayed there and let myself get
Noah’s expression turned somber. He sounded slightly angry. “River, can’t you survive without. relying on men?”
River grumbled in reply, “What does it matter since you’ve always seen me as that kind of woman anyway?”
Was there any need for her to provide further explanations?
Any sensible person could see through her plot to free herself from Mark, but Noah chose to believe she loved using her charms to survive. It didn’t concern her much, as it wasn’t the first time he had misunderstood her.
Lost in her thoughts, she was suddenly taken aback as he fiercely grabbed her wrist.
Instinctively, she turned around, attempting to free her hand from his grasp. However, he showed no intention of letting go.
“Don’t you remember what I said?” His eyes burned with anger. “So, now that you have money..
you’re full of yourself?”
Confusion washed over her. What did money have to do with their current situation?
Suppressing the pain, she stubbornly spoke up. “So what if that’s the case? Noah De Marco, I’m tired of being your mistress! Now that you’ve found your beloved woman, why won’t you let me leave?
Why are you forcing me to be a home wrecker?”
“Isn’t that what you want?” Noah tightened his grip on her wrist. “Don’t you enjoy flaunting yourself in front of Daniella?”
She was dumbfounded. Why was he being so unreasonable?
She simply didn’t want to be criticized and bullied by Daniella. What in the world made him think that she enjoyed flaunting herself?
Letting out a cold laugh, her gaze filled with disappointment. “Noah, I’ve been with you for three years, yet you never truly knew me.‘
As he detected the sarcasm in her words, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.
But after a moment, he scoffed. ‘I don’t have to know you. After all, you’re willing to do anything for the sake of money!”
In that instant, a wave of heart–wrenching pain engulfed her.
Well, it was true indeed. She had no right to deny that.
She had willingly agreed to become his mistress back then for the sake of money.
Suddenly, she felt relieved that she hadn’t revealed to him that she was pregnant with his child.
Otherwise, he would accuse her of being a scheming and manipulative woman who did anything and everything to usurp another woman’s position.
After returning to the hotel, Noah escorted her to his room. Two bodyguards stood outside, reaffirming that she was being monitored once again.
A message from Paige popped up on her phone. [River, where are you? Mr. De Marco had someone take all your belongings away just now.]
Glancing at her luggage before her, River let out a bitter smile. [I’m in the presidential suite.]
[Be careful, River. Sorry I can’t help you.]
Just as she was about to reply to Paige’s message, a notification from Scott appeared.
[River, is your leg healed?]
She glanced toward the bathroom, realizing that Noah was still inside. Hastily, she replied to the message. [Dr. Wilson, thank you. It’s almost healed.]
While she hadn’t actually consulted a doctor for her leg injury, the medicine Lily had given her proved to be highly effective.
She knew that it was Noah who had arranged for the medicine to be delivered. However, no matter how kind he was to her, she couldn’t bring herself to express gratitude, considering the extent of his monitoring.
Lost in thought, another message from Scott arrived
[I have something to tell you, but you must promise not to get too worked up.]
Scott typed. [Your father came over last night and had a big fight with your mother. He even forced the hospital to give him your mother’s medical fees.]
River furrowed her brows in concern. [Is my mother alright?]
Scott explained. I’m here with her. Don’t worry. I gave him 150 dollars, and he backed down.]
River was taken aback. She couldn’t fathom how her dad could have the audacity to take money from her mother’s doctor.
Although she disapproved of Scott’s independent actions, she couldn’t argue with the fact that he did it for her mother’s sake.
However, since it had happened once, she feared it might happen again.
Pondering over it, she made up her mind to talk to him about it.
After transferring 150 dollars to his account, she typed. [Dr. Wilson, thank you for helping my mother in this situation. But please don’t give my father any money again. If he approaches you, tell him to come to me. Thank you]
Scott didn’t decline because he knew River disliked being indebted to others.
If he didn’t promise her, she might try to convince him all night, so he simply agreed.
Afterward, he asked a question. [Got it. So… when will you be coming back?]
River replied. [In a few days.]
Before she could finish typing the sentence, she heard the bathroom door open.
Noah emerged, wearing a black bathrobe and drying his short hair with a towel.
Quickly, River hid her phone behind a pillow, pretending to watch TV.
However, Noah caught sight of her action.
He approached her and stared at her with his penetrating eyes. “What are you hiding?”
She tried her best to suppressing her anxiety and replied calmly, “The pillow wasn’t very comfortable, so I was just adjusting it.”
Noah narrowed his eyes. Then he tossed the towel aside and forcefully pulled her off the sofa.
As a result, the pillow fell, and he happened to see the conversation between her and Scott, as she hadn’t had time to close her phone.
When he noticed Scott’s name, a cold aura suddenly emanated from him.
He picked up her phone. Fury consumed him as he read the final part of their conversation.
Clenching the phone with his slender fingers, he glared at her fiercely. “How dare you lie to me!”
River felt frightened by his gaze, but she realized she hadn’t done anything wrong, so she responded calmly, “I knew you would be angry, so I chose to keep it from you.”
Unfortunately, he didn’t even give her explanation a chance.
His voice grew colder and more intense. “Are you so eager to see each other?”
River pressed her lips together. “Noah, please try to calm down.”
Just as she was about to turn away and leave, he grabbed her arm and forcefully pushed her back onto the sofa.
Then, he sank his teeth into her shoulder with brutal force.
River cried out in pain. “Noah, have you lost your mind?”
She raised her hands to push him away, but he seized her wrists.
With a face that was both dark and handsome, he looked up, gritting his teeth, and uttered each word forcefully, “River, this is the price you must pay for deceiving me!”
Abruptly, he leaned down and kissed her, biting her lips forcefully to unleash his anger.
The taste of blood flooded her mouth, mingled with the bitterness that pricked her nostrils. !
Brimming with anger, she cursed at him with a mix of frustration and defiance, “Noah, you’re a damn pervert!”
“Pervert? Well, I’ll show you something even more outrageous!”
River curled up on the sofa, her lower body throbbing with excruciating pain.
She shot a resentful glare at the retreating figure of the man before her and asked hoarsely,
When will you let me go?”
Noah, now clad in a bathrobe, cast a cold sidelong glance at her. “You want to leave? Not a chance.”
He squatted down, his fingers tightly pinching her chin. “River, take this as your final warning. If I catch you involved with him again, he will cease to exist in Novamere City.”
River defiantly pushed his hand away. “All you ever do is threaten me.”
Noah sneered, straightening himself up. “No, I also enjoy tormenting you.”
“You despicable and shameless jerk!‘ She swallowed the curses that swirled in her heart and silently endured.
She knew that provoking him would lead to unimaginable consequences. She had to hold on until the day her mother was discharged from the hospital.
After spending five arduous days in Florencia City, Noah brought River back.
During her time confined there, she managed to complete her design drafts. Now, all that remained was to submit her design concept.
As they arrived at Florencia City Airport, Daniella and Paige were already there, awaiting them.
A tinge of envy glimmered in Daniella’s eyes as she observed River approaching, accompanied by Noah.
Waiting for more! This is good.
