Chapter 60: NOAH’s POV

“Noah—” Isabella called out as soon as I got into the main chamber. She was wearing a skimpy dress, it would have gotten to me if it were to be before. 

“Are you okay? I stopped in my tracks and asked her. She came a bit closer to me, biting her lips. 

“Are you free?” 

I squinted my eyebrows, “What do you want?” 

She pouted and gave me a pitiful look which didn't move me a bit, my thoughts were occupied with Ara. “I want you to come with me.” 

“I'm a busy man”, I almost hissed at her., but I was boiling with anger. My forehead furrowed together as she responded, “Come on, just for this evening.” 

What game was she playing now? I asked myself, I could not believe I once thought of getting married to a manipulator like her. 

She held my arm. “Noah, please.” 

I inhaled a sharp breath and tried not to sound too harsh, “I will think about it.” 

Her lips curled into a broad smile, “I knew you wouldn’t decline me”

“Isabella” I called out, my eyes darkened and narrowed as I glared at her deeply, causing her to nervously gulp down. “Why did you come back?” I just wanted to hear from her even though I knew her reason. I had no bad feelings towards her despite what she did towards me, but she wanted to ruin it and force me to hate her. 

“Noah—what are you saying? Her lips trembled, and her eyes glittered with unshed tears. I stepped a bit away from her and gave her a stern look, “You don't have an answer?” 

“I came back for you” She responded stubbornly, her fingers poking my chest. 

I held her hand tightly to stop her, “I'm fucking engaged, where were you all these years??” 

Her lips parted as she stammered, “You—wanted me to come--back?”

I scoffed hard, “No, I was just wondering why you decided to come when I got engaged.” 

She ran her hands through her blond hair, “Noah—I don't care about your engagement! You will always be mine” 

“In your dreams” I responded coldly, wanting to throw her out of my room. The effrontery she had to show up at my house and act like a boss when she slept with my cousin was killing me. 

She reached out to me again, tears streaming down her face, but it was all an act. I had seen through her these last few days, but it wasn't time to ruin things yet, and I had to mend my little outburst. 

“Noah—I just couldn't stop thinking about you” 

I took a deep breath and dodged her hand, I didn't want my wife coming in to meet an intimate scene. “Isabella, let’s leave the past now. What are you doing about your home?” 

She sighed dejectedly, “I will do something soon. You want me to leave?” 

I nodded, “My wife doesn't seem comfortable around you and I don't anymore also”. She looked at me like I had broken her heart, but I wasn't that same Noah who fell for her pitiful face all the time. I gave her a cold smile and walked away from her. I was walking into my room when I realized it'd been hours since Ara left the house. I took out my phone to call my man when I noticed two shadows in a corner. 

I moved closer silently, but I couldn't hear anything. Instead, I saw their faces. It was Imogen and Father Kim talking to each other with so much seriousness. My forehead creased, it was the second time I had seen them together in this way, and I was starting to get curious about them. What could they have to say to each other? It was a pity that I could hear it, so I decided to leave and call Ara’s attention to it. I had always doubted her maid ever since I met her, but not Father Kim. He wouldn't do anything to hurt me. 

I went into my room, but I didn't forget about wanting to call my man, 

“Boss—sorry, your highness” He greeted as he picked up my call and I cleared my throat, “How is she?” 

He responded almost immediately, his voice slightly shaky. “ The—Princess is fine, your highness.”

“Details” I commanded coldly, he was my man, and he wasn't supposed to hide anything from me except he wanted to lose his head. 

“She went shopping but—she is at a car racing competition right now” he responded. I squinted my eyebrows. That was new to me. I never knew she was interested in such things, it was good to have fun, but I could not help to think that he was hiding something else from me. 

“Six” I called out coldly and dangerously, “Spit it out.” 

“Boss, she is competing, and it's kind—-of dangerous. She is with someone—-” He nervously responded and I felt my blood boiling. I didn't need to hear the remaining and hung up before I stormed outside, almost running. 

“Did she want to kill herself? When did she learn car racing? Who is she with???!” I roared in my head, my fists tightened, and ran to my car park. 

“Noah!!! Where are you going???” I heard Isabella’s annoying voice as she strode toward me with Maya. Shirley was still in pain and she was isolated. I ignored them and walked toward my car in rage, 

“Can I come with you? 

I closed my eyes and released a shaky breath, she was delaying me and I could smash her head. I didn't say anything and got into the car, and before I knew it, Isabella and Maya found their way into the car and I drove out at speed. My hands tightened on the wheels and I swore to spank Ara’s ass till she learned her lesson. She was too damn stubborn and troublesome.
