To wasn’t everytime he grew excited. Infact, for a long time, excitement was a rare emotion to him until he met Felicity. Now, he always caught himself smiling at the little things she did, and he liked it.
Since their last dinner together was ruined by Axel, he planned to make this one memorable. He had made re highly recommended seafood restaurant since he had noticed she liked seafood a lot.

Pulling up in front of Orion group, he was about to call, but suddenly, his eyes caught her silhouette beside someone he had grown to dislike-Caster. Why was he there of all day?
Felicity’s back was turned to him, so he couldn’t see her expression, but he could see Caster’s smug smile clearly. Caster glanced in his direction as if he could sense his presence before pulling Felicity for a kiss.
Noah felt a crushing weight of disappointment and despair wash over him, mixed with anger. His grip on the steering wheels tightened until his knuckles turned white.
Unable to watch any longer, he dejectedly drove back to the estate for a drink.
With each glass of whiskey, his mind raced with thoughts of Felicity and Caster, their kiss burned into his memory like a brand. He couldn’t shake the image from his mind, couldn’t understand how she could betray him like this.
He thought they hated each other. How many lies had she told?
When he heard Felicity arrive at the house like nothing had happened, it enraged him. How could she pretend to care for him when she was doing this behind him?
He couldn’t control his anger and let it out like a dam.
Felicity stood frozen, taken aback by his harsh tone. She knew there was something about him, and she probably should just ignore him, but something gnawed in her heart to comfort him
She tried to touch him again in concern, “What’s wrong-” before she could finish her sentence, Noah flung his glass at the wall in front of them in rage. She closed her eyes as the shards scattered around the room, and one nicked her slightly on the neck.
“I said get your f**ng hands off me!” He bellowed, his voice echoing through the room.
She flinched back in fright, her heart racing at his sudden outburst. She had never seen him this angry before. “D-Did something happen? Why are you so mad?” She stuttered, dumbfounded.
Noah’s scoff cut through the silence like a knife as he rose from his seat. He gave Felicity a look of disdain, taking menacing steps towards her. “Don’t you feel like a hypocrite asking me that? His voice dripped with venom

“You promised to stay loyal to me. How could you betray me like that? I trusted you,” His voice was laced with hurt and disbelief. “Do you really like him that much?”
“What are you talking about?” Felicity’s breath caught in her throat as she backed up against the wall, feeling trapped as Noah

Nosali’s grip only tightened, his eyes “When we made this deal. I asked you to be loyal to me. If you couldn’t do such a uple task, then why did you agree to this marriage! I hate people who lie, Felicity His voice was low and menacing
I didn’t do anything. I am loyal to you” Felicity defended herself, trying her best not to let her terror show.
Then, why did you kiss him?!” Noah yelled to her face in accusation, his voice filled with hurt. “You kissed your ex boldly in public, and say you are loyal?”
She had tom his heart to shreds. He had seen the signs before but didn’t want to believe it. She was always talking and
iking about Caster, and was wary of both of them meeting so this was the reason. Could they have been secretly having an affair! That was the only explanation.
that was the case, then why lead him on and deceive him just like the others in his life? He thought she was better.
Felony eyes widened as she finally realised what all this was about. He must have witnessed the kiss between her and Gaer, and misunderstood. If only he would just allow her to explain
“It’s not like-”
Tve heard that excuse a billion times, so save it. I don’t want to see your face right now.” He spat, freeing her from his hold before picking up his jacket and storming out of the house.
Felicity sank to the floor in exhaustion, massaging her throat, still perplexed about everything that transpired and unable to reconcile that Noah had confronted like this. It was also a wake up call for her. She had been so relaxed with the lion that she forgot he could bite
That night, she waited and waited in hopes that he would return, but Noah never came home. The first time sleeping alone, the bed felt cold and empty till the next morning
