Sophia carried on with her staring directed towards Noah, the man standing at the

head of her, the very same man, for whom she at a leisurely pace embark on to fall for and the very same man who showed her his' that side which never existed, a man with a different expression different gaze holding beneath his eyes.

Smirking he strode close by Sophia and spoke in a deep voice, raising his hands to fondle her cheeks.

"Missed me sweetness?"

But preliminary he can brush back of his veiny hands against her silky cheeks, she closing her beautiful hazel almond shaped eyes, turned her face away.

Taking note of at her response, Noah chuckled and conceptualized 'Only if you latched on how I am grazing these silken cheeks of yours every night.'

Withdrawing his hand back and stuffing it in his pocket, he stood there contemplating at her, for a long duration.

His heart ached to have a glimpse of her, he yarned for her. It's not like he was not able to look at her when he moved furtively in her apartment for consequently two dead of nights, but to have a gander of her while she is all conscious and completely awake is a totally a contrasting thing. Her reactions when Sophia saw him for the first time amused him.

"What are you doing here Noah?"

Sophia put a question in front of him, maintaining some distance in between them and staring down at him.

"Don't be like this sweetheart, I am here to meet me girlfriend, also we have many things left unsaid to be discussed."

Noah replied her smirking cunningly and was amused receiving her reaction.

While Sophia widened her eyes and her expression from astonishment by looking at him turned to thunderbolt on making out what he was denoting her as.

"At present, I am not your girlfriend. And I don't want to discuss anything with you." Sophia tried her best not to shudder while speaking but failed badly because of the impact he have of himself on her, specially after that night.

"Oh! Lam so sorry darling. came here to meet mv.wife."

Sophia's mouth opened agape in confoundment. What does he think of himself as? World doesn't works on his finger.

On contrary, Noah looked at Sophia smiling, grazing tip of his tongue through the edges of his anterior teeth. Letting out a loud chuckle, he spoke again "Who would not want to meet his to be wife when she is this ravishing and irresistible."

"Any of such thing is not transpiring in coming future Noah. Stop presupposing things."

With hooded eyes Noah spoke, still smile plastered on his face "If I ever tell you the thing I actually presuppose or fantasize about, you won't be able to handle."

Staring annoyingly at his shamelessness, Sophia spoke this time in a low voice. "Have you ever heard of word consent."

Laughing out loud Noah spoke "Have you ever heard of a crown head asking consents?"

"They don't go around slapping their desires on other's face to get it fulfilled. You, yourself said that if I walk out of that room nothing would be left anymore in between us."

"Yeah I did and even after that you dared to walk away that night, didn't attended my calls, not for once called me back in these past three days."

Saying so Noah walked in Sophia's personal space, resulting her to take few steps back to maintain the distance between them. But before she can step further away, he held her hand firmly and pulled her in, colliding his chest to her's while she tried to wrest her wrist from his hold.

"Let's have a fresh start Sophia, marry me. I am ready to forgive you."

Anger outpoured in Sophia's eyes and she spoke "Grant an amnesty to me? For what? As far as I can reminiscent about, I didn't do any such thing to be blame worthy off, instead you tried to force yourself on me."

Sophia spoke while trying best to separate them by placing her arms on his chest.

"And you rejected my touch, slapped me not just that kicked me."

Sophia let out a loud chuckle and spoke

"That was your well earned reward you deserved it, for deceiving me with-"

Sophia stopped in midway apprehending how his metal grey eyes turned dark and his pupil dilated, covered by strands of hairs falling on his forehead.

Displeasure boiled in him and words echoed in his ears 'he deserves that?' For what? For taking care of her or for always be there. She is his lover and he have all rights over her, to do whatsoever he wishes for.

Sophia started to wriggle in his arms to get free and spoke again "Don't create a scene here Noah, this is my workplace, everyone can see us, leave me."

In a dark growl Noah spoke "So you are worried entirely and wholly about your image?"

Noah's words silenced Sophia's rebel and she kept on looking in his eyes.

"That night too you were worried about yourself, your consent, your wishes. What

about me? Did you ever considered me as part of your life? Did you even ever liked me back?" Noah questioned Sophia almost screaming.

"Noah." Sophia spoke this time with her eyes welling up and in a shaky voice.

This is what she got after giving him her heart, placing her trust on him, being questioned about her true-heartedness and not go on with his wishes.

"Tell me Noah did 'you' ever liked me? For this whole period of time? Or was it only your pure lust for which you came behind me?"

Sophia spoke letting her tears free to fall from her eyes and damp her cheeks, but not for once breaking their eye contact.

Noah kept on looking at the hurt soul at the head of his vary own eyes.

Sophia spoke again between her sobs "Even if you are the last man on this whole planet, I will never go on with your wishes Noah and marry you. Not on you life." And her this statement got on his nerves.

"This is the amount of hate you hold for me?" Noah kept on staring down at her with his fire blazing eyes.

"Fine, I'll uncover it for you. Everything and now every other fucking thing will happen with your own consent but according to mine thirst. You just bide your time."

Giving utterance to his words, he left Sophia with a jerk and smiled at her saying "Count your days darling, you yourself will agree to marry me."

"I won't I would never agree with you."

Stepping back to quite a safe distance from Noah, Sophia spoke so.

Noah let out a laugh at her being naive. Travelling his sharp eyes from her face to down her slender neck, he found slightly faded red-purple coloured bite covering it and indentation of a deep bite where he sank his teeth on, over her collar bone. Looking at them he smiled and spoke "They look so perfect against your skin, covering your long neck."

When Noah had already pointed it out, Sophia realized that her makeup had melted away causing the marks given by him to be visible. She immediately tried to cover them up with placing her hand over them.

Noah chuckled looking at her response and red blush spread across her cheeks, but soon again his mood turned sore when he noticed something off and enquired her.

"Where's the necklace I gave you."

"I'll return it back to you, I don't have it with me at the moment-"

"I didn't gave it to you to be returned back to me. Put it on from tomorrow." Noah instructed Sophia with a warn in his heavy low voice.

"I won't." Sophia replied without delay of even a second. Closing his eyes Noah let out

a warm long breath before opening them again and roared.

"Sophia, don't you dare to test my patience. I am letting you know for the last time."

"I won't wear it, I don't want to be associated with you in any form, neither do we have anything in between us where I will have to listen to your demands or to have on the things you gave me. If you don't want it back, I will throw it for you."

Sophia let out everything she was holding in her heart in a single go while Noah kept on listening to her, and even when she concluded with what she wanted to express, he didn't uttered a single word, rather turned expressionless making it difficult for Sophia to read him.

Eventually after looking at her for a good amount of time he spoke "Fine Sophia, if this is what you wish for."

Sophia frowned at what he was saying exactly conflicting to his sum and substance, but Noah again opened his thin lips to speak.

"I will bundle you up in such a way, that you would never ever be able to set yourself free, being associated with me endlessly."

She kept on looking with her doe hazel eyes in his metal grey one's just to find pure obsession over them.

While Noah saying so smiled and walking near her bent down to place a soft kiss over her cheeks and walked out of the shop.

All of this happened in such a short period of time that by the moment Sophia registered what had happened, he was already out walking towards his car and sitting in it he drove off.

Sophia went near chair with her already wobbling legs and slumped down on it trying her best to calm her heart that was racing down.

While talking to Noah and keeping her points in front of him, Sophia tried her best to show herself as brave with every once she had in her, and not to cast her fear on her face. But as soon as he left, she lost it and slumped down.

She didn't imagined him to be here for her but at least when they were still in public, he didn't do anything evil with her.

Having some water and wetting her dry lips and throat, she calmed down.

She never imagined him to brag in her workplace and create a scene, but at least she is

safe when in front of everyone else.

His words initiated to echo in her ear. 'Wife.'

She would never marry a man and start a family with him, who only had desired to

fulfil his deep dark intentions rather than to love her. If she ever would want to marry, she would prefer someone who likes her back.

Above all what does he takes himself off, what so ever he will say she will comply with. She is not a puppet in his hands.

Only if she knew how she is going to turn to one.

Soon she started to work with arranging flowers and attending customers, but today

even work was not able to occupy her brain rather her mind again travelled back to the time when he had warned her.

Finishing off her work by nine at night she handed over the keys to the manager and walked out of the café to the direction of her home.

While walking back, she kept on turning her head back to see if any unusual thing is happening or if someone is following her.

But nothing happened and she safely reached her building and as soon as she did she

ran to the stair and up to the floor.

Reaching doors of her apartment she opened it scanning her retina and entering it she closed it huffing large gulps of oxygen.

Walking in bedroom, she let her body fall over bed and without having dinner or having a bath to freshen herself up, she remained unmoved in the bed while thinking of how to escape Noah's clutches while looking at the moon as pure as Sophia. Many thoughts ran through her mind, like running away from the city for some days, but where will she? Her parent's grave and their mansion is here, at some point of time she will have to return back. She also thought of home arresting herself in her late parent's home but what will she eat, she don't have enough of savings. Also, monthly she have to pay some amount to set her home free from mortgage.

She also thought of making a police complain, but being wise she was well aware of the fact it won't be difficult for Noah to get out any of situation.

Same as moon is tainted along with being under constant changes, Sophia's life soon going to be likewise, with marks and being under constant changes from now on. Not knowing when she fell asleep while running her mind. Sophia woke up only when morning arrived and sunrays peeped in through window lightening her beautiful face causing her to stir in her sleep.

Waking up, her eyes met the blazing rays of the sun and first thing came in her mind were Noah's silvery eyes full of fire, so sharp that can't be met for a long time. Sighing she brushed his thoughts aside, the more she wishes not to think about that man the more he is making space in her mind, the teller of lies and a deceiver. Freshening up and having bread in form of her breakfast, she walked out of apartment and went to her gallery. Standing out of her cabin she debated whether she should walk in or not but finally making up her mind she did, but found nothing. Although she left it unlocked last day, but still nothing was there.

Working up for the whole day she went to her café and again didn't found Noah there. She was gladdened at some point of time, at least now he will not be following her every other place and disturbing her mental peace.

Working and trying her best to extract the deeply rooted fear she has for Noah, when clock crawled to nine, she didn't got the hint of.

Walking in slow strolling steps, she walked back to her apartment and entering it she locked it perfectly.

Keeping noodles to boil she discarded her clothes and went in to have a long warm

shower.

Securing her hairs into a bun and wrapping a towel around her water dripping body

she walked out of the washroom to get on her clothes.

Walking straight to her cabinet, she rummaged through her clothes and when found, she took out teas and shorts to wear on, she closed the cabinet.

Just as she opened the knot in towel holding it in place to unwrap it and wear her

clothes, she heard a husky deep voice, echo behind her in the room. "Perfect frame."

Giving ear to the dark low voice, she immediately recognized it to be from whom causing her heart to leap and race in a fast speed.

Hastily securing her towel back, Sophia turned back to find Noah's tall figure camouflaging with darkness, sitting with crossed legs one above another on a chair present in her room with sleeves of his white shirts folded and his uncombed hairs'

strands falling and covering his eyes.

"How did you get in?"

Sophia questioned him with fear clearly observable in her voice.

Before answering to her questions, Noah let out a chuckle and spoke,

"Really darling? Now, your question should be, how are you going to save yourself from me?"
