"Hello Lisa, you are looking quite, umm, how should I frame it? Incandescent?"

Noah spoke to Lisa, as he made an entry in Five Carriage Restaurant And Bar and he made an exact description of Lisa, she was standing with furious mood along side Samuel, who smiled watching Noah and Sophia.

Lisa looked at the duo and became more enraged and her power of observation landed on Noah's hand placed over Sophia's waist.

Seizing the perception of where Lisa's eyes were, Noah pulled Sophia more in the vicinity of himself, causing her to crack against his hard chest.

On the other hand, Sophia pulled her best smile to show Lisa that Noah's lascivious hands placed on her lower back were not making her ill at ease remotely.

"Hey Lisa! You came quite early."

Saying so Sophia walked so as to approach Lisa and pulled her in a hug. After seconds Lisa replied, pulling back with a smile.

"Yeah, we did."

Lisa smiled looking at Sophia and spoke again with sadness clearly visible.

"Hope you are doing fine."

"I am Lisa, what will happen to me in less than twenty four hours."

"Of course Sophia, but as now you are in capture of a devil, I will have to make sure of your well being than and now."

As Lisa finished her statement, she looked at Noah, who like a shameless undisguised creature was smiling cunningly and looking at both friends as if Lisa has just now given him an outstanding compliment.

"Time over."

Noah deftly pulled Sophia back in his warm yet uncomfortable, ill at ease embrace, once again encircling his arms around Sophia's waist.

"Hi Samuel."

Sophia greeted Samuel cheerfully and felt Noah's hand tightening around her waist. "Hello Sophie, met you after a long time. How are you?"

"I am fine Samuel."

Sophia felt Noah again pulling her more in his arms and additional pressure where he placed his hands on her.

Noah was not able to withstand, how Sophia was cheerfully communicating with other man comfortably forasmuch as she looks at him with holding fear in her eyes. "Let's get seated."

Noah's voice that was full of amusement split seconds ago, now turned dark and heavy, resonating around them.

Everyone walked to there respective seats and soon they were joined by Leo, Rosie and Dexter and many more other important clients and investors of Noah's establishment. Where Leo was getting overwrought about Sophia and Noah's future for he was well aware of what set of conditions they are getting married. Rosie was happy for Noah getting married to a beautiful soul.

In contradistinction to everyone else, Dexter was pissed at the news of their marriage, as he wanted the vary enchantress and innocent soul like Sophia for himself.

Carrying a stoic manner, Dexter thumped on his seat and passed a hard glare to Noah who well aware of his look daggers, turned his head towards Dexter and gave him most devilish smile from his collection.

Holding Dexter's eyes, Noah brought Sophia's hand near his lips and placed a soft kiss

in the back of her hand causing Sophia to look at him with utter shock.

As Sophia followed the line of sight of Noah's, she found them both glaring at each other like cat scowling at each other over their favourite toy.

Sophia cleared her throat in a voice more louder than necessary, causing them both to

bring an end to their glare keeping up with the Joneses.

Everyone begin to dig in their plates and soon the room filled with chatter and laughter.

Soon after Sophia felt a cold hand in her thigh which found it's way up her leg through the hem of her above knee length dress.

She turned her head to look at Noah, but he held expressionless face listening keenly to what Samuel was continuously chattering.

Suddenly she felt a squeeze in her inner thigh which took her off guarded, causing the clutch of her fingers around the knife tightening.

"Noah."

Sophia spoke in a low voice so that it is heard by only him. Noah speedily turned his head to face Sophia and the eyes that were holding monotonous expression a few moments back were now holding mischievousness in them.

'How could he switch from one expression to the other in matter of seconds.' Thought bubbled up in Sophia's mind.

"Anything wrong darling?"

"Remove your hand, we are still among our people."

Sophia tried to reason out.

"So? You are mine to hold, mine to touch, either in public or in our bedroom."

Noah winked at Sophia showcasing his perfectly aligned teeth arrangement and soon again turned to face Samuel; and a very big yes, again with vacant expression. Suddenly Noah stood up from his seat and begin his evening speech. "Sweet ladies and gentleman,

A hearty welcome to pre wedding dinner of mine and my beautiful bride, Sophia,

It was well said millions years ago by a wise man, that every other man in this cosmos, good or bad, rich or poor, evil or virtuous, every other fucking man will find his other better half.

After making my way across three decades of being bachelor, at last I found my other half in Sophia, the most innocent, beautiful angle, angle paired up for a devil like me."

Noah smiled while speaking, as if is in seventh heaven.

"The first day I saw her near the cemetery, I fell for her the vary moment, hard and addicted. After wooing her for more than two months and twenty six days, I am finally going to get married to love of my life, Sophia."

If any other girl would have heard it, she would have felt as if Noah is seriously in love with her with no other ill intentions.

When Lisa heard his speech, she rolled her eyes and pushed whole of the wine in glass down her throat in a single go.

And as for Sophia, she was in utter shock, cemetery? She couldn't recall ever catching sight of him any where near cemetery. Was this all his plan all along from the time she is not even aware of?

Many questions popped in her brain when she heard people around her clapping and Noah spoke again, this time like a shameless man lying and looking directly in her eyes.

"I wish so much to cross my lifetime with you, till our hair grows grey, wrinkles cover our skin and our children settles successfully far away from us."

Sophia eyes blurred because of the lake of tears covering her orbs and dampening her lashes. Looking at her one may think that she have became emotional listening to the Noah's speech that touched her heart, but in reality, realisation hit her so hard that it was suffocating her.

Did he approached her in the flower shop intentionally and presented it as a co- incidence? Or did he placed carved sculpture order intentionally in her gallery and brought her in line of his employee, again presenting it as a co-incidence.

"So I would like you all to cordially invite to the commencement of new journey of mine and Sophia."

Some of them begin to clap, while others cheered Noah for a good speech, raising their glasses to him.

While Sophia looked at Noah without batting her lids, knowing it never was love at first sight rather lust at first sight, never he wooed her rather forced and manipulated her to marry him.

To begin with, it was all along a game for him, the hate and disgust she feels for him increased many folds.

Instantaneously, Noah looked at Sophia and found her in tears, bringing his fingers near her eyes, he tried to wipe it off, thinking he touched her heart.

But Sophia closed her eyes and turned her head, not letting him touch her.

Noah retrieved his hands to his sides clutching them into a fist, causing all his veins to pop out of his exposed back of the palm and clenching his jaw, giving rise to his muscles to flex.

This all happening didn't went unnoticed by Lisa, who was now very sure of one thing, Sophia not only didn't loved him, rather he is forcing her in all this state of affairs.

But again until and unless Sophia herself excepts that, how is she going to go to the core of matter.

Soon Noah once again became busy in talking with his investors and other clients and Sophia again begin to drink, so as to absorb all these information, she came across this evening.

"Enough, no more."

Noah told Sophia holding her hand and preventing her to bring the brim of her wine glass near her mouth.

Freeing her hand from his', Sophia again drank the whole content in one go, generating burning sensation in her throat badly, along with in Noah's eyes.

"I would like to take my leave, my wife needs much needed rest now."

Noah excused in the most polite way possible to other people and holding Sophia's hand made her stand on her feet and dragged her out of the hall.

"I don't want to go yet."

Sophia tried to wriggle out of his clutch but Noah made sure to hold her tight enough

so as she can't set herself free.

"Noah."

Sophia protested once again, but Noah never ceased in his way out, as if she had never

said any such thing.

"I'll drop her, you may re-join them."

Noah halted in his pace when heard Lisa voice from behind.

Sophia already got on his wick in fair enough amount and the last thing he wishes was

to deal with a brat.

Turning back he spoke,

"She is my wife, my responsibility, you may leave her on me."

He was about to resume his walk, when he heard again.

"She is going to be, not yet."

"Lisa, go back with Samuel."

This time around it was Sophia who spoke, though staggering but in a stern voice.

"But Sophia, you are not in a good-"

"No buts, Lisa. Just go."

Sophia almost scolded Lisa this time and Noah looked at her with a smirk, boiling

Lisa's blood.

Lisa creaking her heels walked out of the restaurant, as if wanted to drill holes on the floor with them.

Sophia felt a pang in her heart, she can't tell Lisa or else she will dig in and go to the core, neither can she cry on her shoulder or else she won't let this marriage happen ever and Noah as a part of his revenge, will tell Lisa about her past.

Only thing she can do was to avoid her for her good.

Noah walked to the car holding Sophia and made her sit in the passenger seat.

Their journey begin back to Sophia's mansion, which was dispersed by silence in between them, no short talks, no casual words exchange.

Soon they crossed Norfolk and reached Edenton, and Noah parked his Mercedes-Benz in front of Sophia's mansion.

At once Sophia got off the car and staggered her way in, but suddenly her hand was

tugged from behind and her body collided with the hard chest where else her mouth was invaded by Noah's tongue.

Sophia tried her best to separate from him, but Noah walked her while not leaving her

mouth to the car and bending her back to his car's bonnet, he more wildly started to kiss her.

When he felt that if he continue any further, she might loose her consciousness

because of the lack of oxygen, he left her mouth and spoke in husky voice.

"Are we playing tantrum games darling?"

"No, you are playing with my life game Noah."

Saying her words, Sophia pushed him and walked in her mansion, while Noah didn't understood what she meant and kept on looking at her.

Soon the day came for which Noah was waiting impulsively and Sophia never wanted

it to occur at the first place, ever.

Standing at the end of aisle, Noah was waiting for Sophia to occur with expressions that were hard to read by anyone.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on the angel of his life, walking towards him, in the attire he

have already seen earlier, but today she seemed different; divine, untainted and pure.

As if God have made this beautiful angel to not only walk down aisle but also all the

way down his heart, and change him forever.♡
