Carissa called her father, "Dad can we meet?" It was a weekend so Mr. Zak was at home.

"You remember you have a father. I thought you forgot about it". He was being sarcastic. But his sarcasm was right; she is so busy with work and Panther that Carissa does not have time to call and check up on him. "You did not even tell me where you live. I am worried about you".


"Dad I am totally fine. You don't have to be worried about me. Are you free today?" She avoided the question about where she is living.

"Yeah I am at home. You can come". But she does not want to go there at any cost.

She was very serious, "Dad I want to treat you to a meal. Let's meet outside at your favorite place". This was her first time asking her father out for a meal. There was no way that Mr. Zak would reject her offer. "Are you really my daughter? What trouble have you caused this time?" It was always like this. Whenever she is in trouble Carissa would do some brown nosing and her father would melt.


Carissa sighed, at that moment Noah entered the room. She immediately placed her index finger on her lips indicating him to stay quiet. With careful steps he came and hugged her from the back, snuggling his face in her neck, inhaling his favorite scent.

"There is nothing wrong. Why are you keep getting suspicious?" She defended herself.


"Okay I am sorry for getting suspicious about you. Let's meet for dinner". Mr. Zak agreed.

Carissa was worried, "Am I doing the right thing?" she asked him. Because in this revenge in the end her father will be one that will be hurt.

Noah held her shoulder and made her face him. "Look you are not doing anything wrong. It is your right to know the truth. And about inheritance it is your right too. Later you can keep your share and give back the remaining". He is always like this calms her down and blows away her insecurities with one sentence.

She nodded as she understood the meaning behind his words. "Stop worrying I will support your decision and help you. Even in the future if you want to give up I will be with you".

She was very grateful. "Thank you Noah". Her eyes were teary.

He kissed her forehead. "You are my wife….my responsibility. You deserve care from me. You don't have to be thankful".

She wrapped her hands around his waist. "You are very precious to me". She spoke after a long time.

His lips curled into a beautiful smile, "Really? Should I feel honored?"

Carissa laughed, "Of course".

"Then I am honored". He said in a hoarse voice.

                        ----‐----‐‐--‐‐

At night,

She was sitting in a black Benz with Noah. He parked the car in front of a very exquisite restaurant. "I will wait for you here. When you will be done call me". He spoke in a commanding tone.

"You should go home and have a rest. I will call a driver". Carissa knows how busy he is during the weekdays and even on weekends he barely has time to rest. She really does not want to be a hurdle for him. He glared at her to stop her from speaking further.

"Okay. I will call you". Carissa obediently said.

She went inside the restaurant, and her father was already waiting for her. When he saw her there was a smile on his face. She hugged her father and greeted him warmly.

The waiter brought a menu card. "Dad you can order anything. It is my treat".

"Treat? Is there any happy occasion today?"

"No. But I have resigned from white empire". She said cheerfully.

Mr. Zak looked at her daughter speechlessly. Even the waiter was stunned. It is the dream company of many and she resigned from there. "Reason?" he asked for a reason as he angrily shut the menu card. He knew something was not right when she called him. "Did you have a fight with Noah?" he gave her his own predictions.

"No… no Dad. You are taking things in a wrong way. We did not have any fight or arguments. I think if he learns enough I want to work in your company. That's why I stopped working there".

Mr. Zak was shocked by his daughter. He did not expect such a thing from her. It is a great sign. She is changing and now acting mature. He was happy.

"Are you sure there is nothing wrong?" he once again wanted to confirm.

Carissa sighed, "You can call Noah and ask him. You really don't trust me".

"Yeah I don't trust you I had enough of you in the past." He was bluntly honest. "But now I can see that you are changing. My company is also yours. As long as you don't cause any trouble I will let you work there".

Why is everyone so afraid of her causing trouble? Her Dad will kick her out if something is wrong. Meanwhile her husband will tie her down in the same case.

"Don't worry I will work wholeheartedly". She assured him. "Please order". Carissa placed a menu card in front of him.

They had a very good dinner in a very cheerful environment. Mr. Zak was very happy to see the new and responsible side of his daughter. He wanted to trust her and give her a chance. Of course he had no plan to leave her in the hands of others.

Carissa was successful in gaining the trust. Her heart was anxious. She doesn't want to back stab her father but it is necessary for him to see the evil side of the people he is living with.

Noah was waiting for her outside in the cold. She hurriedly finished her food and looked up at her father, "Then dad see you on Monday".

"Okay. But you haven't told me yet where are you living?"

Mr. Zak was worried about her safety. No matter what she is his daughter. "At first I was living in an apartment given by the company but now I am looking for another place". She lied and felt guilty. But Carissa had her own reasons she cannot tell him yet about living with Noah.

"Shall I look for a place?"

"No. I will look on my own according to my budget. I told you I want to be independent".

"Tell me if you need something".

"Okay thank you dad."

She came outside and directly went towards his car.

"How was the dinner?" he asked.

"It was good. Dad has agreed to give me a job".

"That's good".

Carissa wondered if he had eaten anything, "Did you have dinner?"

"Yeah. I was sitting behind you". Carissa placed her hand on her mouth in a shock. "So, if Mr. Zak calls me and asks about you should I tell him about the jumping incident".

She cursed in her mind and made puppy eyes, "Please don't. I beg you".

He was amused, "First give me something then I will think about it".

"You are really a businessman". She pouted.

"Of course".

"Okay I will give you what do you want?"

Noah came forward towards her and pointed at his cheek. She helplessly looked at him and gave him a quick peck. He did not look satisfied at all.

"A longer one".

Carissa clenched her fists and gave him a longer kiss.

"Now, it's better".

She rolled her eyes at him. He has started to act like a hooligan.
