(I recommend you a song to enjoy with this chapter.

Monsta x, Middle of the night)


~You make me wanna run it all back

~Nobody's ever done me like that

~I thought l'd never ever need you


~Now all I wanna do is see you

~I shouldn't let it happen so fast


~Girl, why'd you have to beg me like that?

~Your love is nothing but a see-through

~I tell myself that I should leave you

~But who? I don't wanna know

~Where you wanna go

~Who you're taking home

~'Cause I can't lose everything I know

~I hate sleeping alone

~I'm picking up the phone

~And l'll be on the way in the middle of the night

~'Cause I can't never wait for the morning to rise

~We're kissing in the car underneath of the light

~You got me, you got me

~And l'll be on the way in the middle of the night

~There's something in the way you be running my mind

~If you want me to stay for the rest of my life

~You got me, you got me

~Remember all the nights like this?

~Sleeping in the Motel Six

~We take all of the backstreets home

~Making sure your friends don't know

~I never thought l'd get it like this

~Still think about the very first kiss

~But I could never lie to you

~I'm going out my mind for you

~But who? I don't wanna know

~Where you wanna go

~Who you're taking home

~'Cause I can't lose everything I know

~I hate sleeping alone

~I'm picking up the phone

~And l'll be on the way in the middle of the night

~'Cause I can't never wait for the morning to rise

~We're kissing in the car underneath of the light

~You got me, you got me

~And l'll be on the way in the middle of the night

~There's something in the way you be running my mind

~If you want me to stay for the rest of my life

~You got me, you got me

~And l'll be on the way in the middle of the night

~'Cause I can't never wait for the morning to rise

~We're kissing in the car underneath of the light

~You got me, you got me

~And l'll be on the way in the middle of the night

~There's something in the way you be running my mind

~If you want me to stay for the rest of my life

~You got me, you got me

~Back to my ways in the middle of the night

~I go back to my ways in the middle of the night...

"What are you doing here?" Carissa never imagined that he would come to see her in the middle of the night. 'Does he loves me so much that he couldn't bear one day?'. She felt so blessed and happy at the same time. The happiness and glint.... she could not hide it.

Noah knew that she would get mad if he called her. So, he prefered actions on words and straightly came to see her.

"Came to see you". He replied nonchalantly and she could smell the alcoholic stink. So, he is really enjoying a bachelor night.

Celeste thought it was leading somewhere else."You have seen her now you should go." Celeste dragged Carissa inside and closed the door at his face.

"I will see you tomorrow". He shouted from outside because he cannot fight with Celeste.

Carissa had to go to the conference with him. She could not sleep well. 'UGH...' she kicked the blanket back in frustration. She forgot that she cannot sleep without him. Noah was wide awake even after drinking. He thought that she might not be comfortable so called her. Carissa on the other end immediately received the call. "Were you sleeping?" His deep voice struck her ear.

She glanced at the Celeste who was sleeping comfortably. She came out of the room and plopped on the sofa in the living room.

Carissa shook her head, "No. How can I sleep without you?" She was honest. That was pleasing to hear.

Noah let out a melodious chuckle. "Shall I come to pick you up?" Carissa thought he was joking. But next she heard him grabbing the coat and the keys. "NO!! I cannot break my promise. How can you think of sneaking away?" She frowned but that was an exciting thought to run away in the middle of night with him.

"I am your husband and I have a full authority on you. I can think of taking you away from the world". He scoffed.

Carissa laughed at his possessiveness. "It's okay. You should have some rest. I am sure tomorrow is going to be a long day for you."

Noah was still tense. "How will you sleep then? Okay. Lie down and don't hang up". He commanded.

Like an obedient kid, she immediately followed his orders. He did the same, "Close your eyes".

The comfort, the warmth which she was missing surrounded her again. The breathing started to get even. "I have learnt a lesson today..." he heard her saying in a very low and sleepy voice.

"Hmmm..." he wanted her to continue.

"Just your name is enough to put me at ease." She said.

"Really!!" He loved the sudden confession. "Tell me more."  

"And marrying you is the best decision that I have ever made".

"More.."

"I love your company, I love your presence, I  love every little thing about you". Carissa was drifting towards the slumber. With each word her voice was getting lower and lower.

This time, Noah did not say the word 'more'. He just  continued to hear her breathing. "And I just love you. I fuckingly love you". Noah said in a very low tone making sure not to disturb her sleep.

The night continued to grow deeper and they don't know when they fell asleep.

Celeste woke up and saw Carissa was not with her. She looked for her and found it in the living room. "Carissa woke up. You will get late from the conference." Celeste shouted and prepared breakfast.

Carissa woke up immediately from the word conference. She looked on the mobile phone and found that they talked for about 3 hours. "I don't remember talking....." As the realization hit her, she gasped. Was he listening to her? But what? Her breathing? Goodness!!

He is always full of surprises. Whenever she feels like he can't be more sweet than this, he does something greater than the previous one, leaving her stunned and of course loved.

Carissa immediately ran to the bathroom and did her morning routine and had breakfast with Celeste.

"Nervous?" Celeste asked when she noticed that Carissa is not eating properly.

Carissa nodded profoundly. "Damn nervous!!"

"It's gonna be alright. You husband will be with you. What's there to be nervous about?"

She was right. Carissa instantly brushed off the fears. She believes that with him, everything will go well.

She changed into a dress that Noah bought for her and he strictly instructed her to wear it on the day of the press conference. It was a knee length cream coloured dress.

The diamonds were engraved on the top part. She let her hair down and did a little make up. The simple dress was like a reflector, reflecting her enchanting beauty more. Carissa was satisfied with the look.

It was almost noon and she was about to call him but the doorbell rang. Celeste opened the door and she ran from behind to see him.

Celeste was like a wall for them. He looked at her then turned around, "Take care of her". She heard him saying and she saw Edwin coming in the frame.

She really forgot to breathe and her face turned red.

"Hi." Edwin said.

But the words did not come out of her mouth and she kept on staring at him with the blinking eyes.

"Carissa, we are getting late". Carissa who was now more interested in Edwin and Celeste was literally dragged out to the venue of the conference.

"Will they be fine?" She asked Noah on the way.

"They are not kids. Stop stressing yourself". He patted her head lightly.

"We are here, Mr. President". The driver informed and when she looked outside it was grander than the imagination. The red carpet was laid, hundreds of reporters were waiting for them and as expected, his countless fans.

Even though no one has ever seen him before as he keeps a low profile but he is famous for being so mysterious and such a glory at a young age has always kept the public curious. It was a chance that they never wanted to slip away.

"He is there". A reporter shouted. Meanwhile, he opened the door for her and made Carissa snake her hand around his.

He gave her a nod of assurance and she took a deep breath. All their way inside, he did not saud a single word while everyone was losing their minds.

Inside the venue, they settled on the seats.

"Hello everyone and thank you for your time. You can ask questions now". His cold voice was a reminder for them to stay in their limits or else he won't mind beheading them.  

Carissa too shrugged at his tone.

"Mr. Noah, can you introduce the lady beside?" A question came.

He looked at her while his eyes softened. He was not the same man. "My wife". She heard him saying.
