On the dining table,

Before Carissa could sit with Noah, Jia came hurriedly and sat beside him. Carissa was speechless by her fast running. She ran at the speed of flash. Noah looked at her coldly. His murderous instincts were clearly visible. But she ignored his eyes because they were enough to drain her energy. Jia shamelessly sat with him. He wanted to eat dinner and leave.


'Okay little one if this is what you want'. He thought. 'You will have fun'. She was actually underestimating him. He can take her to hell right now.

Carissa was left with no choice. She quietly took a seat beside Jia. It was better to sit with her than sitting with Dylan. They started to eat quietly. After Noah insulted Dylan, he remained quiet. It was better for him to keep his mouth shut if he does not want to embarrass himself anymore.

'About Carissa, I will deal with her later'. Dylan thought. 'I will see how long you will remain covered under his wings'. His mind was having a chain of thoughts.


Jia placed her hand on Noah's thigh under the table. She is very daring. He wanted to applaud for her boldness. His face was still emotionless, what was he thinking no one could tell. There were no traces of anger on his face. Jia took it as a cue that he is enjoying her touch. But she is too naive to expect such a cheap thing from him. Noah held a jug filled with juice. He poured some in his glass first. Then, he looked at Jia, "Do you want some?" he asked.

"Yeah. Thank you". Jia was over the cloud nine as he offered her first.


He started to pour in her glass. The glass was filled but he did not stop pouring. The juice started to fall out of the glass, staining the table. Everyone on the table was stunned at his action, even Carissa too.

"What are you doing?" Jia was on the peak of her tolerance.

Noah looked at the table, "OH my bad". But instead of stopping he poured the remaining liquid on her body.

Jia stood up instantly to protect herself. Her body was looking more disgusting because of the sticky liquid on her bare skin, "How dare you". Jia shouted at him. No one have ever dared to treat her like this. She has always lived the life of a princess. Of course she was not going to tolerate his behavior too. Even if is a king, he has no right to step on people. But unfortunately, he can step on them and on the top of that..... very badly. Carissa placed her hands on her mouth in shock.

"You should never waste food. Drink all of it". His voice was commanding, cold and piercing. He was glaring at her with piercing eyes.

Jia was going to shout at him again, but her father said, "Go to your room Jia, NOW". Mr. Zak's voice became loud at the last word. Jia glared at Noah as she stomped her feet and went to her room.

Now there was no use of staying here. Noah put down his fork and knife and elegantly wiped his mouth with a napkin. "The food was not delicious and I am in no mood to eat more." He stood up and turned back to look at the still stunned Carissa, "Are you coming or not?"

She came back to reality and ran to follow him. People at Zak's residence did not have anything to say. Even though Noah is a son of Mr. Zak's friend but still they cannot be offended unless they want to be kicked out of the country and want to lose their hard earned fortune within minutes.

Carissa followed him to his car. As soon as she entered the car, Carissa burst into laughter which she was holding. She laughed so hard that her eyes became teary. Noah looked at her lovingly. If he knew she would be so happy, he would have done more. He regretted being lenient at the moment.

"Hey Panther, you are way too cunning. I have never seen a person as evil as you before". She paused to laugh again, "Now I can understand why people say that you can kill a person with your eyes. You should have seen Jia, it was so satisfying". Carissa was looking excited.

"I did nothing. I just poured some juice". He replied nonchalantly.

She wanted to praise him for his action. He did daring things and on the top at their home. This is why people are dying to get more power. So, they could do what they want without restraining themselves back. "Hey don't be humble. You did what I always wanted to do". She was pouting.

"Then you should have told me earlier. I would have let you do it".

Her face instantly fell, "I don't want to get killed".

He held her from her waist to move her closer, "You can do what you feel like. If anyone will dare to lay a finger on you, I will make them hate their lives. Killing you is beyond their imagination". There was sincerity and determination in his eyes.

Carissa looked up to meet his eyes. Even though it was nothing romantic but there was a tingling sensation in her stomach. He treats her so preciously that she has started to love her life, which she wanted to end before.

"Marry me, Carissa". His gaze was digging holes in her body. He said such a thing at such an unexpected moment.

Carissa ignored him and looked outside the window. How can she marry him when she has such a big flaw meanwhile he is perfect.

A deep voice came near her ear, "You know silence can be considered as YES". He raised an eyebrow.

"NO". Carissa shouted.

He remained quiet for some time, as he didn't want to force things on her, "Okay then I will ask you until you are ready". He paused, "My mom wants to meet you. I promised her to bring you this weekend".

Carissa also remembered her promise from the party. "Okay. I will go".

The rest of the drive was covered in complete silence.

Meanwhile, at Zak's residence, Jia came after taking a shower and started to shout, "Dad why were you quiet? That witch and demon were insulting your daughter and you were sitting there and watching the play".

"I cannot go against him". Mr. Zak felt sorry for her daughter but he was helpless.

Mrs. Zak said, "It is all Carissa's fault. Why did she bring him and ruin everything. I am telling you she is not up to something good. Arrange her on some date and get rid of her".

"Mom is right." Jia instantly agreed.

Carissa returned to her home. After taking a shower she was lying on her bed and randomly scrolling on her phone, suddenly she heard a loud banging on the door. She got up to see who came at this time. The loud knocks made her insecure. She first turned on the camera of the intercom. As soon as the figure appeared she fell on the ground. The security in her house is too uptight. It is not easy to enter but still at that moment all of her senses gave up.

She crawled back to her room and locked the door. The continued voices from outside were making her more scared.

"Open the door, Carissa. Or I will kick it open". She heard him saying.

With her trembling hands, Carissa picks up her phone. She dialed a number. On the other hand no one was picking up.

"Please pick up". She murmured to herself.

Carissa continued to dial the number but there was no response. Noah was taking a shower. His phone was continually ringing. He frowned. He thought it must be his mom. She always calls him until he doesn't end up picking it up. He hurried things up and came outside with a towel wrapped against his waist, his eight abs were perfectly revealed and his honey skin was dripping with water making him more hot and sexy.

The phone had stopped ringing now. He went through the call list to see the impatient caller. Looking at the number shining on his screen he became worried. Within the next second he dialed the number.

Carissa attended the call on the first bell. She did not give him the chance to speak, "Noah, please save me". She was crying and he could hear some banging sounds on the door.

He was now worried out of his wits. If something happened to her he will never be able to forgive himself. He calmed himself, "Carissa relaxed. I am coming. Don't hang up. Okay".

"Okay. Please hurry up".

Noah dressed up in a comfortable pair of tracksuit. And literally ran outside. He can hear her crying. It was making him angry as his eyes turned colder than Antarctica.
