Carissa's apartment was at the drive of 15 minutes away from Noah house. He tried his best to get her an apartment near to the house he is living in. He drove so fast that he covered the 15 minutes distance in 5 minutes.

He ran towards the apartment and saw Dylan. He was worried but now he was angry too. His blood boiled. If he will kill someone at this spot it won't be a surprise. Today he was not going to leave this human trash. Dylan was drunk. He was reeking of a strong alcoholic smell. Noah tensed up and the veins from his forehead were bulging out. He held Dylan by his collar and punched him so hard that his mouth started to bleed. Dylan was not in his senses. Alcohol had made him numb. Noah was not in his senses because of the fury and wrath. He wanted to set everything on fire. Dylan forced his eyes open, and saw a blurry image of Noah. His eyes were losing focus. Dylan held his sleeve to keep himself balanced and tried to fight back. He punched Noah but Noah was quick in his reflexes he immediately dodged his attack.


"You bastard, how dare you……." Noah shouted, making a muscular man scared. As he bombarded his face with powerful punches. Dylan's grip on his shirt started to loosen. He continued to attack him ruthlessly. Dylan was more like a punching bag. He was venting out all of the anger on him. Noah made him half dead. When his nerves started to calm down

he remembered the afraid Carissa. He threw Dylan aside, and asked her to open the door on the phone.

"Carissa it's me. Open it". He soothed her, making his voice gentle.


Carissa carefully unlocked the door of her room to see the situation outside. She saw Noah through the intercom and immediately opened the door. Noah hugged her to stop her from seeing Dylan. His unconscious body was laying in front of her apartment. Carissa hugged him tightly that he felt uncomfortable to breath but he let her do it. Her grip around his body continued to grow stronger.

"Its okay. Nothing happened. I am here". He was petting her head.


"I…. I was…… afraid." She was crying her eyes out.

"I am here you don't have to be afraid". He was soothing the tsunami of emotion she was facing. He cannot exactly understand what she is going through. But there is one thing for sure, all of her wounds that he tried to heal with huge difficulty were scratched once again.

When Carissa calmed down, "Carissa can you wait 2 minutes?" he asked her gently.

Carissa looked at him with her swollen eyes and nodded. Before leaving he kissed her forehead.

Noah came outside and kicked the unconscious Dylan as he made a call. "Come, and clean the mess here". He ordered the man on the receiving end of the phone.

He stayed with Carissa for almost 5 minutes then he again got a call. "Boss all cleared." The person on the other side was already done with the given task. Noah hung up.

His team is highly trained and they are the best in the world. Their skills are top notch. As he keeps a low profile so the bodyguards don't follow him closely, but they are always with him and protecting him from far. If there is anything Noah can help with, or encounter any dangerous situation, they can help and protect him within minutes, before the other party can cause him any harm.

He laid on the bed and pulled her towards him. Her head fell on his chest, he wrapped his hand around her body. "Forget about everything and sleep. I am here".

How can she sleep in this situation? The most horrible part of her life was hunting her again. But whatever it is, now she has complete trust in him. She has started to rely on him. Whenever she feels scared or in a bad situation, the first person that comes to her mind is Noah. Carissa was amazed at herself too. How she lived in the past astonished her now.

His warm chest and wildly beating heart started to calm her senses. Carissa also wrapped her hand around his abs. Noah looked at her from above in surprise because this is the first time she has initiated any physical contact with him.

Noah turned towards her and lowered his head to capture her soft lips and to his surprise for the first time Carissa was responding to his kiss. Noah never forced her to do this before. Carissa willingly kissed him back. She was kissing him like a kid. There was no rhythm but Carissa felt his lips curling up into a smile. Noah was even enjoying her inexperienced action and he found it very cute. He had the urge to engulf her but Noah controlled himself. He does not want to harm her at any cost. He never kisses her intensely, she can feel the purity in his intimacy. Just a simple kiss was changing her whole world. The foggy clouds in her mind were fading away.

Instead of releasing her, he did not let go of her bottom lip. He spoke with her lip still between his white teeth. "You are really bad at it". He did not slip a moment to tease her.

Carissa frowned as some lines on her forehead appeared. "Leave me". His warm breath was making her wild.

He bit her a little more before releasing. She whimpers in pain. Carissa placed her hand on her mouth as she complained, "why do you always bite me?"

Noah smiled while placing his hand under his head "Guess on you own".

"Bastard".

"My pleasure." He smiled, "Sleep".

Carissa brushed all of her thoughts aside and drifted to sleep. Noah kissed her forehead lightly as he slept with her too.

Next day in the office,

Carissa went for lunch when Aaron came. "Sir how do you want to handle him?"

His fingers halted as he looked at Aaron, "Let's go to meet him". He took his coat from the coat hanger. Aaron was explaining to him the situation, "His company went bankrupt last night and the evidence of embezzlement has also been revealed. Police are also trying to find him."

"keep the police away from this matter". He ordered.

After the drive of 30 minutes the car stopped at a warehouse. The area was so mysterious that beside them no one was in sight. Even if someone tries to come here they cannot. Noah even removed it from the GPS. Even though he is a businessman, but his connections with the underground world are not simple at all.

Aaron pushed the large and heavy iron door and it opened with a sound of creak. Inside it was totally dark. Some sun rays were coming inside through a very small ventilator. Aaron turned on the lights for him.

A very disgusting figure came into his sight. His dark eyes were shooting daggers at him. Dylan also glared in response. Noah kicked him with his right feet on his face. A bone cracking sound was heard and Dylan fell on the ground with a thud.

Noah shouted, "HOW DARE YOU GLARE AT ME?" His voice was very loud and it echoed in the warehouse leaving a chilling vibes. The leader of the mafia was standing behind. He shivered at his voice. In his career of 30years in the underground world Noah is the first one that he has seen that can kill a person by his presence. The rumors were totally right instead it was more terrifying as he was experiencing it personally.

Noah placed his foot on his ankle and applied a pressure, another bone cracked. Dylan shouted in pain. "I will make you cripple, so you never be able to stand up again." He extended his hand towards the leader of the gang and he respectfully gave him a gold plated gun. Noah first pointed it at his head, he saw Dylan forehead getting sweaty. "So, now are you afraid?" Noah asked with a raised eyebrow, his voice was cold and chilling.

Dylan trembled. He knew if he would die here, there would be no traces of him. His voice was shivering, "I… I…. am.. sorry. It will never….. happen again".

"Again?" Noah smirked, "It is not in my dictionary."

Dylan asked, "What do you want?"

"I want to make your life a living hell. You will want to die every day and I won't let you".

"Let… me go".

Noah looked amused, "You want to go?" Noah looked at Aaron, "He wants to go, so let's continue". Without looking at Dylan Noah's index finger pulled the trigger and the bullet perfectly pierced his thigh. The red metallic liquid started oozing out of his body.

"Make him living dead". He ordered the gang leader. The leader immediately bowed at him. Noah threw the pistol at him and walked out gracefully leaving the shouting and begging Dylan behind.
