In the morning, Noah did not wear formal attire like he wore to the office. Carissa was ready for the office, she glanced at her husband which did not look like he was going to the work.

"What happened? Are you not going to the office?" She asked him.


"I am sorry, I was busy last night and could not tell you, I am going to a village for a site inspection, I will be late".

"Really?" She was disappointed, but she should be understanding as it is his work. He worked so hard to get where he is today, as his wife it is her responsibility to support him.

She smiled brightly, "Have a good day". Carissa spoke while adjusting the collar of his coat. His heart this time did not beat fast at her beautiful smile instead he looked at her deeply to capture and save it in his mind. He was worried for her, worried that he is going to miss this smile, worried that she will break into pieces which will be hard to put back together once again. He was successful in getting her out of the dark, but now he is the one who is pushing her there.


Carissa was speaking non stop, but he could not understand what she was saying. It was like she was speaking in an alien language.

In a haste he pulled her in a hug, her hands remained in the air, "What-what are doing? Are you out of your mind?" Carissa could not know the meaning behind his action.


He hugged her so tightly squeezing the life out of her body. Carissa tapped on his shoulder, as a gesture to show she is going breathless.

"Noah….I can…can't breath".

His grip loosened a bit, "I am sorry".

Carissa laughed, "Are you missing me already?"

"Hmm". He hummed in response. In fact he was really missing her already.

"Noah, I am getting late". She reminds him.

"Let's go. I will drop you".

On their way, the atmosphere was completely filled with silence. He was holding her hand tightly. Carissa glanced at him from the corner of her grey eyes, then the pair of hands that were getting sweaty.

Why was he looking so restless today? Even in front of Carissa he rarely shows his emotions, today his dark eyes were somewhat different, and what was making them strange….. the answer still needs to be found out.

The car halted at the Zak real estates.

"Noah". She moved her hand little. Noah looked outside, and released her hand.

"Are you okay?" She looked concerned and worried about him.

"Hmm. Just a little stressed out due to work". He made an excuse.

"So, I am watching a top business tycoon being nervous."

"I am a human. I have feelings too.' He paused, "And you are the one who told me to share everything with you. I am doing it right now".

She smiled, and hugged his arm, "Don't worry. You will do well. I am proud of you".

Noah raised an eyebrow and gave a mischievous smile, this smile does not give her good vibes as she always becomes a prey of Panther after this.

Noah tapped on his lips, "Then wifey, give some strength".

She knew it… damn it she knew, she imagined what was coming ahead. Carissa closed her eyes and gave him a quick peck on his thin pink lips.

He was satisfied. Even getting this much from her is a hard job. If Noah will show disappointment, then there is a chance that in the future he will not be able to get this much from her in the future.

"Have a good day." She wished him and got out of the car.

Noah called Aaron and told him an address, after sometime the car stopped at the destination and Aaron settled on the front seat. "Good morning, sir". Aaron said.

Noah signalled the driver and the driver accelerated the car.

After the drive of 4-5 hours, in a remote and deserted mountain, located far from the city came in the view

There was a tree house on the mountain, Aaron pointed at the house, and "This is the address".

Noah nodded and glanced at the surrounding, and opened the door and went towards the tree house. Aaron was following him. Aaron knocked on the door, but no one was opening it.

"What the hell"... Noah said.

"Sir, James Wilson is inside. I hired some people to follow him from the day you got to know about him".

Noah kicked the door so hard that it was about to break. The man from inside shouted, "Who the fu*k is out there? I will kill you." A middle aged man, with a little wrinkly face and a slightly dark skin came in the view. Just from a single glance it was clear that he is a total alcoholic. Such people can do anything for money, alcohol and drugs.

Aaron spoke before Noah could kill him, after all he cursed the mighty man, and "we are here to give you some work. The amount will be according to your choice".

The eyes of James Wilson shined at the thought of money. "Come inside".

They entered the house, and the man appeared to be guilty for his rude manners, "I am sorry for being rude earlier".

Noah ignored him and came to the point, he signalled Aaron and from the envelope he took out a picture and placed it on the table in front of James Wilson.

With happiness, James grabbed the picture and looked at it. In the next second James went pale, his hands tremble, the colours of his lips turned white.

Noah observed all the changes on his face and he smirked.
