Chapter 10

Noah   

I fell asleep while cuddling Selena all night, I was grateful for her for saving my hotel, but that wasn't the main reason that made me hug her all night. Not even her tears, somehow her tears stressed me more.

But it was all about me; I needed her to hug so much. Which was so weird for me; it was different and new feelings for me. Maybe not because I like her or I need her in my life. Perhaps because my personality is exactly like her, a monster from the surface but inside me, I am that fragile person who wants to cry heavily. Still, the difference between her and me is that I do not cry even if I was alone.

My tears are so precious to me, and I stayed all night watching her sleeping like an angel until I fell asleep from the comfortable feeling, warm body, soft skin, and pure heart that can be touched and seen clearly through her glamorous eyes.

But I didn't think that would happen. I woke up late to find myself alone in bed, and she wasn't there. I quivered, searching by my eyes everywhere around me but part of me was sure that she was gone this time.

I spotted a tied paper next to me in bed, sure it was from her. I opened the paper to hesitate; I didn't expect to be in such horrible pain while reading it.  Dear Noah, sorry, but I left my country and my parents to reach my target. I can't waste my time anymore. I can't be selfish. I couldn't let myself fall in love with you. But let fate ride our ways; if we are meant to be together and meet each other again, let it be. But for now, I can't stay anymore. Thank you for our time and your care and your room.

I placed my hand on my heart, drumming rapidly, I felt as if my heart was stabbed with a knife. I don't know if I fell for her or not. But I know her words left me panicked. Maybe I am worried about her, perhaps I'm curious. Perhaps I didn't get enough of her yet. But I know that I wasn't angry because she was the one who broke up with me.

I stayed in bed thinking about how I could reach her again, but I couldn't believe it wisely about anything. I was just speechless; I stood up to go to the bathroom to take a cold shower to relax my mind that was bewildered by her.

After the shower, I decided to move on, ' I'm not going to die without her, that was just a one-night stand.' I repeated those words in my mind several times to control my anger and stop wasting my time on nothing.

But from this moment, everything that happened was just bringing her face back to my eyes as if she was in front of me. I don't know if this was coincidence or our destiny meant to be together.

I wore my suit, handled myself in the mirror, but I spotted her g string on the floor. I guess she forgot about it when she was in a hurry. I grabbed it, smiled when I remembered our night together, and decided to put it in my pocket. Maybe I was an idiot when I did that. But I just did it without thinking.

I strode out of the room, and my guards were waiting for me. "sir,"

I furrowed my eyebrows, "yes."I wasn't in a good mood to talk about anything, but I know that what happened last night in the hotel won't just pass easily.

"Some ministers and FBI are here waiting for you, checking every inch of the hotel and checking the cams and videotape records," he informed me.

I just nod and hastened downstairs. I hate when someone decides to be in charge without taking my permission, even if he was a minister of shit.

I stormed into my office to find a lot of men inside. I slammed the door and hollered, "what the f'ck is going on here?!"

The prime minister blurted out, "we are here for help. We wanted to know what happened exactly, we didn't want it to happen again, sir."

I raised my brows, "sir! Well, that's good you still remember who I am, "I smirked.

He coughed and headed down, trembling, "sir, sorry."

I gestured to all of them to "get out now!"I said boldly in a calm voice.

"But sir! What if." one of the FBI officers was trying to explain to me. But I widened my eyes and groaned, "you did nothing last night! Selena saved all of us!"

I slammed the door after kicking all of them and locked it; I sat in my chair, trying to get her out of my mind. Last night was scrolling in front of my eyes like a movie.

But I remembered something, there must be some pictures of her from the conference!

I called the manager to come immediately to my office.

"I need all the pictures that were taken last night!" I commanded him; he left and came back after a few minutes with too many. I snatched the pictures and motioned to him to get out.

I searched for her until I found one picture, all it came to my mind at the beginning, I was using this picture to find her by investigators or detectives or even gangs.

But it didn't come to my mind that she might be with Steven! I totally forgot about him. I found both of her and Steven in a picture. That's why I called Gerard Steven's father to meet him.

But it didn't come to my mind that she might be with Steven! But I couldn't find an answer except I want her badly.
