Family Affairs

It's been 24 hours since he left the Huntsville. Tapping his fingers on the label of the file that says Sydney Brown, he was thinking a million things in a second. No matter how he look at this, redhead girl's life was way more complex than his. And after knowing that her fiance is some 49 years old and also the person who was accused of her assault he was beyond shocked.

He couldn't forget her eyes. The way she shivered all the time like something bad is gonna happen. He couldn't help but think if she is safe right now or not. Only if he was his old self he might not take a single second and let his anger burn everything in that town as he protects that small angel right away. But things were changed now. He has been hating women all so long that accepting someone as his like normal people was not something he was able to do. But somehow he was convinced that redhead was not like other women because it was after so long that his heart ached for someone and he knew it was not about lust entirely. Because she was nothing like he wants his women to look like but still he yearns for her.

Redhead was also the reason that for the last two days he has not been thinking about his tragically failed romance of the past. He still couldn't decide what he will do with redhead but he was sure about one thing that he will get her out of that hell hole without causing much commotion. Once she will be with him he will have all the time in the world to figure out what he really wants. But one thing was decided that no one else was ever gonna hurt her if it's not him. Thinking this he made a call to someone who he could trust and gave him orders to make sure to have his eyes there to know if she is safe or not.

The knock on the door made him come back to reality. "Come in." He gave permission. "Sir, the delegation is in the conference room." His secretary informed him.

He was making his way through the long glassy hallways. At his left, a beautiful skyline showing skyscrapers of San Franciso was adorning the view that he never cared to notice. Instead, he was focused on the balance sheets on his tab. Though he tried his best not to think about her, still an evil thought echoed.

Even if you decide to take her as yours and things go down south you can tell yourself that her life was already not good.

Everything in the meeting goes as planned. He was scheduled to leave for the Sacramento in an hour as Miller Enterprise had their headquarters there. He knew everything will go strictly following the time scheduled and he will be the sole owner in the next 36 hours. And this is exactly how everything went. After 48 hours he was attending a very high profile party having guests not more than 70 people. Rich and most powerful people or their representatives gathered under the same roof to welcome the new owner of Miller Enterprise. It included Russia's richest to the Sheikhs of Arab.

Noah's date was a beautiful Blonde with blue eyes having the height that she reached his shoulders and her smile was so beautiful that it could light up the whole city. He plastered a warm smile on his face all the time. He shook hands more than he did in his last 10 years of life. He did notice that his dearest cousin was not around. He got what a man can ever dream but in his heart, there was a tug. And it was that small face with freckles around her nose. Those Auburn hairs and wild green eyes.

The moment that party came to an end he didn't leave and stayed in the dark hall. He even sent his date off with a smile and a peck on her cheek and stand at the dark terrace to look at the city lights. Taking a gulp on his vine he couldn't help but notice that he was above everything else. He will hardly come across someone more powerful than him. Miller Enterprise was involved in the production of everything. From artillery to the bathroom soap and had their manufacturing units all around the world. Never in his life, he would be told no to anything he asks for. But it still feels empty. It was always empty. He contained himself in the mountain of work and ran with the needle of the clock. And no matter how much he tried to drown himself in alcohol but no amount of drug was ever enough.
