Bound to Lust

Price For Happiness

All they saw was that one blinding light headed towards them then nothing. It was suddenly dark, completely dark and excruciatingly silent.

Rewind <<<< 2 months back

"Oh heavens!" Rosa exclaimed bringing her hand to her heart listening in horror to the story Noah was recounting. How could a mother do that to an innocent child, her grandchild.. She shook her head and stumbled back into the couch behind her. Adeline rushed to aid her but she put up her hand. "I'm fine, just a little  shocked that's all. But why, how could she do that to her own child, your child"

"About that..." Noah begun slowly watching the confusion spread across her face. "The baby she was carrying wasn't mine"

"What!" the two women cried in unison.

"She has been cheating on me."

"Wow! how long" Adeline asked surprised because she couldn't really say she was shocked.

"About a year"

"With who?" Rosa interjected

"Eddie"

"Your Eddie?" He nodded and huffed. Talking about Eddie's betrayal hurt but not as much as when he first found out. Rosa entered into a rant about how disappointed she was in Eddie and Melanie but she was soon interrupted by Noah's phone.

"It's the hospital" he informed and answered. After a series of nodding and such, he hung up and grabbed his jacket. "Mel's awake, I need to go."

"Ok, but don't do anything stupid. I know you're mad but..."

"Don't worry, grams." he leaned over and kissed both her and Adeline's cheek then walked out. The drive to the hospital felt like the longest one yet. As he walked to her room, he saw a pregnant woman being sent to a room screaming and her frantic husband trying to calm her. Right then, the anger he had been trying to suppress reared its ugly head. He had missed this stage of Benjie's life and when he felt God had given him a second chance of being there for his kid, she took it away from him. All for what, petty jealousy. Suddenly he felt he couldn't do it, he couldn't face her and not feel like strangling her so he sat outside on the bench close to her door trying to calm down but it wasn't working. The clicking of heels against the floor caused him to look up and scoff, coming towards him with the deepest scowl ever was Eleanor, Mel's mum.

"It's all your fault!" she begun angrily."You almost killed my daughter, you good for nothing brat. It's all your fault." Out of nowhere she slapped him causing a few gasps from bystanders. He rubbed his reddened cheek and clenched his jaw.Not wanting to draw anymore attention to themselves, he grabbed her arm and pulled her into Melanie's room. She sat up in surprise at the sight of her mum and her husband and they didn't look happy.

"Noah!...Mum!..." she exclaimed looking confused between the two.

"Oh honey, are you okay?" Eleanor half sobbed as she rushed over to her.

"Yes, I'm fine" Noah looked at the two feeling disgusted. They were indeed mother and daughter."Noah..."

"You should thank God she's fine..."

"Mum! Please leave us for a minute"

"Honey..."

"Please mum!" She scoffed and walked out.

"Noah, I'm...I was so devastated when I recieved the divorce papers you'd already signed. I'd rather die than lose you.I love you very much, can't you see that? Besides I'm not gonna lose so easily to that wench. Never!"

"You lost the baby" he stated calmly despite the burning rage inside of him.

"I know but we could have another one. It'll be perfect, I swear. We can work it out"

"We...can work it out? Huh...you're pathetic, Melanie, you know that! What exactly do we work out? Your cheating or murder. Maybe your cheating I could forgive but to kill that innocent baby...ugh I'm disgusted. You're a sick and for that I'm sincerely sorry. I'm sorry I couldn't realise the mistake I made. I'm sorry I wasted three years of my son's life for you and most of all I'm sorry I met you. You don't need to worry about the divorce papers, it's already been finalised. Thanks mostly to you and your stupid stunt, we're no more married. You can keep the house and everything else I got you. Twenty million pounds will be paid into your account by noon and don't worry, unlike you, no one's going to air your dirty laundry but try anything stupid and I won't hesitate to give you a taste of your own medicine..."

"Please, Noah. I was stupid, yes but I did it for us. She's using you, can't you see?"At this point she was sobbing loudly putting on a desperate, pitiful look but that hardly moved him. It just annoyed him the more. He was done with her indefinitely. This chapter of his life had finally ended and he couldn't be any more happier.

"I suggest you save your theatrics for someone else. Have a nice life..." he smirked and turned to leave but stopped short abruptly looking at Melanie's broken phone beside him He turned back to look at her and almost laughed at the anger on her face. She looked terrible.

"You know what, screw you, Noah. You think you're the only righteous one here. Eddie was right, you are a fucking prick and there's no way, I'm gonna make this easy for you so you have a nice life while it lasts..." He chuckled and walked out as she continued sobbing. Ignoring the stares, whispers and Eleanor's insults, he walked on to the entrance where a bunch of reporters were waiting. They jumped into action as soon as they saw him, cameras flashing here and there and questions hurled out in hopes of being answered but he ignored them all, got into his car and drove off in a rush. Getting home in probably a record time, he rushed inside and went up the stairs to Adeline's room. He could hear her humming in the shower but he couldn't wait. He took off all his clothes and walked into the shower as well. She still looked amazing just as he remembered. He grinned at the memory and it seemed his good friend down there did too. He touched her arms and she shuddered finally registering his presence.

"Noah? What..." she asked softly trying to turn to face him but he held her still.

"Shhh... don't say anything. Just listen" he begun kissing her neck causing her to lean into him. That move was just ice breaking but he'd waited too long to end this in a giffy. He was going to take his sweet time and savour it." Marry me"

"What..." this time she was able to turn to face him but couldn't get any more words out as he had claimed her lips roughly.

"Marry me" he repeated when he pulled back to continue trailing kisses up her jaw and down her neck. She was currently at loss for words and the only response she could give was a very inviting moan. He pulled back again and chuckled watching her eyes cloud over with desire as the water poured down on them

"Noah, what're we doing?" her voice sounded very husky even with the sound of the running water fueling his urge even more. Oh the things he was going to do to her!

"We, love, are finishing what we started..." he kissed her hard again and this time there was no stopping them down the road they were treading...
