Noah that very minute missed the touch, the feeling of being in contact with her lips, softest texture he ever felt over his lips and wanted to properly kiss her, nib her lips in between his teeth, feel her soft lips over his' for the second time, feel every corner of her mouth with his tongue.
The man who never was a fan of kiss, is craving it like some man in thirst craves for water, but just from single being, Sophia.
But this is all what 'he' wishes for, as for Sophia she was not even ready to accept him let alone kiss him. This is all what happened was just her flow with the moment and not her wish. If he wishes to kiss her or proceed any further he will have to force himself on her, which he can't as he never had. Or could he? What if this flickering spark, that she had lightened in his heart that is taking over his mind, disabling his power to think straight or take correct adjudication, leads him to put the squeeze on himself to do something wrong? With no return.
He never felt like so desperate over something, to do any such things and more specifically he is not devotee of such things but her rejections, her innocence or wholesomeness is pushing him more and more towards being sinful and snatch every last drop of her immaculateness and get every right over her, claim her in every other way possible.
Controlling his urges to pounce over her and have his way with her, he stood up straight from her bed and cleared his throat, resulting her to promptly turn her head back to him. But as soon as her hazel eyes met his silvery full of sins, unrighteous eyes, she felt an urge to hide herself from his intense penetrating sharp gaze that were as if drilling a hole over her heart, the look he gave her when they met for the first time at the flower shop.
Noah at the same time when locked his gaze with her's innocent, taintless pure eyes, felt as if some monster is taking control over his mind giving rise to waking up the beast in him to lash out and do unrightful, unholy acts.
At an instance, Sophia turned her eyes from him, not able to maintain eye contact after what just happened but, Noah as if sold his shame, kept on feasting his eyes with her blushed profile. After few minutes passed, Noah let out a loud long breath to control himself and closed his eyes to cool them down and spoke "I should get going. If you feel hungry there is more porridge in container, have it, but slowly and in less amount because you had stomach empty for a longer period of time and no need to have medicine, after 30 minutes or so a attender will come to remove your IV and deliver the medicmes prescribed to you. You have to have them for tomorrow's morning.
Sophia nodded her head feeling her throat dry, not able to say anything and not turning her head to face him. Noah spoke again gazing at her head "I'll send Stefan with meal for you and please start having healthy one and stop with these non nutritious diet. Will you?"
Noah again received a node from her, he spoke again "Don't go to gallery and café, I had asked for a day off on your behalf."
This time she turned her head to give him respond other that just nodding her head, but kept her gaze down, not finding enough dauntlessness to meet his eyes and spoke "Thank you Sir for everything you did."
Suddenly her gaze went to his bruised knuckles and lifting her eyes along with frowned brows meet his sea cool eyes and spoke "Sir, what happened to your hand?"
Noah lifted his hand to see what she is bespeaking to with furrow between his eyes and found bruises. He chuckled remembering what he did few hours ago and spoke "Nothing, brought someone's brain to the right place."
3 Hours Ago:
"What have caused her this condition?"
Noah asked in a heavy dark voice sitting royally on a chair placed beside Sophia's bed, where she was laying lifeless, unconsciously.
33
Hearing him doctor, who is also one of his friend 'Edger' turned his face towards Noah and informed him. Stefan originally planned to get other doctor, best one as instructed by Noah but at the end of the day, he went for Edger, as he was well aware of Noah's anger issues and also the best one.
"Not sure, only will come to know once I'll have her case history. I'll have to talk her."
They both shared a look and after sometimes Edger spoke again "But taking her condition into regard, the baggy swells around her eyes and her lean frame, one can form an opinion that she is not on proper diet nor does she had proper rest."
"But the swells around her eyes were not there before, I have got glimpse of it today for the first time."
Noah answered Edger non-chantilly, looking at Sophia's sleeping figure and this fountainhead Edger to catch the attention.
"Hmm, so you have been observing this beautiful maiden for quite a time now?"
Noah turned to face Edger who spoke again "Is she the lucky girl, who is now the talk of the town? For whom Noah Taylor had fallen hard?"
Noah's looks turned to hawk's gaze and he roared like an angry beast.
"I have not fallen for anyone. Just a fling she is and no more than that. Have I made myself clear enough or you need some more clarifications?"
Edger let out a laugh and said "Stop growling like an animal, I know a beast like you can never fall in love and above all you don't deserve a pure angel like her."
Saying so Edger got busy on tracking down her veins so as to inject IV and Noah kept on staring at him.
"I don't deserve her?"
Edger nodded his head absentmindedly without lifting his eyes towards Noah, still busy with his work.
"Than whom does she deserves? Joseph that son of a bitch, that bloody bastard?" "Huh?" Edger lifted his head to see at his direction, not able to acknowledge what he is saying or what he is angry for.
Noah again opened his thin lips to speak "You said she's stressed over something?"
"Yeah but these all are mine presumptions based on my scrutinization. Nothing is corroborate unless I have talk with her." Edger spoke straightening himself and after have explained everything to Noah got back to his work.
"Edger, my friend." Noah Spoke getting up from the chair.
"Oh my God! What do you need?" Edger replied in complete state of shock.
"I need your help. I can't trust anybody, not a single soul can be trusted in case of Sophia, not even Stefan."
Laughing out loud Edger spoke "Spinner of yarns, such a good liar but, your bad I have known you for so many years now. Let it out, what do you need?"
"Will you be here for sometimes, only to supervise her and if she wakes up tell her I'll
be here any minute. Nothing else." Noah demanded shamelessly.
"No problem, but get back soon I have commitment with Mary."
"I'll, don't worry."
As soon as Noah reached door and unlocked it to go out he heard from behind "So, this is how you treat a fling? Preparing a guard for her and be by her side as soon as possible or whenever she needs you?"
Noah turned back hearing him and kept on looking at Edger who was busy with injecting analgesics in Sophia's cannula.
"Yeah, she is just a fling."
And saying so he turned back and spoke again "I'll be back soon."
Edger shook his head in disbelief at the condition of his friend who is not ready to listen to his heart or to anybody else.
Noah walked out of the building and walked around the dark street looking at every single building present there. Finally he found what he had been searching for in one of the buildings. He entered it immediately and went straight to the guard's room where guard was busy playing in his mobile.
"Hey! I want to check you CCTV footages for yesterday's night around 9 P.M."
Without lifting his head from cell phone, guard replied still playing in his phone "I can't let just anybody to have it, first go and ask the owner of the build-" Before he could complete himself Noah had his hands over guard's collar and lifted him with a jerk causing him to front on to Noah's devil face, tightening his collar around his neck.
"S-sir, you can't show violence here." Stammering guard said with difficulty and fear.
Taking few bucks from his pants pocket, Noah threw it in guard's face and spoke in a low thunderous voice "Now will you show me the footage or shall I show you hell?" "I-I'll sir. If you let me go I'll be able to show them to you."
Giving a last, hardest glare to him Noah let his shirt's collar free with a jerk causing him to stumble back.
Getting free the first thing guard did was sit on the chair and immediately rummage through some files in the computer, present in front of him in his desk.
"Sir what time did you mentioned?" Guard asked in his trembling voice, filled with fear
of what next this mysterious man might do.

"9 at night." Noah roared.
After some more time he found the footage and showed it to him.
"Increase the speed to 5xâ Noah said with eyes glued to computer's screen.
"Yes sir."
When screen showed footage of 9:13 P.M., Noah finally spotted Sophia running at a
fast pace and followed by a man whose face was not clear because of the darkness but
by looking at his frame, Noah depicted him to be Joseph.
But nothing happened as far as camera coverage range and they passed by.
"Do you have camera installed for any other angle? Where I can see both of them."
"Yes sir, one camera is installed on the other end of the building."
And he showed him further footage of the same time.
Noah looked at the video and his eyes twitched looking at what Joseph was doing to Sophia. How he turned her with a jerk and kept her caged in his arms and how he stumbled back in drunk state of his' and how said something to Sophia which lead him to get slapped by her. Looking at it all, Noah's blood boiled, ready to kill Joseph for his deeds.
Getting straightened, he walked out of the guard's room, without saying a word to guard and gave a call to Stefan. As soon as the call was received by the other end Noah spoke without waiting for him to greet.
"Joseph, waiter at Artisan Coopers Tea Room, get his location and also don't let him know that someone is searching for him."
Without waiting for Stefan's reply, Noah hanged up the call, leaned in one of the pillars
in building's basement and taking out a cigarette and lighter from his pocket he
smoked standing there, waiting for Stefan to get his location.
After six to seven minutes passed to his call with Stefan, his phone buzzed in his pocket and Noah letting the remaining cigarette between his long fingers fall on the ground, crumpled under his shoes and received his call.
"Hmm. "
"Sir, I have sent you his location on your phone." Stefan replied immediately.
"Is he in some crowded location?" Noah asked in dark voice.
"No sir, he is in a local bar drinking with his friends, where only few people are
present"
"Get him in my club room number five O'seven, near Holt." Noah was about to hang
the call when on again hearing Stefan's voice, brought the phone near his ear.
"Sir I would like to give a piece of information I found about him."
"Hmm."
"Sir, his father is also a business man -"
"Much more influential then me?" Noah asked in a low growl.
"No sir, but you both share same field." Stefan replied hesitantly. "Thanks for your concern. Now meet me at Holt bar 507. Clear?" "Sir."

After 20 minutes or so Joseph was struggling to get out of the clutches of some tall
dark muscular men, to set himself free. His drunk state was long gone and was sober
by now.
One of the man opened some room's door and threw Joseph in and locked the door from outside.
Joseph got up from the ground and banged loudly over the door screaming "Let me out. If my father come's to know he won't let any of you go."
"And will he do anything when he will become aware of the fact how you mishandled a
poor girl?" Joseph in fright state turned his head to find a man enveloped with darkness, whose
silhouette he was able to make, smoking cigarette, spreading himself and his long legs in a chair.
"Noah?"
Joseph spoke trembling while Noah got up from the chair and walked in a slow pace in long strides towards Joseph and spoke again "Will he let you go?"
By the time Noah reached Joseph he was trembling like a leaf and Noah roared loudly "How dare you touch her?"
And with that a hard punch landed on Joseph's jaw and stumbling he fell on ground. Joseph started to laugh out loud and said "So I was correct. She have turned to your
slut after rejecting me. Is she sleeping with you? And does she tittle-tattle about me to
you?"
This boiled Noah's blood and picking him up he beat him again saying "Who do you
think you are to touch her in that way? Even if she did slept with me, what it have got to do with you?"
Again landing a punch over him Noah spoke "I'll beat crap out of you. I'll write with
my own hands on your brain whom does she belongs to and who deserves her. I deserve her I. It's just and just me."
Joseph laid there on ground with bruises all over his face and breathing heavily. Noah getting up from ground called Stefan in. When he came in he saw what Noah had already done, not believing his eyes as it was not the first time that Noah had beat
someone so badly but he usually didn't preferred to dirty his hand.
"Sir?"
With that Stefan sat beside Joseph trying to pick him up when he heard a dark voice echoing around the room "Take him to the hospital and when he gets well inform me."
"Yes sir." Getting help from others, Stefan took Joseph out of the room in his way to the hospital. When everyone was gone Noah loudly banged his hand growling "I do deserve her. She belongs to me. Mine to look. Mine to touch."
Present:
"Huh?" Sophia asked Noah not understanding what he said.
Noah patted Sophia's head while speaking "Nothing to be known by you. I'll be going.
Take care and have rest."
Picking his laptop from the side table, Noah was going out when he noticed Sophia
also getting out of the bed with her IV drip's stand that was attached with wheels.
"Where do you think you are going to?"
"Sir to lock the door." Sophia replied innocently.
"No need I have had installed biometric lock that will get locked automatically and will
be unlocked with your cornea." Noah replied sternly.
Sophia kept on staring at him and spoke "Sir how much does it cost?"
Noah letting out a laugh spoke "You will pay me back?" To which Sophia just nodded
her head.
"Don't worry I'll cut it from what you earn after sculpting for me. Now rest."
Saying so Noah walked out of room and Sophia heard door getting locked. She immediately lay on the bed feeling her cheeks warm up thinking about the moment they shared just few minutes ago.
