Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Nicolas didnt really take Noelles words to heart.
The weird stuff she mentioned sounded more like swild daydreams pretty hard to believe After dinner, he drove her to the gates of the Anderson family villa.
Noelle jumped out of the car like it was nothing, then quickly spun around and slammed the door shit Her bright eyes were full of excitement as she looked at him.
Hey, Nick, when can we hang out again ! Nicolas had planned to use this meeting to shut down the rumors about the families potential marriage, but Noelle showing up threw that idea night out the window.
She looked all sweet and innocent, t, but there was this sharpness about her.
Being around her, though, was oddly fun.
He paused for a second, then looked up at her with a lazy grin, the kind that made her heart skip a beat. Whenever I have sfree time, Ill cfind you.
So whens that gonna be Noelle pressed, her voice sounding a linde impatient.
Nicolas shrugged, not in a rush.
Hand to say Noelle immediately pouted, clearly not liking that answer.
She felt like he was just giving her the brush off.
The way her lips stuck our and her checks puffed up just made her that much cuter Pif ... Nicolas couldnt help but laugh at how adorable she was.
He reached over and playfully pinched her soft cheek.
Got a phone? Yeah, Noelle replied cheerfully Giveyour number $ 198.
Noelle rattled it off like shed done it a million times.
Nicolas quickly pulled out his phone and typed it in Just as he did, her phone rang Thats my number.
Hitup if you need anything he said.
Okay Noelle nodded eagerly, her face lighting up with a huge smile.
Nick, Ill call you when I get a chance ! Nicolas couldnt help but chuckle to himself.
She seems to have all the tin the world.
He casually added, Dont calltoo much, though.
Just maybe once in a while, like in the evenings Sounds good! Noelle agreed without hesitation, clearly excited She bounced toward the villa, then stopped halfway y to turn around and wave her arm at Nicolas with a big grin.
See you, Nick! Watch your step.

I got it! Noelle shot back cheerfully, stretching her arms wide like a bird finally getting to fly free, chattering to herself as she skipped through the gates of the Anderson family villa.
She looked like a happy little ball of energy, full of optimism and totally carefree Nicolas waited until she disappeared out of sight before giving Bryan the nod to start the car.
On the drive, Bryan couldnt hold back his curiosity.
Sir, werent you planning on keeping your distance from the Andersons? Whyd you Anderson your number? Nicolas let out a small smirk, his lips curling up.
Shes... different, dont you think? Yeah Bryan hesitated, then said bluntly, Shes definitely one of a kind, but honestly? She comes off as kind of innocent? Nicolas didnt have an answer for that.
He couldnt really argue.
After a long pause, Nicolas suddenly let out a soft laugh.
He rested his chin in his hand, staring out the window as the scenery flew by His lips pulled into a sly grin. The Andersons arent exactly the nicest people.
I wonder how long shell last in that jungle, all alone.
Theyre probably gonna chew her up.
give Miss 9:23 AM c Chapter 5 Yeah, sounds about right.
Bryan replied.
In their minds.
Noelle seemed way too naive to fit in with that crowd.
Shed probably get destroyed in that family.
the Noelle strolled through the corridor leading to the villa, and in the distance, she spotted no seriou good looking guys leaning against th marble pillars outside, talking.
It was her fourth brother.
Damon, and her fifth brother, Eli She felt closer to Eli, so she immediately waved and shouted, Fli ! Eli ! Im back! The brothers both turned at the sound of her voice, Whoa El jumped when Noelle crumming at him.
Lately, hed been a bit wary of her she was just too familiar for comfort.
Damon, who had been standing nearby, gave the two of them a once over, a smirk playing on his lips.
Eli, you and this girl are real tight, huh! Shes all over you every tshe sees you .
Eli quickly shrugged it off.
Shes the one who wont leavealone.
Its got nothing to do with me.
Yeah, sure.
Damon sad with a cold baugh, his eyes gleaming with amusement.
Then tell me, who was the one practically dying to gossip about Nicolas Sawyers scandals when she said she was gonna marry him? Whos been waiting by the door like a damn puppy went quiet, his face going red.
He looked away, trying to play it off.
Damon, what the hell are you talking about! I dont get it.
Damon sneered, clearly enjoying Elis discomfort.
He gave a cold chuckle.
Sure you dont Noelle hurried toward Eli but was intercepted halfway by Damon.
Damons good looking face twisted with a bit of sarcasm.
Noelle, is it just Eli in your world! You see him, and totally forget about me, your fourth brother! Not even a hello? Noelle looked up at Damon, trying to smooth things over.
Hey, Dumon! I saw Eli first, so I went to say hi to him first.
I didnt mean to ignore you, I ne with No need to explain, Damon cur her off, his voice dripping makessick.
Without another word.
Damon turned and walked into the villa disdain.
From now on, dont bother greeting me.
Just hearing you callDamon Wait, Damon Eli didnt expect Damon to be this harsh toward Noelle .
While Eli didnt exactly go out of his way to be kind to her.
Damons coldness was on a whole other level.
Noelle lowered her gaze for a moment, then looked up at Eli .
Brother, I just figured something out.
What now? Eli shot her a side glance, mentally rolling his eyes.
This girls always up to something.
Noelle got serious, thinking it through.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDo you think Damon doesnt like me? You just realized that? Eli deadpanned .
The truth was, the whole Anderson family wasnt exactly thrilled about Noelles sudden return .
She was a threat to Leia, their golden girl.
Anyone who upset Leia was in trouble, and Noelles presence alone was enough to stir up tension Well, I guess I just have to try harder! Noelle clenched her fist, determination lighting up her face. Tim going to make Damon like me! Eli looked at her like shed lost her mind.
Youre really going to keep dreaming, huh? Hes not going to warm up to you that easily.
Out of all the brothers, Damon was the one who spoiled Leia the most, Getting him to accept Noelle as a sister was as likely as winning the lottery.
I can do it! Noelle flashed him a confident grin.
If I set my mind to something.
I always get it done? Shed always been able to do whatever ile set out to do, and she was sure shed fit in with this family, no matter what.
Ha, well, good luck with that, Eli muttered, dismissing her.
Then something clicked, and he asked .
By the way, youve met Nicolas Sawyer, right? Yeah, Ive met him, she replied.
2/3 Uh... Eli scratched his head, feeling a little uneasy.
Nicolas had a reputation, and Noelle was too pretty to trust around him .
He didnt want anything bad happening and the last thing the Anderson family needed was more .
So, hed had someone watching over Nicolas place The report he got was that shortly after Noelle went inside, a woman cout of the villa.
That didnt sit well with him.
What if Nicolas is involved in something shady, and Noelle caught him red handed? hed thought So he decided to wait by the door to get the full story. Tellsomething.
Eli asked carefully, When you went in, was there a woman coming out of Nicolass room? Noelles eyes widened in surprise, looking impressed.
Wow, Brother, youre good! Huh? How did y I you know there was a ficks farm? wornan coming out of Nicks 10 ou What? There really was one? Eli was so stunned, he almost didnt even notice how Noelle was addressing Nicolas. Yep! Noelle smiled playfully, clearly not bothered.
When I went in, they were just done, and the woman cout all disheveled, not even dressed properly I had to remind her to put her clothes back on By the end of her little story, Noelle was looking pretty pleased with herself.
Eli was left speechless, his mind racing Damn it! He just met his fiancee, and this idiot was still out here messing around like this? Nicolas is a p of shit
