Chapter 90
“You think you can fool me?” he seethed.
Without warning, he pushed Sadie onto the bed, towering over her, trapping her.
“Tell me! What’s going on between you and Alex?”
“Noah, this is ridiculous,” Sadie said, her voice trembling but defiant.
With every ounce of her strength, Sadie shoved Noah forcefully to the floor. Anger and disgust were clearly visible in her eyes.
Rising from the floor, Noah brushed off his suit, now speckled with dirt. Despite the mess, his confidence remained intact, formidable as ever.
“You think I’m being ridiculous?” he sneered. “Remember, Sadie, you are still my wife.”
As he spoke, Sadie instinctively retreated, biting her lip in defiant silence, determined not to show any vulnerability.
“Your wife?” she scoffed. “And what makes you worthy of being my husband?”
With a scornful laugh, Noah abruptly tore away the bath towel she clung to, leaving her skin exposed to the cool air. Sadie shuddered, but she suppressed the urge to scream.
“What are you trying to do?” she asked, her anger rising as he grasped her waist, his breath hot and forceful against her neck. Despite her fierce resistance, his grip remained unyielding.
“Let me go!” she demanded.
Fear overtook her, and tears carved trails down her cheeks as her hands feebly batted at Noah’s shoulders. Her voice trembled with despair as she spoke.
“I despise you, Noah Wall. I really hate you!”
Her declaration of hatred stopped Noah in his tracks. He froze, a sharp pain striking his heart, so unfamiliar it left him momentarily dazed.noveldrama

He couldn’t understand why her loathing hurt him so deeply. Looking into her tearful eyes, his face showed a mixture of conflicting emotions.
“You were the one who cheated on me first,” he murmured, his voice shaking slightly.
“I never cheated on you,” Sadie said through her tears, both terrified and furious.
She was baffled, unable to comprehend why Noah would continue to accuse her in such a way.
“You know exactly what you and Alex did in this room,” Noah said through clenched teeth.
Fury overwhelmed Sadie, and she swung her hand, striking Noah forcefully across the face.
A loud “Pak!” echoed through the room as her slap landed.
Noah’s head turned to the side, his cheek quickly reddening from the impact.
“Alex isn’t even here. How can you accuse me so falsely? Do you think everyone lies like you?” Sadie retorted, her voice sharp and filled with loathing.
Stunned by the blow, Noah momentarily grasped the reality of the situation.
It then dawned on him that Sadie’s appearance showed no signs of wrongdoing, confirming her claim.
Observing Sadie beneath him, her cheeks streaked with tears, her sobs making it hard for her to breathe, Noah felt utterly bewildered for the first time.
The pain on his cheek felt deeper than any loss he had ever experienced in his business dealings.
Slowly, Noah rose and stepped back, his movements clumsy.
His shirt, with buttons torn away, exposed his chest. His usual air of assurance was gone.
“I’m sorry. It seems I was mistaken. I…” His voice was rough, carrying an undertone of unease he hadn’t perceived before.
Sadie, however, had no interest in listening to him any longer.
