To Noah, Sadie’s resistance seemed merely a feeble attempt to hide her true feelings for someone else.

Abruptly, he bent down and kissed her, forcing her onto the bed.

The kiss was harsh, tinged with a punishing intensity that involved biting and deep pulls.

Sadie, caught off guard by his sudden aggression, fought back in vain as he gripped her firmly, refusing to let go.

“Mm… release me…” she managed to gasp out.

Her efforts to push him away proved ineffective.

His overpowering kiss left her breathless, her energy fading as tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.

Feeling her tears on his skin made Noah halt and, after a brief pause, he finally let her go.

Breathing heavily, Sadie looked up at him with eyes blurred by tears, her voice shaky. “What do you take me for? You’re with Kyla. Why do you keep coming back to haunt me?”

His expression complex, Noah felt a surge of unspeakable frustration.

Without a word, he turned and strode into the bathroom, where he turned on the cold tap and let the cold water cascade

over him.

The cold of the water offered Noah only temporary clarity, it did little to extinguish the persistent, unsettling heat that simmered within him.

Sadie collapsed onto the floor, curled up, her face hidden in her arms as tears silently spilled down her cheeks.

Eventually, she raised her head, her eyes drawn to the bed.

The warmth of Noah’s presence lingered on the sheets, and the air was subtly tainted with a sweet, cloying scent.

A thought struck her, and she leapt up, walking briskly to the bed. She reached out, touching the sheets that radiated

residual heat.

Remembering the odd heat of Noah’s skin when he had held her, she wondered if perhaps he had been drugged.

Stunned by her own suspicion, Sadie considered who might drug Noah within this estate. Could Kyla be involved? That thought seemed far–fetched–they were, after all, a couple.

Why would Kyla resort to drugging Noah? Such an action appeared wholly unnecessary.

Her eyes shifted toward the bathroom, torn between the urge to check on him and her own trepidation. Noah’s

unpredictable state unnerved her profoundly.

As the silence stretched from the bathroom, Sadie’s concern eventually overpowered her fears.

“Noah?” Sadie’s knock on the door was hesitant, met with silence.

“Noah!” she called out more forcefully, yet the lack of response only heightened her anxiety.

With a surge of concern, she no longer held back and burst through the bathroom door.

Inside, Noah was slumped against the tiles, drenched and unconscious, with water still cascading down on him and steam clouding the air.

Instinctively, Sadie clenched her teeth and mustered all her strength to pull him from the slick floor.

He proved far heavier than she anticipated, making each step toward the bedroom a burdensome effort.

Finally managing to get him onto the bed, Sadie caught her breath, visibly exhausted.

She quickly dried him off, her eyes fixed on his closed ones as her brows knitted together in worry.

The urgent need for medical assistance became clear in her mind.

She reached for the bedside telephone, dialing the butler’s number.

“Hello, this is Sadie. Could you please call the doctor? I, um, I need a doctor here.” Her voice shook with urgency.

“Understood, Miss Hudson. I’ll arrange it right away,” came the butler’s steady, reassuring reply.

After hanging up, Sadie remained seated by the bed, her anxiety evident as she awaited help.
