Night soon fell. Hendrix had spent the entire day at Nivis Villa. He hadn’t expected Noelle to be out for so long, even into the night without returning. The messages he sent went unanswered, disappearing into the void.
So, what was this supposed to mean? Was she planning to stay out all night?
And this was only their second day of marriage!
Hendrix almost called her to demand an explanation, but the thought of himself sounding like some powerless, raging husband stopped him.
In the end, he put down his phone. He had a blank expression as he stared at the clock in the corner of his computer screen.
Before midnight struck, Noelle finally came home.
Hearing the sound of the engine, Hendrix instinctively wanted to get up, but he quickly sat back down, his expression unreadable as he resumed browsing through his emails. He remained in the study, not even bothering to close the door.
When Noelle came upstairs, she didn’t even glance in his direction. Instead, she walked straight past his room. As she reached the door to the small guest room, something seemed to cross her mind. She turned around and headed toward the master bedroom.
In this brief moment, she passed by Hendrix’s room twice yet still didn’t so much as glance his way.
Finally, Hendrix couldn’t hold back anymore. “Noelle,” he called out.
Hearing his voice, Noelle stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him.
The moment their eyes met, Hendrix noticed something. “You’ve been drinking?”
“Do you need something?” Her eyes seemed hazy, but her tone remained calm and composed.
Hendrix lowered his eyes. “Did you go out drinking with Dyan?”
“Do you need something?” Noelle asked again.
Hendrix remained silent.
Seeing that he had nothing else to say, Noelle couldn’t be bothered to continue dealing with him and turned to leave.
However, in the next moment, Hendrix closed the distance in a few quick strides and scooped her up entirely. The sudden motion startled Noelle. She instinctively pushed against him with all her might, but with the alcohol in her system, her arms felt weak and powerless. Ultimately, she gave up resisting and let him have his way.
Hendrix carried her straight to the bathroom. Before Noelle could even steady herself, the cold spray from the showerhead hit her.
Though it was still summer, the unexpected chill of the water shocked Noelle, instantly sobering her up. She gritted her teeth and snapped, “Are you insane?”
Hendrix didn’t answer, merely closing the distance between them with an unrelenting intensity.
“You-“Noelle tried to say more, but before she could finish, Hendrix had cornered her in the shower. Without hesitation, he grabbed the belt of her robe and yanked it off with unrestrained force.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Sway and Slide of Love
Like how the story is progressing now but why is the author only releasing 3 chapters at a time? this is torture😩😩...
Woah chapters 41-45 is intense!! Good to see Noelle’s character who has come across as mostly detached actually express emotion....
I find Noelle’s character so frustrating, she comes across lacking any true emotion. The chapters where Rosie was missing was probably the most where we have seen some strong outward emotion shown. Dreading these next few chapters if she is going to do something drastic to “go find Seline” The author has taken us on a rollercoaster with these characters. The novel feels like it is at a stage now where they can come full circle....
A good change of pace and story in the last 10 chapters. Good to see the shift in Hendrix’s character (more patience) to win over Noelle and Rosie. Hope we start to see them warm up to him. Please no crazy twist where he loses them again. Have enjoyed this story and looking forward to its wrap up👨👩👧...
A good change of pace in the last 10 chapters. Also nice to see a shift in Hendrix’s character (more patience) to win Noelle and Rosie over.

I have been in love with this novel but I don’t know how much patience I have to wait until the to finish line. Dear Author, can you atleast give us some idea about how long is this going to be or if there’s any turning point coming soon. And it would be great if you could upload at least 10 chapters at once. 5 chapters is making me more impatience with the anticipation of the further story of novel🙈...
I really hope there is a turning point in this story where Noelle starts to show some interest in Hendrix...
