For today, she had asked Paul to help her get something Noah could wear and he did.
After their bath together, both people walked back to the room to get dressed. As always, Noah was the first to be done dressing why his wife did her beauty things. If it takes a normal person an hour to get dressed, it takes the beauty queen three hours to prepare for any event, that's why she wakes up before time to do it.
Noah watched his wife apply her makeup gracefully as always, admiring how beautiful she is. Though he had told her a thousand times how beautiful she is, "you're so beautiful today my sweet girl." He would keep saying it over and over again. To him, words aren't enough to describe how beautiful his wife is.
He never regrets getting married to Anna. She's the best thing that has happened to him, since the beginning of his life. Noah still couldn't tell how one woman, turned his world into something beautiful since her arrival.
Once she was done adorning her face with beautiful colours that enhanced her beauty even more, Anna wore her dress. It was an off shoulder gown, hugging her body and revealing her womanly curves. Anna stood before her hubby as he helped her zip up her dress.
She turned around to arrange his clothes too and hair, and when they were both done, they stepped out of the hotel room together.
"I haven't seen your family all day." Anna said to her bubby as they both walked down the stairs.
"They live in the palace." Came his brief response as they reached the ground floor. Noah handed his card to one of the cleaners, instructing them on how they would clean his room before walking away with his wife.
Anna was still so shocked at his words, how did his family get to live in the palace, are somehow acquainted to the royal family?
"How are they able to leave in the palace?" Anna asked as walked towards their car. "We're long relations, I think the king is my mother's cousin." Anna's eyes went wide, but she quickly composed herself. She couldn't believe it, Evelyn Declan is royalty?
So that means, Noah is royalty too? But he doesn't act like one. For his mother, she could believe because of how Evelyn carries herself with Grace and confidence. She should have known, Anna thought to herself. She was indeed impressed by Evelyn.
They both arrived at the entrance of the hotel and Noah walked to the Bugatti Chiron already parked there, he opened the door for his wife and helped her step in. Once she was settled in, he walked over to his side and stepped in too. For tonight, he has decided to drive, himself.
Their car accelerated through the city, under the night sky with a few other black convoys following closely behind them. Anna stared at the beautiful city before her, the street light were on, lighting the entire place. She stared at her hubby who stared back at her and they both smiled.
"What is it?" Noah asked focusing back on the road.
"Nothing. You're just looking different tonight." She completed raising her hands to touch his hair and then ears. Never in a million years will she ever imagine being married to a man like Noah, but here she is.
"How different?" Noah asked her.
"More handsome. You look hot." She said, her hands still playing with his ears and then it slowly moved down to his chin. Noah grinned. He knew this woman is playing with him, but when he finally decides to come for her, she would run away like she always does. He slowed down the car and turned to look at her, his grey eyes glinting under the dim light.
"Then you owe me your time tonight. Maybe for being handsome for you." Anna blushed and quickly withdrew her hands from his face. But before she could do it completely, Noah caught hold of her hands and pressed his lips on it.
Anna's heart fluttered at his action. She can never get used to Noah's kind of love.
After a while, silence returned back to the car, since Anna had nothing else to do, she brought out her cellphone from her bag and went through the internet. Her name has not left the trend tables since last night, as everyone still talked about her, the diamond crown and Noah. Anna smiled, but her smile was short lived as she came across a certain news.
'Jk entertainment to sue Anna Sui for bridging her contract.'
Anna laughed hesterically. She couldn't believe these assholes will have the boldness to try this again. They are the very same people to cut ties with her when everything went down. When they thought she was destroyed.
They were quick to sign a deal Nari and kick her out like she was nothing. Like her presence didn't give them enough money, and just when she's getting all the love and attention now, they want her back?
Anna recalled calling Mr Lee and he said they had no room for her. How dare they do this now?
She clicked on the article that was already spreading around to see what was written, and it seems her suspicions were true. They said she still had a one year contract with them, that even if they had cut all ties with her, the contract was never breached since Anna never returned to breach it. They demand her to return, or they sue her for it.
Anna gritted her teeth. This people wanted to milk her for free after the humiliation they gave her. "Fools." She cussed and turned off her phone.
"Are you okay?" Noah asked and she nodded.
"Who is disturbing my sweet girl?" Noah asked softly and she smiled. "You don't have to worry suger, this isn't something I cannot handle." She said pegging his lips and cleaning her lipstick after.
"Hurry up with it then." Anna nodded. This stupid men, why can't they just leave her alone. They had signed Nari to be the face of their company hoping she would defeat Anna, but now she didn't, they want her back?
She's already with Eclipse, she's not going anywhere.

When they arrived at the royal palace, a large building excluded from the rest of the city. It stood so tall on it's own, the size bigger than any building she's ever seen. Anna was in awe. It would be the first time she's visiting the palace before. Though she has always wanted to know what it looks like, she never had the chance to visit, but now she's being invited, she was happy.
Both Anna and Noah stepped out of the car with Noah passing his car keys to one of the guard standing over there. "Find me when you're done parking the car." He ordered.
"Yes sir." The man bowed and went ahead to do his job. He adjusted his mask and Anna adjusted her rumpled dress. Noah raised his arms and she placed her hands in it, and they started walking in. There were many other people who walked in with her, a few of them recognized her and murmured amongst themselves while others ignored them.
They were led into the ball room which left Anna's mouth almost hanging open when she stepped in. Noah who has been here a couple of times in the past wasn't impressed at all. He could remember his parents bringing him here whenever they had issue and his mother was threatening to leave his father.
He understood their fights, especially since their Marraige was a contract one. They only got married for the benefit and nothing more, but today, they love each other more than anything in this world and that after ruining his life and childhood.
He would never let his children go through the things he went through. That's if he and Anna finally have any child. Because the doctor who treated her said a half of her womb was damaged after that fall, so having any child is almost impossible. This is the reason he's hellbent on finding whoever had hurt her.
That person has damaged his wife and he's somehow glad she was yet to regain her memory because if she does, she might cry all day, everyday. He couldn't tell how long she'll be sad for.
"Anna." Evelyn who sighted them from afar walked up to them.
