Roaxana lifted the wine glass and took the last sip. “I feel full now,” she asserted and placed the glass on the
table.
Isaac was happy to see that she enjoyed the meals.
“You shouldn’t do such things, Isaac. It’s in vain. You said you would be my friend. But now, you want to be my
lover. A friend should stay as a friend, not try to becthe lover, Roaxana pronounced as her anger suddenly
burst out.
“I called you as a friend though, Isaac stated.
“You don’t book a private room with a friend,” Roaxana corrected him.
“I don’t want papa razzi to see us and then, click pictures. We both are quite famous and then, it's a headache to
remove such pictures from the social media,” he affirmed, clarifying to her how he wanted to have supper with
her as a friend only.
Roaxana felt guilty for accusing him for nothing. “I am very sorry,” she apologized.
“It seems Ryan has affected you deeply. Let's go then. I'll drop you home,” Isaac opined. and left his seat. He
extended his hand to Roaxana, which she grasped gently.
“Shall we leave?”
“Hmm.” Roaxana was pulled up and they both left the private dining room. As they walked through the corridor,
she realized she entered the hotel in the casual clothes.
When Isaac put his blazer on Roaxana’s shoulders, she tilted her head to look at him. “It is cold outside, he
murmured.
As they finally left the hotel, Roaxana thanked Isaac for the delicious meals. “You don’t need to trouble yourself

Isaac didn’t force her and asked her to get into the car. She nodded and turned around when her eyes fell on
Ryan, who was stepped out of the shotel, but not alone. His father and elder brother were with him.
Ryan’s gaze met hers, and she hoped he would at least say a ‘hello’ to her.
However, he ignored her as if he didn’t recognize her.
While Isaac recognized Ryan and felt a pang of jealousy. The way Roaxana looked at Ryan was different than she
looked at him.

Ryan couldn't give her, then he would ask his father.
Roaxana stepped toward them and held the door, which the chauffeur was going to shut. Ryan's father, James,
lifted his head while Ryan stopped at the passanger seat’s door.
“Why did you break my friendship with Ryan?” Roaxana asked.
“What?” James fumed in anger.
Suddenly Ryan appeared in front of her and shut the door of the backseat. “Move away,” Ryan told her, the eyes
which once carried so much love and concern as a friend for Roaxana were suddenly replaced with hatred and
anguish.
Isaac couldn't stop himself at walked to them. “Talk with respect, you wolf,” Isaac muttered as he gritted his
teeth.
“Ask your girlfriend to not disturb us. She should not stop us the way she did now and I'll not even talk to her,”
Ryan pronounced, looking at Isaac.
“Your mother didn’t die because of us,” Roaxana said. “Your father lied to you,” she stated as tears welled up in
her eyes.
Ryan furrowed his brows together. “Take your girlfriend away, Mr. Isaac Sinclair,” he stated. “You two look great
together.”
Isaac held Roaxana’s hand and took her away from there while Ryan got into the car quickly.
Noah, his elder brother, started the car's engine and drove out of the hotel premises. He narrowly gazed at Ryan,
who looked troubled. As his elder brother, he understood how much Roaxana meant for Ryan. He felt that it
wasn't her fault that their mother’s died. But because of their father, Ryan had to break the friendship with
Roaxana.
“Are you still in talk with the Moore's family only daughter?” James asked in a h oa rse.
tone.
“No, Dad. | am not. Sorry for the earlier,” Ryan immediately refused and then, quickly apologized.
“Stay away from them. It is for your own good,” James stated.
“I know,” Ryan replied.
“Dad, wouldn't it be odd to punish two friends for something they both don’t know?” Noah intervened and looked
at James through the rear-view mirror.
“Are you saying | should let Ryan fall in their trap too? | lost my wife, and | don’t want

to loose my son to those ba st ards,” he proclaimed, a pain reflected in his voice because he missed his wife.
“I'm sorry, Dad,” Noah apologized this time. However, he still strongly believed that such a misunderstanding
from James’s mind needed to be taken out, and Ryan's too.
Isaac sent the driver hwhile he decided to drop Roaxana home. He gave her the water bottle after opening
its lid. “Drink it,” he said in his gentle tone.
After taking a few sips, she returned the bottle to Isaac, who closed it and threw it at that backseat.
“If someone doesn’t respect you, then you shouldn't allow that person to tra mple on your dignity for the second
time,” Isaac asserted.
“Ryan hatesfor something | never did. And it’s not his fault. His father corrupted his thoughts,” Roaxana
stated.
Isaac snickered to hear that. “Ryan doesn’t respect you. He is no longer the one, whom you used to know once,”
he proclaimed.
“You are right. But | feel | should not give up on him,” Roaxana affirmed. She recalled. how Ryan used to miss his
mother when he was young. Perhaps that pain had suddenly grown inside him and it inflicted such negative
emotions in him. Ryan was a type, who would always hide his pain to please the others.
“So, you want to go back to that jerk!?” Isaac arched his eyebrows.
“He’s not a jerk. | know he’s dying from inside,” Roaxana murmured as she peered at Isaac. “You should drop me
home. It’s already late,” she suggested to him.
Isaac hummed and drove her home. After seeing her off, Isaac left in his car.
Roaxana reached the front yard of the house when a serv ant informed her Noah had cto see her. She was
shocked because Ryan's elder brother never cthere.
Walking faster, she finally reached the seating area of the garden and saw Noah there.
Noah stood up from the sofa to see her and passed a smile to her. After Roaxana sat, Noah sat too. “How are you
doing?” he asked. “You don’t need to tell lie to me.”

“Not well,” Roaxana truthfully answered.
“It must be because of Ryan,” he asserted.
“Yeah. He broke our friendship and toldto never show my face to him,” Roaxana.

Noah shook his head. “Dad told us that our mother died because of a decision that the Moore Family took. That's
why Ryan must have said that. But that boy is killing himself from inside. During the day, he consumes himself
with work while at night he gets. immersed in drinking. Alcohol is the way for him to forget his pain,” Noah
narrated everything to her that happened in the past few days.
“Why is doing this to himself? He knows well | wasn’t the reason behind it,” Roaxana affirmed.
“Because of Dad. Also, he wants you to be away from him. Like, he thinks it will affect your life too,” Noah
pronounced.
“Should | chase him then? | look like a fool,” she chuckled and laughed.
“Don’t you love him?” Noah suddenly questioned her.
Roaxana met his gaze and stopped blinking,
“I know you love my brother for a long time. He is a foolish man not to see it. You should consider about chasing
him and supporting him in the twhen he’s at his lowest. | won't force you to do it because Ryan has hurt you
as well. But if you are ready to fight for your love, then you should. Ryan is suffering hell,” he advised her while
ensuring her he would support her fully.
“What if Ryan gets angrier?” Roaxana asked.
“You know my brother more than me. You know what kind of man he is and he still carries the soft spot for you,”
Noah pronounced.
Roaxana fidgeted with her fingers. She would not let Ryan suffer all alone. He was her best friend and she
needed to make an effort to bring peace to his heart by not only delivering the truth to him but also the love he
deserved.
