Noah opened his eyes, the early morning light filtering through the curtains. As he lay there, memories of the night before flooded his mind. He had planned to use Sarah to exact his revenge, to make her feel the pain he thought she had caused him and his family. But as he looked at her sleeping form beside him, he couldn't help but feel conflicted.
The passion they had shared was undeniable, and he couldn't deny the feelings that were stirring within him. But he knew he couldn't let himself be swayed by those emotions. He needed to stay focused on his plan, to make Sarah pay for what he believed she had done. With a sigh, Noah quietly slipped out of bed, trying to push aside the mix of emotions swirling inside him.
Noah grabbed his clothes that were scattered on the floor and then reached for his phone. Last night, after Sarah fell asleep, he sent a brief text to Matthew to pick him up as early as seven in the morning.
