Noah stared blankly in front of him. He did not know what to do. His mind was in utter chaos. The top businessman of the country, who could control the life and death of his employees as well as most other companies, did not know what to do now.

He was in a meeting when he had got a call from Joshua. He had called him a few minutes back and had informed him about Ivy's courageous attempts and her sting operation which was going viral. After listening to his words and looking at the news himself, Noah was sure that Ivy had definitely inherited the skills from her father. But that was not the reason for his stress.

Noah knew that the rate at which Ivy and Aria were making progress in the search for their father, it would not be far away when the actual truth would be revealed to the world.

He was scared, not because the truth would be revealed or not because Ivy was almost nearing their secret. He was afraid that the secret, which had been buried for almost three years, would impact his love life. Definitely this would influence his relationship with Aria and he did not want to lose her at any cost. Not now when she too felt the same way as him. However, he could not tell her truth either. It was not the correct time yet. How could he say that he had kept her father captive just to keep him alive, to keep him safe?

Not only Oliver West, Noah had even saved the entire West family by kidnapping Oliver, though he couldn't avoid the unfortunate death of Mrs. West. To save the West family, he had even gone to the extent of erasing Oliver's records along with his family. Yet, now he did not know what to do.

Noah knew that what he had done was cruel to Oliver and his family. But in actual his deeds had what kept Aria and Ivy alive, else they would have been dead a long time ago.

He could not tell anything to Aria anything as the danger to their family hand not ended. If the word got out that Oliver was still alive, then people would definitely come after him.

Oliver still had some confidential information that could bring down the entire nation. Yet, nobody knew where he had hidden it. Not even Noah.

There was a knock at the door. After talking to Joshua, Noah had gone back to his cabin to organize his thoughts.

"Boss." Ronnie entered and stood in front of him. Looking at his Boss's distressed face, he realized something was wrong.

"Is everything alright, Boss?" Ronnie asked when he saw Noah being unusually silent. Though he was normally cold and spoke only a few words, at that moment he was abnormally silent.

"Aria is Oliver's daughter," Noah said. His voice was laced with despair.

"What?" Ronnie was gobsmacked. Nobody had expected such a turn of events. "Madam and Mr. West are related?"

"Yes."

"Now what do we do Boss? Are you going to tell Madam about her father?"

"No. It's not the correct time." Noah rejected Ronnie's offer at once.

"Then what do we do, Boss?" Ronnie was confused too. If Aria was Oliver's daughter, then that would mean Noah had to buck up with his plans. Or else it might become too late for him to rectify. Once Aria found out about Noah's involvement in her father's kidnap, she would definitely not spare him.

"Gather our men. I want to search at all possible places where Oliver might have hidden the information. Contact anyone. I don't care. But I want results."

"How about this Boss? You could directly ask Madam if she knows anything about the classified information."

Noah sent him a glare immediately after hearing his words. Ronnie shivered seeing his dreadful look.

"Do you take me for a fool. Why would I want to sabotage my relationship on my own? Anyway, if she had known about something like that, why haven't she done anything? She could easily get her father back that way."

Noah's question made sense. So, Ronnie had no response. But after thinking for a while, he got another idea.

"Boss, how about this? You could casually ask Madam about her father. That way she would tell you everything. Since you are in a relationship, she might tell you everything. Although not right, but gradually."

Noah got his point at once. "After that I could offer her my help. Then definitely I can find out more about the data which Oliver has hidden."

"Yes Boss."

"Not bad Ronnie. Your intelligence has improved."

"Thank you, Boss."

"I am happy with your suggestion. Go take a six-month bonus."

"Boss, thank you. Thank you so much."

"Enough with this now. You still have to do the work I have told you to do. I don't know when I can get information out of Aria. Until then keep searching."

"Right away Boss."

After Ronnie exited the room, Noah immediately called Joshua and Ian told them about his plan.

Ian: We could do this.

Joshua: Yes, I'll try the same thing with Ivy.

Noah: Try not to do anything that would make them suspicious.

Joshua: I know. Although I don't want to do this to the sisters, we have no choice.

Ian: Me neither. But it is for their own good.

Joshua: How did we end up in such a situation? Noah is the person Aria is looking for and he is in a relationship with her. What a twist of fate!

Noah: Shut up.

Joshua: Calm down lover boy. We'll do everything we can to keep your love safe.

Noah: Just you wait and watch. I am sure that you will be definitely crying buckets when you face something like with your love in the future.

Joshua: Hold on. That's not going to happen. I am never going to be in a serious relationship.

Ian: We will see my friend. We will see. I am sure there is someone out there who will bring you to your knees.

What none of the three knew was whatever Ian and Noah had told to Joshua as a joke would actually happen to him in real in the future. He would definitely cry buckets and fall to his knees just to get his love back.
