Chapter 30 Two years ago .
.
I worked as an instructor for Thunder Unit .
Once , the unit was tasked with providing special training for students from a prestigious school Unexpectedly , during a wilderness exercise , the group was ambushed by a gang of roaming kidnappers .
That man was taken hostage , and it was me who rescued them from the captors .
Seated in the car .
Noelle casually recounted her past encounter with Harley .
Nicolas , susting beside her , turned to study the petite , soft spoken Noelle with an amused glint in his eyes .
Elly , you were an instructor for Thunder Uni ! Thunder Unit was renowned globally as a militarized elite force , funded by international alliances and known for pr producing top tier personnel who often went on to serve in key roles within national armies .
Of course ? Noelle replied , proudly lifting her chin .
I was so impressive back then that I was specially approved as the youngest and most skilled instructor in Thunder Units history , Everyone said so .
Nicolas chuckled at her smug expression , his heartwarming with amusement .
At first , when Noelle had spoken of her past accomplishments , hed thought she was simply making up stories .
But now , anything she said felt entirely plausible because it was Elly .
She was just that extraordinary .
Youre amazing .
Nicolas said softly , his voice laced with a deep , magnetic warmth that carried a touch of affection .
Each word seemed to resonate deeply , wrapping Noelle in a cocoon of comfort and sweetness .
Her heart skipped a beat , then began pounding furiously as she looked up at his strikingly handsome face .
How can Nick be this good looking she thought , her mind spinning .
And that voice so mesmerizing ! Without thinking , she threw herself into Nicolass arms , wrapping him in a tight hug .
Resting her head against his chest , she murmured softly , her tone sweet and sticky like honey , Nick … Nick … Nick … Nicolas , feeling her softness against him , was filled with an unfamiliar yet pleasant emotion .
He wrapped his arms around her , his hold gentle but Then , as if remembering something , he warned her in a serious tone , Elly , from now on , dont casually share details about your past roles or experiences with others .
Understand ? Why not ? Noelle asked , tilting her head in confusion .
You dont realize how sensitive some of your identities are .
It could bring you unnecessary trouble Nicolass tone was calm but carried a hint of protectiveness .
Youve been lucky so far most people just think youre exaggerating .
But if word spreads , someone might actually dig deeper , and that could lead to problems .
Okay Noelle agreed , though she seemed only half convinced .
Her bright , cat like eyes blinked up at him , and in a soft , obedient voice , If Nick says so , Ill listen .
You little rascal , Nicolas said , unable to suppress a laugh How did I get so lucky to find someone as sweet as Elly ? she sald Meanwhile , Harley and Connor were walking through the underground parking lot .
enly pick a fight Connor glanced at Harleys stormy expression , the frosty air around him unmistakable .
Whats going on , Harley ? Whyd you suddenly with Nicolas ? Dont tell me youre into his girl The dynamic earlier had looked suspiciously like a love triangle .
Noelle isnt his girl , Harley snapped , his tone so sharp it made Connor flinch .
Yan Qings expression suddenly became as ferocious as an evil spirit , and he retorted sharply .
Whoa , okay ! Got it Connor stammered , raising his hands in mock surrender .
Then , his curiosity piqued , he asked , But what did you mean earlier -Two years ago , Dalneau Bay ? Isnt that where you were kidnapped ! Harleys brows furrowed at the memory .
After a deep breath , he said , I told you before , didnt I ? The person who saved me was about my age .
me was a young instructor , 1/3 9:27 AM c Chapter 30 Oh , yeah Connor nnddded .
I remember you saying that you wanted to thank her , but by the time you tried to reach out , she had already left Thunder Unit .
Youve been searching for her ever since .
I found her today , Harley said , his voice low but steady .
Seriously ? Connors face lit up .
Where ? Who is she ? Harley gave Connor a long , almost pitying stare .
Why are you looking at me like that ? Connor asked , his mind racing as he connected the dots .
His eyes widened in disbelief .
Wait , youre not saying that young instructor is Nicolass girl Noelle ? Harley remained silent , his expression grim ..
Thats crazy ? Connor exclaimed , his voice rising .
She looks like a delicate flower raised in a greenhouse .
And she was a Thunder Unit instructor ? Thunder Unit , Harley ! You dont need to remind me .
Harley muttered , his mind flashing back to that fateful day .

Back then , he hadnt thought much of the petite girl his age , until she singlehandedly descended like a storm , dismantling a group of ruthless kidnappers with chilling precision .
She was a legend in the making the strongest instructor in Thunder Units history .
Connors voice broke his reverie .
So , what now ? Noelles clearly with Nicolas , and they look pretty close .
Do you think Nicolas is tricking her ? Hes not exactly known for being trustworthy .
Thats exactly what Im worried about , Harley replied , his irritation mounting- But then he remembered something Noelle had said earlier something that unsettled him deeply She called Nicolas her fiance .
If his memory served him correctly , Nicolass fiancée was supposed to be Leia , the youngest daughter of the Anderson family .
Harleys gaze darkened as a thought struck him .
If anyone could shed light on this , it was Leia With newfound determination , he pulled out his phone and began scrolling through his contacts .
At the Anderson family residence , Eli stared in disbelief at the luxurious gift boxes being carried inside , one after another .
When Kimberly and Leia returned , he immediately confronted them .
Mom , did you seriously buy all this today ? Dumon , standing nearby with a scowl , added .
You never splurged like this on gifts for Leia , but now , for a girl weve barely known , you spend a fortune Is blood really that important to you ? These arent from me , Kimberly said with a sigh , her voice tinged tinged with exasperation .
Theyre from Nicolas .
He bought them all for Noelle What ? Elrs voice rose an octave .
Why would Nicolas buy so much for Noelle ? Darmon sneered .
Great .
Accepting such lavish gifs so soon after meeting him ? If this gets out , people will think were selling our daughter Mom , you should ve stopped her Kimberly frowned .
Damon , thats enough Hi , however , was already seething .
Is Noelle with Nicolas right now ? to him li like a leech .
Who Kimberly hesitated .
Before she could answer , Damon scoffed , Of course she is .
Probably thrilled out of her mind , clinging to cares if hes a playboy , as long as hes spending money un her , right ? Damon , thats enough Kimberly repeated , her tone sharper .
Elis Lace darkened further .
Noelle doesnt listen , does she ! I told her to stay away away from Nicel Nicolas Kimberly watched helplessly as her two sons were already convinced that Noelle and Nicolas were together .
She had no idea how to keep fooling then Lela , however , felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart .
2/3 9:27 AM Chapter 30 .
She walked over and , with exaggerated care , said to Damon and Eli , Damon , Eli , dont be angry with Noelle .
Shes just young and hasnt developed a proper sense of values yet , so she keeps relying on men .
You can teach her slowly , its not too late .
Shes still young Damon sneered , his face full of disdain .
Leia , youre still defending her ! Noelles the same age as you , but can you even compare ! The environment shapes a person .
She grew up in the gutter , and shes already set in her ways .
Dont think a little teaching will make her anything like you Ah , Damon , dont say it like that .
Leia feigned helplessness , but inside , she was grinning like a Cheshire cat .
Noelle , so what if Nicolas is looking after you ? The closer you get to him , the more the brothers will despise you .
Without any family support , see how long youll be basking in Nicolass favor , Leia thought Just as Leia was about to stoke the fire further , her phone rang .
She glanced at the screen , her heart skipping a beat when she saw the name Harley Parker .
