CHAPTER 4-LOVE OR LIFE
Noel was shaking with fear and Leon was shaken by the entire incident. Mr. Davis was a very bad man and he was the worst enemy anyone can have. Mr. Davis' anger was at its highest level and it felt like the volcano would soon erupt.
"Nathan, tell everyone outside that the party is over and take Jake out of my sight now." Mr. Davis ordered his manager. Then he turned towards Mrs. Davis and said- "Christine, take her to her room and I will be there shortly."
"And you, wait here I want to talk to you." Mr. Davis commanded Leon before storming out of the room.
Christine took Noel to her room while she was still sobbing.
After a few minutes Mr. Davis returned to the room. Before Leon could say anything he beckoned him to stand before him while he sat in a chair and asked-"I think you know that I am not very happy with you and my daughter's relationship. She is a child but you are an adult, you should have shown more understanding while handling this situation. But whatever done is done. I don't you near my daughter ever again even if you want to talk to her it won't be good for you neither your family. I think you are smart enough to understand this."
Leon had to clear his stand. "Sir, I know it's not good for your reputation that your daughter is going out with your driver's son but it is not a joke nor are we fooling around. We love each other very much and we want to keep it that way as long as possible." Leon was determined and confident while telling him the truth.
Mr. Davis was furious at Leon's answer, he thought that if he threatened him then he would back away but it was all going the wrong way. "The moment you opened your moth your father lost his job. I was very serious when I told that it won't be good for you. But if insist on keeping your behavior I will have no choice but you take your life. Look, son life is more important than love and if you want I can give you monetary help if you stay away from Noel, Okay. I think you will consider my offer."
"I would like to tell you one thing that love is more important than life and I don't want your FUCKING money." Leon said before storming out of the room.
Mr. Davis was more than pissed by this time. He thought his daughter would understand and stay away from this prick if he told her so. He went into her room where Christine was still her daughter while she was sobbing.
He sat on the bed beside Noel and took her face in his hands rubbing of the tears from her cheeks. He looked into her tear filled eyes and said-"Noel, I know it is not easy for you but I think you understand my situation. I don't want people to know about your relationship with that brat, it is not good for our reputation. I hope you will understand when I will tell you sever all your ties with that brat. Okay."
"He is not a brat and I love him dad. I want to be with him." Noel said looking into her father's eyes.
Edward Davis' blood boiled as he heard his daughter disagreeing with him. He squeezed her cheeks in his large hand and said- "Listen, if you don't stay away from him I will not hesitate to kill him. I think you don't want that." He released her face and walked toward the door.
"You can't control my life as you have been controlling my mother's life. You can't kill him and if you would then be ready to lose your daughter too." Noel said gritting her teeth.
Edward turned around and slapped Noel hard. "You dare not speak to me like that. Pack your bags; you are leaving for your aunt's place the first thing in the morning." He said before walking out of the door.
"I don't want to go. Please, dad listen to me dad....." Noel screamed until her father was out of the sight.

Her aunt Miranda lived in Epsom, near London. She was a very successful business woman and therefore very rich. She lived in a mansion and had maids and servants to take care of her and her mansion. She never married though she had a son named Aaron who currently was in Australia looking after his own business. He never liked his mother's nor his uncle's sense of understanding and overwhelming love for money and power. He hated both of them but he loved Noel as his own sister. Aunt Miranda could never be found in her home she was always out on business trips. It was one of the reasons why Aaron hated her so much.
When Noel reached the mansion she couldn't find her aunt anywhere, only servants and maids were keeping her house clean.
Miranda had asked her head housekeeper to appoint a new maid close to Noel's age to take care of her and to provide company. Abigail was hired for the same purpose. Photography was Noel's favorite hobby and she wanted to be a professional so she took admission in a prestigious college in London. Abigail was also a photography student in the same college but she was a scholarship student. This was one of the main reasons Abigail was hired so that she could keep eye on Noel while in college. Abigail herself thought that it was sick but she was paid handsomely for this so she never complained.
After one month of control Noel finally broke down in front of Abigail. She had become her close friend in this time and she wanted to share her sorrow with her.
Abigail was very understanding and she said- "I know I can't help you in any of this but if you need anything just tell me I will do everything in my power to make you feel better."
Noel was not sure that she could ever see Leon again or not. He had never called her after that incident though it was not his fault because he didn't even knew where she was but still she expected him to come to her rescue.
* * * *
Leon became desperate. He had no news of Noel. He asked Maggie and Elle but they too had no idea where she was. They did tell him that she was more likely to be at her aunt's place in London.
Aaron was a good friend of Leon. Whenever he came to US they hang out together. Even after he moved to Australia they stayed updated with each other. Aaron always told him that Leon and Noel were made for each other but Leon thought he was joking.
He called Aaron and asked if knew anything about Noel.
"This means your little angel is held captive by her wicked aunt, isn't it?" Aaron answered giggling.
