Chapter 13: The Devil Wears Armani (And So Does Noah)
Riven Hale hated business parties.
They were loud. Annoying. Full of fake smiles and empty conversations.
And now, thanks to his new mind-reading ability, they were also a mental nightmare.
—
Dressed in a sharp black suit, Riven stepped into the grand ballroom, already regretting his life choices.
RIVEN HALE/RIVEN/MC
The chandeliers sparkled. The rich laughed. The music played softly in the background.
And the thoughts came flooding in
🔹 Investor 1: “I should pretend to like him so he invests in my company.”
🔹 CEO’s Wife: “I wonder if he’s single. What a waste if he is.”
🔹 Young Entrepreneur: “If I impress Riven Hale, my business will take off.”
RIVEN HALE/RIVEN/MC
*Riven sighed* (Fake. All fake) *He grabbed a glass of champagne from a waiter and headed toward a quiet corner—when suddenly*
And Riven felt it.
He turned his head, and that’s when he saw him.
Noah Blackwood.
Long, sleek black hair. Piercing dark eyes. Tall and effortlessly powerful.
NOAH BLACKWOOD/NOAH/ML
The man walked in like he owned the world. Like he was the storm before a disaster. Like he was born to ruin Riven’s peace.
And the worst part?
Riven couldn’t hear a single thought from him.
—
Riven’s eye twitched.
This was new. This was very new.
Who was this man, and why was his mind completely silent?
Noah approached him, stopping right in front of him.
Their eyes met.
NOAH BLACKWOOD/NOAH/ML
*Noah smirked* Riven Hale. Finally, we meet again.
RIVEN HALE/RIVEN/MC
*Took a slow sip of his champagne* I’d say it’s a pleasure, but I hate lying
Noah chuckled. Deep. Smooth. Dangerous.
The kind of laugh that meant trouble.
Riven was suddenly very, very interested.
