THE TRUTH THAT BURNS Chapter 16: Riven Hale’s Patience Is Gone. Absolutely Gone.

Chapter 16: Riven Hale’s Patience Is Gone. Absolutely Gone.

Riven finally made it to the parking lot. Freedom.

Peace. Silence. No annoying CEOs ruining his night. — Except.

Guess who was already standing next to his car? That’s right.

Noah Blackwood. — Riven stopped walking.

RIVEN HALE/RIVEN/MC

(No. No, no, no) *He turned back toward the party* (Maybe I’ll just sleep there instead)

NOAH BLACKWOOD/NOAH/ML

*Smirked* Going somewhere?

RIVEN HALE/RIVEN/MC

*Glared* Why are you still here?

NOAH BLACKWOOD/NOAH/ML

*Shrugged* I could ask you the same thing.

RIVEN HALE/RIVEN/MC

(OH MY GOD.)

ETHAN PARK/ETHAN/MC'S ASSISTANT

Ethan’s Thoughts (from inside the building): “Should I rescue Boss? …Nah, I like my job.”

Driver’s Thoughts (sitting in the car): “Why is Mr. Hale just standing there?”

Some Random Woman: “Omg, enemies to lovers??”

RIVEN HALE/RIVEN/MC

*Riven exhaled sharply* Mr. Blackwood, *he said through gritted teeth*I would appreciate it if you moved.

Noah did not move. In fact, he leaned against the car, smirking.

NOAH BLACKWOOD/NOAH/ML

You look irritated,

RIVEN HALE/RIVEN/MC

I AM irritated.

NOAH BLACKWOOD/NOAH/ML

*Tilted his head* Why?

RIVEN HALE/RIVEN/MC

(Oh, I don’t know. Maybe because you’re standing in front of my CAR like a freaking WALL?!)

RIVEN HALE/RIVEN/MC

*Pinched the bridge of his nose* I have no time for your games

NOAH BLACKWOOD/NOAH/ML

*Lips twitched* That’s a shame.

Is it? IS IT REALLY?

🔹 Some Guy’s Thoughts: “They should just kiss already.” 🔹 Another Investor: “Blackwood is so obvious, my god.”

RIVEN HALE/RIVEN/MC

(I AM GOING TO COMMIT A CRIME)

Noah finally stepped aside. But as Riven reached for the car door—

Noah grabbed his wrist. — Riven froze.

NOAH BLACKWOOD/NOAH/ML

*Noah’s voice was low, smooth, teasing* See you soon, Hale.

Then he let go, turning away like he didn’t just make Riven’s brain short-circuit.

ETHAN PARK/ETHAN/MC'S ASSISTANT

Ethan’s Thoughts: “Did I just see a MOVIE SCENE HAPPEN?!”

🔹 Some Old CEO Guy: “These two have ISSUES.”

RIVEN HALE/RIVEN/MC

(i hate him)

(Do you, though? 😏)
