Noah's life was boring. Whatever he did would always work. Whatever Noah wanted, he easily got. A flat life with no challenges, Noah was fed up with everything. Until one day, a woman caught his eye. His jet-black eyes were transfixed, staring into sapphire-blue eyes that sparkled as beautifully as the sky with the sound of soft laughter, sounding like music greeting his ears. For the first time, Noah found something that caught his attention. "Ranesyha, you are mine now." His blank gaze was now filled with sparkles staring at Ranesyha. A simple attraction that slowly turned into an endless mad obsession. Noah did everything he could to get Ranesyha. No matter what he had to destroy. No matter who he had to kill. No matter if Ranesyha liked him or not.
"Mom, is this a joke?"
Ranesyha ran down the stairs, her sapphire blue eyes sparkling with anger at her mother.
One day after the engagement cancellation, her parents had again arranged a blind date for her.
Ranesyha let out a frustrated sigh. Ignoring her messy black hair, she protested loudly, unhappy with her parents who kept interfering with her personal life.
"Honey, you still remember the promise you made with mom, don't you?"
Ranesyha turned her face away, her mouth shut tightly without a sound. Ranesyha knew clearly, whatever excuses she would make would not free her from her hated blind date.
"I... I remember," she said quietly.
Ranesyha bowed her head, I confidently made an appointment with my parents. an appointment Ranesyha thought she would never have to make. because she believed that her fiancé would not cheat on her.
"But mom, why should I go on a blind date with a man who is the same age as uncle!" she protested.
Ranesyha, who had just celebrated her twentieth birthday, was unhappy to learn that the man she was on a blind date with was thirty-two years old.
"Mom doesn't want to know. Anyway, today, you have to join the blind date that mom has organised for you."
Ranesyha sighed, her footsteps heavy as she walked into her favourite restaurant.
Ranesyha who had no choice, reluctantly attended the blind date arranged by her parents. But the problem was, of all the restaurants there were why did it have to be her favourite.
"Welcome Miss."
A waiter politely greeted her and escorted Ranesyha to the table reserved for her.
Ranesyha looked around in confusion. The usually crowded restaurant was very quiet today. She didn't see any other diners besides herself. not to mention that the decor of the restaurant today looked different from usual.
Since she entered, Ranesyha had heard the soft strains of the piano playing her favourite song. Every table was decorated with a pair of beautiful candles. Around the table she was at, there were even huge blue tulips surrounding it.
For some reason, Ranesyha felt that all this was prepared for her.
"No, it wasn't. No way. What crazy man would bother to prepare all this for his blind date," she said to herself.
Ranesyha laughed softly trying to erase the unrealistic things that popped into her head.
We didn't know each other, and Ranesyha knew for a fact that this blind date was something imposed by the parents of both parties. She didn't want to get ahead of herself.
Ranesyha who was lost in her thoughts did not notice a man standing right in front of her looking at her with an inexplicable look.
"Sorry I came late."
Ranesyha was slightly surprised when she saw a man greeting her. Her sapphire blue eyes were glued to the handsome man in front of her.
Jet black hair with hypnotising sooty black eyes. If likened to the male characters in the novels Ranesyha often read, the man in front of her was an attractive man who could even make the night sky jealous of his good looks.
Although Ranesyha's ex-lover had a handsome face. But, when compared to the man in front of her, her former lover was like a pile of sand. While the man in front of her was a diamond.
"Wow, isn't my toned partner an old man? How can he look so handsome?' said Ranesyha in her heart.
Noah looked at Ranesyha with a faint smile on his lips. His black eyes watched every little change that happened to his blind date's face.
Most women Noah met would try to look elegant and shamelessly try to seduce him. But Ranesha was different.
Noah noticed Ranesyha's enraptured face as soon as he arrived, but instead of looking pleased, the woman looked confused as she looked at him. It was as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
Noah could clearly see the anxiety radiating from the sapphire blue eyes that looked at him questioningly.
"Excuse me, are you my blind date?"
Noah smiled, hearing the unexpected question come from the small lips of Ranesyha who had been so interested in him.
A small nod came out in response. Ranesyha could not hide the shock she felt as she unconsciously covered her open mouth with her right hand.
"Uncle, are you really thirty-two years old?" asked Ranesyha curiously.
Her gaze was filled with curiosity. The sapphire blue crystals looked directly into his coal black eyes.
Ranesyha's face looked so cute, it was like watching a kitten hesitating to approach a human who would give it food.
Noah took out his identity card, giving it to Ranesyha to answer her curiosity.
"Wow, Uncle, you look so handsome despite being the same age as my uncle," Ranesyha said in disbelief.
Noah laughed softly at the innocent reply Ranesyha gave him.
"I'm happy. This face managed to attract my date," Noah said proudly.
Ranesyha's heart pounded strangely at Noah's words. The man's sooty black eyes staring at her softly made Ranesyha feel embarrassed and quickly changed the subject.
"Ah, uncle I'm hungry, how about we order some food now," she said shyly.
Noah felt a pleasant sensation that he had never felt before. The slight seduction that came out of his mouth, managed to make Ranesyha's cheeks blush.
Noah couldn't even take his eyes off the sapphire blue eyes that were giggling nervously and Ranesyha's ears that were slightly reddened with embarrassment looked very adorable to him.
Noah still wanted to tease Ranesyha further, but Noah held back his desire. Noah didn't want to leave a bad impression on their first meeting.
A server came and carefully placed the food on the table. Ranesyha was confused when she saw that all the food served was her favourite.
"Everything is my favourite food, how come? Is this just a coincidence?" she asked herself.
Noah noticed the obvious confusion on Ranesyha's face and just quietly observed her. As Ranesyha began to eat without asking anything, Noah slowly touched his food.
A waiter brought them a bottle of red wine. Ranesyha could not contain the excitement she felt as the waiter poured the red wine into her glass.
"Do you like the wine I ordered?'"
Ranesyha quickly nodded her head. a smile broke out brightly on her beautiful face. Noah was once again mesmerised by Ranesyha's innocence.
"My parents never allowed me to drink red wine before," she said as she gulped down the wine in her glass.
Noah filled Ranesyha's empty glass with wine again. Once, twice, three times, Ranesyha who had a low tolerance for drinks quickly got drunk.
Noah just smiled and listened with interest to all the complaints that came out of Ranesyha's mouth.
"You know uncle. My parents are very annoying. As soon as they found out that my fiancé was cheating on me they cancelled our engagement without even discussing it with me," she said half-consciously.
"I was determined to reject uncle after this blind date, but now I have doubts. Uncle has a very handsome face," she explained.
Noah listened to all the complaints without saying anything. he patiently waited until Ranesyha completely lost consciousness.
His coal black eyes shone as if not to be outdone by the night sky that continued to watch the two.
The corners of his mouth lifted slowly, there was no longer that gentle gaze on that handsome face. There was only a mad face with a gaze full of obsession, looking at Ranesyha who was fast asleep.
The sleeping Ranesyha did not realise that she had completely fallen into the trap that Noah had set for her. The sound of Noah's laughter filled the completely silent restaurant.
"Baby, you're caught," he whispered madly.
