Chapter 1: Be Careful What You Wish For
Noah pulled up to the pool party in his dark sports car, already knowing how things would play out.
And just as he’d expected, the moment he stepped out into the pool area, cheers erupted from the crowd of socialites lounging by the water. Some even raised their drinks as cries of his name filled the air.
"Noah! Good to see you, man!"
He flashed his usual grin. The same one that had both graced the cover of business magazines and charmed beautiful women, even if he didn’t know most of them.
But that was the burden of being him, and he was happy with it.
Noah Webb, young billionaire and certified heartbreaker, had arrived.
He made his rounds, exchanging pleasantries and indulging in shallow conversations that he barely paid attention to.
His mind was elsewhere, tired of the predictability of it all.
Even as hands clapped his back and flirtatious eyes roamed his body, he felt detached. Like he was watching the whole thing outside his own body.
Maybe he was tired of his life now.
Everything was the same. Everybody bending over backwards just to please him.
