Norma's POVI enjoyed the night with Connor. However, I do not know if he wanted it as much as I did. I do not know if I will ever see him again. Now that I am just a poor working girl trying to get her degree, I do not think I am good enough for Connor. I do not believe that his family will accept me. Eva got a bursary, and she is studying in England. My parents want nothing to do with me, and I've not even contacted me since I have lived here if I'm okay. I do not mind because I believe my parents are furious at me. I do not want them to come to my shop and start yelling and screaming at me in front of all of my new friends. It won't be enjoyable if they do that. And I know my mother will. She has no conscience whatsoever. All she wants is for me to live her dream. I cannot even imagine how it would feel if Connor and Jimmy were inside the restaurant while my mother embarrasses me.Connor did not say anything about a second date. I wonder if it will ever ask me out on another date.
Connor's POVI cannot believe that I am in love. I was teasing Jimmy for falling in love with Cassie. Now I am in love with Norma. I know it is why I could not stop thinking about her. I guess she stole my heart long ago. I didn't want to believe it because I had always felt sorry for Eva. I thought she was the one that was bullying Eva. I know Norma will never talk badly about Eva or anyone else. I have seen the way she acted. She took all the blame on herself. I understand she was not always pleasant doing school, but it was because she was not happy at home. We even saw the way her mother could handle her some days. We should have known that our mother and her father were not treating her well. However, we never noticed her because we saw her as the enemy. I wonder how many of the stories that Eva told us were true. She will sometimes come out of the bathroom crying, saying that Norma has hit her. However, I have never seen Norma getting physical with anybody else.One day, I remem
Connor's POVThe time has gone by. I have been dating Norma for almost five years now. We are as happy as we have been since our first date. Jimmy and I are running the company my father started. My father is still in charge but is taking time off to spend with my mother. Besides, Bella has started university, and my parents are alone in the big house now. My parents bought Bella a condo in the same complex as mine. I am a little bit worried about my sister because she does not seem to be social. She's studying all the time. And when she is not studying, she works at my mother's company. She has always been challenging to make friends with. Bella has always been the quiet one who will spend more time behind the computer or books than with friends. She will make a reasonable attorney one day, as she does not show her feelings. I do not know what happened to her and why she became like this because she was not always like this. She was always happy and bubbly until around sixteen. Then
Eva's POVI am backing America and working at the old diner again. I have promised the manager that I will not make any more trouble. Things didn't work out as I thought it would in England. I lost one bursary, and my grades were not good enough because I went partying too much and did not study as I should have. Now, I'm back at the diner, working through the last few years of university to become the doctor I always wanted to become. I thought I would still get Norma here, but she has finished her studies and is now a famous designer. I cannot believe she became something, and I am still not a doctor. When I returned, I thought I would rub my doctor's degree in her face. She was the one that made me lose my best friends. I had not seen him before and planned to say hello to them. But I did not know how they were going to accept me.I could not believe it when Connor and Norma came hand in hand into the diner. I know everybody was excited about an engagement that will happen near ton
Connor's POVI am nervous as I look at my beautiful Norma. What if she feels that we are so too young to get married? What if she says no in front of everybody? I will feel like an asshole. However, I am not afraid to take the chance. I'm willing to accept any chance that I get with Norma. I love her with my whole heart. I know she realized by now how much I adore her. She understands that my family is absolutely crazy about her and that they don't even care about her parents. I have everything planned out. We have ordered shower drinks. But tonight they are bringing a bottle of champagne. I know, nor my love's pink champagne. I fill our glasses, and Norma looks at me in surprise. "Did I forget the first day that we met? Why are we drinking champagne tonight?" Norma asks. "It is the first night we met five years ago. That is why I brought you here, where I met you. I know we have known each other before from school, but it is not meeting the real Norma. I met the woman that I loved
Norma's POVI am happy I am going to marry the man of my dreams. We are having a great time. That's when Eva steps up to the table. She does not look happy at all. However, there is a smile on her face when she looks at us. She's putting up a charade. I know Eva better than this. I understand she is up to no good. I wonder what she wants from us and why she is here. Everybody that is around us came to celebrate with us. I hope she does not think that I will invite her to celebrate with us because that will not happen. I look at Connor. He's not even looking at her. He's talking with his parents. Eva is beautiful. She has become more attractive over the years. However, there is something about her that is of putting. Maybe it is her personality. I do not know. Her face looks as if she wants to kill someone. I do not care who she wants to destroy, but I will not be one of her victims anymore."Hello Eva, how can we help you? It has been a long time since we saw you. Are you a doctor?" I
Connor's POVSo it was Johnny and Eva who broke my sister's heart when she was but fifteen years old, going on sixteen. Eva was a cruel person. I just never realized it. I remember Bella always ignoring her when she came to our house. She would lock herself in her room and not leave until Eva left. I must know what happened because Eva used people to hurt others. I only realized it when I saw the real Eva. The real Eva was the night she was working here with Norma and got fired. She tried to make life difficult for Norma. I think she is crazy. What happened to her doctor's degree anyway? She can't be finished yet. "Well, I will leave if you don't want me around. But I warn you, you are going to regret this wedding. We all know that you are not in love with Norma but with me. You want to punish me. And now that you understand that I'm back, you plant all of this at the diner where I work. Why did you come here if you didn't want me to see that you were getting engaged? If you think I
Baron's POVI don't usually come to this part of town. However, the building where this little diner sits is up for sale. This part of town is bustling and ideal for business offices. That is where I am here tonight. I wonder what Chase Stone is doing here. Did he also hear that this place is up for sale? Her son Connor is also here, but they are celebrating something. Have they already bought this building? I hope not, because I want this place. I've always been the Maxwell family's black sheep; my father sent me overseas to study. My brother is the heir to the Maxwell fortune. He is the oldest, but I am the one with the business brain, so I started my own business, and at this moment, I am doing much better than my father and brother. I don't like the Stones. Many of my deals went down the drain because of them. Although I am only twenty-five, I am already wealthier than my family. I did not go to school here. I was always in boarding schools because my father and mother thought I
