The Bad Boy's Lottery FORTY
NORAI rushed into the house, shutting the door behind me with a slam. My heart was racing, and I leaned back against the door, my hand pressed against my chest. I closed my eyes, trying to calm my racing thoughts and the steady blushing mess I was becoming. And then I opened them, looking up and finding myself staring into the stern face of my father. He was standing in the hallway, his arms crossed over his chest, a scowl on his face. "Where have you been?" he asked, his voice low and stern. I opened my mouth to answer, but no words came out.I scratched at the back of my neck, trying to appear casual, but my father's gaze never left my face. I could feel the tension in the room, and I just wanted to escape. But before I could make a move, a maid appeared in the hallway, carrying a tray of tea. I saw my chance and started to edge away, but my father's voice stopped me in my tracks. "Nora, I’m going to ask again," he said, his voice hard and unyielding. "Where have you been?"At t

NORA"Can you drop me off near my house, but not right in front?" I asked Jordan, my cheeks reddening. I didn't want to risk anyone seeing me arrive home on the back of a motorcycle. I felt a bit embarrassed about the whole situation, even though I knew it was silly. "Of course.”We drove to a spot just a few blocks from my house, and he pulled over. I hopped off the bike and thanked him, my heart still pounding from the ride. I watched him drive away, and then I turned to head towards my house.I watched as my therapist entered our house, looking as professional as ever in her business suit and glasses. I felt a wave of anxiety wash over me, wondering if she had seen me on the back of a motorcycle. I debated whether to go inside or not, torn between wanting to avoid an awkward conversation and not wanting to have any talks whatsoever with her, by all means. The sky grew dark and gloomy, and I took it as a sign to head inside. I took a deep breath and opened the door, bracing myse

NORAI could feel Jordan's breath on my neck, his words echoing in my mind. I tried to focus on my notes, but I couldn't seem to get my thoughts in order. I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I jumped, startled by the touch. I turned to see the teacher standing behind me, a concerned look on her face. I forced a smile, trying to hide my nervousness. "Are you alright?" she asked, her voice gentle. I nodded, not trusting myself to speak.As soon as the teacher walked away, I felt a shiver run down my spine. I could hear Jordan's voice in my ear, a smug smile on his face. "I guess I really left you dumbfounded, huh?" he said, his tone light and teasing. The bell rang, signaling the end of class, and I bolted out of my seat. I gathered my books and rushed out of the room, my cheeks burning with embarrassment. I heard a snicker behind me, and I knew it was Jordan, enjoying my discomfort. I kept my head down as I walked down the hall, trying to avoid eye contact with anyone.His words wer

NORAI was however left surprised and at the same time grateful when all he did was pull me in for a hug. I don’t know what made him change his mind, but whatever it is deserves a pat on the back for a job well done. He made sure the hug lasts no more than a few seconds before withdrawing, a tight cough briefly slipping out his mouth as he itched at his nape and stared at my face, doing nothing to ease the awkwardness but rather intensify it. “I think I should get going.” Tapping my fingers together by my side, I spoke, and he gave countless nods. That had I not know better, would have thought he wants me away but instead, I can see the nervousness creating impurities in his eyes. “Yeah, sure. See you later.” He responded, a cocky grin splaying on his lips as I went. I made my way down the hallway, my hands holding on my backpack’s straps as I continue towards the parking lot.The ride home was short this time around, which I guess was because I did nothing but slept throughout, g
The Bad Boy's Lottery FORTY FOUR
JORDANI tapped my fingers against my leg, watching my stepmother pace the floor with nervous energy. She kept glancing at the door, as if expecting someone to barge in at any moment. Her jaw was clenched, and her brow was furrowed in worry. I could tell she was on edge, which shouldn’t be my business but I found myself seated awaiting whoever it is she’s attempting to let in at this hour of the day. As Sawyer continued to pace, she turned and suddenly noticed me in the corner. Her eyes widened as she approached me, her steps slow and deliberate. She stopped in front of me, her face neutral but her eyes probing, as if trying to read my thoughts."You never told me I assigned you as my watch guard," she said, her voice cold and measured. "What are you doing here?"I met her gaze, keeping my expression blank and my posture relaxed. "I'm here because I wanted to be," I said. "Is there something wrong with that?"A flicker of annoyance crossed her face, but she quickly recovered her c

NORAI crept through the gambling house, my heart pounding in my chest. Sawyer followed close behind, her presence looming over her like a dark cloud. She pushed the door to the back room open, and I stepped inside, my eyes darting around the room. I saw a desk, a chair, and a window, the only source of light in the dim room. I pushed the chair out and sat down, my hands shaking.I watched Sawyer leaned against the desk, her face twisted in a scowl. "What do you think you're doing?" She growled trying to nip fear into me, while I just leaned my back against the chair and took a deep breath. I don’t know how she managed to know I came over recently to her home, the next thing I knew was her at my doorstep almost knocking the gate down. I wouldn’t want her to make a scene so like she requested, I followed her down here."I don't know what you're talking about, I wasn't at your house, I swear. I don't know who you saw, but it wasn't me.""Don't play games with me." She snapped and pu
The Bad Boy's Lottery FORTY SIX
NORAI felt like I was instantly blazed by fire. I became utterly terrified, forced air clogging my breath as I realized what the hell I had just done. I blinked up at him miserably as I snapped distance in between our lips, even though the deed was done already. It was safe to say I shocked the heck out of us both. I wasted no time wrenching my body from him also. Seeing as his face was still firmly alarmed, I knew he wasn’t expecting it also. Neither was I. Courtesy of my goddamn foot.“I-m so sorry, I wasn’t looking.” I couldn’t even form a coherent word. I quickly grabbed my handbag from the floor and took off, fleeing down the street as fast as I could. I could still hear the sound of his laughter behind me as I ran, and I felt my heart pounding in my chest. I finally reached the end of the block, out of breath, and stopped to catch a breath. I leaned against a wall, closing my eyes, her head spinning."Are you okay?" a voice said, and I opened my eyes to see a concerned-look
The Bad Boy's Lottery FORTY SEVEN
LUCANLike always, I made sure to be discreet as always while stalking Nora in and out of school. Yet again, I bite through my clenched teeth as her stepping strayed, and I suppressed myself from running over to her. From her pale skin in the morning, I notified she wasn’t feeling too well. And since I have one of my classmate walk together with me on the way to school, I could not trail her as usual. A few seconds of silence passed by before I noticed she’s stopped. I was ready to take a turn and hide somewhere close when I heard her grunt into her palm and my brows quickly furrowed in apprehension. My instincts kicked in, and I lunged forward, catching Nora just before she hit the ground. Her eyes fluttered closed, and she went limp in my arms. Panic coursed through my veins as I realized she had fainted. I carefully lowered her to the ground, checking for a pulse and breathing.After a moment, I let out a breath of relief as I felt her steady heartbeat and heard her shallow bre
