2024-10-29 19:42:56That day during the PE break, Nora had seen Liam entering the science laboratory.
She was surprised to find him in the lab when everyone else was on the ground.
Her eyes lit up at once when she thought how she would stumble upon his secret inside and hence followed him sneakily.
When she entered the lab, however, reality proved to be different.
What she saw differed totally from what she had imagined.
The so-called secret did not exist.
Instead, she noticed Liam behaved abnormally and seemed to have difficulty in breathing.
“Are you okay, Liam?” She walked towards him, and before her hands could touch him, Liam flung her away mercilessly.
“Get Lost.”
Shocked by his sudden outburst, Nora was confused.
The boy in front of her began clutching his hair as he groaned in pain.
She wanted to go over and help him but didn’t know-how.
Just as she was contemplating, he paused

Trouble with the Devil Assault her
These students were truly vicious. They did not care if their actions would severely injure her. All they had in their mind was to enjoy her miserable state. The scalding hot soup ran down her head, burning her scalp. Any normal person would have fainted from the intense pain. To make things more exciting, the students picked up tomatoes and water balloons, assaulting her. Throughout, Nora did not even let out a whimper. On the exterior, she had put up a strong front, but internally she was at her breaking point. She wanted someone to come to her rescue, but it was a pity that the person who had promised to protect her till the end was the same who had caused her to be in this state. At that moment she did not know what hurt more, her body or her heart. Finally, she broke down her limits and as her scalp began tingling in pain, hot tears st
Trouble with the Devil Charity Ball
Nora returned to her condo and rushed straight inside the bathroom. She removed her clothes hastily and climbed inside the bathtub that was already filled with cold water. She rubbed her skin with the bath scrub till her skin turned red. It was as if in this way it would wash off all her pain and endless humiliation she had suffered today. At last, she was tired of all the scrubbing and buried her face in her knees. Her shoulders trembled as she cried miserably. A melodious ringtone resounded in the bathroom. Her cell phone buzzed inside the pocket of her jacket. The voice of the cell phone seemed to have not drifted past Nora’s ears. The phone continued ringing, and it was only after she found the noise to be too irksome did she reach out for it. Glancing at the bright screen, she saw it was her brother calling. Nora hurriedly answered the call. “Hello.” A magnetic
Trouble with the Devil I hate you so much (1)
Heavenly Pavillion The villas in Primrose street were divided into specific classes. The best undoubtedly belonged to the owner of Heavenly Pavillion and the organizer of this year’s charity ball. The security here was extremely tight. At the entrance, there were escorts, welcoming the guests. Although it wasn’t her first time attending such a lavish event, Nora was still in awe looking at the arrangements. After looking around, Nora could identify most of the people. They were people from the upper class. Seeing that there were only a few people from their school, Nora relaxed. It was early fall, yet her palms were sweaty. She was exceedingly nervous. Her heart was pounding until she could hear it, and a bad feeling crept into her mind. She turned towards Jessica nervously and suggested. “Maybe I should go back. I do
Trouble with the Devil I hate you so much (2)
“Will you stop drinking?” Sean asked helplessly, watching his best friend pour another glass of wine. Liam acted like he didn’t hear him and downed the glass in a go. Ever since the event started, Liam had been drinking nonstop and Sean did not know how to make him stop. Sean could only watch helplessly as he drowned himself in his sorrow. “You think drinking yourself to death will wash your sins?” An angry voice from behind them and Jackson strode over them. Since the last day of school, he had lost hold of Liam. He wouldn’t pick up his calls or read his messages. He even went to his house hoping to meet him there, but the house was empty except for the maids and guards. It was as though he had disappeared from the world. Before Jackson could reach Liam, Sean stood between Jackson and Liam. “Stay out of it,” he ordered calmly. “Stop
Trouble with the Devil What are you doing here?
The party was coming to a close as the evening approached its climax. Several couples walked to the center of the hall, swaying on the dance floor. All the girls present, whether they were rich heiresses or socialites, all had their expectant gaze towards Liam, awaiting who he would choose as his dance partner. Except for one. Nora hadn’t left the event yet. Because she arrived with Jessica, she couldn’t leave by herself. Besides, Jessica had sneaked somewhere with Jackson, leaving Nora to fend for herself. As more and more people crowded on the dance floor, Nora stepped aside in a corner, trying to make her presence invisible. Suddenly, a figure walked towards her, step by step. Nora felt a sinking feeling invade her limbs as she tried to back away, however, the person didn’t give her any room to move. Clad in an all-black suit and turtleneck, Liam stood in front of her, just two
Trouble with the Devil Sharing a room with him
The morning light traveled through the curtains directly on her face, waking her up. Nora furrowed her brows and pulled the quilt over her head. Within a few seconds, she threw the blanket off. The heat made her suffocate. She rubbed her eyes groggily and let out a yawn. As soon as the unfamiliar surrounding came in her sight, she sat up with a start. She recalled the events from last night and breathed a sigh of relief. Her eyes roamed across the empty bedroom, searching for Liam. He had promised to send her home in the morning. Just then, the door to the room opened, and a tall man entered the room. To her surprise, it wasn’t Liam. He was about 182 centimeters tall, had dark black hair, and a bulky built. There were many small tattoos on his neck, and his nose and ears were pierced. He looked somewhat familia
Trouble with the Devil Shower
The night breeze was chilly, and it was pitch dark outside. In the silent night, only the sound of night chippers could be heard. Nora tossed and turned around in her sleep, feeling uncomfortable. Apparently, she hadn’t taken a bath for two days. Somehow, the bathroom had a leakage and couldn’t be used for some time. Because of this, Nora couldn’t take a bath and it was too risky for her to bathe in the guest washrooms, too. Although Liam suggested he would take care of it, Nora declined. She thought she can bear with it and didn’t want to risk anything least Liam put the blame on her. However, now, it was really becoming unbearable for her. She was itching all over her body and her skin turned rash. She sat up and looked at the man sleeping on the enormous bed. Watching him sleep peacefully, she didn’t have the heart to wake him up. These past few days
Trouble with the Devil Hugging each other to sleep
The bathroom door opened and Liam came out wiping his hair, wearing only a towel tied around his waist. Nora was caught by surprise, and her mouth fell wide open. Her gaze landed on his firm and muscular chest. His muscles were neither outrageously built nor too thin. Just right. Water droplets slid down his clearly defined- six-pack. His sexy Apollo belt from the sides of his waist extended down towards the towel. Liam saw the girl staring at him with bright eyes from the mirror and his lips turned upward. Dazed, Nora lifted her eyes to look at him.As he had just washed up, his face looked more handsome and well-defined. Without turning around, he glanced at her smitten expression and asked. “Are you done staring?” Nora was snapped back to her senses, and she immediately covered her face with her hands. “You, you, how can you roam around naked in the house?” He ope

Trouble with the Devil Epilogue
Soon, the ceremony started, and the students walked up to the podium to receive their diplomas. The loudest claps came from the Winstons when Nora received her recognition. “Congratulations,” Stefan said, pulling Nora into a hug. “Thank you!” Nora hugged him back excitedly before pulling back. Beside her, Stefan saw Liam coming over and said, “Congratulations.” Liam nodded his head at him, but Stefan pulled him into a half hug, patting his back. Liam stood rooted, his face turning awkward. He was still not used to others’ touch. Nora laughed loudly at his expression. Her baby was so cute! “Everyone, let’s take pictures,” Jessica shouted, running over with her camera. “I’ll take it.” Krystal offered. Nora stood in the middle with Liam on her left and Kris on her right. It was still a miracle how the latter graduated without failing any subjects. On Liam’s left stood Jackso
Trouble with the Devil Graduation
When Nora opened her eyes in the hospital, she saw a blurry figure in front of her eyes. She could feel two tubes fixed on her nose pumping oxygen and something clamped over her fingers. “Mom?” she called out weakly. Thalia Shahan immediately caught her daughter’s hand, and a tear escaped from her eyes. “Baby, you’re finally awake!” “Ashton, look, Nora’s awake.” She called out to her husband, who was napping on the couch. Hearing her voice, he opened his eyes with a start and walked over to the bed. “Nora, do you feel any pain? Let me call the doctor.” Ashton strode out and called the doctor. The doctor entered the ward and did a series of check-ups on her. After he was done, he turned at the couple. “Mr. and Mrs. Winston, don’t worry. Her operation was done by our best medical team, so there won’t be any aftereffects. After recuperating for a few days, she can be discharged.” The couple thanked the doctor before Thalia hugged
Trouble with the Devil The truth from all these years
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance of the mansion. A flurry of footsteps could be heard as a man entered the garden, accompanied by two guards. “Who is he, and why did he appear at this hour?” “Is he some big shot? I’ve never seen him in Kingstown before.” The crowd whispered among themselves, trying to discern the identity of the newcomer. At that moment, someone identified the badge on the uniform of the guards and cried in astonishment. “It’s Rick, from the Luxton family!” The man called Rick, who dressed in a gray suit, curled his lips upward. Seems like the people of Kingstown were not as ignorant as he thought Seeing the man, the expressions of several influential figures changed at once. Ryan rushed forward to welcome this esteemed guests. “Mr. Rick to what do I owe your presence here?” As far as he remembered, the Luxton family had never set their foot in Kingstown. Why would this in
Trouble with the Devil Save her
The heavy slap made Nora’s head buzz, and it took her a while to return to her senses. “Bitch! It’s because of you and your family that I am reduced into this state. Do you know how disgusting it is to be a kept man by a bunch of wealthy ladies? The women are old enough to be my grandmother, yet they torture me with all sorts of toys to pleasure themselves.” Nora almost vomited hearing his words, feeling disgusted. Alex yanked her hair, forcing her to look up. “Today, I’ll let you have a taste of every torture I’ve been through.” He flung her away mercilessly and turned around to pick a bag on his left. Nora shuddered at the sight of the various sex toys inside the bag. Her heart stuck in her throat, and her voice trembled. “Alex, you’d regret it.” Alex pinched Nora’s chin and smiled lewdly. “Don’t worry, darling. As long as I get to have sex with you, I’m ready to go to hell.” Nora felt goosebumps at this touch. “After
Trouble with the Devil Engagement
Stefan played the video on his phone which displayed the first floor of the Keaton’s mansion. Rather, it was surveillance footage that captured the entire incident. From the angle it was taken, it was unlikely that anyone had seen the camera. The video clearly showed that Esme had slipped on the ground while chasing Nora. Her fall had nothing to do with Nora, and it was but an accident. Stefan sighed in relief after watching the video. He didn’t need to think twice to know who the anonymous sender was. He immediately rushed inside the police station and submitted the evidence. After settling the paperwork, Nora was out of the police station. Stefan pulled her into a hug as soon as she was out and caressed her head. “It’s okay. Everything’s fine now.” Nora stood there like a lifeless puppet, her face drained of all color. She could not control herself and started bawling her eyes out as she leaned into his arms. ---
Trouble with the Devil Murder
Fortunately, the balcony was empty, so no one could hear their banter. Nora fell silent for a while before raising her voice. “Don’t shout at me.” Her emotions were already in turbulence and when Nancy provoked her, she couldn’t hold it in and lashed out at him. She knew she was in the wrong, but she was too proud to admit it. Liam gazed at her tiny face, which looked like she would cry any minute, causing a wave of panic over him. Frustrated, he raked his fingers through his hair and explained. “Idiot, the only woman I’ve touched is you, and you alone. You know about my illness but still are suspicious about me. Seriously, what the hell is wrong with you? The only woman I’ve ever desired is you. Do you think I would stoop as low to admit it if I’ve slept with another woman?” Nora sniffled and remained silent before replying shortly. “I hate you.” Saying that, she ran away embarrassedly. Liam didn’t know whether to laugh or cry
Trouble with the Devil I'm pregnant with his child
“What’s that?” “An invitation.” Kris lifted his head and glanced at Nora. “To Liam and Aaron’s birthday banquet.” Nora’s fingers that were moving on the phone paused. Two days from now, it would be 11th February and also Liam’s birthday. A few weeks ago, she had been the most excited for his birthday. Yet, everything seemed like an unattainable dream now. “Did Liam send it?” Kris shook his head. “The banquet is organized by Nancy.” Passing the invitation to Krystal, he took a seat across and seemed to be in deep thought. “What are you thinking?” “I don’t understand. With his personality, it’s impossible for him to be a puppet in someone’s hands. Why would he let them exploit him?” Krystal gave him a look. “Don’t forget he’s only 19. As outstanding as he is, he can’t go against a cunning and shrewd businessman all by himself.” “Or maybe because they have something against him, or rather
Trouble with the Devil Nothing but a pawn
Aaron shut the door behind and slapped Nancy on the face. “How dare you? Did you forget about our deal?”Nancy touched her face where she had been slapped and felt a metallic taste at the corner of her mouth.She squinted her eyes and lifted her hand, backhanding him across the face. “Fucking, loser, don’t you ever lay your hand on me again. I’m not Nora who would tolerate your temper. And what are you getting worked up for? She’s not dead yet.”Aaron wiped the corner of his lips that tore from the hit. Obviously, Nancy had not held herself back when she slapped him.Aaron sneered. “I shouldn’t have trusted you. I must have been blind to have colluded with you earlier.”That’s right.When Nancy learned about his little crush on Nora, she sought him out to join hands with her.Liam and Nora were very much in love, and it was becoming almost impossible to separate them.
