His promises
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56That night in the bar, Sean had asked him. “Do you love her?”
The answer he gave him was silence.
At that moment, he didn’t know what love meant.
Before he met her, he felt lonely.
His life only revolved around eating, sleeping, and rebelling against his father.
But after she came into his life, he found a reason to live.
He loved to tease her, watch her speak endlessly about things she loved.
Holding her in his arms was the source of warmth to his heart.
He loved it when she would get worked up, even at the tiniest thing.
Life was not that boring anymore!
She had become his only salvation.
But then, he had to fuck up.
He knew he had an illness beyond cure and would never be able to give her a complete version of himself.
He also knew that perhaps after everything he’d done to her, she would never accept him.
Despite everything, he selfishly wa
AeraDo you guys think Nora should forgive Liam and give him a second chance or should continue to keep a distance from him?

Trouble with the Devil Beat him to death
“The number you have dialed is now busy please try again later.” Came the mechanical voice from the receiver. Nora looked at the black screen, her body turning chilly. From the time she has been at Liam’s, her brother hadn’t called or messaged her. Initially, she thought he was as usual busy with work and hence didn’t contact her. But now, she couldn’t stop her thoughts from wandering. Forget about him, even his secretary didn’t bother to leave a message on his behalf for her. If not for the updates she received in the family group chat, she would have definitely assumed that he met with some problems. Although she wanted to believe him, the words Liam told her the other day never once stopped playing in her mind. If her brother really cared about her, why wouldn’t he answer her calls? Was he really that busy to even drop a message? He had promised her he would come home du
Trouble with the Devil The truth
The night was long, and the torture inside the room never seemed to die. Two hours. For two whole hours, Nora watched him get beaten up in front of her eyes. The guards inhumanly tortured him and did not care if he lived or not. Her gut tightened at the gruesome sight, her breathing becoming rapid. She felt helpless, for not being able to do anything for him. Watching how a sharp blade was stabbed in his shoulder, the brass knuckles pierced his chest. She silently watched him go through the agonizing pain and finally pass out when he could no longer hold it. “Enough.” Ryan stopped his men, and the guards backed off. He walked in front of Liam, who lay on the floor, and sneered at his bloody face. Turning around, he had just lifted his leg when he landed a heavy kick on Liam’s chest without a warning. “Son of a bastard.” he spat. Nora stopped crying and looked at Ryan
Trouble with the Devil The truth (2)
“In fact, I already know what happened between you two in the school the other day. It was his second personality active in the body and when you accidentally kissed him, it triggered his anger.” Nora’s eyelashes trembled. She could not believe there was so much she was unaware of. She really found it hard to believe that Liam not only had a bipolar disorder but also such a severe mental illness. He was handsome, a genius prodigy, and admired by many. He was a real winner in life. How could such a proud and willful person like him have such a serious mental illness? Life would really play a cruel joke on you sometimes. When it gives you something, it also takes a lot in return. “What about his family? Why would his father hurt him?” Nora asked. “Apparently, when Liam and his twin brother Aaron were born, a monk had foretold their future. According to him, Liam was a jinx who would cause the downfa
Trouble with the Devil He was tired
Trigger warning: The following chapter contains violence and self-harm. Read at your own risk. Liam was six years old when his father caught his mother in an affair. When his parents confronted each other, they admitted they had a frequent change of bed partners outside. That was when his life had taken a turn for the worst and he knew things would never be as before again. His family, which once used to be harmonious, was broken apart. When he was fourteen, he fell in love with a girl. She was beautiful, had a shapely figure, and was a tremendously vital person. She was honest and very good at adapting. Just like his type. However, one fine day, he received an anonymous message that asked him to go to a hotel room. After he entered the hotel room, the said girlfriend, who was too shy to even hold hands with him, was
Trouble with the Devil Get her out
Opening his eyes, the first thing that entered his line of sight was Nora’s beautiful, sleeping face. She had stayed up all night to look after him and had only slept at the dawn, tiredness apparent on her face. His eyes fell on his hand, which was held tightly under hers. He stared at her blankly while self-realizing. He knew he could not go on like this. Life could not go on like this. If he wanted to give her a home, he needed to fight off his demons. If he wanted to have a future with her, he couldn’t continue to fall weak. What happened yesterday would certainly happen tomorrow. He had decided to spend the rest of his life with her and once his father gets wind of it, he would spare no means to come after her. Nora was his bottom line. If he couldn’t even protect the person he wanted to protect, then he had wasted h
Trouble with the Devil Kristopher Steele
Nora sauntered towards the door sleepily, her eyes half-closed, and opened the door. The person at the other sized her up in disdain. She was dressed in her pajamas, her hair all messed up, and still half asleep. The person was rather familiar with her and had expected her to be something like this. Sure enough, Nora never disappointed him. He stretched out his hand and rubbed her head forcefully. “Wake up, you sleepyhead.” Nora saw stars after being moved in this way but froze when she heard the voice. She slapped the hand that was still messing with her hair and covered her mouth in shock. “No way.” She murmured. She rubbed her eyes vigorously to make sure she wasn’t seeing things right. The man shook his head and did not humor her. He purposefully bumped into her shoulder and welcomed himself, rolling his luggage inside. He made
Trouble with the Devil Apologising her
“Let me go.” Nora gritted her teeth. Before Kris could open his mouth, they heard a voice from the side. “It’s only the first day of school, and Nora already has the new student seduced.” Reyna’s sarcastic voice came from the side. Nora’s face turned pale when she looked at Reyna’s meaningful eyes. If it was any other day, Nora would have come backed. But now she was hesitant. What if she spills about what happened in the school the other day? After all, Reyna had watched and started the whole thing live. Kris rubbed his ears and asked, annoyed. “Why is this bitch farting early morning?” The class immediately burst into laughter. This new kid was cool! It was the first time that Nora foundKris pleasing to the eyes. Reyna was dumbfounded. She did not expect the new student to humiliate her in front of everyone. She wanted to retort, but she
Trouble with the Devil Can I be your boyfriend?
Nora walked blankly in the corridors. Suddenly, a large hand grabbed her and pulled her inside an empty classroom. Shocked, Nora was ready to sock that person out, but stopped when she heard the familiar deep and magnetic voice. “It’s me.” The man buried his face into the crook of her neck, hugging her tightly When the familiar scent filled her nose, Nora’s eyes turned red, and she gradually relaxed. She stretched her hands and hugged him back tightly. Before she could say anything, she heard his voice again, “I thought you didn’t want me anymore.” Liam mumbled. Nora chuckled. Wasn’t that something she should be worried about? She had been drowning in worries when he didn’t contact her. The lack of response from him almost made her feel like whatever happened last month was just a dream. How could she not want him? She burie

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.
