2024-10-29 19:42:56Nora’s POV
My words caught up in my throat as I did not expect to come across him.
As I stared at him blankly, he cleared his throat, snapping me back to reality.
I nodded at him. “It is.”
This was not good. I couldn’t be seen with him.
I really have to give it to him, though. Ever since I met him near the locker room, he was resolute on going out with me. His repeated attempts annoyed me thoroughly. Although I ignored him on the campus in every way, he was like a disaster that couldn’t be avoided.
I started thinking of a way to get rid of him. But he didn’t look like he had any intention to leave soon.
Picking a random book from the shelf, he asked, flipping through the pages. “You love to read novels?”
“I do,” I mum

Nora’s POV I arrived at Jessica’s house and layon her bed, staring at the ceiling. Both her parents workedand hence Jessica and her younger sister would have the house to themselves. “What? Miss me already?” Jessica teased while coming out of the bathroom. “I met him,” I confessed. “Who?” “Alex Rivera.” “What?” she asked, stunned. “I said I met Alex Rivera,” I repeated. She threw her towel on a nearby chairand snapped. “Are you crazy, Nora? Didn’t I-“ “Dude, relax,” I cut her off. “He came to me while I was in the library, not the other way round okay.” She took a deep breath. “What did you guys talk about?” I recalledthe entire thing that happened. “He seems persistent. Still, are you sure you didn’t give him any hints because he’s handsome?” she asked suspiciously. I rolled my eyesat her. Well,

On the second floor. With every move she took, she stirred the hearts of all the people present. Nora was not a professional dancer or someone who danced frequently, but her moves were clear and graceful.Maybe it was the wine that took control over her, or maybe because she was in a good mood, she found herself completely lost in the rhythm.As her body moved, the men in the room were all eyeing at her with shrewd gazes, about to pounce on her any moment. Suddenly, a hand snaked around her waist from behind and was spun around. Turning around, Nora met those dark grey eyes that stared at her dangerously. The familiar smell filled her nostrils. As she was tipsy, she didn’t push him away. Instead, she put her arms around his neck and moved her body along to the music. Liam held her soft waist, and they started dancing. Several people were on the dance floor, and their bodies were pres

Liam stood there quietly in the silent night. The nights in Kingstown were always cold. Added to that, they were now standing at the top, Nora was hit with the chilly breeze. Holding her trembling body, Liam hurriedly got down from the railings and pulled her down. When they reached the car, Nora suddenly pounced on him from behind.She hugged his strong waist, refusing to let him go. Liam stiffened before turning around and held her. “What’s wrong?” “It’s cold.” Nora hugged him tightly. Liam let her hug him and opened the car door and sat inside before pulling Nora on his laps. Snuggling into his embrace, she tried to absorb as much warmth as she could from his body. Liam turned on the heater and pulled the seat behind so they could sit comfortably. Putting her small hands in his broad palm, he rubbed them. Tonight, she wore a s
Trouble with the Devil Tutor her
The following week, Liam did not show up in the school. Nora sent him countless messages and emails, but he did not answer any of them. Even Jackson did not know about his whereabouts. Nora was concerned but somewhat frustrated at how he would disappear telling no one. That was until one day when the school held a meeting with the students for their upcoming term ends, did he show up. Entering the class, as usual, Nora’s first reaction was to see if he was present or not. After seeing the familiar figure, she was elated. Today, he was wearing a round-neck black sweater with a white shirt underneath whose collars rested on the top of the sweater. He looked devastatingly hot. It was a blessing to see such a handsome face early morning. She put down her bag and greeted him cheerfully. “Morning!” Liam, who was fiddling on his phone, grunted in acknowledgment. It was onl
Trouble with the Devil Fight over lunch
After school, Nora was immediately pulled into the student union’s office by Liam. He planned on taking her out but then realized his father’s men were keeping a tab on him everywhere. The only place safe right now was his office. Nora also agreed with his arrangements. They were nearing completing the project, and she could ask him to help her in her studies. Their takeout was yet to be delivered, so Nora took the time to explain to Liam the errors in the reports. At that moment, the door to the office opened and Nancy strutted in, swaying her hips. “You’re such a workaholic! It’s already so late and you are still working.” She exclaimed as soon as she entered. Hearing the voice, Nora raised her head and stared at Nancy, wondering if the latter had nothing to do with her life. As long as she had free time, she would come looking for Liam.
Trouble with the Devil The big bad wolf
Nora and Jessica walked inside the cafeteria and sat at their usual table where two girls, Tori and Bree, awaited their arrival. Tori had strawberry blonde hair and narrow eyes whereas Bree had black eyes and brunette hair. The two of them weren’t considered close to Nora and Jessica but nevertheless enjoyed each other’s company. The atmosphere there was, as usual, peaceful. Sofia, the timid blonde girl, had also fit well among their group. Usually, she would accompany Liam and others. The boys back there would always engage in a conversation that made her easily embarrassed and hence she thought it was a good time to broaden her contacts and now spent most of the time with Nora. On various occasions, she would invite Nancy over, too. But the latter always stuck to Liam like glue. And knowing her personality, Sofia wouldn’t push her further. Though Nor
Trouble with the Devil Exams
Nora entered the office, and the scene that greeted her left her stunned. Behind the desk, a devastatingly hot Liam sat working on the computer. He wore a dark green shirt and black pants. The gold-rimmed glasses rested on the bridge of his nose, further adding to his charms. Nora admitted, Men looked sexier when they worked. Sensing her entrance, Liam paused his meeting and raised his head. “Wait for a while. I’ll be done soon.” His deep voice resounded, and he went back to his work. Nora snapped back from her daze and replied. “Oh... okay!” Walking over to the couch, she sat down and started with her revision. While solving the questions, she sneaked glances at the man. After thirty minutes, a loud bang echoed in the room. Plopping on the table, Nora let out a frustrated groan. Thirty minutes! That was the maximum she could hold herself up. Just looking at the numbers gav
Trouble with the Devil I like you
After exiting the regular building, Jessica went to look for Jackson while I went to the special building. For the last few days, Liam has been ignoring me for god knows what reasons. His face was naturally cold, but recently it looked so dark that even dogs were afraid to go near him. As such, everyone on the campus avoided him like a plague. I had long gotten to his mood swings. Knowing his temperament, I stayed within my boundaries lest it would provoke him. But today was an exception. Next month I would be leaving for Australia and before that, a few of our friends planned to go camping. I could have informed Liam via message, likewise avoiding him, but I thought it would be better to tell him in person. Pushing the door inside, I entered the office, only to find silence in the room. I searched around, but there were no signs of Liam in the cold room. Like the owner, ev

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.
