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   I loved you

    Another night, another trouble at the Heavenly Pavillion. Liam unlocked the door and entered the room. The entire bedroom was covered in darkness. Keeping the keys on the table, he switched on the lights and was shocked to see the mess in front of him. Pillows, covers, clothes, papers littered around the room. Was his room under theft? Liam walked around carefully in order to avoid tripping. He searched for the perpetrator, only to find her sprawled on the giant beanbag chair on the balcony. There were a few empty and unopened liquor bottles on her sides. Looking at the shadow, Nora looked over. Her eyes twinkle under the light. She let out a gasp. So handsome! She tilted her head to the side and asked flirtatiously. “Beauty, how much do you charge per night?” Liam stopped in his tracks, and his face darkened. Did she freaking take him for an escort?

  • Trouble with the Devil   His promises

    That 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

  • 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   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. ---

    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

    “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

    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.
