All Chapters of Trouble with the Devil: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Bradford High Rowan Reyes, the homeroom teacher, took out his handkerchief and wiped off the sweat from his forehead for umpteen times. The pressure in the room was chilling, making him suffocated and sweat profusely. At last, he couldn’t take anymore and stood up, slamming the table. “Miss Nora Shahan, why are you staring at me as if I’ve asked for your share of inheritance? It's just a project.” She was just a petite high school girl, but if looks could kill, he could have been long dead from the glare she threw at him. And the ancestor beside her was even more terrifying than her. God! What crime did he commit in his last life to have these two troublemakers as his students? In the last row, Nora, who was shooting daggers at the teacher, scoffed at his nonsense. Just a project? He called it just a project? Apparently, the students were grouped for a project for their upcoming summit. And blame it on her unfortunate luck, she was paired with Liam. No, she wasn’t actually pa

Two hours later, Nora was finally done with the reports.  As it was late, they had moved to the special building. Stretching out her hands, she packed her stuff and placed the reports on the table.  Meanwhile, Liam was also done playing on his phone. He did not look at the file and placed it inside the drawer. “I’ll check it out tomorrow.” “Suit yourself” she grabbed her bag and walked out of the office.  Liam followed behind in unhurried steps.  As they neared the elevator, Nora halted in her tracks and asked over her shoulders. “Why are you following me?”  Liam felt the urge to roll his eyes at her. Stretching out his legs, he bumped into her shoulders. “Please.” He entered the elevator.  Nora stood on her spot, her eyes moving to the man inside the elevator. “In or not?” Liam asked when he saw her standing still in her place. Nora snorted and s

God knew how much he had to restrain himself from pulling her into his arms. Were the heavens finally noticing his efforts? Liam was, in fact, aware of everything. The way she was striking a conversation with him and doing errors to make him talk to her. Actually, he didn’t mean to ignore her, but now that he thought about it, it was absolutely worth it. And the girl was so fucking adorably cute. Although she was trying her best to hide the obviousness, her eyes terribly gave her away. She didn’t know, but his attention was always on her. And when Nancy arrived, he wasn’t oblivious to the hostility she showed towards her. It was the same he had whenever she was with her boy toy. That only made him further happy, and his eye crinkled into a smile that even he wasn’t aware of. He never had the intention to leave her alone or push the workload on her. Therefore, when Nancy proposed for lunch, he stalled her. It was a rare opportunity for them to be together, and he wasn’t stupid t

Nora’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

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
