Lahat ng Kabanata ng Trouble with the Devil: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

“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

“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

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

“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 found Kris 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

Liam sat leisurely on the bed as if it was his own and smiled at her.  “What are you doing here?” Nora turned around and locked the door before striding towards the bed. “I missed you,” Liam replied, patting the other side of the bed.  Nora climbed up and dived into his arms. “How did you come up?” This was the 18th floor. He could not have climbed his way up, right?  Liam jerked his chin at the window.  “No way.” Nora did not believe him.  It was impossible for someone to climb to the 18th floor unless he had some superpowers.  Liam let out a long sigh at how slow she was. “Let me introduce myself. I’m Liam Keaton, your new neighbor.”  Nora widened her eyes. “For real?”  “When have I ever lied to you? ” Nora recalled that the unit opposite them was currently vacant for a long time. However, she wasn’t aware tha
