Alexander Steele, the enigmatic and undoubtedly attractive boy who seemed to carry an air of mischief about him."He looks good to look at, but he, Alexander, can be a royal jerk," Veronica warned, nudging Nora playfully.Nora just smiled, dismissing Veronica's cautionary words.

In his eyes You have a lot of nerve
Nora hurriedly went to the adjoining room to grab diapers and wipes. In those few moments, the course of their lives took a tragic turn. When she returned, her heart sank at the sight before her – Saint was choking.Panic gripped the room, and they rushed the baby to the nearest medical facility. The air was thick with fear and desperation. Nora clutched the baby in her trembling hands, unable to comprehend the nightmare unfolding. She was gone for only a few seconds, everything looked like a dream. The medical staff, usually so composed, now moved with urgency. The emergency room door swung open, and they took Saint from Nora's arms. Nora followed them still in shock, her mind couldn't comprehend what was going on. "wait here Ma'am", a nurse said and Nora stopped in her tracks. Time seemed to stand still as the medical team worked frantically, trying to save the precious life hanging in the balance.The waiting room felt like a vacuum of despair, where each second stretched into an
In his eyes Start talking
Nora strained to make eye contact with Veronica, attempting to convey urgency through her gaze, but Veronica seemed oblivious to the silent plea. "Come on in," Alexander insisted, and Veronica, unaware of the danger that lurked within, entered the house. As soon as Veronica shut the door behind her, the atmosphere in the room shifted.Alexander, swift and decisive, revealed the gun, his voice a low, menacing growl, "Sit your pregnant self down there." Nora's heart pounded, and Veronica gasped, her eyes widening in shock. "What is going on here?" Veronica asked, her voice trembling, as she nervously took a seat beside Nora's anxious parents. The tension in the room thickened, the unspoken threat hanging in the air, creating an unsettling silence broken only by the muffled sounds of the outside world."You see, Veronica, I was about to rid the world of this woman. She killed my son and cheated on me," Alexander declared, resuming the menacing position of pointing the gun at Nora's templ
In his eyes You'll have to kill me first!
Nora's agitation echoed through the room, her pacing a reflection of the turmoil within. Greg, realizing the depth of his misstep, remained silent, acutely aware that words could only deepen the rift."You mean you gave my daughter a cellphone without talking to me first?" Nora said she couldn't believe Graycen had started keeping secrets from her. She continued her restless pacing, each step punctuating her growing annoyance. "It is the audacity for me," she muttered, more to herself than to Greg.Greg attempted to explain, "I only did that because she had been crying to her teacher that she wanted to see me."Nora halted abruptly, turning to face him with a mix of incredulity and anger. "How come her teacher didn't tell me she'd rather call you, as her father or what?" Her eyes bore into Greg, demanding an explanation, Greg knew better than to speak. The room, once a haven from external turmoil, now reverberated with the tension between them. Nora's frustration hung heavy, an unspo
In his eyes Listen to her
"Before you say anything, know that I have already spoken to the paediatrician, so choose your words carefully," Alexander warned, his voice cutting through the tense air. His mother, recognizing the gravity of the situation, held her ground but couldn't mask the fear in her eyes."That child has been dead for years, Alexander, put the gun away!" Alexander's father, typically composed, demanded, shocked at the unfolding scene. "You have gotten so trigger-happy of late. How could you shoot your best friend? I was able to get you out on bail, but you know the state will charge you to court. So go and prepare for the court proceedings. " Alexander's response was a dry, humourless laugh. "So you've heard. I will handle the case, and don't change the subject. I came here for answers. If I could shoot Sebastian for touching what is mine, then imagine what I would do for Saint," he said, his eyes cold and determined, the pistol aimed squarely at his mother."The girl was a gold digger from
In his eyes The world's weight
Nora hurried through the antiseptic-scented corridors of the hospital, her steps echoing the urgency of her mission. She had to find Sebastian, Alexander's friend, the only person who might understand the gravity of the situation.As she approached Sebastian's room, she saw him sitting by the window, lost in thought. His eyes, once lively, carried the shadows of concern. "Sebastian," she called softly, not wanting to startle him.He turned, and his face lit up with a mixture of surprise and relief. "Nora, what brings you here?" he asked, concern etched across his features."I need to talk to you. It's about Alexander," Nora replied, taking a seat beside him.Sebastian's expression shifted to one of deep concern. "What happened? Is he okay?""He came to my house yesterday with a gun," Nora revealed, her voice quivering with the weight of the truth. "If the police hadn't arrived when they did, I don't know what would have happened to me and my family."Sebastian's eyes widened, and shoc
In his eyes Court room
Nora stood in the witness box, a solemn hush descending over the courtroom. The weight of the Bible in her hands felt both grounding and burdensome. Her heart raced, a palpable thud echoing in her ears, as she swore to tell the truth.Nora was consciously avoiding Alexander's eyes. The air seemed charged, tension thick enough to cut with a knife. She dared not look at him, for fear that the tumult of emotions within her might spill out.The gallery watched with a mix of curiosity and judgment, their collective gaze intensifying the pressure on her. The lawyers, clad in sharp suits, posed questions that unravelled the threads of her life, forcing her to relive moments she would rather forget.The swell of emotions threatened to engulf her, but Nora clung to the Bible in her hands, finding strength in the oath she had just taken. It was a promise to truth, a commitment to untangle the web of lies that had ensnared her life.Alexander's eyes burned into the side of her face, but she dared
In his eyes Memories
Miley's voice quivered as she cleared her throat, "Greg, I am deeply sorry about what happened between us," she started. "There was so much I needed to tell you, but I was mostly ashamed of myself." A heavy silence hung in the air as Greg remained stoic, prompting Miley to continue, "I was the only child of my parents. My father was a billionaire, and everything was rosy for my family and me until he was arrested for tax evasion. He was billed about two hundred billion dollars," Miley said, her voice cracking with the weight of her past."I remember my father frantically trying to sell off some of our assets to pay the fine. We moved from the upper class down to nothing. My mother couldn't stand the humiliation and took the money raised to pay the IRS and left my dad; she left us. That was not even the painful part. I discovered my dad had a congenital heart disease and desperately needed surgery," Miley said, her voice breaking with the emotional toll of the memories."My dad needed t
