Nora opened her eyes to be welcomed by the brightness of the morning sun and a strong arm on her waist. In less than five seconds, everything that happened last night flashed in her mind and she felt like crying but stopped herself.She slowly moved William's hand off her and when she was almost successful, he pulled her back in, turned her to face him, and placed his leg on her. “Morning little princess,” William said, his eyes closed and a sweet smile on his face. Nora buried her head in his chest while blushing. She looked up and everything changed. She was no longer in William's arms or the room, she was standing in front of her high school gate. Confused about what was happening, she tried running away but everything changed again. She was standing and watching her younger self being beaten up by the people she once called friends.She tried to stop them but it seemed like they couldn't see or hear her.“Stop! Stop it! It hurts!” “Please stop,” Nora whispered and started to cr
“So, did you get any information out of him?” William asked the person who was on the other end of the call.“Yes boss, he said he was paid and instructed to be at the X club last night, and then…that happened with boss madam.”“By whom, did he give a name?” “Yes, he said the guy’s name was Nick and apparently, he was being blackmailed into doing it.”“Did you find anything about Nick?”“We asked around and found some interesting things about him. Turns out he is a dark web hacker who does a lot of dirty things and this is not the first time he's blackmailing people into doing this type of thing and he was spotted talking to Miss Sandra a couple of days ago.” I had a feeling she was going to do something to Nora so I put a tracking device in her phone the day she met Sandra.“Alright, is there anything else?”“What are we going to do about the guy from last night?”“Let him go, but give him a memorable warning, so he would never in his miserable life come to bear anything that belon
“What, what do you mean Nick has been caught!?” Sandra yelled to the phone.“He broke an arm and leg in the process while trying to escape,” Natalia replied. “How did you know, were you with them when this happened and they didn't take you too?”“I wasn't. I went to get something at a convention store a couple streets away and by the time I was heading back, he was being taken away with a broken arm and leg.” “Okay, okay. Did they see you?”“No, I, I don't think so.” “Okay, since you're not over there, it means they didn't see you so that's good,” Sandra said to the phone while walking around her room. “You need a place to hide. Stay there until I call or Nick calls you to come back.”“Is he that scary? I mean I didn't do anything.”“Is he that scary, are you even listening to yourself? He's Williams, of course, he's that scary. He probably knows where you are and is watching you right now. Just run, go hide, or do something.” Sandra said to the other person on the phone and ended
“It's been weeks since Mr O’Collenn called me and he hasn't said anything since then Sandra confessed that she was the one who tried to ruin my career and now I don't know if I should tell William about what his dad said that day and the money he sent, I mean I sent it back immediately but I don't know what to do now,” Nora said under her breath to Ann and looked down.“Wow, you have quite an amount of powerful and rich enemies even without you doing anything and just being with William. Okay, what do you feel or think you should do?” Anna asked, looking at Nora with a concerned look.“I don't know Ann, I mean I don't want to leave him and I think and feel like he needs me and I think I kind of need him too,” Nora said, playing with her fingers.“Oh my God, Nora you're in love with William!” Ann said excitedly, almost jumping out of her chair.“Oh my God Anna, can you stop? I don't think II means, I don't know.” Nora said, blushing.“You’re in love with him! Nora, I'm so happy for you
“Is that it?” “What?” Nora asked with a confused look.“Is that it, like that's why you were panicking?” William asked with a blank expression.“Well I mean yeah. Aren't you mad or something?”“Why would I be?” William asked with a smirk on his face.“I thought you were going to lash out or something.”“Why would I? I know my father would have done something like that just didn't expect it to be this soon. Wait, who am I kidding, I knew he was going to do it sooner than later. He's my dad and I'm his son.”Nora didn't say anything and was scared at William in shock.“What, are you disappointed that I'm not mad?” “No I mean, I'm not disappointed or anything, I'm just surprised that you didn't react that's all.” “Like I said, it was expected,” William said and smudged his shoulders looking at Nora with a sly smile, and pulled her closer to him that their lips were almost touching.Nora couldn't stop herself from blushing. She slyly slid both her hands around his neck and wrapped it.
“Why do you always come in and spoil all the fun? It's so annoying.” Beatrice said looking annoyed. “What did I do and besides you're not meant to be eavesdropping on what a husband and wife are doing in their room. Facts, I think it's time you moved out and moved into your apartment.”“What! Why? Because of that? Come to think of it, I think I do need to move out and come visit when my sweet and beautiful daughter-in-law gets pregnant.” Beatrice said in delight.“What!?” Nora asked in shock. “ Don't you think it's a bit too early for that?” “No, it's not.” “It is Mom, you can't put pressure on her, and come to think of it, I think this conversation is none of your business and is very inappropriate to discuss with you so let's please stop this conversation here and now,” William said, taking his seat beside Nora. “Besides, it's not like she's pregnant.” “Whatever William, I'm hungry,” Beatrice said, dishing the food and placing them on the dining table.After eating, bidding Ann
William woke up to his phone vibrating on the table beside the bed he picked it up to see seven missed calls for an unknown number. He looked at the time and it was five minutes past three am.“Who the fuck is this bothering me so early in the morning?" William asked himself looking at the number. Not recognizing it, he dropped it back and almost immediately, his phone started to ring again.“Who the fuck is this?” William asked immediately after he picked up the call. “William, Why don't you pick up your phone, there's a problem and I need your help.”“Jordan?” “Will.”“Jordan what the fuck do you fucking want? And why are you calling me with an unknown number?” William asked, annoyed.“I need your help!”“With what? It's f**king 3 am. Didn't you check the time?” “I need help, I'm in trouble.”William Gronrd stood up angrily and walked towards the balcony, opened the glass door and walked out. “Speak and please summarize it, you talk too much.”“F**k you. So here's what happened:
“Mrs Nora, are you okay? You seem to be in pain judging from the way you are walking.” Lexy asked In concern and looked at Nora.“No I'm fine, I slipped and fell yesterday because the floor wasn't dried yet and it was a really hard wood,” Nora said, trying her best to not blush and cursing Williams in her head.“Hum, don't you need to go to the doctor?” “No, it's fine, it'll heal,” Nora said, taking her seat in front of the mirror.“Are you sure?”“Yes Lex I'm fine. Thanks for the concern.” Nora said, giving Lexy a warm smile. “Okay, then the make-up artist should be here in a few. In the meantime, I would like to tell you your schedule for the week. May I?”“Yes, go on.” “Okay, today you have three photoshoots, the first one is by noon and ends by 12:30 pm, the other is by 03:00 pm and ends by 03:30 pm and the last one by 04:00 pm ends by 05:00 pm. The three scenes for the movie today all are in the morning, lucky you. You have two talk shows etc.Nora stopped listening after hea
