Nora's POV“Honey, which of the halls in Holland Hotel do you think would be better for Bella's birthday celebration?” I yelled at the top of my lungs, hoping that Rufus would hear me from where the bathroom was.“The hall downstairs, it's more spacious” Rufus replied from the shower, making me grinI can't wait for Thursday. It's my best friend's birthday, and I am more excited about it than the celebrant herself. She will be so shocked when she finds out. Bella had said she didn't plan on celebrating her birthday this year because what is it celebrating the big 27 when you're single and searching? That girl's crazy, I tell you. She is just so selective, I've set her on blind dates over and over again, but not one is she interested in. She always has a reason not to like them. Anyway, I have invited some more eligible bachelors for her birthday. It has to be a birthday to remember.“How's is going?” Rufus asked immediately he came out of the bathroom. He stood behind me as he watch
Nora's pov…“Hello baby” I answered the call as I drove out of Bella's apartment. She sat beside me, in the passenger's seat, while I sat in the driver's seat.The phone was placed on speaker, so I could answer the call while driving.“I got the contract signed with them, honey!” Rufus announced.“Ahhhh!” I literally screamed in excitement when I heard the good news.“Congratulations my baby. This calls for a celebration” “Of course, honey, I'll see you at—”“I'm with Bella right now, and I'm taking her for some shopping. It's her birthday today” I cut in so that he doesn't blow the surprise party out to the celebrant.“Ohhh” My baby boo understands me so well.“That is amazing. Happy birthday, Bella” “Thank you so much, Rufus. Congratulations on your done deal” She also smiled and he appreciated her“I'll see you later, baby. Goodbye, I love you” “I love you too,” I said before ending the call. “Rufus just loves you so much” “Yes, he does” “You see why I don't want to go for ju
** The next day **Nora's pov…“Bella, can you hurry up? I can't be waiting for you all day. We are only going to the mall, not some fashion show” I gr umped. I know Bella takes her time to dress up, but it was getting too much these days. She would spend a lot of time in the bathroom, then before the mirror, then in the wardrobe. Today is just worse because she had been there all morning! And we were only going to the mall.“I'm almost done” she yelled from her room and I scoffed, “Almost done since twenty minutes ago,” I argued, and she laughed. Less than five minutes later, she stepped out wearing black trousers, and a blue crop top, her hair was tied in a ponytail and her face on makeup. I don't know how she does it that she could make herself so beautiful by herself. I won't dare take so long in dressing my face, I'll only ruin it more. I don't know what to do with the mascara or which color of lipstick to use. It's the more reason I stay natural with the excuse of natural b
Nora's POV Bella had been living with us and things has been going well, or so I thought. I had forgotten the last doctor's report at home as I head to the doctor's for an appointment. I had to go back home for it. I know I was running late, but the doctor had specifically asked me to bring it along with me today. If Rufus had not been in the office, I would have called him for help. On getting to the house, I had to just park my car outside so that it would be easy for me to leave. I walked past the gate, only to see the car Rufus had used earlier today. Did he forget something too? I wondered. As I walked into the house, I paused when I heard arguments. What were they arguing about? It was Rufus and Bella, I can't be mistaken, what happened?“And I've told you that I have it under control!” Rufus yelled, shocking me to the core. I have never heard Rufus yell like that before. He was never this angry around me. What is going on?I walked closer, only to realize that they were i
Nora's POVSlowly, I opened my eyes to see myself in what I can describe as the hospital. I blinked my tears away when I recalled all that had happened to me. This isn't the plan, this was definitely not the plan Rufus and I made. How dare he betray me like this?The door to the hospital pushed open, and I saw my sister walk in, “Nora, you're awake” she rushed to my side. “Hey” I replied weakly, I wanted to tell her she was right all along about Bella. I wanted to explain all that happened to her, but instead, I found myself crying bitterly.“Hey, hey, why are you crying? There's no need to cry. I'll go get the doctor” And before I could say a word, she had dashed out of the room.A few minutes later, Mary and the doctor came into the room.“Hello Mrs. Williams, how are you feeling now?” He asked me and I wiped my tears before nodding.“I'm okay. Thank you”. “Well, I'm sure you must have noticed why you fainted by now” I blinked as I didn't understand his words. What does he mean
Nora's Pov "Nora—" “There's no need to speak, Rufus. This wedding can only continue after I've signed the divorce paper”. I interrupted trying to act bold and confident even though I was hurting right inside of me. "You know that's not possible, as you can see, the wedding ceremony between I and Rufus is ongoing and there's nothing you can do about it. So, I would advise you to kindly hold your peace till the marriage ceremony is over." Bella fired at me and I balled my fist, tears were threatening to fall from my eyes. It's still so unbelievable that the same Bella I have known for years is the one saying this to me. She didn't only stab me in my back but also tore my heart into shreds. By now, the guests in the wedding hall were already making videos of the drama that was happening between me, Bella and Rufus' family. "And if you can't stand watching them become a couple, I would advise you to leave this hall immediately!" His mother suddenly yelled at me and I smiled painful
Rufus pulled off his suit jacket and threw it on the floor angrily, now this doesn't make sense to him anymore."I can't do this father, I can't hurt Nora like this, it's not just making sense!" Rufus yelled at his parents and his mother glared at him angrily."Have you gone insane? The wedding between you and Bella has already started and there's no turning back. We didn't force you to come here in the first place so get back to your god damned senses!" His mother yelled back at him and he folded his fist.Almost every single person in the church was making videos, no one was showing interest in resolving the issue of ground.Even the priest was already tired of standing, it's taking forever to join the couples."But you and father threatened me to come here! It was never my wish to get married to Bella even though she is pregnant with my child. I hope you all are happy since you've ruined my home, I hope you're now satisfied?" Rufus yelled, feeling so pained.He suddenly
** A secret Villa **"Rufus Williams, the fifth richest Billionaire in New his wife and got married to her best friend at the church. Here are photos and videos to prove that they got married behind the…" Seraphina appeared and switched off the T.V immediately,she stared at Nora who was sitting on the floor, her legs were hugged to her chest as tears kept rolling down her cheeks. Seraphina sighed and went to meet her.Since the reporters flooded Seraphina's home, they had to go to Nora's secret Villa which isn't known by anyone except for the two women.She bought the villa last month which costs a fortune without Rufus's knowledge.She actually wanted to go on a two week vacation with Rufus at the Villa once summer came but he messed things up."It's okay Nora, you have been crying for hours without stopping, you haven't tasted anything since yesterday, you should try and eat at least." Seraphina urged and Nora sniffed without saying a word to her."You can't keep on crying like th
