Nora entered the office, and the scene that greeted her left her stunned.
Behind the desk, a devastatingly hot Liam sat working on the computer.
He wore a dark green shirt and black pants. The gold-rimmed glasses rested on the bridge of his nose, further adding to his charms.
Nora admitted, Men looked sexier when they worked.
Sensing her entrance, Liam paused his meeting and raised his head. “Wait for a while. I’ll be done soon.” His deep voice resounded, and he went back to his work.
Nora snapped back from her daze and replied. “Oh... okay!”
Walking over to the couch, she sat down and started with her revision.
While solving the questions, she sneaked glances at the man.
After thirty minutes, a loud bang echoed in the room.
Plopping on the table, Nora let out a frustrated groan.
Thirty minutes!
That was the maximum she could hold herself up. Just looking at the numbers gav
After exiting the regular building, Jessica went to look for Jackson while I went to the special building. For the last few days, Liam has been ignoring me for god knows what reasons. His face was naturally cold, but recently it looked so dark that even dogs were afraid to go near him. As such, everyone on the campus avoided him like a plague. I had long gotten to his mood swings. Knowing his temperament, I stayed within my boundaries lest it would provoke him. But today was an exception. Next month I would be leaving for Australia and before that, a few of our friends planned to go camping. I could have informed Liam via message, likewise avoiding him, but I thought it would be better to tell him in person. Pushing the door inside, I entered the office, only to find silence in the room. I searched around, but there were no signs of Liam in the cold room. Like the owner, ev
Jealous? Slut? Boyfriend stealer? I balled my fists and clench my teeth so hard that it was hurting. How shameless of him to say that I am the one chasing after him when it was him pestering me all the way! I could practically feel smoke coming out of my nose as my body trembled. And Sofia, this stupid bitch. I knew it. I just knew it. This was why I had warned her against men like Alex because I knew, given her personality, she was bound to be taken advantage of by them. I had good intentions and didn’t want her to suffer because I genuinely considered her as my friend. But I didn’t know that this wretched would trust this freaking bastard over me. There was not a time when I haven’t saved her every time she got bullied. Not a time went by when I didn’t treat her as one of my people. And this is what I get in the end. I was so done doing good for people!
Nora did not know what was in the pictures that Alex showed Sofia, but from their conversation, she was positive that he was following her every move. Wasn’t that the biggest evidence? Only fools like Sofia would believe them. Besides, she still had a few letters Alex sent her every day. She would then see how he dares to remain arrogant. Sofia grew terrified, fear written all over her face. She was immediately reminded of what Alex told her. ‘If I don’t accept her, she wouldn’t let me live in peace' She didn’t need to think twice because she knew what Nora was capable of. She hastily caught Nora and convulsed her. “If you want to get revenge, come at me. Don’t hurt Alex, he’s innocent. It has got nothing to do with him.” “Let go,” Nora warned. But as though Sofia had lost her mind, she screeched at her like a madwoman. “You’re a bitch, a fucking damn whore who keeps spread
I tried to minimize my presence and quietly leave the office without alerting the adulterous pair, but blame it on my bad luck I accidentally kicked the chair in front of me, which fell with a thud. The noise startled the two, and the PE teacher yelled in panic. “Who is it?” I wished so badly I could slap myself in the face right now, wondering why the heck I couldn’t avoid getting into trouble. “I think someone is in the office. But who could it be? All the staff members are in the assembly hall.” Ms. Marie asked, confused. “What if it’s a student?” the PE teacher guessed. Ms. Marie’s expression changed immediately, and she shouted. “Crap! What are you waiting for? Don’t let them get away or we’ll be in big trouble.” I somehow scrambled out of the office and ran across the hallways. I assumed they wouldn’t go all out, but boy, I was wrong. The PE teacher chased
That day during the PE break, Nora had seen Liam entering the science laboratory. She was surprised to find him in the lab when everyone else was on the ground. Her eyes lit up at once when she thought how she would stumble upon his secret inside and hence followed him sneakily. When she entered the lab, however, reality proved to be different. What she saw differed totally from what she had imagined. The so-called secret did not exist. Instead, she noticed Liam behaved abnormally and seemed to have difficulty in breathing. “Are you okay, Liam?” She walked towards him, and before her hands could touch him, Liam flung her away mercilessly. “Get Lost.” Shocked by his sudden outburst, Nora was confused. The boy in front of her began clutching his hair as he groaned in pain. She wanted to go over and help him but didn’t know-how. Just as she was contemplating, he paused
These students were truly vicious. They did not care if their actions would severely injure her. All they had in their mind was to enjoy her miserable state. The scalding hot soup ran down her head, burning her scalp. Any normal person would have fainted from the intense pain. To make things more exciting, the students picked up tomatoes and water balloons, assaulting her. Throughout, Nora did not even let out a whimper. On the exterior, she had put up a strong front, but internally she was at her breaking point. She wanted someone to come to her rescue, but it was a pity that the person who had promised to protect her till the end was the same who had caused her to be in this state. At that moment she did not know what hurt more, her body or her heart. Finally, she broke down her limits and as her scalp began tingling in pain, hot tears st
Nora returned to her condo and rushed straight inside the bathroom. She removed her clothes hastily and climbed inside the bathtub that was already filled with cold water. She rubbed her skin with the bath scrub till her skin turned red. It was as if in this way it would wash off all her pain and endless humiliation she had suffered today. At last, she was tired of all the scrubbing and buried her face in her knees. Her shoulders trembled as she cried miserably. A melodious ringtone resounded in the bathroom. Her cell phone buzzed inside the pocket of her jacket. The voice of the cell phone seemed to have not drifted past Nora’s ears. The phone continued ringing, and it was only after she found the noise to be too irksome did she reach out for it. Glancing at the bright screen, she saw it was her brother calling. Nora hurriedly answered the call. “Hello.” A magnetic
Heavenly Pavillion The villas in Primrose street were divided into specific classes. The best undoubtedly belonged to the owner of Heavenly Pavillion and the organizer of this year’s charity ball. The security here was extremely tight. At the entrance, there were escorts, welcoming the guests. Although it wasn’t her first time attending such a lavish event, Nora was still in awe looking at the arrangements. After looking around, Nora could identify most of the people. They were people from the upper class. Seeing that there were only a few people from their school, Nora relaxed. It was early fall, yet her palms were sweaty. She was exceedingly nervous. Her heart was pounding until she could hear it, and a bad feeling crept into her mind. She turned towards Jessica nervously and suggested. “Maybe I should go back. I do
