Nora woke up with a groggy headache and looked around subconsciously. What! She was shocked when she saw a man lying on the bed with her. She looked at the bedsheets and saw they were blood-stained. She felt herself and knew immediately.
She had done that deed. Tears started welling up in her eyes. It was her first time. She had always saved her virginity, believing that it was the only pride of a woman and should be given to the one she truly loved. Now she had given it to a man she didn't know. What the hell happened last night?She turned to the man who was lying beside her. He is quite handsome and looks masculine. Somehow his face seemed familiar, but she couldn't tell where she met him.It was at that time that the man woke up. He saw that she was looking at him and smirked. "I know that I am too handsome that you couldn't resist, but if you keep looking at me like that, even with my thick face, I can't stop myself from blushing."'Idiot,' she cursed him in her mind before seriously looking at him."Who are you?" she asked."I am nobody," the man answered with a smile on his face. I so much want to wipe out the smile from his face."How did we end up like this?" Nora looked very angered."Oh that, I'm not quite sure. Last night I was drunk, and when I woke up, you were lying by my side and started caressing me. It looked as if you were in heat and kept kissing me. I was drunk already so I wasn't able to control myself. The rest is history.When Nora heard what he said, she knew she had messed up big. Last night, as far as she could remember, she was indeed very drunk and didn't even seem to remember when she passed out or what happened later.She buried her head in the sheets in shame. "How could you have done this, Nora? Why did she drink too much? She could remember that she was having a meal with director Noah to celebrate her new role as the female lead in a new movie.The movie has lots of investment and a good prospect. According to what she heard, one of the main investors is the one who offered her the role. She was supposed to meet him that night because director Noah said he would come to the hotel and celebrate with her.A bad premonition rose in her heart immediately. "Are you an investor in Headway Entertainment?" she asked him."No," the man replied casually, "or else you want me to," he added with a smile. I ignored him and rushed towards the bathroom as his laughter echoed at her back.She sank inside the bathtub trying to clear her mind and understand exactly what was happening. It doesn't seem like she was really drunk. After all, she can still recollect that she only had a few glasses.Yet she can't deny that she passed out, before then she was feeling hot and stuffy, after which, she couldn't remember anything else.Soon she was out of the bathroom with only a towel. The man must have been in the living room. The hotel is a huge five-star hotel, it isn't surprising that it has both a bedroom and a living room.She saw there was a cloth on the bed. It was a female cloth. He must have ordered it for her; she took the clothes to the bathroom to change.When she came back, she saw the man in the towels. It seemed like he was about to take his bath. She looked at his well-chiseled and masculine body. He was so sexy that she gulped unconsciously."Do you wish to swallow me whole?" he asked with a suggestive smile."Whatever happened between us last night is a mistake, we should all go our separate ways and pretend like nothing happened," she said seriously.The man laughed, "you wish." He didn't say anything else and handed her a business card before walking to the bathroom. Nora watched her for a while before grabbing her handbag and putting on a scarf she always carries with her and bolting out of the door.When she had reached the hotel lobby and was about to make her way out, a group of interviewers from many media outlets rushed towards her. She seemed to want to interrogate her, but it made her more confused.She is covering her face with the scarf so how the hell did they find out her identity? She was about to panic when two strong men blocked her front facing the interviewers."Sorry, this is my boss's woman, you are not allowed to interview her or you face the consequences," one of the men said showing them an identity card. The interviewers looked scared when they saw the card.It was the personal security of Sir Williams O'Connell, the CEO of the Williams group and young master of the mighty O'Connell family. There are many mysteries surrounding him, but one thing the media knew is that no one dared cross this young master.They felt bitter; this time they received the wrong information. If the person who gave them the information is here right now, he will probably be beaten to death.Nora was delighted. She looked at the business card that the man gave her in the hotel room. "Williams O'Connell CEO of Williams International Group." No wonder the media were scared. He is a very big name even in the entertainment industry.Her phone rang; she looked at the screen and saw that it was an unknown number."Hello, who is it?" she asked."It's me," a cold voice answered. She knew it was the mysterious man from last night immediately."What do you want?""Do I need to have a reason before I call you? Being my woman is enough reason.""I am not your woman," she argued."That's not the matter now. What do you think of the media? Why do you think they will want to interrogate a nobody? I think what happened last night must have been a scheme, just that they made an error. I am sure you know what I meant.Anyway, since you are my woman now, I will help you investigate; don't thank me, that's what I ought to do." The phone cuts off before she can retort.Nora had safely left the hotel premises; her phone rang, and she saw it was her manager."Hello, Nora, where are you now?" she asked."I am on my way home," she answered."On your way home? You didn't meet the media?""What media?" Nora asked."Oh sorry, I didn't know what I was saying. Anyway, can you come to the company in ten minutes?" The manager asked."No," she answered before disconnecting the call. She is already sure that her manager knew what happened last night. They must have set her up to sleep with the investor.So this is what the entertainment industry is like; she cried in her heart. After all, she only recently joined the entertainment industry, and the movie can be considered as the very first movie she is going to participate in.A few minutes later, she was sitting with her best friend Anna inside her bedroom."I had a one-night stand," Nora said."Woah, I have actually done the deed. Who is the guy? Is he a hunk?" Anna asked anxiously."The guy is very handsome i
"Calm down, Nora. Let's meet the doctor first and see what he says. I'm sure there's a way to save your mother," Anna tried to console Nora.They were in the city hospital. Earlier in the day, the doctor had called to tell her that her mother's problem was getting worse. She was rushed to the hospital immediately upon receiving the news.Her mother had been admitted to the hospital for two weeks now, but she lacked the money to pay for her treatment and had only been put under medication.Soon, they were inside the doctor's office."I'm sorry, Miss Nora. We can't prolong her life anymore. It's either you provide half the payment for the surgery and pay the rest later, or she won't live for more than two weeks," the doctor declared.Nora looked worried. She knew no amount of pleading would change the doctor's mind. But where could she possibly get the money?The half payment was already a huge sum—three hundred thousand dollars. She couldn't afford it. She left the hospital with her fr
Williams O'Connell sat in the passenger seat of his car, a Rolls-Royce Phantom. "Drive me to the O'Connell family house," he said to his driver."Yes, boss."After thirty minutes, they reached a very huge mansion. Williams hurried inside; he hadn't seen his mother for a long time now. His parents had called him during the day and told him that they would be having a small family dinner.He would have normally refused, knowing that his parents would use that opportunity to start urging him to marry. Still, now that he had seen her, he had decided to bite the bullet."Williams, you are here." His mom came forward and hugged him. His father only nodded to him in acknowledgment and continued reading the newspaper that he was holding."Williams," he turned on hearing his name, seeing a beautiful young girl. She had very tall legs and a curvy body, which surprised him."Sandra, you are here," he had a bad feeling on seeing Sandra here. The two had been childhood friends until one day Sandra
It was morning the following day. Nora was brushing when her phone rang. She looked at the screen and saw it was Williams. Her heart started beating. It's time; what can his request ever be, she wondered as she picked up the call."Hi," she said slowly."Meet me at New View restaurant in thirty minutes," he only said one sentence and cut the call. She looked at her phone dully before putting it away and continued brushing her teeth.A few minutes later, she was ready and flagged down a cab."Take me to New View Hotel," she said to the cab man. The cab man nodded. Twenty minutes later, they reached the hotel. She paid for the cab and started heading inside the hotel."Excuse me, miss," A man in a black suit stopped her in front of the hotel. "You are Miss Nora, right?""Yes," she replied."Mr. Williams sent me to pick you up; come this way." She nodded and followed him. They stopped at a private box, and the guard knocked cautiously. "Come in."The guard opened the door, and Nora walke
Nora sighed; William! She knew he was the one, he certainly knew how to worm his way into her life. She crashed onto the bed as she got home, after a late-night shoot she certainly was as exhausted as a sloth. Her phone rang and she groaned, someone should not be calling her by this time of the night especially when she was exhausted. She picked at the second ring, it was an unknown number. “Who is this?” she asked and the person chuckled. “Your hubby,” he said and Nora rolled her eyes, he was persistent as ever. “You are not yet,” she said and he growled. “Oh I am very much your hubby, you signed it darling” he drawled and she scowled. “What do you want?” She said and he laughed, “I like you, snappy. Wife” he said and she rolled her eyes again. “Don’t call me that” she said sternly and over the phone he could hear it growl. “You are my woman,” he said, “I can call you whatever I want” he added.
Nora tried so hard to ignore the stares as she came down from William’s new Ferrari, she had insisted earlier that he shouldn’t worry but being the over-domineering person he was he wouldn’t hear anything and he had turned a deaf hear to all her insisting and had ordered her to ride in his Ferrari to work, which he now owned. As he stepped down after she did she heard gasps and she lowered her head. “Wait is that William O’Connell” someone muttered and another nodded, she walked up to the director who didn’t notice William behind. “Why the fuck are you late again huh? I can have you removed from the role?” He yelled. “I am sorry…..I ….” She started but William shook his head. “No you are not,” he said nonchalantly, he glared at the director. “Have her removed, I think not. You see I own this place now with a snap of my fingers poof, you’re gone” he said with a smile then he scowled looking angry. “Now apologize to my w
William and Nora sat at the dining table digging into their food, while Nora appeared calm. It was just all a facade, being under the scrutiny of his father was unnerving, those dark piercing eyes made her uncomfortable. It was just as if he could see right through her. “She is not going to run away,” William said and his face forced a smile and nodded. “She is beautiful to look at,” he said and William's eyes darkened. “You’re looking at my wife that way?” He asked, his voice was deadly but his father looked unfazed, and he smiled widely. “I wasn’t looking son, just a glance,” he said and William narrowed his eyes, from across the table, his mother watched with interest. Nora had come to like her, and as soon as they reached the porch, she rushed and hugged her, calling her daughter-in-law. She had insisted William should be nice to her and William rolled his eyes, he seemed to respect his mother a lot. “So what do you
Nora opened her eyes groggily and turned she hit something and nearly screamed but she realized it was a rock hard body, she must have fallen asleep in his arms, she stared at him as he slept. He looked young and boyish, he mumbled something and reached for her but she moved away just wanting to stare at his face. It surprised her that William had not done anything but cuddle after they kissed yesterday and since then a kind of feeling had been going on in Nora. It was then he opened his eyes and caught her staring and stretched. “Stop looking at me, I am not breakfast” he said and Nora smiled, she brushed his hair from his eyes and he stared at her surprised. “You kissed me yesterday” she said and he shrugged. “You did kiss me back” he said and she blushed and slid away from the bed. “Are you hungry” she said and he boldly stared at her retreating backside and she blushed, “Stop that” she chided and he shrugged and grabbed a glass of beer
