By the following morning, Nora had decided she needed to find somewhere else to stay.

She couldn't stay with Arlo indefinitely. Staying under Arlo's roof for weeks could easily turn one complicated situation into several others.

She sat at the small desk in her guest room with her laptop open, scrolling through accommodation listings.

The first hotel she checked looked perfect. It was close enough to Chiang Mai, had good reviews, and the price was within what she was willing to spend. She click

  • Nora and Her Unexpected Billionaire    My shirt

    The girls’ morning began pretty early. Maya's flight was scheduled for later that morning, but they wanted enough time to get to the airport without rushing. By the time Nora came downstairs, Maya was already dressed and checking that she hadn't left anything behind. Nora had grown accustomed to seeing Maya somewhere nearby since the storm had forced them into Arlo's house. Having her leave made the place feel different already. She called her driver while Maya finished gathering her things. A few minutes later, the car was waiting outside. Maya said her goodbyes to the staff, and Nora followed her out with her luggage. They left the estate shortly afterward, disappearing down the long driveway while the morning sun slowly climbed above the trees. Arlo watched the car from the upstairs window. He had been awake for some time already. Once the vehicle disappeared from sight, he returned to his study. There was work waiting for him. Several documents had accumulated on his desk o

  • Nora and Her Unexpected Billionaire    That Brat!

    Grace Reeves sat at the center of the long dining table, surrounded by women who had known her for years and knew exactly how much influence her name carried. The afternoon brunch had been arranged at her home ahead of her daughter's graduation. Crystal glasses sat beside half-finished cups of tea, while plates of pastries, fruit and small sandwiches covered the table. The conversation had naturally drifted toward their children, as it always seemed to whenever this particular group gathered. One woman was proudly describing her son's recent promotion. Another was talking about her daughter's engagement, while a third had spent the last few minutes explaining how her son had been offered a position at a prestigious firm overseas. Grace listened with an amused smile, occasionally lifting her teacup as they competed over whose children were doing best. Eventually, she laughed. "Alright, enough. You ladies are making it sound like we're holding a competition." The women laugh

Still unavailable. She tried another date.Nothing.The next one had suddenly stopped accepting online reservations entirely. Another showed plenty of vacant rooms on the main search page but threw an error code the moment she actually tried to book.Nora leaned back in her chair, sighing. This was ridiculous.She spent another twenty minutes searching, widening her radius and adjusting the price range. The further she loo

  • Nora and Her Unexpected Billionaire    Knocking on doors

    Nora stared at Arlo for a moment, completely caught off guard by the question.“You could stay with me. For the rest of your time here.”She opened her mouth, but nothing came out.The metal spoon she had dropped a moment ago was still resting beside her ceramic bowl, glinting under the restaurant's dim lights.Arlo didn't blink. He sat perfectly still, his eyes anchored to hers, entirely unbothered by the others at the table, simply waiting for an answer.“I… actually need to use the bathroom.”She stood up abruptly, her chair scraping sharply against the tile floor.Maya glanced after her.“You okay?”“Yeah. I just…” Nora forced a small smile. “I'll be right back.”Nora made it to the bathroom and stood directly in front of the mirror.What was she honestly supposed to say to an offer like that?It was a generous offer. More than generous, actually.But staying with Arlo for months was different from spending an emergency night at his house.It meant waking up under his roof every s

    The car that pulled up outside the main house didn't need to announce itself. Arlo was already on the steps when she got out — white hair streaked through dark, pinned back with a gold crest. "Grandma." He came down and kissed her cheek. "Didn't think you'd actually come out here yourself. You could've sent someone." " I’d rather come myself” she said giving him a stern look. "This house was a gift from an old friend and it is older than your father." She said it plainly, already looking past him toward the cottage through the trees. "I have a great deal of history in this building” “Hearing it had been destroyed wasn’t good news” she said in a low tone. "It's not destroyed” he said shrugging “A tree just came down. It's being fixed." She wasn't listening. She was already walking. The workers tried to stop her going in "The floor isn’t stable ma’am , there is debris all over" they all clamored, panicking at the sight of her walking in. She looked at each of them in tur

  • Nora and Her Unexpected Billionaire    The drag path

    Nora's hands were shaking when she grabbed her phone. She snapped a photo of the album page and sent it to Daniel, then called him right after. He picked up on the second ring. "Nora?" "Did you get the picture I just sent you?" "Hang on."he said, while trying to check his computer. "Yeah. I'm looking at it now." A beat. "That's Ruth." "I know it's Ruth. Do you know how weird it is that I found this in the cottage I'm renting? In Thailand?" He didn't say anything. "Daniel?" "I'm here." "Did you hear what I said?" "I heard you." She kept going, pacing now, back and forth across the wrecked floor while Maya watched from the doorway, arms folded, not saying anything. "I've been investigating my birth mother while I've been out here.” She said walking further away from prying eyes and ears “I was adopted, you know that, and I found some documents in Ruth's things after she died, and I've been trying to figure out where I came from." "I thought this was a holiday."
