NORA'S POV Over the years, I have imagined how meeting my father would look like, there was even a time when I rehearsed all the things I would say to him but after the first few years, I just got tired of waiting for that moment and then gave up. I had thought of all the possible scenarios but not once did I imagine it being this way.....my father being on his sick bed with little time left. All I could feel inside of me was anger because life wasn't fair. If Magdalene hadn't reached out to me despite his orders, .....if I hadn't showed up here today, would he have apologised? If he wasn't sick, would he have apologised? Was he only apologising based on convenience? Because he has just a few months left? A thousand and one questions ran through my head as I stared down at him. " You don't know how happy I am to see you Nora........." My dad said, interrupting my intrusive thoughts in the process. " I know I do not deserve this but seeing you again has brought a great relief to m
NORA'S POV I brushed off the hair on Duke's face as he turned beside me. He had dozed off as soon as we landed at the airport in Del Mar and right now we were in a cab heading for my father's house. He had been surprised when I told him that we would be taking a little trip out of town. This was the second time he'd ever get on a plane so he was very excited about it especially since I told him that we were going to visit his grandfather. " I didn't know that I had a grandfather" Those had been his words. He wasn't disappointed, instead he was excited by the news of having an additional family member. Jason had dropped us a the airport this morning and ofcourse waited till we boarded the plane before leaving. I am soo grateful to have such a human in my life and I really cannot thank him enough because deep down, I needed all of the support that I could get. As we neared the street, an overwhelming feeling of emotions washed over me. It was nostalgic. The last time I was here was
NORA'S POV The sound of the doorbell made me jolt backwards a little bit. " I'd get it" Jade said as she rose up from the bed and walked out of the room towards the main door. I was sitted on the floor with a suitcase beside me while I sorted out a few clothes to travel with as I had decided to finally visit my father in Del Mar.I had struggled with it few years and now that the opportunity had come for me to go.....I was going to go. Besides, the revelation that Magdalene sprang up on me, left me with no other choice but to go there. I needed to hear from the horses mouth the true story behind my birth mother and identity." Jason please you need to help me talk some sense into Nora" Jade started as soon as Jason walked into the apartment." What exactly is going on?" He asked her" She's leaving!....she's going all the way to Del Mar!" She blurted out as soon as they both stepped into the room." Jade you're acting like I am going forever.." I replied. " I'm just going to be gon
AIDEN'S POV I entered the dressing room to find Olivia doing her makeup by a professional." Hi Aiden.....I'm soo glad you came early" she greeted me " Well, you specifically told my assistant to ensure that I leave the office on time " I replied as I placed a small kiss on her neck, not wanting to ruin the on-going makeup.She replied with me smile on her face. " We're almost done with the makeup...... right?" She stated and then asked the makeup artist " Yes" The professional responded with a slight nod and then added. " I just need to apply this spray on your face" "Oh okay " Olivia replied as i watched the professional do her thing."What do you think?" Olivia asked as soon as she rose to her feet and took off the apron around her shoulders.I was right. I knew the piece that she sent me was going to be related to what she would wear and I wasn't wrong. Standing in front of me was Olivia dressed in the same piece... but the female version."So.... what do you think?" She asked
AIDEN'S POV "Good morning sir" Brent greeted me as soon as I got into the office that Tuesday morning " Good morning Brent" I replied as I walked past his office into my own office.I placed my brief case on the large mahogany desk before sitting behind it as Brent followed me in with his iPad."How was your meeting yesterday sir?" He asked " It was great........the Chinese investors are ready to partner with us " I said out loud with a rather much confidence." That's great news!....... It calls for celebration" he stated " Relax, the contract hasn't been signed yet " I started. " We are only going to celebrate and do the victory dance after they sign the paperwork...do you understand?" I explained to him I watched as he nodded with a smile." Once everything is set into motion....we can discuss reviewing your salary since you introduced them to the company" I continued as his eyes lit with excitement." Thank you soo much Mr Hart....I do not take this for granted" he replied wi
NORA'S POV I arrived at Jade's apartment Complex later that evening with a little bit of alcohol in my system. I put off the engine and then got out of the car before I then approached her apartment.I tried my very possible best to remain as sober as I could because I didn't want to scare off my son. This is the first time that I'd actively drink due to what I was presently going through. When I ended things with Aiden over 5 years ago, I didn't have the chance to drink away my sorrows because of the baby inside of me. Dealing with the pain had been soo overwhelming and difficult but thankfully, I was able to pull through. Now that I was going through another form of pain and there wasn't any child inside of me.....it was easier to consume myself in a few shots of tequila. After the encounter with Magdalene, there was no way that I could return to work because I wasn't in the right frame of mind. So I drove straight to a silent place and cried some more, after which I had the urg
