~Nora~Chris insisted we have coffee together since it’s been years since we’ve last seen each other. I remember Chris and I were close back then, always playing around with me when he was not busy with work. He’s also the only servant my mother trusts with me each time she would go on long trips till I grew of age to take care of myself and finally work at James Group of companies but even then James was still there to support and help me with anything and everything he could help with.Whenever I was stressed out with work and pressure, Chris was always there to cheer me up and lift my spirits so even if he was just one of my mother’s workers he had been a great supportive friend to me especially when my mother passed away and I had to face betrayal from that snake I call a step sister and Harry my stupid ex-boyfriend. Those bastards made my life hell after taking away my rightful inheritance but I’m back now to take it back with no remorse especially now that I have in my hands cle
Chapter 10~Nora~Who the hell does he think he is to threaten me like that? How could he? But then what choice do I have than to abide? If not for anything but for my kids and revenge, I can definitely deal with that arrogant billionaire I married.The maid had already changed Aria’s clothes and struggling with Archie’s shirt.“Thanks, nanny,” I said to her in appreciation before taking Archie’s shirt from her.“It’s no problem ma,” she said with bowed head.“Did you have diner yet?” I asked my children“Yes mummy” Archie was first to answer before Aria nodded in confirmation.“Mummy, you needed to see the way Mr grumpy Face bored me to death with that silly game,” Aria said with an exaggerated sigh. Oh my God, why does she always have to act like a rebellious nineteen-year-old? I laugh lightly before remembering she called Aiden Brooks Mr grumpy Face again.“Aria, what did I say about not calling him that to his face?” I asked and she frowned lightly.“I did remind her not to call M
CHAPTER 11 ~ AIDEN'S POV ~ My parents are coming. I thought as I stared at Nora. The kids, what do I tell them about the damn kids!. “Hey!.”, Nora snapped, dragging me out of my reverie. “Tell me you have a plan because I don't. ” “You should have thought of that before getting into this contract thing with me.”,. I replied as I rudely walked out on her. I could hear gasps escape her lips. I stopped for a second, realizing what I did was probably stupid. I turned back to her. “I am sorry, shouldn't have said that. ” “But, my parents coming here will cause a big problem , well normally it will. We just have to figure out away to prevent them from seeing the kids. ” “Any idea as to how we are going to do that?” “We have plenty of rooms here so , we can just hide them there for the mean time... ” ”Are you sure that is going to be a good idea. ” “Well that is if your children cooperate with us then I am sure everything is going to be alright.”, with that I was abo
CHAPTER 12 ~ NORA ~ I could feel the sun ray over my face. Goodness, it morning already... “The Kids!.”, they were the first thing that came to my mind immediately I got up. Normally every morning has always been a rollercoaster with them, no doubt. But I wonder how it going to be here. I haven't even thought of enrolling them into any school around here. I thought about it for a while but it sounds more of a bad idea now. What if Allison traces them? What if she gets her hand on them? no ... not a chance, I don't think I want that to happen but they will have to start school at some point. They can't just be running around all day long. Aiden is already vexed by it, just a day with them and he nearly lost it with me, but he seemed so sweet when I wasn't around... well, whatever. One way or the other, I will get through this. I exited my room quickly and headed straight for the childrens room. I opened it up without knocking, who cares, it my children's room, I don
CHAPTER 13. ~ NORA ~ My heart skipped for a moment when I though someone was watching me but luckily there wasn't anyone watching me. I checked the window again to be clear, but there was no one. When I looked forward a bit, I saw Aiden's car exit the compound. Finally he's gone. I have the house to myself. Well it not an achievement but freedom from his annoying gaze. I could do as I please, order maids around like as if I was actually their bosses wife. I prepared some snacks for the kids while did their usual dishes. It about time the got up and have their bath then prepare for breakfast. I hope they are okay? As soon I was done preparing the snack, I could hear lowly chatters coming from their room. I guessed they were already awake, I looked to the side and gestured to the other maiden to look after the snacks while I went to check on the kids. The maiden smiled at me and told me to look in a specific direction. It was the kids. Somehow they were freshened up and
CHAPTER 14 ~ NORA ~ I felt the wind against my skin. The balcony was cozy tonight. I sat down there with a glass of apple juice in my grasp. I felt drawn to this place, for some reason it felt odd. Every corner of the house came with nostalgia. Perhaps I might be loosing my mind but I am damn sure I am not loosing it. Everything just seem awkward for now. Sooner or later, things will go back to normal. It just.for a while. It first started with our First kiss... I don't even know whether to call that our first kiss... it doesn't fit to be our first kiss, the same all over again, like it happened before but I am unable to recall when , how and why it happened. I stroke the glass cup on my forehead a bit as I tried to make my memory work and give me a meaningful reply. There was nothing though but I can still fill it, trying to pull me to itself. Abruptly, I heard car horns coming down the mansion. “Aiden's home “, I said and stood up from where I stood to make sure
~CHAPTER 15~ ~NORA~ “You didn't forget about it, did you? ”, I asked, feeling more disturbed than before. If he did then, game over. “Will you calm down Nora Daniels. I didn't forget about it. Be calming down would you, why would I forget.” “Fine, you don't need to repeat it... sigh, so are we sticking with the plan of living the children inside their room till your parents leave? ", I asked. " Well definitely... I can't really think of anything else other than that actually. " " Wow. . you must really be joking. Despite being so rich and all , you still wanna tell me you can't seem to figure another way? I mean... what if they decide to stay." " Trust me... they won't. ", he said with little assurance in his voice. "You are saying I should trust you ... isn't your same Crazy dad that had he terrible looking eyes locked me.", her voice nearly left it place, close to waking the kids up. Aiden sighed while she tried to calm herself down. "Fighting is no
~CHAPTER 16~ ~NORA~ Saturday , It's finally Saturday where the first words that escaped my lips. I didn't know how to feel or how to not feel. I am not even feeling comfortable. I don't even know how it going to be today, especially with the his dad going to br around. If only his dad doesn't come , then we might not have a Problem... goodness. I decided to work in the kitchen with Maria, did somethings around the house. At first I felt in power and it felt good but even though, I was still uncomfortable doing it. After I had finish some doing things around , I thought about the kids. I haven't seen them around here since morning, probably they are still in their room, or maybe they are still angry. They shouldn't even be, gosh! kids and their tantrums!. "Are you thinking about the kids?", I heard Maria's voice behind me. I turned to face her with a little smile on my face. "It pretty clear you were thinking about them " "You are right ... I am thinking about
