The party was coming to a close as the evening approached its climax.
Several couples walked to the center of the hall, swaying on the dance floor.
All the girls present, whether they were rich heiresses or socialites, all had their expectant gaze towards Liam, awaiting who he would choose as his dance partner.
Except for one.
Nora hadn’t left the event yet.
Because she arrived with Jessica, she couldn’t leave by herself.
Besides, Jessica had sneaked somewhere with Jackson, leaving Nora to fend for herself.
As more and more people crowded on the dance floor, Nora stepped aside in a corner, trying to make her presence invisible.
Suddenly, a figure walked towards her, step by step.
Nora felt a sinking feeling invade her limbs as she tried to back away, however, the person didn’t give her any room to move.
Clad in an all-black suit and turtleneck, Liam stood in front of her, just two
What do you guys think? How did Nora get locked inside the wardrobe?
The morning light traveled through the curtains directly on her face, waking her up. Nora furrowed her brows and pulled the quilt over her head. Within a few seconds, she threw the blanket off. The heat made her suffocate. She rubbed her eyes groggily and let out a yawn. As soon as the unfamiliar surrounding came in her sight, she sat up with a start. She recalled the events from last night and breathed a sigh of relief. Her eyes roamed across the empty bedroom, searching for Liam. He had promised to send her home in the morning. Just then, the door to the room opened, and a tall man entered the room. To her surprise, it wasn’t Liam. He was about 182 centimeters tall, had dark black hair, and a bulky built. There were many small tattoos on his neck, and his nose and ears were pierced. He looked somewhat familia
The night breeze was chilly, and it was pitch dark outside. In the silent night, only the sound of night chippers could be heard. Nora tossed and turned around in her sleep, feeling uncomfortable. Apparently, she hadn’t taken a bath for two days. Somehow, the bathroom had a leakage and couldn’t be used for some time. Because of this, Nora couldn’t take a bath and it was too risky for her to bathe in the guest washrooms, too. Although Liam suggested he would take care of it, Nora declined. She thought she can bear with it and didn’t want to risk anything least Liam put the blame on her. However, now, it was really becoming unbearable for her. She was itching all over her body and her skin turned rash. She sat up and looked at the man sleeping on the enormous bed. Watching him sleep peacefully, she didn’t have the heart to wake him up. These past few days
The bathroom door opened and Liam came out wiping his hair, wearing only a towel tied around his waist. Nora was caught by surprise, and her mouth fell wide open. Her gaze landed on his firm and muscular chest. His muscles were neither outrageously built nor too thin. Just right. Water droplets slid down his clearly defined- six-pack. His sexy Apollo belt from the sides of his waist extended down towards the towel. Liam saw the girl staring at him with bright eyes from the mirror and his lips turned upward. Dazed, Nora lifted her eyes to look at him.As he had just washed up, his face looked more handsome and well-defined. Without turning around, he glanced at her smitten expression and asked. “Are you done staring?” Nora was snapped back to her senses, and she immediately covered her face with her hands. “You, you, how can you roam around naked in the house?” He ope
Another night, another trouble at the Heavenly Pavillion. Liam unlocked the door and entered the room. The entire bedroom was covered in darkness. Keeping the keys on the table, he switched on the lights and was shocked to see the mess in front of him. Pillows, covers, clothes, papers littered around the room. Was his room under theft? Liam walked around carefully in order to avoid tripping. He searched for the perpetrator, only to find her sprawled on the giant beanbag chair on the balcony. There were a few empty and unopened liquor bottles on her sides. Looking at the shadow, Nora looked over. Her eyes twinkle under the light. She let out a gasp. So handsome! She tilted her head to the side and asked flirtatiously. “Beauty, how much do you charge per night?” Liam stopped in his tracks, and his face darkened. Did she freaking take him for an escort?
That night in the bar, Sean had asked him. “Do you love her?” The answer he gave him was silence. At that moment, he didn’t know what love meant. Before he met her, he felt lonely. His life only revolved around eating, sleeping, and rebelling against his father. But after she came into his life, he found a reason to live. He loved to tease her, watch her speak endlessly about things she loved. Holding her in his arms was the source of warmth to his heart. He loved it when she would get worked up, even at the tiniest thing. Life was not that boring anymore! She had become his only salvation. But then, he had to fuck up. He knew he had an illness beyond cure and would never be able to give her a complete version of himself. He also knew that perhaps after everything he’d done to her, she would never accept him. Despite everything, he selfishly wa
“The number you have dialed is now busy please try again later.” Came the mechanical voice from the receiver. Nora looked at the black screen, her body turning chilly. From the time she has been at Liam’s, her brother hadn’t called or messaged her. Initially, she thought he was as usual busy with work and hence didn’t contact her. But now, she couldn’t stop her thoughts from wandering. Forget about him, even his secretary didn’t bother to leave a message on his behalf for her. If not for the updates she received in the family group chat, she would have definitely assumed that he met with some problems. Although she wanted to believe him, the words Liam told her the other day never once stopped playing in her mind. If her brother really cared about her, why wouldn’t he answer her calls? Was he really that busy to even drop a message? He had promised her he would come home du
The night was long, and the torture inside the room never seemed to die. Two hours. For two whole hours, Nora watched him get beaten up in front of her eyes. The guards inhumanly tortured him and did not care if he lived or not. Her gut tightened at the gruesome sight, her breathing becoming rapid. She felt helpless, for not being able to do anything for him. Watching how a sharp blade was stabbed in his shoulder, the brass knuckles pierced his chest. She silently watched him go through the agonizing pain and finally pass out when he could no longer hold it. “Enough.” Ryan stopped his men, and the guards backed off. He walked in front of Liam, who lay on the floor, and sneered at his bloody face. Turning around, he had just lifted his leg when he landed a heavy kick on Liam’s chest without a warning. “Son of a bastard.” he spat. Nora stopped crying and looked at Ryan
“In fact, I already know what happened between you two in the school the other day. It was his second personality active in the body and when you accidentally kissed him, it triggered his anger.” Nora’s eyelashes trembled. She could not believe there was so much she was unaware of. She really found it hard to believe that Liam not only had a bipolar disorder but also such a severe mental illness. He was handsome, a genius prodigy, and admired by many. He was a real winner in life. How could such a proud and willful person like him have such a serious mental illness? Life would really play a cruel joke on you sometimes. When it gives you something, it also takes a lot in return. “What about his family? Why would his father hurt him?” Nora asked. “Apparently, when Liam and his twin brother Aaron were born, a monk had foretold their future. According to him, Liam was a jinx who would cause the downfa
