(POV: Nora)

"Richard?"

"Nora, I'm serious this time." His tone was resolute, devoid of the teasing lilt or the non-committal softness that had defined so many of our interactions over the years. For one last long moment, I gazed deeply into his eyes, searching for the crack in the armor, the sign that he might pull back. But there was only a steady, burning clarity.

After that, I gave a small nod, a silent permission for him to take up the space he was suddenly demanding in my life.

  • UNDESERVED ROMANCE WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE   Chapter 103: Broken

    (POV: Oma)I didn't allow a day to pass and I was already on my way back to my own city.When I finally got home, the key had to be turned twice before it finally unlocked.As I opened the door, I went in, closed the door and stood still in the darkness, and did not move for the light switch.The apartment has not changed its scent.The first thing I noticed was that the same warm, inviting fragrance of the place I had culminated piece by piece for some times now, the candles I light in the evenings and Maya's belongings, also the faint aroma of the food I had made the day before the downfall was still at its place smelling more like my life.The life that at the moment lay scattered fragments on a street in a house in Oakhaven.I closed the door after me and put my bag down on the floor just at the entrance since I didn't have enough energy to carry it further. Maya was lying on my chest asleep, tired out from the journey and the breakdown of the schedule, having the particular baby

But there was only a steady, burning clarity.After that, I gave a small nod, a silent permission for him to take up the space he was suddenly demanding in my life.The meal was over, and the talk had flowed more naturally than I had anticipated. We had navigated the minefield of our shared history with a newfound grace, skirting the old wounds and focusing on the hum of the present. He made me chuckle once, a real, gut-deep sound, and when I did, he grinned genuinely at me. For a fleeting moment, just a tinge of it, it felt like something I had cherished for a long time, a phantom limb of a life I hadn’t quite been allowed to live yet. I treasured that moment, tuckin

  • UNDESERVED ROMANCE WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE   Chapter 101: Unexpected Request

    (POV: Nora)Richard called at 7:15pm. I was surprised to see his call since I've sworn not to have anything to do with him.There I was, sitting at my dressing mirror with my stud earring in my hand, when my phone suddenly buzzed and his name popped up on the screen. For a full five minutes, I just stared at the screen. Richard doesn't normally call me at 7pm. In fact, Richard barely ever called me. So, I just sat there looking at his name and telling myself not to overthink it before I finally answered the phone."Hello, yes, how may I help you Richard," I said, rolling my eyes in disgust."Are you free tonight?" he inquired with his tone a bit off and I got the feel of it right away, like the voice of a man who had made up his mind long before he called me, even if he didn't feel like it."I might be able to, " I answered cautiously. "What's the matter?""I have booked a table for us at Kingston Gardens tonight, " he informed me. "Please can we make it a date by eight o'clock? I wan

  • UNDESERVED ROMANCE WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE   Chapter 100: The Worst Decision

    (POV: Richard) She was already in her reading chair when I arrived. Her book was open and a tea beside her, with her eyes behind her glasses, just like every night. It was 9:30pm when I came in. Also, my mother doesn’t sleep before eleven o'clock, and that has been a part of her since I was a child. Her routine wasn't just habit for her but it was how she keeps her standards in check. When I finally halted the car, I stayed in the car a few seconds after Cole has already killed the engine. Cole watched me from the front seat but didn't speak. He'd said everything he needed to say tonight, and he knew better than to push further.I stepped out, and he opened the door before I even touched it. His eyes snapped wide for a split second, the instant recognition of who I was, and then he backed away silently, like a man used to doing his job without debate.She sat in the sitting room exactly as it always did, calm, still, untouched by outside noise like a quiet woman surrounded by soft

    POV: RichardWe had been driving for eleven minutes when Cole finally spoke.For my part, I was glancing out the window at the city. Oakhaven seemed to fly by in narrow bands of grey road, yellow streetlights and people who seemed perfectly normal, carrying out their normal lives. But I wasn't really focused on any of it since I was only seeing with my eyes while my mind was still at Oma and the incident that just happened. Actually, I hadn't moved from that spot and I was still envisioning what I had seen.Cole on the other hand looked at me. "You should have given her a chance to discuss it, " Cole interjected with my thoughts.I didn't say anything."Richard." His voice was cautious like the voice of a man walking on the ice he wasn't sure would support him. "I'm not saying that what you saw was not painful. I know it was, but remember she was standing there with a ripped dress and her hands were trembling and all she was doing was asking you to stay and listen to her. That's all s

    (POV: Oma) “I was nearly molested today. That's the truth. That's the complete truth please.”And I stood there in that sitting room, spitting it out, my dress in tatters, my hands trembling and my voice breaking in three different places, and not a single person in that room did a single thing to comfort me. Not even Aunty Grace.My father was standing there, right in the centre of the floor with his arms folded, his face made up to look like it was showing shock when, in fact, it was not. Aunty Grace was staring at the floor and Uncle Benson was looking out of the window and Richard was staring at me with an expression on his face that I had never seen there before which was genuine distance.As if something between us had already been decided and he was just waiting for the conversation to be done. "Richard." I called and took a step in his direction with my voice barely a whisper. "You have to listen to me please. I was the only one there and there was no man. I didn't even know
