Trouble with the Devil のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Liam stood there quietly in the silent night. The nights in Kingstown were always cold.  Added to that, they were now standing at the top, Nora was hit with the chilly breeze.  Holding her trembling body, Liam hurriedly got down from the railings and pulled her down.  When they reached the car, Nora suddenly pounced on him from behind. She hugged his strong waist, refusing to let him go.  Liam stiffened before turning around and held her. “What’s wrong?”  “It’s cold.” Nora hugged him tightly.  Liam let her hug him and opened the car door and sat inside before pulling Nora on his laps.  Snuggling into his embrace, she tried to absorb as much warmth as she could from his body.  Liam turned on the heater and pulled the seat behind so they could sit comfortably. Putting her small hands in his broad palm, he rubbed them. Tonight, she wore a s

After school, Nora was immediately pulled into the student union’s office by Liam.  He planned on taking her out but then realized his father’s men were keeping a tab on him everywhere.  The only place safe right now was his office.  Nora also agreed with his arrangements.  They were nearing completing the project, and she could ask him to help her in her studies.  Their takeout was yet to be delivered, so Nora took the time to explain to Liam the errors in the reports. At that moment, the door to the office opened and Nancy strutted in, swaying her hips.   “You’re such a workaholic! It’s already so late and you are still working.” She exclaimed as soon as she entered.  Hearing the voice, Nora raised her head and stared at Nancy, wondering if the latter had nothing to do with her life. As long as she had free time, she would come looking for Liam.

Nora entered the office, and the scene that greeted her left her stunned. Behind the desk, a devastatingly hot Liam sat working on the computer. He wore a dark green shirt and black pants. The gold-rimmed glasses rested on the bridge of his nose, further adding to his charms. Nora admitted, Men looked sexier when they worked. Sensing her entrance, Liam paused his meeting and raised his head. “Wait for a while. I’ll be done soon.” His deep voice resounded, and he went back to his work. Nora snapped back from her daze and replied. “Oh... okay!” Walking over to the couch, she sat down and started with her revision. While solving the questions, she sneaked glances at the man. After thirty minutes, a loud bang echoed in the room. Plopping on the table, Nora let out a frustrated groan. Thirty minutes! That was the maximum she could hold herself up. Just looking at the numbers gav

Jealous? Slut? Boyfriend stealer? I balled my fists and clench my teeth so hard that it was hurting. How shameless of him to say that I am the one chasing after him when it was him pestering me all the way! I could practically feel smoke coming out of my nose as my body trembled. And Sofia, this stupid bitch. I knew it. I just knew it. This was why I had warned her against men like Alex because I knew, given her personality, she was bound to be taken advantage of by them. I had good intentions and didn’t want her to suffer because I genuinely considered her as my friend. But I didn’t know that this wretched would trust this freaking bastard over me. There was not a time when I haven’t saved her every time she got bullied. Not a time went by when I didn’t treat her as one of my people. And this is what I get in the end. I was so done doing good for people!

I tried to minimize my presence and quietly leave the office without alerting the adulterous pair, but blame it on my bad luck I accidentally kicked the chair in front of me, which fell with a thud.  The noise startled the two, and the PE teacher yelled in panic. “Who is it?”  I wished so badly I could slap myself in the face right now, wondering why the heck I couldn’t avoid getting into trouble. “I think someone is in the office. But who could it be? All the staff members are in the assembly hall.” Ms. Marie asked, confused.  “What if it’s a student?” the PE teacher guessed. Ms. Marie’s expression changed immediately, and she shouted. “Crap! What are you waiting for? Don’t let them get away or we’ll be in big trouble.”  I somehow scrambled out of the office and ran across the hallways.  I assumed they wouldn’t go all out, but boy, I was wrong.  The PE teacher chased
