Chapter one"Ahh..." it's so nice to finally breathe in the sweet oxygen of London again, especially when you're back for revenge."Mum, come on, move..." I felt the hem of my gown being pulled at and I looked down to see my five year old daughter tugging at it, staring at me with a frustrated scowl.Her lips were pout in annoyance and her brows furrowed in the worst kind of bad she could go, which was still very adorable.I smiled at her and with a scoop, I had her in my arms as I made my way down the plane."I didn't ask you to carry me, I can walk, I'm not a baby anymore" she said as she tried her best to push herself off my hold.Aria can really be stubborn most times. With the pushing getting too much, I just had to give in and drop her on the floor."What's it with you, missy?" I asked her with my hands placed on my hips. She in turn puffs up and fold her arms, looking away from me. Such character!"He–hey...you forgot m–me..."I looked up back at the entrance of the plane and c

Chapter threeNora's POVHe is really arrogant! We're in his posh limousine now and all through the ride, since I have been asking him some reasonable questions, he hasn't responded to me himself. He keeps telling his bodyguard to do that on his behalf. I mean he is just sitting right there, so why isn't he answering my questions and asking his bodyguard to do that? Was it that hard?"So, what are your parents like?" I asked him, knowing it was a personal question and his bodyguard may not have an answer to that. The thought of that smart deduction made a smirk curl up my lips.But to my surprise, the same bodyguard opens his mouth while Aiden just sits there, looking nonchalantly at the screen of his phone. Did he even hear me at all?"Actually, Mrs. Brooke's is a nice woman but Mr. Brookes is...." the bodyguard's voice trailed off when he was about to mention something about Aiden's dad and I wonder why. I think maybe the comment he had in mind was disapproving and doesn't want to s

Chapter fiveMy eyes were shut and I could feel the heat from him getting more intense, his breath blowing unto my face. I held the front of my wedding gown tightly, and finally, we kissed. His lips were soft, I could testify to that. And that softness was what sent electric shocks through my entire body. I couldn't help but shiver from the shock. But then, something was a bit familiar about this, this feeling... I've felt it before... Just then, Aiden moved away, abruptly cutting me off my reverie. My eyes parted open instantly and I realized the entire kissing session wasn't even up to three seconds. I could feel my face burning right now and I couldn't look up at Aiden. To be honest, this was really embarrassing. I tried to enshroud all my thoughts with the uproarious cheers and applaud coming from the crowd.During the rest of the program, my head was bent low. Looking up to receive several pleasantries from well wishers was a burden to me. Aiden was also nowhere to be found th

~~Nora~~ As I stepped off the subway into the bustling station, the noise and clamour of the city engulfed me. The smell of freshly brewed coffee mixed with the sound of hurried footsteps, a symphony created chaos. I glanced around, taking in the sights of the crowded subway platform. My eyes scanned the crowd, searching for a familiar face. I needed to get the files that proved that I was the real owner of the James Group and not Alison, my step-sister. And that was what I had asked Chris, an old servant of my mother's, to bring me. However, amongst the sea of strangers, I caught sight of a young man holding a bouquet of roses. His face was etched with nervous anticipation. He glanced at his watch, his eyes flicking from left to right as if searching for someone. From where I stood, I braced myself for any sudden mishap. This kind of people should be beware of, for this is how kidnappers and robbers and the like act when they are about to commit their evil deeds. However, soon

~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
