《The Bad Boy's Lottery 》全部章節：第 1 章 - 第 10 章

PROLOGUE NORAI was fully ready to embrace the changes that comes with the special new age I would be clocking in days to come. Having attracted tons of friends with my title of being the prime minister’s daughter, countless of them are always at my beck and call to paint the city red. Even though I am nothing but a nerdy youngster excited over what would mark her sixteenth year on earth, my parents are fully aware I won’t be taking any less of a birthday celebration. But lo and behold, it was a day to never have been awaited.It was a day from hell. An apocalyptic day, a calamitous day, a day so awful it should have never existed. The universe must have conspired against me, because everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. I lay on my stomach, eyes trained on the clock, willing the minutes to go by faster. Every second that ticked by felt like an eternity, as I counted down to the moment when the clock would strike twelve. I could feel my heart racing in my chest, and my palm

NORA I groaned as I shuffled down the street, my shoulders hunched and my steps hesitant. The two paper bags of pepperoni pizza in my hands felt like lead weights, and I could feel my back aching from the strain. With each step, I felt myself getting more and more frustrated, cursing myself for making such a stupid decision. Unable to help it, I smacked my hand against my forehead in frustration, wondering how I had gotten myself into this situation. All I wanted was a nice, relaxing night after such a hectic day at school but here I am, delivering pizza to the school’s bad boy- Jordan Hill- who has remained stuck at our threshold, refusing to leave until I get him his cravings in the form of a pizza. “A punishment for daring to lock me up in a classroom, an empty one at that.” He had said and I remembered having no choice than to give in. Not wanting the ‘ I miss you’ word to escalate into something I’d rather not imagine, I had to bolt out of the classroom and lock him up.“Here

NORAChecked. Today is the worst day of my life. I felt nothing other than regret when at the end of it all, he kicked me out and slammed the door to my face. As I turned around to take my leave, his bruised body displayed in my head, a very terrible aftermath of what wrath his mother had incurred on him. Had I not showed up, Jordan wouldn’t have to go through such torment. But then again, I hope she’s gotten what she wanted cause I can promise, never in my life would I even think of coming any closer to her or her house but to Jordan… I can not promise. As I hailed down a cab and got into its confines, my eyes kept staring at the door, my gaze never wavering. I tried to push the image away, but it was burned into my mind, a reminder of the terrible things that must have happened behind those closed doors. I grew expectant to be at home already which was why I almost lost it when I snapped my eyes towards the driver and realized even the car’s engine hasn’t been ignited. “Get me

NORA I almost burst into laughter, but pulled myself together. My hearing must have developed a fault overnight, is he even aware of what he’s just proposed? I sneaked a peak over at Natalie, to see her eyes wide and jaw slacked. Apparently, neither of us could believe what Jordan had just sputtered out, shamelessly, at that. “Didn’t we decide not to meet ever again? So explain, what are you doing here?…” Before I could finish, I saw my mother's shadow looming over the second floor of the house. Panic seized my chest and I felt a surge of adrenaline as I threw the car keys at Natalie and took off down the road, Jordan’s hand in mine. My heart was racing as I ran, terrified of what Mom might do if she had caught even a small glimpse of us and me skipping the already scheduled therapy appointment. I only realized what length we had run when Jordan wrenched his hand from my grip to take a breath. I was prepared to slump by the roadside, when I heard the sound of a motorbike roaring

NORAI reached for the car door, ready to make my escape. But just as I was about to open it, I felt a hand slam down on the handle. I turned to see Lucan standing there, his face set in a stern disappointment. “You’re not leaving until you explain why you did that. Because I can assure you, you would wish you hadn’t messed with him.” He said, and my heart rate spiked, and I could feel the panic rising in my chest. But I tried to keep my composure, not wanting to give him the satisfaction of seeing me lose my cool.It was clear as daylight Jordan was the one who talked Mr. George through the detention we were almost sent to. But I was so upset by it that I couldn’t help going after him to challenge him. We finalized an agreement already and he shouldn’t be sticking his nose into my business. But why do I feel like I went too far? “Lucan, am the one he would come after and not you. So chill. He deserved it.” I faked a smile as I tried persuading him whereas, I need even more persuas
