Semua Bab Once Forbidden, Now Forever : Bab 31 - Bab 40

NORA'S POV Marcy? The same Marcy that ratted me out to Gloria Hart 5 years ago? What on earth is she doing in here?Memories of how she had treated me began flowing back. How she had always been jealous of me and how she had always viewed me as a competition even though I was an intern and she was the actual employee of the Ingrid's group of companies.How she treated me unfairly on daily basis, taking credit for my efforts and making it seem like I was a total nobody who knows absolutely nothing. And then, that particular day, how she had sneaked behind me to read the email from my laptop. The one test that confirmed that I was pregnant and made me freak out. And how she had blurted everything out to Gloria Hart. She didn't even give me the chance to sort out my emotions, I had just found out I was carrying Aiden's child and because she wanted to win the CEO's favour she announced it out loud without even batting an eye. I scoffed in anger and disappointment as I began to relive

AIDEN'S POV After dinner at the restaurant with Salvador, we then headed to a bar for some actual drinks. We spent at least two hours there reminiscing about college and old times. About few minutes to 11pm, he invited me over to his place to spend the night but I had refused, I honestly didn't want to impose. Besides, I had already told Brent to book a suite for me at a hotel nearby.Even though I had told Salvador that I was meeting Jason, the truth is , it was just an excuse to come over in order to find out how Nora was able to fix the situation. Now that I was satisfied that she was actually competent enough to work on the project, I have decided to give her space and let Gary Nigel handle it fully from our side. I have decided to just stand by and observe in the background. I was determined to avoid her from now henceforth.The next morning, I decided that since I was already in San Diego, it only made sense that I actually visit Jason before heading back to California. I had

NORA'S POV"So where are we going?" I asked Salvador as we drove into the main road "Errrm... what if it's a surprise" he replied me casually "Okay....i really don't fancy surprises but perhaps maybe I can decide to be spontaneous today " I replied him. "Perhaps I could hint you on one or two......" he continued I smiled at his words. I guess I could get used to this. Salvador isn't a bad guy afterall. He is very good looking, successful and thank God he doesn't have family in his business compared to Aiden and Jason. "I have something for you" Salvador stated a moment later, interrupting my wandering thoughts. "Check the backseat" I turned around and found a box sitting on the chair. " What is this Salvador?" I asked, hesitant to reach for it."You really shouldn't have Salvador " I continued in a low voice. It was too early to start exchanging gifts. We aren't even sure what we are exactly, I really do not want anything that would ruin our work relationship. I can't afford to

CHAPTER 38AIDEN'S POV "Theresa...., call Aiden, tell him it's time to go . We do not want to be late to the Vegera's ..do we?" I heard grandma Gloria say to the maid as I walked down the stairs."I'm here already.... there's no need for that" I stated out loud."Took you long enough " grandma Gloria said in a low voice. " I thought I'd have to come drag you into the car.... You really need to start acting the way that you ought to " she added " Im here now, that's all that matters " I replied as calmly as possible as I got to the ground floor. I had received an earful even after I got home last night from San Diego. I honestly cannot wait to move into my own house. I have decided that I am won't inform her until the day I intend to leave.Now I see why Jason made the decision without Informing her. He already knew this would happen to him if he stayed back."Shall we leave now?" I asked as I began heading towards the main door. Fifteen minutes later, we were on our way to the Vege

CHAPTER 40NORA'S POV "Why are we here mom?....is aunty Jade back?" Duke asked as soon as I parked in front of Jade's apartment complex."Yes honey, she got back yesterday" I replied him calmly as I unbuckled is seat belt and carried him out of the car "Yehhhh!" He screamed in excitement. " I can't wait to see her" he added as he ran off towards her apartment."Be careful Duke, you might hurt yourself" I said out loud as I shut the door and followed him behind.It feels soo good to know that Jade is an important part of his life. Jade and Jason , they are literally the only family that Duke knows and I don't even feel bad about it. Well I used to, but then, what can I do? I'm supposed to be grateful for the few people that we have. As soon as I got to the door, Jade opened the door " awwwwn, who do we have here?" She asked just as Duke ran into her arms for a big hug "It's me!!" He exclaimed loudly and then added. " I missed you soo much aunty Jade" "I missed you too my super sta
