I Was Just An Ordinary Lady Novels & Stories

Just a middle-aged lady was behind the counter. Clara walked to the counter and the woman looked up at her. She recalled she had no money on her and thought of how to plead with the woman. She wasn't used to doing this, she used to be the wife of a billionaire, and she gets whatever she needs without asking. “Are you going to keep staring like you have seen a ghost or you are going to place your order?” The woman asked, snapping her out of her thoughts. “Oh, yeah. Sorry.” Clara muttered and exhaled heavily.

"I've seen the debates online. You're divided." "We are. But that's okay. Lily was probably divided too when she decided to jump. She did it anyway." Baby Lily smiled. "Choose it anyway." "Choose it anyway," Elena repeated softly. "Even when you're ordinary?" "Especially then," Baby Lily said. "Because ordinary is what most of us are. And ordinary is enough. It was always enough."

The mark burning on my skin like it was mocking me. Normal. I wanted normal. Ordinary Nanya: broke, late to work, hated by her boss, surviving one latte at a time. That’s all I was. That’s all I wanted to be. But deep down, I knew better. Normal ended last night. And no matter how much I denied it, the mark on my wrist was proof. I wiped down the counter, forced a smile for the next customer, and whispered to myself, “This is fine. Everything’s fine. Totally fine.”

I made coffee the way I liked it - strong, with too much sugar - and sat by the windows watching the neighborhood wake up. A young couple walked by holding hands, both carrying art portfolios. A elderly man walked his dog, stopping to chat with neighbors. A woman about my age jogged past in paint-splattered clothes, probably heading to a studio job. This was what normal life looked like. Not crisis management, not corporate drama, not hiding from dangerous people. Just regular humans going about their daily business, pursuing their own dreams, living their own lives. I wanted that. I wanted to be a regular person with regular problems and regular joys.

The woman asked in fear. It's good that she is afraid of me. Maybe Pearl has already explained to that i am the wrong person to mess with. “I see that you already know me. Who are you?”. I asked the lady curiously. “I am an ordinary person, just passing by”. She replied. “I see….I want you to come with me”. I said calmly to her. “Hehehehehe….I don't actually know you that much, so I am not willing to come with”.

What did she just say to me? "Are you seriously telling me that this little girl sitting on this bed can't walk or talk?" I freaked out. "That's just the truth Madison. She was not like this one she was born. I mean Zara used to be a normal kid, and she used to live a happy life until what happened" Lady Delia started.

What that woman in white had told her was still clear in her mind. Nora knew now... she was no ordinary person, and that was starting to freak her out.

I ended up cooking for him every day just to convince him. He complained the entire time, but still took it because of me. “Good day, ma.” The voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I turned and saw a young, pretty lady. She looked like one of those media presenters. “Good day,” I replied. “I must say, you look beautiful. I love your books.” “Thank you,” I said with a polite smile. “You’re very lucky,” she continued without pause. “I mean, look around. Half of the single women here wish they had a man like yours.”

That's how tired I was. I was awakened by the sunrise shining in my face. I open my eyes look in the direction of the light from the window, oh I didn't even close the curtain. That's how exhaustion did to me. I look at my wristwatch and see that it is still early. I ran to my room and take a shower immediately and change my clothes for work. After changing my clothes I decided to make a quick breakfast menu and eat it. I also put some in the bento box in case I still be busy today. I am already waiting for uncle ben to pick me up. It didn't take long when uncle ben arrived. I gotin immediately hoping this day would be easy. I arrived at the office earlier than usuall so I am not in a rash t
