Nora Daniels Novels & Stories

she said, and before I could argue, she was gone. I sighed, grabbed the envelope, and made my way upstairs. Nora was on her bed, curled up with a book in her hands, her hair falling over one side of her face. She didn’t even look up when I entered. The lamp beside her glowed softly, casting warm light over her skin. For a moment, I just stood there, watching her lips move slightly as she read. She looked… peaceful. Something I hadn’t seen in a long time. “Here,” I said finally, holding out the envelope.

Nolan: She descended the stairs with the kind of grace that didn’t belong to this world. It wasn’t the dress, though it helped. And truth be told, I couldn't even bring myself to look away from her. Midnight blue, fitted at the waist, delicate straps that revealed the soft curve of her shoulders. It wasn’t the way her hair was pinned up with just enough strands falling around her face to frame it like art. It was her. It was the aura that she emitted.

At least for now. She threw her head to the side and swallowed his insult. Adan turned his attention towards Nola, his eyes hard and filled with anger. “What were you able to find out about their relationship?” Nola adjusted herself on the couch. “Nothing much. While I was still trying to dig up some information from Darana, Niklaus walked in and kept on answering questions on their behalf.” “So there was nothing off about their body language?” Adan inquired and Nola closed her eyes thoughtfully before answering.

Nora commanded, and Dante’s henchmen complied, their movements slow and cautious, the rattle of their emptied belongings echoing on the ground. “You are not going to get away with this,” Dante’s wife muttered as Nora pulled her along, the knife still digging into her skin and drawing blood. “Oh, silly, I already am.” Nora replied, shoved the woman to the ground, and sprinted to her car. The engine roared to life, and the keys were already waiting in the ignition. Tires screeched against the road as she made her escape, her heart pounding against her ribs like a hammer. Dante’s furious shout tore through the air. “You are not going to get away with this! I will get you, Ms. Famous. You fuckin

Naya was shocked. She flipped through the file again, trying to make sure that she was not seeing things. Then she began to tremble. “Naya?!! Where are you?” Naya flipped the papers shut and returned them to the table, then she ran back to the study’s door just as Daniel’s mother was about to open it. “Naya? Why are you up here? The party needs you downstairs. Everything is a mess.” She eyed Naya. Naya and Daniel’s mother did not get along. To her, Naya was a bad daughter in law, who knew nothing. She didn't like Naya because she was not the sophisticated and rich daughter in law she’d been hoping for. And she was still not pregnant after four years.

Dennis stared at me, his expression caught somewhere between disbelief and denial. "There's no way," he said slowly, shaking his head. "You can't possibly be Nora. The Nora I knew could never look like this, could never speak like this, could never stand in a room and command it the way you're doing right now. You're lying. This is some elaborate scheme." Nadia stepped forward, her chin lifted with the same arrogance I remembered. "There's no way in hell," she said, her voice carrying across the now silent tables, "that this is Nora. Nora was fat and ugly, she could never have a body like this, never look like this in a million years. And besides,"

"You see. You see that smirk? She did this on purpose, she's crazy!" "Calm down, Mr Lance, we need to hear from Lana also, she deserves the right to speak.” Ms Molly, the assistant director said, then turned to me. “Lana, what happened?” “Thanks ms molly, thing is Mr Lance here has been making advances at me for the past few weeks since i joined the hospital” “What? How dare you, I knew you’d say this, I need this girl fired, she is not who she pretends to be, i would not sit here and be embarrassed this way, she has to go.” Mr Lance rumbled.

I say, in a quiet and obedient way, "I don't see any reason to say no. I am usually less busy than the other maids, if that is okay with you, Madam Lea." Nora's posture relaxes. She turns to her daughter-in-law, raising one perfectly arched silver eyebrow. "Well, Lea? Is it a problem?" Lea's knuckles turn white. She forces a smile so tight it looks painful. "If she is what you want, Nora, then of course. Why not?" Lea spins on her heel and marches out of the room. Nora doesn't take no for an answer. She never has. Looking at her reminds me of how this entire nightmare started. Before the crash, before the amnesia, I was Tara Smith—a rising fashion consultant in LA.

Angela mused, turning to Nora, who stood with her arms crossed and an unimpressed expression. “Don’t you already have proof? We can just show it to the Alpha, Angela.” Nora sighed and dropped onto the sofa. She had nearly fallen asleep beside the children when Angela burst into Axel’s room with a guard in tow and dumped the entire story on her. “We can, but I want to know more about Daniela’s sins, Nora. I want to know what they’ve done besides plotting against me. I’m certain there’s more. And why is Jordan dancing on her fingers!”
