Lisa sauntered away, and Nora’s hands curled into fists as the echoes of her heels clicking against the marble floor. Nora watched Lisa as she cat-walked back to the elevator. She was angry as every fiber in her burned with a burning rage only seconds later. Nora realized that things has gotten more personal than before. “It seemed that Lisa had just admitted it, without shame, without hesitation. She was using Eric. Playing him. When she was done she would discard him like an old toy.” Nora said within herself. Nora clenched her jaw. “Not on my watch,” Nora muttered. She wouldn’t let this happen. Her stance was casual and almost arrogant, Lisa reached the elevator and pressed the button. Nora took a step forward. “You’ll regret this!” Lisa paused, Nora's voice echoed in the lobby. Gazing over her shoulder, Lisa let out a soft laugh. “Oh, sweetheart. People who make mistakes do not regret. She smirked. “And I don’t make mistakes.” The doors of the elevator slid open
Secretly The Nrillionaire Boss The Betrayal
Eric wiped the sweat from his brow as the sun beat down on the Rodriguez estate. He was crouched in front of the perfectly manicured flowerbeds, carefully trimming the delicate roses that Mrs. Rodriguez cherished more than anything, more than any of her servants, certainly more than him. The sharp scent of freshly cut stems filled the air, and the rhythmic sound of the shears clipping away at the blooms brought Eric a rare moment of peace.That moment, however, was short-lived.“Eric!” Mrs. Rodriguez’s sharp voice pierced through the stillness. She stormed toward him, heels clicking against the stone path. Her designer dress fluttered in the slight breeze, but there was nothing light about her mood.She sighed. “What do you think you’re doing to my roses?!” she spat, glaring down at him.Startled, Eric stood quickly, dropping the shears at his feet. “I….I was trimming them, Mrs. Rodriguez. Just like you asked.”Eric was looking confused. Mrs. Rodriguez crossed her arms, her lips
Secretly The Nrillionaire Boss Secret Love
The cool night air greeted Eric as he stepped out of Lisa’s house, the sounds of laughter and music fading behind him. His heart pounded in his chest, but his face remained emotionless. He didn’t want to show it. Not now. Not after seeing her like that, on Oliver’s lap. The image of Lisa, smiling and laughing with him, played on repeat in his mind, but Eric forced himself to swallow the lump in his throat.He glanced down at the small gift still clutched in his hand. It was wrapped in simple brown paper, a delicate necklace inside a gift he had saved for, worked for, dreamed of giving to her. And now, it felt meaningless. But despite the hurt, something inside him refused to give up completely. Maybe she didn’t mean it. Maybe she had been drunk or caught up in the party. Maybe… maybe he still mattered to her.“I need to give her time,” Eric said. With a resigned sigh, Eric turned and walked down the road, the sound of his footsteps lost in the stillness of the evening. He didn’t go
Secretly The Nrillionaire Boss The Shattering Truth
Eric pulled away, because he wanted to be loyal to Lisa, no matter what. “Excuse me, I have to go, thanks for the coffee,” Eric said, Nora sighed as Eric stood up and to take his leave. “Eric?” She called. Eric turned. “Yes?”“Be safe,” Nora blunted. Eric nodded and he walked out of the store, the door rings the top bell, and it rang again, as another man walked in. Nora exhaled, as she felt that desire for love but Eric heart was somewhere, even though, it wasn’t appreciated. “I will give him time,” Nora muttered. Nora glanced on the table and she saw that Eric forgot the necklace, the gift he bought for Lisa. Nora quickly looked outside if she could see him but he was lost in the night. Nora knew that he had to give him when next they met but she was curious. Nora sat where Eric sat she opened the wrapper and took a glance at the necklace. “Wow,” Nora muttered. The necklace had a silver pendant, saying the word MY LOVE. “This is wonderful,” Nora said, adoring the neck
Secretly The Nrillionaire Boss The After Party.
The bar was loud, the thumping bass of the music vibrating through Eric’s chest as he walked inside. It was packed, filled with people dancing, laughing, and shouting over the music. For a moment, he felt out of place, a bitter reminder of how far removed he was from this world, the world that Lisa now seemed to belong to.Eric’s eyes scanned the crowd, his jaw clenched tight as he searched for Oliver. The anger that had been bubbling inside him ever since Lisa’s manipulative words was now boiling over. He didn’t care about the stares from strangers or the fact that he didn’t belong here. He only cared about confronting Oliver and getting answers.Finally, in the back corner, Eric saw him. Oliver was seated at a large booth, surrounded by a group of people, boys and girls alike, laughing and drinking as if they didn’t have a care in the world. A few girls were dancing around the table, and Oliver, with a cocky smirk plastered on his face, sat back like he owned the place.For a moment
Secretly The Nrillionaire Boss The Gardener
Eric’s hands trembled as he adjusted the brim of his cap, trying to mask his bruised face and uneasy gaze. Eric wiped off the sweat from his face in the garden that felt suddenly too small, he stared in shock as Mrs. Rodriguez walked into view, arm linked with a young man whose smirk sent a chill down Eric’s spine. It was Oliver, the same Oliver, from last night’s fight. The one who was about to steal his girlfriend, and publicly humiliated him, and nearly beaten him to a pulp.Eric remember those words of Oliver from last night YOU DON’T BELONG HERE! Eric became furious. Oliver looked at him and chuckled, he also had cut on his lips. Oliver on the other hand was shocked. He felt his pulse quicken, and he hoped Mrs. Rodriguez wouldn’t notice his expression. Just hours ago, this very person was seated arrogantly in the bar, after ruining his day floating wealth in front of Lisa, in the name of friendship. And now, here he was, on the Rodriguez estate, laughing with his supposed
Secretly The Nrillionaire Boss Nora
Eric’s sigh was heavy, full of frustration, as he felt the weight of his situation press down on him. He was surrounded by the pristine gardens he’d maintained for so long, but for the first time, he felt like a stranger in them. The insults, the betrayal, and now the smug mockery of Oliver had piled up, turning his anger inward. “Lisa why? Maybe I am overthinking it,” Eric said within himself. How had he let himself end up here? He had put everything he had into making Lisa happy, into proving himself worthy, and now he was left with nothing, nothing but the sting of humiliation and a bruised ego.Eric sighed “it all will be good, I believe that, it is all matter of time,” The hours dragged on, and Eric poured his energy into the meticulous task of trimming hedges and watering the plants.“I need to finish this hedges before Mrs. Rodriguez visits the again, I don’t want insult or added stress,” Eric snapped going back to work after remembering Mrs. Rodriguez attitude. The repeti
Secretly The Nrillionaire Boss Come Alone
Eric got the address for the meet up, Nora sent him the text, given an instruction, that says COME ALONE.Eric felt it strange , he sighed and continued his work, gathering the weeds, as he concluded for the day. Eric closed from work, heading back to Lisa’s place, that is where he actually lives, because he had issues with his rent, of his former apartment. Eric got home late, he worked back home. He met Lisa already asleep, he refreshed up and he couldn’t wake her up, because he still felt hurt. Eric thought about what Nora said, that what is it was true? Or is Nora trying to scatter their relationship, because they are friends, considering her action in the cafe. Those questions roam around his head, he decided not to see Nora too night anymore, he went to bed. Eric woke up the next morning with a feeling of heaviness in his chest. Those thoughts came back instantly, he resumed from where he stop, Nora words and Lisa actions. “Not now,” Eric said within himself, he held his

BOMBSHELL
Eric positioned himself at the doorway while his forehead formed a frown to witness Lisa accompany Nora to the lobby. Something was off. He could feel it. When Lisa extended to walk Nora to the lobby Eric reacted with surprise. The behavior felt inappropriate given her typical subtle manner because it appeared both too emphatic and too demanding. Current observation of tense interaction between Lisa and Nora causes his stomach to knot. “Lisa?” He called. Lisa turned to him. His tone revealed suspicion during the inquiry as he said “Everything okay?” to Lisa. A pretty dimpled grin emerged from Lisa's face as she looked at him. “Of course. Why wouldn’t it be?” Eric’s gaze flickered to Nora. Nora looked away. She looked uneasy. The purse strap clenching in her hands and her sporadic foot movements caused her to wish she could escape the situation. Nora was away that her mission has failed and Eric was still lost in the lies. He narrowed his eyes. Nora briefly paused be
The standoff.
Nora froze in her spot by the threshold because her breathing turned heavy. Nora couldn’t believe her eyes. She wasn’t expecting to see Lisa. She never expected Lisa to open the door among all those other potential individuals. Lisa?The whole mission was in jeopardy. Nora couldn’t move a muscle, so as Lisa. The period of time between them felt endless. The hallway remained empty while city wind noises coming from the fifth-floor window served as the only audible presence. Lisa quickly used her eyes to size up Nora, scanning from her toes to jeans trouser, and top, neglecting her curvy figure. Lisa gave her a quizzical look. As Lisa clenched the doorknob Lisa seemed as surprised as Nora. A shifting expression crossed her face showing first astonishment followed by strategic planning and then an enigmatic look she did not reveal. Lisa partially blocked Nora from seeing or coming into the room, as a strategy. Nora swallowed hard. She began with an unsteady tone when she a
Truth and Lies.
The morning atmospheric conditions were bracing outside yet Eric maintained a heavy tension inside his living area which suffocated the air. The coffee mug stayed unwrapped in his grasp as he sat at the edge of the couch. Twice he looked up from his smartphone screen toward the door of his apartment as thoughts circled his brain. Lisa hadn’t called last night. The way she phoned this morning left him feeling discomfort in the atmosphere. He remembered the sound in the background during the call. Any sound of a car horn continued repeating in his mind. Lisa informed him she spent time at a friend's place yet city sounds from her background clearly refuted this claim. The house where she stayed with her friend found itself located within a neighborhood characterized by silence rather than city noise along with vehicle honking sounds. It was impossible to know where she vanished to. Eric clenched his jaw. Since his sixth sense alerted him to an issue he decided to dodge his usual
The Tightrope Wobbles
Lisa woke up and her body was tangled in Oliver’s sheets. A ray of early morning sunlight cut through the shadows which once made the night feel safe, cutting through half closed blinds. Nothing was hidden in the daylight. She yawns. As she sat up, her heart thumping, she held the sheets to her chest. He stirred next to her and his arm lay lazily over her waist. Gently lifting it off of her, she hesitated before sliding out of bed. Oliver mumbled some words, but Lisa couldn’t hear them. Lisa exhaled memories from last night, replayed in her head. She chuckled, and but a lips seductive, as she remembered the night she had with Oliver. Lisa turned to the clock, it was 6:30am. Lisa turned to Oliver and muttered. “Soon,”. Lisa quickly remembered an incident from last night, when Oliver drove passed a street during the night. Lisa could remember that they splashed water on someone, and she realized it was Nora. Lisa heart beat. She quickly got her things. Oliver the sound her
Edge of Deceit
Nora couldn’t believe her eyes. The car zoomed off immediately, without remorse or concern of what it did to her clothes. Nora stood there speechless. She wiped of the water of her face. Nora walked into her workplace drenched in water, so as everything that isn’t under shelter during the rain. Mr. Thompson sights her from the door, because of the little bell at the top of the door that rings when someone opens it. Nora managed to get to the back, for a change of clothes. “Late again, huh?” Mr. Thompson asked. Nora didn’t respond. “If you continue like this, I will get you fired,” Mr. Thompson said, pointing his fingers at her. He walked away. Nora sighed. She mimicked him sarcastically, and laughed. Nora exhaled in relief. The words from the greasy, rumpled, pizza note, replayed in her mind. “You are running out time……,” the note said. Nora thought about it, as looked herself in the mirror. Mia put on her name tag of her work uniform. Sandra’s words repeated in her
Night of Lies.
Lisa stepped out of the house, that evening, fully dressed. Eric watched her leave. He stood by the window from his room, and watched Lisa trek into the night, clueless of her direction. His heart was heavy, his mouth couldn’t speak. Lisa figured vanished before his eyes as he watched her from above. As Lisa trekked through the night, she turned to check if she was out of sight, and she was. Lisa brought out her phone and called Oliver. The phone rings. The line connected. “Hello Oliver?” Lisa said. “Lisa what’s going on?” Oliver asked over the phone. “Oliver……. Oliver I can explain,” Lisa started. “Okay, go on….,” Oliver muttered. Lisa exhaled, she looked around and it was dark and it wasn’t safe. “Can you speak in person, like physically?”. She requested. “Yeah, I am around the corner, just walk down,” Oliver said. Lisa quickly ended the call, before Oliver could say another word. The night breeze touched Lisa's skin while she stepped along the poorly lit streets. O
Fractured Promises.
Lisa was on the phone with Oliver once more, after promising not to. “Oliver, this is not a good time,” Lisa whispered into the phone speakers, and kept turning back to check if Eric was nearby. “What do you mean, by it is not a good time?” Oliver asked confusely over the phone. Lisa delayed in her response, “not now, I will call you later,” Lisa muttered. “What?” Oliver blunted. Lisa ended the call. Oliver stared at his phone confused. Lisa quickly stuck the phone in between her clothes, she exhaled, wiped off her eyes. “Isn’t this what I wanted? To leave Eric for good?” Lisa questioned herself, her heartbeat was still at a fast paste, even though she tried to calm down. “Yeah, my time is come, my wishes are now coming through,” Lisa said within herself. She nodded gently, as she came to her realization of her wishes are about to come to pass. “No need…… there is no need to be afraid, I just need to play the last card, before the game ends,” Lisa muttered within herself.
Dilemma of Emotions.
Lisa’s breath hitched. Lisa turned her head slowly, towards the door, and saw Eric, while Oliver was still on the line. Eric carried roses and looking at her, holding a mix of nervousness and strong will. She wasn’t ready for this. Not now. Not after Oliver’s bombshell. “Hello?” Oliver called, he was still on the phone. Lisa’s grip on her phone grew firmer. She did not hear Eric say her name before, he walked in, she was focused stayed fixed on her own thoughts. "Lisa?" The powerful beats of Lisa's heart covered up Oliver's attempt to speak on the phone. “Lisa, it’s me. Why are you looking shock?.” Eric spoke softly but his real concern came through the words. Her mind spun. This was too much. Through a deep intake of air she managed to control her feelings. Lisa quickly ended the call. “Hey…… hey! Eric! You are back,” Lisa said. She did not take note of his gifts. She placed the phone down and placed it upside down, fear written all over her face. She hesitated
