Nora stood motionless under the streetlamp feeling the night's chill still in her bones, as she sat in bench, in the park, while her thoughts ran wild with the strange man's words. “I worked for Eric’s father.” The words of that sentence played continuous refrains in her thoughts. The shaking photograph which she held provided concrete evidence that he was telling the truth. The proof uncovered that Eric's existence was involved in profound frightening secrets she never suspected. And yet, he had vanished. Just like that. Her legs remained paralyzed because she wished to chase him for more explanations. She remained unmoving while seating at the park center because a single searing question hammered through her mind. Eric needed to know about the information that someone was concealing from his knowledge. The process of concealment left her puzzled about what motives drove everyone to secrecy. Eric woke up when the feeble sunlight passed through the bedroom blinds. Th
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

SHADOWS AND WARNINGS.
Nora's intense bodily shudder which gripped her from the base of her neck. Nora remained motionless at Central Park while her heartbeat produced such strong auditory signals that she could hear it thumping. The dim electric lights above shifted and created ghastly silhouettes that highlighted empty spaces. By the dim light the man standing in the dark stayed outside its reach while his features dissolved into the night. Nora felt a strong internal voice telling her to flee for safety. The chill in her fingers caused her to slowly retreat from the scene. Nora turned slowly to the direction of the voice. “Who….. who… is there?” She asked. The figure didn’t answer. The figure proceeded with a methodical single step towards her. Nora’s pulse jumped. “Don’t take another step!” She ordered him to halt with a loud voice while standing alone in the deserted park. The man held his position because the darkness covered his facial details. Nora panted heavily while she tried t
The Meet Up.
When Nora looked at her phone's text a sudden wave of fear flowed to her body. “Meet me at Central Park at 11 PM for a meeting by yourself. Alone.” She read the message again. “Pizza Guy.” The name rang in her head. Flashback of events played in her mind, from mysterious men, to the strange delivery. Her stomach twisted. She did not hear that name again after many days except for those unsettling incidents. This couldn’t be real. It shouldn’t be real. Yet, there it was. The text in front of her demanded she trust its contents as she stared at her phone screen. A sudden deep inhalation pulled her from her thoughts. The text shocked both her and Sandra and we stopped what we were doing. Sandra reached for Nora’s phone. The sudden motion of Sandra taking her phone made Nora freeze. Sandra opened the text, and read it. Again. Sandra scrunched her eyebrows and her face turned strange as she tried to grasp what the text message said. “This is the Pizza Guy?” Nora swall
The Text.
Nora sat in the small café by a window that showed the dim light of a streetlamp shining through. She tapped her fingers on the table while her cell phone stayed flat face up without any light. She waited. No response. The message had been delivered. The call had gone through. But Eric wasn’t answering. Nora released a deep breath as she studied Sandra who stirred her coffee mindlessly while watching Nora intently. Sandra exhaled, breaking the silence. Sandra cut off her third spoonful with her words preparing Nora for her response. “Maybe he’s just busy.” She muttered. Nora shook her head. “No. Something’s wrong.” Sandra arched an eyebrow. “The fact he isn't responding to your text message alone feels wrong to you” Nora kept pushing with her response. “After I made my initial phone call he answered but seemed agitated during our conversation. He looked ready to share information, ready to hear what I’m about to say but our conversation ended before he could start.”
Perfect Distraction.
Eric was lost in thoughts. Eric accessed his valuables from an edge of his bed while holding the phone tightly in hand. His thoughts moved in chaotic patterns around the same points trying to interpret Nora's mysterious warning. Lisa presents different characteristics to those people who know her. Nora spoke with an immediate sense of desperation during that call. The phone call abruptly ended after she spoke her words. The moment Eric let out his breath his phone grip intensified. His unsettled mind suffered from confusion as the doubt started consuming him. During the past few days he noticed Lisa remained unperturbed about Oliver and effortlessly disregarded significant events along with showing constant cheerfulness about Oliver's wedding plans. Such insensitivity bewildered him. Nora's alarm during their phone call seemed impressive to me at that moment. Eric’s heart pounded. He needed answers. Now. The call button released a low buzz beneath his thumb which positio
Concealed intentions.
Eric Leaves the Rodriguez MansionAs Eric left the Rodriguez home his brain swirled with confusion from Mrs. Rodriguez's shock news.“Oliver is getting married.” He thought. “To who?” He asked within himself. The question gnawed at him. He blocked the idea from entering his thoughts. Since Lisa may have permanently departed from Oliver. The relationship between Oliver and his partner showed no signs of continuation.“And if that’s the case… Lisa will suffer heavy emotional pain when she discovers this news.” Eric proclaimed in his heart. He sighed. He falsely claimed she was based with Oliver and dishonest with him. But what if she wasn’t lying? He would be left with no valid reason to have rejected her.He took out his phone to check a missed call but chose to let it go unanswered. He had an urgent duty to perform.He needed to apologize.During his train journey he made up his mind to resolve their problemsIn the speeding train Eric took his place next to the window to watch as
Echoes of Lies.
Oliver exited his father’s office, the corners of his lips curving up with satisfaction. Victory felt good, but good felt even better when it was wrested from a man like Antonio Rodriguez. His father had spoken for him. Lisa would be his. Not that she had a lot of option left. As he fiddled with his cufflinks, rolling his shoulders with admiration of himself, he walked out of the room, only to run straight into……..Mrs. Rodriguez. His mother. She stood there in her neat navy dress, her dark, glistening eyes making him feel analyze him silently. Oliver's smirk sagged only for an instant before he smoothed it out again. “Mother,” he said smoothly. Mrs. Rodriguez arched a brow. “You seem quite smug, Oliver. Should I be concerned?” Oliver chuckled. “Not at all. Just had a good chat with Father.” Her expression didn’t change. “Must be that happy look on your mug?” Oliver stuffed his hands into his pockets and tilted his head. “I have his approval.” “Really?” She e
