"Who is the fighter?" James asked arching his brows"It seems you don't know her, if you do I'm sure you will be ashamed of sitting down with her. The lady opposite you is the one I'm talking about she is a killer and healer" she said "Killer and healer!" James exclaimed "Yes, please let your activities stop here, don't even try to take her to bed, that is where she will finish you, you might be thinking she is bone, yes she is, she will use the bone to destroy you. Mikel one of our customers that tried her is in hospital she beat the hell out of him" She advised James Facing Nora, "I will advise you to start leaving because Mikel's sister is here, she will tear you apart if she catches you""Enough!, can I see the menu?" James slammed his hand on the table "See the menu? Yes, you, you can see it and salivate, I bet you can't afford the least food out of it. I was trying to help you from the monster beside you but you fare up" she replied to James with a scornful expression an
The manager smacked the waitress for disrespecting James. He feared that the people using the kind of card James used for payment were not ordinary people. The waitress swayed as she received a hot slap from her boss. The manager angrily collected the tray from her and shoved her on the floor. This got a reaction from other waiters and waitresses, and they all bowed and dared to look at the manager whenever he was angry.He glanced at the tray and tossed it on the floor. He guessed that James might not want the tray because he collected it from the waitress. He ran inside and got another tray, other workers were surprised to see the manager restless. Was there an important visitor in the restaurant? Why would he be so scared?.. He packed the food on the tray and led the way to their table, he served James himself. Before they could get there, Nora had been soaked with drink from head to toe. Mikel's sister was so irritated because Nora beat her brother up just because he wanted t
He paused as he entered and looked around, his gaze fell on James where he sat and he bowed when they finally met. "Good day, sir, I brought the clothes you requested""Thank you, Brian, you shouldn't have bothered""I must be careful of disclosing your location, we don't know who is who,""Thank you for that,""You can go," "Alright, sir""This is your new dress, change it when you are done eating"Everyone in the restaurant was in awe as they saw Brian bowing for James, their jaws dropped as the person they considered useless was being respected by a worthy person. Many began to wonder who he was, if Nora didn't forgive them, it was certain that the restaurant would not exist again. Nora took the parcel and headed to the dressing room, she was surprised to see shoes in what he brought, everything that made a dress complete was in the box. A beautiful smile spread on her face as she saw the beautiful dress. She had never imagined someone could come for them, James was an Angel
Maureen was happy to see a beautiful lady with James, she was young and beautiful. She instantly thought she was James's new girlfriend and greeted her warmly. "Hello, beautiful, ""Good afternoon ma," Nora bowedJames could see how happy Maureen was, he thought Maureen would not be lonely at home pending the time Nora would get admission into college. He called Maureen inside and explained everything about Nora to her. Maureen could not help but cry that the young lady had passed through hell, she went to the living room and comforted her. "I'm so sorry you have been through a lot at a young age, it is so pathetic, see me as your mother, I will be a mother for you and your brother and everything will be fine soon, " Maureen said"Thank you ma, " Nora said as she fought her tears. She could not believe that someone would accept her and her brother with love. She could not control herself again and started wailing uncontrollably. "Nora dear, it's fine, do you want me to start c
Nora was happy to have Maureen as her new mother; she tossed and turned, unable to sleep, thinking about finally having a roof over their head.She remembered where she stayed with her brother; the house had no roof, and the landlord constantly harassed them for more rent whenever he saw them with new clothes or food. If Nora hadn't been resilient, he might have taken advantage of her, being a pervert.Lost in thought, Nora eventually fell asleep.She woke up in the middle of the night, taking care of the house. Nora cleaned her room, rearranged the living room, and tidied up the kitchen. She also scrubbed the bathroom and waited for Maureen to wake up and decide what they would eat.James couldn't sleep; he felt a bit apprehensive about bringing Nora home because of her martial arts skills, so he remained alert throughout the night. However, he soon realized Nora was harmless. He was surprised to find her cleaning and tidying up everywhere.The living room was too large for Maureen t
She wished she could disappear from where she was because James never took his cold eyes away from her."What have I done? Does he want to send me away?""I shouldn't have accepted in the first place; greed landed me here. What should I do? He has been gawking at me disdainfully since morning. I'm uncomfortable!" she yelled inside.Maureen, who had not finished her food, noticed James's eyes on Nora. She wondered what she would have done to deserve such a cold look, and she broke the silence. 'What has she done for you to deserve that kind of look? Allow my daughter to relax herself. Take your eyes away from her,' Maureen scolded James."There is a lot you don't know about Nora, and it is better you know before you find out from outside,' he wanted to tell Maureen about her martial arts skills but was contemplating whether to tell or not."What is it that I need to know? I will know her as time goes on and leave her,' Maureen didn't give him a chance""I don't believe Nora is the only
"Alright, I will wait and cook a nice meal before you come back, please be careful and don't fight them," Maureen warned "Alright ma," Nora answered Nora stood up packed the plates from the table and headed to the kitchen. James went inside and dressed up, he came out after some minutes but Nora was still inside dressing. He sat on the sofa beside Maureen and they started discussing Nora spending a long time dressing. "She is still dressing," Maureen said"Yes, that is how your folks do, Alice too can spend an hour on her face," James added "Did you miss her?" Maureen asked arching her brows"No Mum, I don't, I mentioned her because you and she have been the only woman I know," James retorted "I pray you find love soon, try not to reference her again, your woman will be jealous if you mention her during the discussion" Maureen advised"I will, but not now, I will marry a decent woman this time around, "Nora came out to them, she wore the same clothes she had worn home yester
They strode into the school and he found it hard to identify it. "Is this Horvard? Everywhere has changed "I didn't know about this school before, this is how I met it the first time I visited, I visited once,""Can you call James," Yes,"She took out her phone from her bag and dialled James number, but he didn't pick the call"Let's look for a place to sit, he might be among the crowd,"Not quite long James started seeing eyes he was familiar with and some had noticed him too. Horvard was having her 27th year founder day and all the students who had passed through the school were invited through the mail. James didn't submit their email address when he was graduating, he had no access to the internet because he was poor. Despite being the overall best student, his mates and some teachers who were benefiting from rich students mocked him that his certificate would be used to work for students who were not doing well academically. He sat quietly at the back waiting for the noise
