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
"Yeah, he was the only one among us who had no email address but found his way here to beg for food today," "How are these people beside him? The lady looks like take away,""Yeah, she is beautiful, I can see is not a pauper like him,""This boy beside him is James too, my brother do talk about him, he is wretched like him,""Anyone named James is meant to be poor, so I will never allow my generation to bear that name,""He sits here to escape donation and we will drag you Junior ones will laugh at you today," he smirked. "I won't allow that to happen I will buy him $5,000, and he will use that as a donation, my husband needs someone that would help him clean his shoes, I'm sure James would be a good fit for the job," Mia said sarcastically "You mean your husband that works at Winslow?""Do I have two husbands, Wilson of course,"James dialed Rian's number and he picked up p the first ring. "Hello, Brian,""Terminate appointment of anyone named Wilson in the company instantly, in
James let out a satisfied grin as he saw them soaked in someone else's urine. "You all should know that you are a piece of trash wherever I am," he blurted "The second punishment is beating the hell out of you, I'm sure you will feel the pain because you have already been soaked "A wicked grin escaped his mouth as he sneered They all wailed when they heard they would be beaten, they were already on their knees kissing the floor. They continued begging in the position they were in, only Mia was not with them; she knelt separately at the back of James and she was not bathed with urine because she had received special punishment. It was unfortunate that no teacher was inner hall with them, they considered them as adults and once the sitting principal greeted them, he had to find his way out of the hall, the programme was meant for the alma mater, and the only reason they allowed students to participate was to learn and see an example of how their future would be. "Who will help me
