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
Every teacher stood on their feet the moment they heard Winslow, Winslow had a great record in Horvard.They wondered who among them was the lineage of Winslow to donate such a huge amount of money. Winslow was the key figure when the school was about to start, he was a major investor in the school without waiting for returns, and he contributed peanuts to make money in the creation of the school. Every construction done in Horvard was orchestrated by Winslow and handed over to the administrator and it was messed up due to a lack of good management after his demiseWinslow had done its part in establishing the school, but he could not maintain it for them, he built different laboratories for each subject, and no school was as well equipped as Horvard in Aston Villa. The aim of establishing the school was to have a standard school that gives quality education without travelling out of the country. The elite sons used to attend the school and it had a great record. James' father h
He drove to the district where Garvin's office was located. He had forgotten that Natasha was there until he stepped his foot into the station. He got out of the car, and Nora and James followed him too to complete their adoption process. The first officer who first saw him came forward and respected him like the police, and others did the same. He was considered a hero because he returned multi-million theft properties and he deserved a national award but James declined, he rejected the award. The first police officer followed Garvin to the district where he was humiliated by the female officer and the head officer. The two lost their jobs and the obedient young officer who showed enthusiasm to him was promoted to the position of the head officer. Nora and James were stunned as he was being respected, they looked at each other's faces, and they were happy that their newfound brother was rich and had power. "I will be like him in the future, " James whispered in his sister's ear
