?Marcus’s POV?
“Nora?” I asked in surprise.
“Yes. Nora, he said and left the door way.”
Ronnie the guy that came here looking for her walked in together with Nora.
I was really surprised to be honest tho I’ve been waiting for her to come back.
I kept mute with my hands at akimbo.
“She sat down starring at the floor. She couldn’t stare at me and I am really hoping she will.”
I looked at mason who was still standing at the door.
He was starring at Nora as well.
“Will you sit down please?” Ronnie said to mason and he glared at him.
“Hey kid! You should no that am older than you, mason said and Ronnie rolled his eyes.”
So?
“So, you should learn how to command me in my house, Mason replied.”
“In your house or your friends? I remember adding please, didn’t I?” Ronnie fired back and I wondered what was wrong with the two.
All this while Nora kept starring at the floor.
I have a lot of things to ask her but I don’t even no how to start.
“Sylvia. I’ll get going now, Ronnie said and Nora raised her head immediately.”
She shook her head telling him not to.
He whispered something into her ear and left.
We focused our attention back to Nora.
None of us were saying anything. We didn’t say a word for about twenty minutes until Mason coughed – knowingly of course.
“So Nora or should I say Sylvia what’s up?” Mason asked but she still kept mute.
She quite mute for a long time before she mouthed.
“I’m sorry Marcus ” she said and raised her eyes to stare at mine.
The time I’ve been waiting for.
“Who are you really?” I finally asked.
“Sylvia Ramon b..but am also Nora you no, she mouthed again.”
“Why did you hide your identity from me? Why did you fool me ?” I asked anger resounding in my voice.
I swear I didn’t mean to b..but I had to , she replied.
“You had to? You had to make a fool out of me? So tell me which mother were you talking about? Course I know Sylvia Ramon’s mother is long dead?”
“No one. I just wanted to get away from here while Rachel was here, she replied.”
I chuckled and couldn’t believe it.
“So you knew I was engaged to your cousin huh! I half yelled.”
I didn’t recall telling you about her but since she’s your cousin you must have known.
“So tell me, did you come as a Cook to set me up? I asked coldly.”
“No. No please , I swear that’s not the case, she replied tears already rolling her her cheeks.”
“But you lied to me. You told me lies upon lies. But still you look into my eyes and tell me you love me huh! Isn’t it?” How am I sure you aren’t lying about your feelings course all you ever do is lie, I hushed.
“No, I swear to you that I didn’t lie about my feelings. Please believe me, she cried.”
“I feel like the biggest fool ever, you made me feel that way.” You no I had plans for you. I fell in love with you before realizing it and I don’t no you were only a liar. A pretender. You deceived me and you continued deceiving me. Now tell me why you came here as an ordinary cook.
I want to no why. Please tell me.
I can’t.
“You can’t? Why can’t you? I mean you lied to me so easily but why can’t you tell me the truth?”
“I just can’t Marcus. Please forgive me and my feelings for you are true mar, they aren’t fake, she replied and cleaned the tears screaming down her cheeks.”
I sank my fingers into my hair.
“G©sh! what is this?”
I never for once thought that I’ll get this angry at her.
“I’m really sorry. Am so so sorry, she apologized.”
“Tell me something at least. Did you come here to seduce me?” I asked after a long purse and she kept mute for a while before shaking her head positively.
“Wow! Mason who hasn’t talked for a long time exclaimed. ”
Y…you..you Nora, I said.
“And I fell in love with you as you planned it. Wow! You should be celebrating, isn’t it?” I said and scoffed.
“I swear it wasn’t intentional, am sorry please, she pleaded.”
“I thought you were a good person. I never this is the real you, I muttered to her hearing.”
“I’m sorry please don’t hate me , I promise to be truthful from now on , she cried.”
“From now on? Will there be anything between us from now on ?” I asked.
Please I beg you.
“Maybe you should tell me the main reason for all these and I’ll think about it , I replied.”
“But, I can’t tell you, she replied.”
“Then you leave me no choice Sylvia.” After all your father is a multi billionaire. You can ran to him anytime you want and you’ll be loaded with billions.
“Its over Sylvia.” I don’t want you as my cook, as my girlfriend or anything else. I no it won’t be hard for you to find a man. I mean any man could go crazy about you so please leave. I don’t wanna see you anymore, I cooed holding back the tears that was really threatening to fall.
W..what? She stammered.
“You don’t wanna see me anymore?” But I said am sorry Marcus please think about it again. Please! She begged.
“I’ve made my decision since you already made yours to keep things from me, I replied coldly.”
Marcus I swear on my mother’s bones that I didn’t lie about my feelings for you. Please don’t do this to me please!
“I can’t be with someone who isn’t truthful. Am sorry, I replied and ran up stairs.”
I couldn’t bear it anymore.
I locked the door and leaned on it finally releasing the tears to fall freely.
The last time i cried was when my mom died. I can’t believe am crying again but for the woman I love who isn’t been truthful.
Why Nora? Why?
?Nora’s POV?
“No Marcus. You can’t do this to me.”
Marcus please. No!
I covered my face with palm and cried more harder.
Please forgive me. Don’t hate me please!
I heard foot steps and mason walked up to me.
He patted me on the back.
“It’s gonna be okay Sylvia. Stop crying.”
I raised my face to look at him immediately.
“Please help me beg him Mason. Please help me! Tell him that I didn’t have to a choice, I didn’t mean to lie to him, I pleaded.”
“I no, I’ll talk to him but in the mean time you’ll have to leave.”
“His just angry. He’ll come around, he cooed.”
“Give me your number then, he said and I handed my phone to him.”
He did what he did and handed the phone back to me.
I stood up and cleaned my face.
“Please tell him that I love him no matter what, I sniffed and left.”
“I really hate this. I never knew it will be this hard.”
I no I hurt him badly but I had no choice either.
“If I were to turn back time. I could have just ran away instead.”
“I got outside and Ronnie was still there, leaning on his car.”
I ran to him and hugged him again.
“Thanks for staying Ronnie, I said.”
“So I guess it didn’t go well, he muttered.”
“He hates me now Ronnie, he doesn’t want to see me, I cried and hugged him tight.”
“It’ll be okay. please calm down , he cooed and took me into his car.”
