NORA *SLAP* My head swung backwards the moment my mother's palms fell on my cheeks. I bit my inner cheeks stopping myself from letting out a sound. "How dare you bring disgrace and humiliation to us?" My mother ranted. "What was the meaning of that scene that occurred at Mr Wilson's home? Why do you always like to bring humiliation and always trying to tarnish our reputation in any way you can?" My mother spoke harshly, her words like venoms stinging my heart. "Tarnishing our reputation?" I asked unbelievably, how can my mother say such a thing. . "The picture, the words of Damon and that diabolical thing that displayed on the screen, tell me what it's all about, is this really what you're doing? Is this really what you are up to now? How can you be so unholy? Why did you reduce us to nothing Nora?" She barked her legs walking up and down the living room. My hands moved and fell on my cheeks that have been slapped, and it's damn hot. I massage it softly before bringing my hands down. I couldn't believe my mother will dare to slap me. And the fact that she slapped me over something that I don't know of hurts a lot. I tightened my fist angrily without saying a word. "Do you really think that is true? Do you really think I will do such a thing? Is this what you think about me mother?" I questioned tears almost dripping out of my eyes. How can she think such a thing, how can she believe Damon of all people over me? "I don't care what you do or what you can't do but why do you choose to play such silly games with Damon publicly?" I heard her asked as confusion once again rise on my chest. Silly games? Did she just say I'm playing silly games with Damon? How? "What do you mean mother? What do you mean by silly games" "I know you two so well, I know how hard you tried to hide it and not wanting us to know about you two, and I know your main reason for coming and agreeing to come for the holidays was because of him, I remember all the silly games you both used to play when you were still together but my darling, taking it publicly and in the present of guest and outsiders isn't right. You could have had those games elsewhere not at Mr Wilson's party" My mother said, and I scrutinize my gaze on her. She just called the entire show, harassment, humiliation and embarrassment that was pointed at me, silly game that I play with Damon.? What is going on? I feel so lost, so confused and frustrating. Did Damon perhaps talk to my parents before I got home or did he do some explanations just to cover up for what he did? "Mom this is not a silly game, I was humiliated publicly by Damon and you call this a game? Because of him some business people withdraw from my company and will eventually stop banking with me and this silly games you called is going to tarnish my reputation if I don't stand and fight against it so tell me how you still see this as a silly game?" I ranted feeling deep anger. "I don't care if Mom see this as a game or not but all I know and what I think is that you're no longer the sweet and lovely Nora that we all know then, you've changed a lot" My sister Emma said standing on the stairs and my eyes went straight to her. I haven't forgiven her for the things she did to me back at the party. For ditching me and also supporting Damon over me. They're aware of what he did to me, all the pains, the traumas, the fight and heartbreak. I didn't just ditch Damon because I wanted to. I broke up with him because I couldn't cope with the heartbreaks and betrays anymore. For good 10 years I have been with Damon I gave him my heart, my all and my everything. I was the loyal and committed girl in the relationship, always putting him first and making him my number one. All I want was for us to end up as husband and wife. We have been dating right from high school, and I was always fantasizing about our marriage, our home and future together. We won lots of awards as the cool and best couple in school, the king and the queen prom and lots more, and it gave me that satisfaction that he was the one I was going to end up with, until my friends started telling me on how they spot him lurking around other girls. I thought they were lies, I thought they were mere rumors just to make me all rile up and decide to end the relationship with him. I cast my friends and warned them never to spread fake rumors about him not until I saw it for myself. At the back of the school dorm I saw him holding a girl tightly as he munched on her lips. My heart flew out of my rib cage as sadness and shock envelop me. I told myself that I couldn't be with him anymore but when he came apologizing and promised never to do it again I forgave him. The second time we were alone, and then a texts pops up on his screen reading, 'I can't wait to be with you again my love, I've missed you inside of me' I immediately knew he was cheating again and when I confronted him, he lied and covered up for himself and then beg for my forgiveness and I forgave him foolishly again. The third time I saw a girl walking out of his dorm arranging her clothes properly and when she saw me she shook vibrantly in fear before leaping away without me asking her a word. Again he came apologizing, and I forgave him because I was an i***t. My friends laughed at me, they questioned if I was blind, or I'm madly in love or rather stupid. They thought I was sick, and I needed to be free from whatsoever voodoo spells he has on me. I told them not to worry that he's going to change because he wasn't like this. Then it came our final year in school. I went for banking and finance, and he went for business administration. So our campus was a bit far away but still seeing each other wasn't difficult. A day to our last exams I was eager and happy to see him so we can plan ahead for our graduation only to get to his room and saw him f*****g my very own friend. I couldn't react I stood silently watching them until they were done. My eyes not leaving their bodies, my ears picking and listening to their shitty words, moans and grunts. And when they took notice of me I left. He came after me apologizing and pleading but this time my mind was locked up. Four times I caught in with my own eyes, cheating on me not the ones I've been hearing from people all around me. I distanced myself away from him and avoided running into him nor seeing him. And when we were done with our last papers of exams, I went home not wanting to celebrate a final party with final year students. My parents were aware, my family was aware of the breakdown that I went through because I was left with a broken heart and sadness was reading of me. He came begging, he came apologizing, and this same Emma was the one always chasing him away. On the day of my gradation I had to go, and then he begs but I didn't forgive him as always, then he got mad and frustrated and said it to my face that I will never forget him in any way. That he will forever be in my heart no matter how hard I tried to forget him, and he's going to wait till I crawl back to him, and then he will use me the way he likes. That words of his still stuck in my head and I can never forget it. I know how I felt when I left the country after a month of my graduation and how he kept sending me messages, angry one at that and then after 3 months he started sending snaps of different girls he has been with trying to get me angry and jealous. I shook my head not wanting to eat myself up over the past. But it's just so surprising that my family has suddenly gone nice towards him. "I just don't want anything that will ruin the ship we have formed with the Hawk family" My mother said making me crease my brows at her. "Ship? What ship is being formed between us and the Hawk family aside business?" I questioned confusedly. "Old master Hawk wants you and Damon to get back together, so your marriage is currently around the corner and what you did might have affected it, that's why I'm angry at you. But you better pray that he sees it as nothing" My mother answered as waves of shocks enveloped me almost sweeping my feet's off the floor. . Marriage? Get back to Damon? How can she set me up this way? So this was what this coming back for the holiday was all about me resuming the place of Damon's soon to be wife once again? Never I won't do this!!
