Nora woke up to the blinding lights of the morning sunlight that streamed its way into the room. Covered with a white blanket she stretched out her arms and was feeling energized when suddenly she paused to take a look at her surroundings. She was so shocked at the unfamiliar place she was in and quickly sat up right scenes of the previous night came flashing in her head. The mysterious man had said something she didn't remember to her and then she fainted. She suddenly lifted up her blanket to check her clothings wondering if the man had taken advantage of her but found nothing unusual still she felt as if she was forgetting something
She got on her feets and went straight for the door expecting it to be locked but it opened right away. She was surprised and decided to explore the place. It was a huge mansion. She went around for about half an hour and was not impressed by any of the furnitures everything were mostly in black or dull colours giving the house a sense of gloom
Nora continued wandering about until she stumbled upon a room which she guessed was the masters bedroom. Before she could do any other thing the door to the washroom opened and a man clad in a bathrobe entered her view. His hair still a little damp. He clearly just had a shower
Nora remained stunned and in awe of the man's beauty 'so handsome' she whispered mesmerized she could proudly say that she had seen her own fair share of handsome men but when compared to the man in front her they all turned into a joke.
The man had a set of perfect features that was unrivaled. His appearance was unique with a majestic aura around him that seem to portray authority. She felt like no one could compare to him
Nora felt cold as she saw his pair of black eyes staring back at her intently bringing her back to her senses. She took a step back and asked "who are you"
"You seem to forget people so quickly"
Hearing his voice she realized he was the man from last night. It was dark and she had only focused on his pair of bright eyes. She definitely had no idea he was this handsome
Nora coughed awkwardly seeing as he isn't welcoming "Thank you for your help last night. I'll wait outside so we can discuss what you want in return"
'I can also stay if you want' she added internally giggling to herself as she reluctantly turned around
"I helped you twice so... " The man said looking at her suggestively
"Huh? How was it twice? "
"Miss nora I could have easily left you in the middle of the road when you fainted but I brought you to my home instead. What do you think? "
Nora was speechless
How could he be so calculative?
She had lots of money if that was it but seeing the situation he doesn't look like he lacked money right? Then... What could he possibly want
She had a bad feeling about it
Few minutes later
Different kind of dishes were served before her but she dared not take a bite even though she was so hungry
This man was so calculative he might count it as one if the favours he was doing for her
The man seemed to have seen through her
"Don't worry, its free" he said
"Great then" getting the confirmation she needed she digged in immediately
"How may I address you?" She asked realizing that she didn't still know his name but he had called her by her name earlier which she didn't find surprising. Her name was constantly on the internet afterall she was the boss of a big company
"Devin" the man replied her
"Oh devin" she repeated 'Though I'll rather call you handsome
"So what are u asking for in exchange for the help you provided?"
Nora asked curiously after racking her brain trying to guess what he might request for but then she only saw him sizing her up leading her to think about something...
'What if he wants my body?'
'Heh, he's definately not that perveted'
"I'll tell you when the time comes" were his simple answer before he continued eating
As Nora stared at him, the image of him last night replayed in her mind
The way he dealt with those guys easily without lifting a finger. It made her curious
That kind of power should not be common right?
She knew that he didn't just help her out of goodwill
He had a reason and what he might want from her could be what she couldn't give
She could see it... The cold eerie vibe that surrounded him
He definitely was dangerous! Very dangerous that any normal person would prefer to stay far away from him alas she was Nora, the more something seemed off limits the more reason she would get close to it and the man sitting opposite her was not an exception. Besides if she could get him on her side then those hunters wouldn't be able to hurt her
Having a new goal in mind, Nora smile charmingly as she fixed her gaze on him which he noticed and stared back at her
"Say handsome, you look like you would be my future husband"
Devin looked at her strangely then decided to ignore her and continue eating but he could feel her two pairs of eyes watching him intently which somehow made him unable to continue eating. Dropping his utensils he slowly faced her only to be met with sparkling eyes that seemed to look mesmerized by him
"Stop staring" he said but it was more like an order
Nora blinked twice as if she didn't understand him "sigh, its not everyday I get to see beauty like this" she cupped her cheeks with both hands looking dreamy "will you consider being my prince charming. I'll definitely take care of you"
"No thank you" devin replied casually standing up to leave while Nora quickly followed him
"How can you reject me like that" pouting she feigned a pitiful look "or... Am I not up to your standards!?
"Owww that cannot be right!" Exclaiming Nora feigned shock as she looked at him wanting to say more but a voice interrupted
"Brother?" They both turned around to look at the man who was standing in shock as if he could not believe his eyes. He dropped the box he was holding
"You... You brought a woman to the house!? And... And she's touching you..."
Nora looked at her hands which were tugging at his sleeves but the next words she heard made her gulp in fear
"And... She's actually not dead yet or is she about to die? Wait, can this be good news or bad news? No, I have to tell the others... I can't keep this to myself" he took out his phone and started to dial a series of numbers
