Nora glanced at her brother from the corner of her eyes and quickly looked back at her plate, she was planning to speak to him about something but she was afraid that he would ask her why.

She had wanted to go and visit her aunt who lives in America, the truth is she wants to leave here and never go back, but at the same time she didn't want to leave her family, but the place here reminds her of what happened and that man.

​​

It's been more than a month since she last saw him since she last saw Ryan, the so-called first love of her life or it's better to say the first disappointment in her life.

She had given herself to a man that she doesn't know anything about, she doesn't even know his family name, how stupid she was to believe that the stories in the fantasy romance novels could happen in real life.

But she had to thank him because he teaches her a very harsh lesson that men can never be trusted, especially the ones she doesn't know.

"Nora." Damien called his sister who wasn't eating and seemed to be absent-minded, but she didn't reply.

"Nora." He called her again placing his hand on her shoulder.

"Yes." Nora who was in deep thought replied.

"You haven't been eating." Damien said pointing at her untouched food.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I will start to eat now." Nora smiled nervously and started to eat.

Damien's eyes narrowed as he stared at his sister, something was off with her and she was refusing to speak about it.

Ina stared at the pair of siblings and sighed.

After breakfast, Damien left for the company and left the two girls alone.

"Now that it's just the two of us, let's have girls chatt." Ina said as she brought two potato chips bags for both of them.

Nora took one of them and opened it.

"What do you want to talk about?" Nora asked as she started to eat the potato chips.

"About you, I noticed how you always sigh and absent-minded you are and one thing that can make a girl do that." Ina said and left her words unfinished as she munched the potato chips.

"Hmm, and what is that one thing?" Nora asked already knowing the answer but she decided to play along.

Moving closer to her, Ina said.

"That one thing is, love my dear, the only thing that makes a girl sigh and daydream is love, so tell me, who is that lucky guy?" Ina asked.

Nora smiled as she continued to eat the potato chips.

"There is no one, you are just imagining." She replied.

Ina did not believe her words but she didn't want to push her to speak, it seems that she has to discover who this mysterious guy is on her own.

Ina changed the subject and the two girls started to speak about fashion, this made Nora more relaxed and able to speak freely.

"Are you going to attend the party?" Ina asked she was talking about the business gathering party that was postponed.

Nodding her head no, Nora answered."No, I never did, so why I will go now."

"But it will be fine, you will get to see all the hot CEOs from all over the world." Nora said and saw how Nora looked at her.

"You are lucky that Damien isn't here." Nora said she looked at the time.

Ina giggled and said."I know he is going to punish me for saying that."

Nora shocks her head hopelessly, it looks like she is going to have a crazy sister in law.

...

At the Ray mansion, The next morning.

Nora was sitting with her parents in the living room and listened to them as they spoke and discussed some things about the upcoming business party that they are hosting in their mansion this year which is in two days from now, she watched as the workers moved around as they prepared the mansion for the event.

Nora felt bored and stood up to take a walk in the garden, at least the place was quiet.

She walked around the garden, her mind was full of thoughts about that man, Nora shocked her head and tried to not think about him and just enjoy the beautiful warm sunlight that was casting down at the grass and the flowers.

But she found herself thinking about him again and that made her hate herself more, she wondered if she was ever going to stop thinking about him or was going to spend her life like this, leaving only his memories.

She sighed in frustration at herself, she turned around and walked back towards the mansion going upstairs towards her room.

Closing the door behind her, Nora entered the bathroom to take a warm bath but she suddenly felt a strong urge to vomit and suddenly she couldn't hold herself anymore and emptied everything in her stomach.

The side effects of the antidepressant medications that she was taking, she was thinking about stopping them because taking them didn't help her at all.

Nora spent the next two days locking herself in her room, she didn't feel like talking or seeing anyone, her condition was getting worse and her parents didn't know what they should do to help her.

Opening the door to her daughter's room, Victoria entered with a small try in her hand.

She placed the try on the table and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"I brought you your breakfast since you didn't want to eat with us." Her mother said as she ran her fingers through her daughter's hair.

Nora didn't reply; she just kept on listing.

"Your aunt is sick, do you want to come with us to visit her?" Her mother asked, hoping that she would see yes because she didn't want to leave her here alone.

But Nora nodded her head no and turned her body meaning she doesn't want to talk.

Victoria sighed as she stood up leaving the room.

...

Nora watched from the window as her parents got into the car and felt sad, she didn't want to be alone here but at the same time she didn't want to go with them, she was sick and tired of the way that her relatives look at her as if she was crazy person, that's why she didn't go.

She heard a knock on the door and then the door opened and saw her brother Damien enter the room.

"Good morning." Damien said as he stood next to her.

"Aren't you not going with them?" Nora asked as she looked at her brother.

Warping his arms around her shoulder, Damien kissed the top of her head.

"No, I need to stay here for the company and to stay with you." He said and watched her smile.

Nora could hear Damien saying something but she couldn't focus, she suddenly started to feel dizzy and her vision became blurry and suddenly everything turned black around her.

"Nora, wake up." Damien tried to wake up his sister who suddenly fainted.

He picked up in his arms and rushed downstairs and got into his car.

"Drive to the hospital, quickly." Damien ordered the driver.

...

Fifteen minutes later, Nora arrived at the hospital and was rushed to the emergency room by the doctors.

Damien waited outside the room and tried to calm himself, he hoped that she didn't try to commit suicide as she did before.

A few hours later, Damien was sitting beside his sister in the hospital room, the doctors had said that is fine but they need to wait for the blood tests results before they discharge her from the hospital.

Nora was still sleeping when the doctor entered the room with the blood tests reports in his hands.

"Is everything alright?" Damien asked the doctor who had a worried look on his face, that this doctor had been the family doctor for a long time now, that's why Damien brought her here.

"Nora is pregnant." The doctor said and watched how Damien stood up from his chair shocked by the unexpected news.

"What? how could she be pregnant when she never had been with a man?" Damien asked thinking that there must be something wrong with the reports.

"I'm sorry, but she is pregnant, I asked the blood tests lab to repeat the test again when they called me the first time." The doctor said.

"As a doctor, I need to inform you that she needs to stop taking the antidepressant medications that she is taking because it will put the fetus in danger as well as her life, an OBG doctor will come and visit her and do the necessary check-ups." The doctor said and felt sorry for the family.

Damien stood there staring at his sleeping sister with mixed emotions, he was angry at her but at the same time he wasn't, who did this to her and could that be the reason for her behaviour for the past two months, did someone forced her? all kinds of questions filled his head and he wanted answers for them.
