THE BILLIONAIRES DEEPEST DESIRE

~NINA~

"Norah! Norah!" I yelled her name for the second time. Gosh! What kind of stubborn headed girl have I gotten? I hissed and walked to her room, stepping vigorously on the floor as I could also hear the sound of my own footsteps.

On getting to the room, I could hear them chatting and laughing. I stormed inside the room without knocking on the door, walking straight to Norah and dragging her by the ear.

"Ouch! That hurt Mom!" Norah said with groan.

"Good afternoon ma'am Nina." Her friend, Mia spoke.

"How are you dear?" I asked with a miffed tone and stared deeply at Norah with a glare. "Don't tell me you have gone deaf not to hear me calling out your name." I stated and let go of her ear.

"I'm sorry mom, but we were so engrossed in the gist and I didn't hear a thing." She replied and stood up from the bed. I became calm and gave her the list of stuff I need from the grocery store.

"Be back before 6pm, don't mess with me." I warned before I walked out of the room and headed for the kitchen.

~NORAH~

"I will be leaving too since you want to run an errand for your mom. You heard her Norah! Be back before 6pm." Mia mimicked mom and I was forced to laugh.

I gave the list a quick glance as I was satisfied with what was written on it. I almost rolled my eyes when I sighted the last option. "Butter" it was mainly for my step-father.

I and that man have never been on the same side. I feel like he is so jealous I get most of the attention from mom and there is nothing he can do about that. Hopefully when I get an opportunity to leave this house someday, I will do that without second thought. I was actually hoping my saving grace will be the day I get admittance into college. But school has never been my calling. I had to force myself just to scale through highschool. How am I going to achieve my dream when am stucked in this house huh?

"Hey! Aren't you going?" Mia jerked me out of my thought as she patted my shoulder.

"Uh! I am." I mumbled. I walked swiftly to my wardrobe and rummaged through it, finally; my hands rested on a pair of cloth. I changed what I was wearing into a tight blue jean and a big brown shirt with swirled of white on it. We stepped out of my room as I felt mom's presence in the kitchen. I could hear the sound of plates and running water obviously gushing out from the tap.

"Are you really serious about the whole dating thing? Norah you need to give someone a chance you know; not all men are like that scumbag you dated." Mia voiced out as she played with her fingers.

"I have told you countless times that I don't like being reminded of that fool." I added in gritted teeth and with a deep breath I was slowly calming myself.

The awful memories I was trying so hard to erase seems pointless when it came flashing right through my mind.

"I didn't mean to offend you okay; just think about it for a sec." She stated almost like a whisper. Suddenly; she turned with a force and faced me. " why don't you get married to Mr Baker huh? since he asked for your hand in marriage, and he can sponsor you for the modelling career you dream of, besides you don't want to hear the word college." She added.

"God forbid! I rather become a nun than marry that old man." I spoke immediately.

"How do you plan on getting money to travel for the New York fashion audition huh? You aren't even sure they are going to pick you when you get there." She stated with concern.

A smirked displayed on my lips and she looked at me with beady eyes. "What are you thinking? Don't tell me you're planning on doing something nasty." She voiced out in curiosity.
