My five husbands by Loren rivera (classic novels for teens TXT) 📗

Joseph: Why?

Nora: I am with someone. 

Joseph: Oh,are you happy? 

         When I asked that, she hesitated. She looked down not making any eye contact with me. 

Nora: Ye..s. 

         Why was she lying? I bent down now kneeling in front of her chair. I made her look in my eyes. 

Joseph: Does he not keep you happy? Does he not treat you right? 

Nora: Um... 

Joseph: Love I will know if you lie. 

Nora: No. 

Joseph: Then why are you still with him?

Nora: It's complicated. 

Joseph: Love, say the word and I will save you from him. I swear I will always keep you happy. Just give me a chance. 

Nora's POV: 

          For the first time in my life, I wanted to break down and tell everything to him. For the first time when I felt like someone could save me from John. But that feeling went away as soon as it came. I knew john had connections with the bad people. I had heard him talk on the phone many times. And I couldn't risk it. I couldn't let anyone get hurt because of me. I couldn't put someone I care about at risk because of my selfishness. 

Nora: I am sorry Joseph. But this is someone I would like to deal with on my own. Something I can't let anyone get in the middle of. 

Joseph: I understand.  

Nora: Thank you though. You and your brother has done a lot for me,I am forever grateful to you. 

Joseph: Brother? Which one? 

Nora: I didn't know you had any brother as of last Friday. 

Joseph: Well, guess you didn't do your research. I have four brothers.

Nora: Oh, I was talking about james. Who are your other brothers? 

Joseph: Daniel, ron and shawn. 

          Wait, this cannot be possible right? 

Nora: Is Daniel an architect by any chance? 

Joseph: Yes. 

Nora: Shawn a painter?

Joseph: Yes. 

Nora: And ron a businessman,right? 

Joseph: Yes, but how do you know them? Have you met them? 

Nora: In the past week, I came across all your brothers individually. I cannot believe I met all you in such a little time but didn't realize you were all brothers. Now as I look back, you do look similar, but not much.

Joseph: And here I was thinking I am the most handsome man you have ever met. 

          I started laughing. After the serious conversation we had earlier, it was good to laugh. 

Nora: All five of you are very handsome. Your parents might be Greek god and goddess. 

         Seeing the look on his face, I realized that he did not have any parents. Maybe ron or shawn mentioned it. Shit. 

Nora: I am sorry about your parents.  

Joseph: Its alright,it was a long time ago. And for what you said earlier, you might be the angel sent in my way. 

Nora: Sure. 

        I said and giggled. It felt right. I did not how but I met all of them in a span of a week. How was it possible? As rosie would say, it is fate that brought you all together. Maybe but fate cannot save me from john. They might be rich but john had connections and money. That would result in him having the upper hand. I didn't want them to risk their lives. I didn't know much about them but I still cared very much about them. I started developing feelings for all of them, I know it was wrong. But it's not like I was going to do anything about it. 

Nora: I think its time for me to take my leave. Have your assistant contact me for further proceedings. 

          I got up to leave. As soon as I was standing, he got beside me and hugged me. So tightly, that it was like two lovers were separating. And he said in my ear. 

Joseph: If you need anything and I mean anything ever, don't hesitate to contact me or my brothers.  

Nora: Okay. 

         He left me after a second and I walked out of his cabin. If only I had been a little selfish and turned back. But I didn't. I walked straight not looking back even once. 

Joseph's POV: 

         My love, I am not letting anyone have you. You are mine. I can't sit here knowing that someone might be hurting you. You are meant to be with me,nora. When the right time comes, you will be in my arms,in the arms of someone who will always love and treasure you. 

Sometimes you have to take a little risk to be happy forever. 

Guys, so this is how nora met all the guys. Whose meeting was the best out of all the five?  

Enjoy... 

Love, loren❤
