My five husbands by Loren rivera (good english books to read .TXT) 📕

            ( This chapter is also in the past. How the other three met nora) 

The guys meet nora for the first time: 

Nora's POV: 

           Yesterday, I met the two most amazing guys in my life. Ron and shawn❤. If I was not in a relationship already, I would have surely dated one of them. They seemed interested. However, here I am stuck with John. There is nothing left in our relationship. But whenever I try to break up with him, he guilt traps me. He doesn't seem to be in love with me anymore, so I just don't understand why he wants to be with me. I grew up in foster homes being an orphan. And not having anyone constant in your life sucks. 

             John was nice in the beginning. In fact he was the best. He was the one who helped me when no one did. When I was 16, I left my foster house because no one seemed to care and I didn't want to be a burden on someone. That was when John helped me. He helped me get a job in a coffee shop and rented out an apartment for me. I paid him back as soon as I had the money. But still he did help me from being a homeless. Months later he asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes. Everything went well for a couple of months but then he started getting abusive and aggressive. But what he did for me kept me with him. I owed him that much. I thought it was just a phase, girl I was wrong. It only seemed to escalate to the point where I broke up with him. But then he begged me to take him back saying he would change but he didn't. So,here I am waiting for someone to sweep me of my feet and take me with them. I don't want someone to save me, I just want someone to be with me. Someone who I know will never hurt me. I don't have many friends except Katie but she and I are two opposite poles. But I am still glad to have her. 

           The doorbell rang. I opened the door to come face to face with the monster. He entered pushing me aside. He made himself home and sat on the couch. 

John: I think you should move in with me. 

Nora: Uh...um, I will think about it. 

John: What's there to think about? Don't you love me anymore? Or what I did for you meant nothing to you. 

Nora: I said I will think about it. 

John: Let's have lunch outside somewhere. 

Nora: I have already had lunch and I have an important meeting at the NGO. 

John: Why did you work at the NGO at such a young age? You have to first live your life and then after that you give back to the world. 

Nora: I am just returning the favor. You helped me when I needed it and I want to help everybody I can to have somebody constant in your life. That's why I work at the NGO. 

John: Well, I helped you so you should be returning the favor to me. And I think I have a pretty good idea how you can do it? 

          He was suddenly behind me. His hand wrapped around my waist. And he was moving his hand upwards. I revolted to his touch. I turned around and pushed him away from me. 

Nora: I am not ready. 

John: When will you be ready? I waited till you turned 18, but it's been a year since then, how much more are you going to make me wait? 

Nora: I am just not ready,john. I am sorry but I cannot do this. 

John: It's okay Sweetheart. I will wait even if I have to wait forever but just don't break up with me. 

         Is he crazy? One minute he is all angry and the next he is sweet. 

John: Just remember that if you break up with me, I can destroy your life. 

          Yeah, he is also very rich. I don't know how but he has a ton of wealth. And money speaks. So, one more reason to bear him because if I leave him, he will make my life hell. 

John: Come on, I will drop you off to the NGO. 

Nora: I have a car, I can drive. 

John: I said I am dropping you off, that's final. 

         He said in a pissed off tone and didn't leave any room for argument so I followed him to his car. We sat down in his Mercedes-Benz Maybach Exelero,one of the most expensive cars. He likes to flaunt his money too. 

         He parked exactly in front of the NGO building. He kissed me on the lips. And then I got out of the car. The building was not huge. It was a two story building with 20 employees and some people helpers who come and do social work whenever they feel like it. As soon as I walked in, I came face to face with the lady who runs the NGO aka my boss. It's not like she is a typical boss,she just takes the final decision. She is also the founder of this organization. Rosie, a 35 year old woman, who was a businesswoman earlier but now runs an NGO with the help of her wife and husband. Yes, she is a throuple relationship. She doesn't give a fuck about what anyone says to her. She just enjoys her life with her partners.

Rosie: Nora dear, are you alright, you seem sad? 

Nora: Oh, its nothing, don't worry rosie.

Rosie: If it is because of that bastard that you are in a relationship with, I am gonna break his face. 

         Rosie is the parent that I never had. She is always there for me. Takes care of me like a mom and always ready to fight for me. 

Rosie: I told you that you are too good for him dear. You should find yourself someone else,someone who is worthy of you. 

          Now,what do I say to her? I have never told anyone about how john behaves with me sometimes and I am not ready to. So, I told her the only thing I knew that would shut her up.

Nora: Its all in God's hands at the end of the day, rosie. If the almighty wants me to find someone else, I will. 

Rosie: I am sure that the almighty has better plans for you. You will be find someone or two when its time.

          She chuckled at her own joke. I don't judge her for how many people she is in a relationship with as long as she is happy and content. 

Nora: Um, is everything ready for the meeting?
