Chapter 10: Nora’s Brothers

Words : 1061 Updated : Jun 23rd, 2025
I couldn’t sleep a wink after that eventful encounter with one of Nora’s brothers, although I don’t know which one it was. I walked to the bookshelf to find something readable, but couldn’t concentrate even a bit because of those sapphire eyes and kissable lips. ’Wait a second, what kissable lips? Are you crazy, Myra? This is simply nuts. He’s Nora’s brother and a rude ass jerk at that. A handsome face and a rotten personality are a bad combination. Bloody Narcissist’ Shaking my head, I tried to disperse his thoughts from my mind. ’Shoo away, gooooo. Arghh, forget it. Let’s just sleep.’ I closed the book and tried to get some shut-eye. _______________________ "Ummm, sheesh, who is this? Aman, can you, pleeeease, keep your voice do?n. I’m sleeping," I mumbled in my sleep because of the sudden disturbance. ’Wait, who am I calling for? I’m in Kimberg, and Amana is at the college in Damona.’ I woke up with a start when that realization came to me. "Woah, you look like a panda, Ra-ra. What happened to you? Couldn’t sleep much?" I heard Nora’s voice from somewhere. My eyes were groggy from the lack of sleep, so I couldn’t spot her immediately. "Yeahhhhhh, jetlag. I guess" I spoke, my voice was a bit hoarse and throaty. ’I guess her brother didn’t say anything to her. I better zip my mouth shut.’ "Yeah, I can see that. It’s so unlike you to sleep in. Anyways, freshen up, buddy, the breakfast’s ready. Everyone is waiting for you." My eyebrows touched my hairline as I looked at her, questioning her, "Everyone is waiting? Like everyone in your family." "Yups, you couldn’t meet my brothers yesterday. Sooooo, kinda everyone will be there," Nora said in a casual tone. "I want to introduce you to them properly, as I said before. They are the best brothers in the world. They will truly like you." ’That means, that narcissist ass jerk of a guy will also be there, Geez.’ I mumbled, cursing my luck out. But seriously, what can I even do in this situation? One way or another, I have to face him someday. He is one of Nora’s brothersafter all, I can’t hide forever.’ "Just give me ten minutes. Getting up off my bed real quick, I marched towards the bathroom to freshen up. As we were walking towards the elevator, Nora kept on rambling nonstop about how after breakfast, she would show me around her house, nahhh, this isn’t a house. It is the palace. How cool her big brothers are, and how they always dote on her. I only nodded in reply; my whole mind was filled up with the incident from the night before. ’Hey Myra, what are you even so afraid of? You have already apologized, and that was just an honest mistake, right? So, be confident. That Alpha douchebag was also in the wrong, calling names and all that nonsense. His personality is rotten; that isn’t your fault. He did not even apologize in return.’ Just like that, we reached the dining hall. Sara was already seated in her designated seat, but there was no Noah today. But three young men were seated at the table, whose backs were visible from where I was standing. "Good Morning, girls. Come, Nora, Myra, have all been waiting for you. Come sit, dear," Sara called for me politely and lovingly. She is a sweet person. As I sat opposite the three unknown men, I could feel their intense gaze on me, which was making me nervous for some unknown reason; my hands were clammy. Although I just took a shower but I could feel sweat beads forming on my back and my palms too. Nora broke the ice between us all, introducing me to them, "Myra, meet my brothers." I looked straight at the three godly figures, seated in front of me. Two of them were smiling dazzlingly, and the third one only looked at me with a blank expression, or I could say, he didn’t seem interested in knowing who the hell I even was. The one with the golden green eyes spoke, showcasing his pearly white teeth and radiant smile to me, "Hey, I am Nora’s third eldest brother, Dion Everests. Wow, Nor, your friend is so beautiful," and winked at me, teasingly. "Thank you, and I am Myra Miracle, Nora’s childhood friend from Damona." ’He seems way too open and friendly to me, being all informal from the get-go.’ The one sitting on the left side of the person named Dion, uttered in a low voice, "We have heard tons of stories about you, Myra. I am so glad to finally meet you in person. I am Elio Everests, Nora’s fourth eldest brother." He finished his introduction with a kind and way more natural smile. "Ohh phhhhleeease, you are only older by four or five minutes, okaaaaaay. Don’t show that off," Nora rebuked him, and everyone giggled at her antics. "Still, I came into this world first, so you will always be the baby, right, baby sister. I’m so glad we found you, you," Elio said playfully. ’What a joyous family indeed.’ I was grinning from ear to ear when I saw them bickering and laughing happily together. Nora always wanted a family lik, that hat and she has finally got one. Nora then looked at the one with a stoic expression and said, "Brother Brave, why are you not saying anything?" I glanced at him and was stunned straight away. He was the guy from last night. But, but, wasn’t his hair short, that is what I remember. This guy has long hair, which is done in a man bun. It made me skeptical. ’Is he him or is he not?’ My brows creased slightly as I contemplated. In a firm and rigid tone, the guy spoke, his voice deep, "Hello, I am Nora’s eldest brother, Brave Everests. Nice to meet you, Ms. M.iracle" he was all formal. I narrowed my eyes. R, he is not the same guy from last night, I can tell from the way he greeted me. But, but~ he has the same face. If he were the same person, he wouldn’t have used that tone with me. I am sure of that.
