A week later, Norah and Alan arrived at their destination, the city of Kelson, the capital of Sage, a country in the east of the continent.
In reality, Alan is not ordinary; he is one of those tycoons. However, he is very humble and compassionate. A 30 year old widower, he enters the mansion with Norah, who is tired and pregnant behind him. The butler comes to greet them with the utmost respect and reverence.
"This is Norah; I will mentor her for a while," Alan introduces Norah to the butler. Then, he instructs the butler to call all the staff. They stand in a line, listening to the words of their supreme chief, Young Master Alan.
"Miss Norah will be treated with the utmost respect. Anyone who disrespects her will face consequences." Which proceeded with vigorous nods coming from the staff.
"Elena, you will take care of Norah; she is young and in need of support," Alan instructs his childhood nanny.
A short but beautiful lady appears to be in her late forties. Her black hair is tied up in an elegant bun. She smiles lovingly at Norah and extends her hand to the young pregnant woman.
"Come, Miss Norah; you must be tired," she says gently.
Norah could hardly believe it; her noble mentor was a wealthy man from another country.
"Rest, Norah; I will explain more to you later." Alan heads to his quarters.
Norah follows Elena to her new room. Upon entering, she gasps in awe, the room seems larger than her entire mother's house. The curtains are beige, a color that Norah loves. The enormous and elegant bed is positioned in the center of the room, while on the right side stands a closet room filled with suitable clothes ranking from dresses, skirts, jeans, gala wear, heels, jewellery,and wears of all sorts for her.
There's a shelf with books in the left corner. The bathroom is opposite the closet.
"It's time for a bath, Miss; I'll announce lunch in thirty minutes," Elena says kindly.
"Norah... just call me Norah, Aunt Elena." Elena smiled and retreated the chamber.
Norah walks over to the balcony of her room; the view of the city is magnificent. After some time, she takes a bath but can't stop thinking about Jacob. Images of him keep flashing through her mind.
"Why did I fall in love with you?" she whispers desperately to herself.
Minutes later, Elena calls Norah to have lunch with Alan in the dining room.
Alan can't take his eyes off Norah; she is a jade beauty. The beige dress styled like a princess makes her look like a queen showcasing the curves of her lovely body. Her long blonde hair shines like the sun down to her slim waist, and her full lips perfectly complement her beautiful face, inviting one to kiss them. Her brown eyes are filled with mystery. However, the pain in Norah's eyes is evident.
Alan rises from his chair and walks up to Norah at the top of the stairs.
He leads her to the dining room and gently pulls out a chair for her to sit down. Moments later...
"Help yourself, Norah." Alan says kindly. "But still, I don't understand, you're rich and yet you pretended to be a mechanic? Why?"
"I wanted to help someone, and fate brought you to me, you need help, and so does your baby," Alan replies gently.
"I don't deserve this," Norah lowers her face in shame.
"I am your mentor; I will teach you how to be strong. Now eat my dear." He instructed taking a bite of meat.
"Alright." Norah mumbles as she began eating.
