‘The life lessons that we hold most dear have come from dance. Dance is storytelling and language; it is a means of expressing emotions both powerful and beautiful. Dance is art, Paint your dream and follow it. Dance with your heart, and your feet will follow.’
“Nora.” He called out softly and fainted, in their haste to get him inside, no one saw the small smile plastered on his face. His plans are going perfectly well.

Casala:
“A love greater than mine you say?” Lora demanded in shock as she removed her eyes from her phone.
“Not just yours Lora, but anyone’s. The love guiding him couldn’t allow my dark magic to penetrate through him. Paul isn’t just protected by that powerful love Lora, he has the blessings of a goddess who is protecting him from harm, so I will advice you, stick to David and let Paul be.” Dee said and suggested.
“Never Dee, I will never try such a thing. Its true I have David, but who I truly longed for is his nephew, who is Paul. The first day I saw him I want him by all means, but he doesn’t want me. I want Paul all to myself, why can’t he love me. I am beautiful, sexy and appealing to the eyes why then does he not love me.” Lora said and nodded her head as a thought suddenly came to her. “There is something that just came through my mind now, I hope it worked because I am trying it. I am going to David’s residence to see him then I will be flying to Valten to see who I want to see.”
“Why are you going to Valten?” Dee voice came again surprise.
“I don’t need to say it Dee, you will see it, after a you’re coming with me.” Lora reply with a smile. Paul will be hers either by crook or by hook.

Mark met his son, David, parking some of his clothes into his suitcase.
“Where are you going son?” Mark asked confused by what he was seeing.
“I am going to Floda to meet Ora dad.” David answered briefly.
“Why do you want to visit her when you fully know what she has been through, don’t you think you are talking a huge risk again.” Mark said. “What if someone appears like you once more to her and whisk her away?”
“I know that father, I am going to Floda to tell her that I was not the one with her and maybe confuse her to like me. I just want her to love me dad.” David responded closing his suitcase and facing his father.
“And if she doesn’t return your love? What will you do? Kill yourself? Look son, its high time I tell you the truth. Don’t you see all these that has been happening as a sign that the universe isn’t on your side? If Ora truly was yours from beginning, she would have been with you and love you. I will advice you this once like a father, leave Ora alone and focus on Lora who loves you.”
“Father, I am not leaving Ora alone, in fact I don’t care if the universe is in support of I and Ora, all I know is that she will be mine soon and I will crush whosoever that stands in my way of getting Ora.” David told his father and picked his suitcase up and was going down the stairs when he met Lora heading towards him. His was was behind him.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
He wasn’t surprised when he saw her, in fact he was glad she was here. He want to break up with her so that he can focus more on Ora.
Lora looked stunning in her dress gave David a smile. Her blue dress waist is thin, but it’s a slim fit. A bow has been wrapped around her waist and positioned slightly to one side. Below the waist the dress fits snug around her and has a suit skirt style. The dress reaches to just below her knees and is longer in the back. She looked beautiful, if it was before David will have start praising her looks.
She was surprised to see David with a suitcase.
“Where are you going dear?” She asked in a lovely.
“I am going somewhere, I have something to tell you, I was actually planning to tell you on the phone but seeing you here is okay for me.” David told her in a serious tone.
“And what can that be?” Lora asked with her raised eyesbrows.
“It’s over between us Lora. We are no more together.”
Lora was shocked and speechless. “What!? Why? Did I do something annoying to you that I don’t know off?”
“No you did nothing wrong, I have fallen out of love for you, please try to understand. I am no longer interested in you again, now if you will excuse me, I have a flight to catch.” David said and left Lora who still looked surprise.
She wasn’t expecting that….. yet.
She turn back to face Mark. “What has gotten into your son sir, why did he break up with a hot cake like me?”
“Don’t mind my son Lora, he is in love with a lady who is so out of his reach. I have told him to stick with you but no, he wouldn’t listen to me. He is going to meet the girl again.” Mark explained.
“So who is this riff raff that wants to steal my man away from me?” Lora demanded slightly angry.
“Ora, the ballet dancer.” Mark replied her with a tired sign.
“Wait a minute…. which Ora are you taking about?” Lora demanded immediately.
“I just said Ora the ballet dancer, the one they refer to as the goddess of dance.” Mark explained better.
“But I thought something happened to her…. you know, I thought she died or something.” Lora said in surprise. She wasn’t expecting that either.
“Who told that? I mean how did you come to hear about Ora’s?” Mark asked looking at Lora in a suspicious manner.
“Your son told me. Wait…. did you just say David wey to visit her? As in visit Ora?”
“Yeah. I have told him that he should leave her alone.”
“Oh, so he is in love with Nora who mysteriously survived that fall.” She whispered to herself that Mark didn’t heard what she said.
“Thank you sir, I will be on my way now but be rest assured that David and I are still dating.”

Paul was coming out of the room where Eric was, he had went in to check and also see if he was awake. Eric was still unconscious.
He hoped the art of healing he had performed on Eric saved him.
He saw Lora and his father laughing at whatever stupid joke she was telling him.
He angrily walked down the stairs towards them.
“Father what is she doing here?” He demanded immediately in anger.
“Paul, this is Lora, my favorite famous singer.” Robert said in all smiles.
“I know that already, what I am asking is what is she doing here!?”
“Keep your voice down Paul. Anyway, she is just telling me that she likes you and since she is my most favorite celebrity singer, Paul, I want you to marry her, in fact I am ready to give you my blessings.”

Kate called her private doctor who came to clean and bandage the deep wounds on him.
Nora was by his side throughout as the doctor attend to him in the room they had took him.
Wow, even in this state, Philip is handsome.
Nora thought, but why wasn’t her heart beating fast when she was told it was her Philip.
Craig choose that moment to join her as his eyes were swollen from cry.
“Your son is out of danger now, I will write down the things that will be given to him until he heals.” The doctor told Craig jotting things down. He left the room to go and meet Kate.
Craig Immediately went to his son side and held his hand into his. His son wasn’t a little boy any more, he is now a man.
Craig cried at that thought.
“Philip can you hear me, its me your dad, you’re going to be fine.” Craig said with tears.
Nora went to and meet Craig and touched his shoulder in a assuring way. “He will be fine, please be strong for him.” Nora told him softly.
“Who would have done this to my only son, look at how he’s badly wounded.” Craig said.
“We are going to find out who did this to him and have him or her arrested. And also, we will need to ask him where he was all these years, we have a lot of questions that needs answers, so instead of crying encourage him to not give up and wake up.”
“Thank you Nora.” Craig said cleaning his tears.
Unknown to them, Philly was hearing them, he knew what to say after he pretends to wake up from his feigned fainting. The doctor has played his own part and left, after all, it took him many years to plan this that Nora will come to love him.
