Never love you

Hurt

Nora was resting when two men in doctor uniforms appeared in front of him. Ace was there too, looking very worried.

"We need to take him to the hospital right now," one of the doctors said urgently. Ace frowned, his face full of fear.

"Really? Is it that bad?" he asked, his voice trembling. The doctor nodded, and they started getting everything ready. As they were about to leave, the doctors stopped Ace.

"Only medical personnel are allowed beside the patient who are going on appointments," one of the doctors said firmly. Ace's eyes flashed with determination as he grabbed the doctor's collar.

"No, I’m coming with him," Ace insisted, not willing to back down. The doctor had no choice but to let him come along. During the ride, Nora handed Ace his handkerchief to wipe his sweat as he was sweating a lot. Eventually, Ace, worn out from worry, fell asleep.

They were in the bedroom when Ace opened his eyes and looked around, feeling relieved.

"Are you okay?" he asked, his voice full of concern and guilt. Nora nodded but pretended to be angry.

"Why do you even care? You didn't come to protect me. Why would you? I’m just your assistant. When I fell, you didn't help me up. Instead of calling a doctor, you fell asleep," he said, his voice shaking with emotion. As expected, Ace sighed, guilt showing in his eyes, and opened his laptop, pretending to work. This would have annoyed or hurt anyone else, but not Nora. He was determined to make Ace do what he wanted. Grabbing his laptop, he slammed it hard on the bed corner, breaking it into pieces.

"Nora!" Ace shouted, shocked and angry, raising his hand as if to slap him. If it were someone else, Nora would have fought back. But this was the first time someone had tried to slap him.

**Nora's POV**

Even though I come from a poor family, no one has ever tried to slap me. But before this jerk could slap me, I slapped him twice, the sound echoing in the room, and started to cry, hiding my face in my hands. My tears were hot and bitter, showing how hurt and betrayed I felt.

"There were important papers for the orphanage kids, Nora. Why are you so stubborn? You slapped me, but now you're crying," he said, his voice full of confusion and regret. He tried to help me up, but I pushed him away. When my back started to hurt, I took out my spray and was about to use it when he held my hands, his touch surprisingly gentle.

"Let me do it, please don't be mad. I don't like this," he pleaded, his voice soft. I didn't say anything; I just felt him lift my shirt and start to massage my back with his bare hands, which gave me chills and warmth at the same time. His touch was both comforting and exciting.

He slowly bent down near my back and sniffed my neck, a move that felt both close and confusing.

"Nora, did you fall asleep?" he asked. I shook my head, glaring at him, and saw him smiling.

"Okay, sorry. Are you feeling better?" he asked, gently rubbing his thumb in the middle of my back.

"Massage my thighs too," I said, pulling up my shorts. I smirked inside as I saw his face turn red like a tomato.

"Nora, be careful," he said and started to massage my hands. I began to moan on purpose, sensing he was holding back. But this idiot came closer and whispered, "You sound fake when you moan. Wait until you recover; I'll make you moan for real."

My heart started to race.

"Ace, just tell me what we are. You don't love me but always do this. At least make it clear what I am to you," I asked. After thinking for a while, he answered.

"Be my sugar baby. You aren't my boy toy, which means I will only be with you. You know I can't touch anyone else. Second, I won't touch you, I mean in that way, without your consent. Just flirting and kissing are allowed without consent too. Third, I will give you everything you want. Everything means everything, even my company, property, anything. Fourth, we will keep this secret because I don't want any commitment, especially from someone as innocent as you. You know our family is very rich, so dating you would just trouble you," he explained.

For a minute, I was confused, but I thought about it and only because of the second rule, I looked at him.

"So, what do you say? 200 million? Should I send it to your mom?" he asked. I nodded, raising my hands. He immediately covered his face, thinking I would slap him. I held his hands and shook them with mine.

"Okay, deal. But I want to add one more thing, please?" I asked, and he nodded.

"I need two days off because I’m sure I won't be able to walk tomorrow," I said, smiling. Ace ruffled my hair.

"You are so innocent yet so silly. Okay, rest for two days and then... umm, can we?" Ace hesitated to ask when Nora spoke.

" Have sex right? Yes yes I m up for it?"he said out of the blue, and Ace choked and began to cough.

"I-I was asking if, after your two-day leave, can we attend a meeting in Australia? I need someone with me, and my parents are on a week-long vacation. Besides them, I just want you with me because my sister will bring her girlfriend everywhere, and I quite don't like it," he said. Nora felt embarrassed and turned away when Ace grabbed him and pulled him closer.

"Don't be embarrassed. We will definitely do it too, if you agree," he said, and Nora blushed even more and immediately hugged Ace and the other guy just giggled and hugged him tightly and they both simply fell asleep.
