Chapter 14

Eleanora's eyes fluttered open next morning. Groaning, she turned over her stomach feeling a sharp throbbing headache. She felt really sick and it felt like she would throw up anytime soon. 

"YO!" Lucifer yelled entering her room.

Nora let out a whine of displeasure. He stifled his chuckle finding her curled up under the blanket.

"Hangover ehh?" He asked and took a seat beside her.

She mumbled something incoherent.

"Vincent is gushing over your cuteness from since the whole last night." He said playfully and rubbed her head.

Nora stared at her pillow with her closed eyes. Sadly, she remembered everything from last night and she was really embarassed about it.

"What did you drink?" He asked curiously.

"I swear it tasted like some sort of sweet berry juice." She answered truthfully.

She wanted to bang her face against the wall as he let out a roaring laughter. 

But she could only stick her bottom lip out and look up at him.

"S-stop laughing." She threw a pillow at his face.

"Fine fine little lady. There's no need to get violent. Take a shower, you stink and come downstairs. You are going to mall to get your school supplies." He threw the pillow back at her face and hastily slipped out of her room before she could yell at him.

Nora groaned but got up from the bed and dragged herself to the bathroom to get ready.

She was still feeling aftereffects of hangover but after taking a cold shower it felt a little better.

She headed downstairs and surprisingly found her brothers gathered around at dining table. It seemed like, today, everyone was present for breakfast.

"G'morning." She mumbled and slumped down on the chair.

Small lazy groans, excited and neutral chorus of good morning came back.

"Soooo. How are you feeling Nora?" She looked up at Vincent and held back a groan at his amused face.

"Terrible."

Loud chuckles resonated in the room.

"What do you want for breakfast?" Angel asked as maids were looking at her in expectation.

"I don't think I'm in the state to stomach anything." 

William raised his brow but didn't reply as his eyes fell on Damon who made his way to her chair.

He set something down in front of her. 

Nora made a face at it. It was ugly, green in color.

"Eww. I don't wanna." She immediately said.

"Don't be a brat and drink it. It will help with hangover." Hunter commented. Feeling slightly bold, she looked up at him with narrowed eyes.

"No thank you. I will be fine without it." 

He glared at her making her shrink back.

"Eleanora! Drink the juice, it would help." William's stern voice resonated in the room, slicing the tension like butter.

Lucifer and Angel stifled a chuckle, noticing a defeated look on her face as she begrudgingly took the glass. 

Feeling considerate, Damon typed something on his phone and showed it to her.

'You only have to drink half of it.' Nora looked at it and smiled faintly.

He patted her head one time as she closed her eyes and gulped down the half of vegetable juice. She set the half empty glass down and made a disgusted face at it.

"Eww. It tastes more horrible than I imagine." She mumbled under her breath gaining few laughs.

William finished his breakfast and looked at her.

"As Lucifer must have informed you that you are going to mall to get your school supplies, Hades and Angel will be going with you. If you want anything else, you can freely get it. Here's my card. Shop whatever you want, you don't have to worry about money." Nora's eyes grew slightly wide as he passed a black and golden card in her direction.

"Wait! I really don't need it. Just give me some cash and I am really sure that it would be enough."

"Like I have already said that you don't have to worry about money. You can buy the whole mall and trust me it won't even scratch my bank accounts." William told her with his usual expressionless face. 

"But i-it really doesn't seem right, William. It's your money, I can't really take it." Nora shook her head and stood up with the intention to give it back to him. Everyone remained silent and watched the scene unfold. It might be the first time since anyone had ever said no to William.

He stood up and calmly made his way to her. Nora suddenly started to feel tense as Damon and others stiffened.

"L-look I really a-appreciate it b-but please don't b-be angr---" 

Nora paused, her body went completely still as she felt his heavy hand on top of her head. 

Her eyes went slightly wide in surprise as he ruffled her hair. 

"You deserve the whole world, Eleanora." 

He slowly closed her fist around the card and patted her hand.

"Hades! Angel! I don't want to hear complaints." With a small warning, he grabbed his coat and walked out from the room. Nora kept staring at his back that she didn't even feel Vincent hug her gently.

"Have fun." He smiled at her and grabbed his coat too and followed William. 

"Don't get in trouble brat or you will deal with me." Hunter huffed and made his way upstairs. Lucifer winked at her and followed him along with Damon who gave her a thumbs up.

Nora looked at the card again and frowned before pocketing in her jeans.

"Shall we go?" Angel asked. She turned to face him and nodded. To her surprise, she found Hades already walking out of there. 

Angel and her followed him to the garage.

"Where did he go?" Nora asked confused. She tried to locate her laziest brother that she always interacted with him sleeping around the mansion. 

Angel rolled his eyes as a red Lamborghini stopped in front of him. A guard slid out of the driver seat. And as usual, he found Hades taking a nap in the backseat.

Nora was surprised seeing this and at Angel's motion she got into the passanger seat and he got in behind the wheel. As Angel drove out of the garage, Nora couldn't help but notice too many varieties of cars. 

It was unbelievable how godly rich her brothers were.

"Another obsession of Hades beside sleeping is cars." Angel answered noticing her observing around.

She turned her head to face him as he swiftly pulled out of the garage and drove past the entrance gates.

"But he's always too lazy to drive, I guess." Nora whispered her theory.

Angel chuckled and nodded.

Amused Nora glanced back at Hades. The laziness of his was beyond her and she couldn't understand how her brothers always deal with it.

But what Nora didn't know that she was in a big surprise.
