Nora
Living at Hilda's house has been a dream. Everything is so expensive here, that I am even afraid to touch it. We have people available 24/7, 365 days a year. Money and position have the power to buy anything you want. And it's been a month since I divorced Erik, and my mood has not changed. There is an emptiness in my soul, and I don't know what is causing it. There is no way that I could be with him. These last three years have been proof that our relationship was going nowhere. Respect is something he could never give me. Despite the fact that I lacked nothing monetarily, there was something still missing in my life. It was a man who valued me and gave himself to me completely, as I did. Erik was not that man. And despite the love I had for him, he did everything in his power to put out that flame.

Nora and Erik; When we were nothing Chapter 32
Looking my bestNoraIt's hard not to be impressed with Hilda. I suppose after spending two hours at the beauty salon, it has to be. She chose to wear her hair in an elegant bun at the base of her neck. It is embellished with two sapphire diamond brooches. It's amazing how beautiful she looks. Her dress is mermaid-style, blue. The head brooches are the perfect match. She selected this style of dress because of her short stature because she said that other styles made her look bad. I'm not sure about that, but the result is very good. And of course, she is wearing the highest heeled shoes I have ever seen. But being honest, they don't make much of a difference. Poor soul.As for me, I want to show off my legs. I am only 23 years old, and I want to feel like one. Taking risks, being free. I no longer have limits, nor do I have anyone to impose them on me. Therefore, I chose a stra

The first time I met him Nora The more I heard about all this, the more it interested me. I could not believe all the work they do, and we as normal citizens, are not aware. She also told me that thanks to donations from these kinds of charity balls, it was how they stayed afloat. The government supported them, but as it was clear, it was not enough. The safety of the rescuers came first, and if they were not protected, the victims less. Everything she said made perfect sense. We were walking towards another scene where another group of rescuers was explaining what was happening to some guests. The man who was giving the explanation was turning his back on us, so Paty called him to introduce me. “Edward, Hey!” He turned quickly and saw us out of the corner of his eye. We joined the conversation after he motioned for us to do so. He was not older than thirty, and it was obvious that he was in good health and shape as his job required. He was your typical American next door neighbour

The breakfastErikI was in the dining room having breakfast with my mother. When Claudia made her presence known, greeting us all effusively. "Good morning everyone, what's for breakfast today?" She walked over to me, and kissed me on the cheek, then she sat down next to me, as she waited for the maid to come to take care of her. Then, Claudia turned her attention to my mother, smiling at her. "How have you been, Rosa? I have not seen you around. What have you been doing lately?" My mother raised her head, looking into her eyes. She glanced at me, giving me a disapproving look."Erik, I'd like to have my breakfast in peace from now on. In addition, I wish I could be in my own home without having to meet all kinds of people that I don't know or don't want to meet. That's the minimum I expect. If you aren't able to offer it to me, I'd better find another place more private to move to. This house looks more like a catwalk than a home." My mother returned to her food without saying anyth

A suspisious lunch Erik The next day, I found out that my mom had left in the morning. I was devastated and didn't know what to think about it. Her words cut me like knives. Deep down, I know she's right, but she's my mother. And she should stay by my side. First Nora, and now my mother. The only two women I have ever loved, and they left me. I accept that I am not the easiest to deal with, but they owe me blind loyalty. The knock on the door brought me to reality. Claudia entered without waiting for my permission, she saw me and came over to me. She sat on my lap and start to kiss me on the mouth. I kissed her back since at this moment, I needed all the comfort available. The kiss heated up, igniting my desire. I spread her legs and reached into her panties. Claudia was ready for me. Her moan told me what

The attemptErkHiding behind the table, I immediately fell to the ground. I took out the gun I was hiding in my calf and used the table as a shield. I started shooting at the same time. The men hid wherever they could; one of my bullets struck one in the chest, who cried out in pain. As I was shooting at them, the other two started shooting back at me. A bullet managed to pass the wood table, hitting me in the leg. "GRRRR" But despite the pain, I kept fighting back. I emptied my pistol into them and quickly reloaded. I started shooting in all directions until there was not a single bullet left. After that, there was only silence. I still had my knife, so I took it out of my coat pocket and got ready for the attack. But this never came. I looked out to see what was happening. And with satisfaction, I saw that

Thinking about him Nora I was lying on my bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking. Why is it that every time I imagined his face, the butterflies in my stomach would flutter non-stop? It's not like I'm 15 years old. But I can't contain the emotion Edward provokes in me. Is it love at first sight? No, no, that doesn't exist, does it? I turned onto my side and hugged my pillow. Since the charity ball, I have not seen or spoken to Edward, and I'm so distressed and anxious. I want to at least talk to him on the phone. That would cure my anguish for a moment. On the day of the charity ball, Edward, true to his word, was with me the entire time. He explained what they did, how they did it, and why they needed to do it. In this ballroom, every detail was carefully planned, in order to convey the difficulty of the situation rescuers face during an incident. They are always at risk of losing their lives. I was in awe of Edward's bravery. Every word that came out of his mouth was a new unders

The call Nora “Of course I'm ready. I can't wait to try that tempura sushi roll.” With a smile from ear to ear, I approached Hilda and took her by the hand. We left the house and the limousine was already waiting for us. The driver helped us up, and we immediately set off, heading to the shopping centre that I adore so much. On the way, Hilda and I were talking about the coffee machine that caught my attention. “Ah, that, yes, it was a gift that the Italian ambassador gave us at our wedding.” Wow! I was surprised. No, I was stunned. “You have to get me one like it. My life won't be the same without it.” Hilda looked at me in amazement, "why do you say you wouldn't be the same? It is at your disposal whenever you want, and you know it.” I gave her a shy smile and shook my head in denial. "No Hilda, you have stolen my heart, and I really ap

An amazing date Nora This trip to the mall was something that I can never forget. This day was full of new experiences, and I discovered feelings that I didn't know existed. We also had a lot of fun. After we finished eating, we went shopping, but not only that, we found an arcade, Edward vs. Nora, because Hilda refused to take part. She said that this was for children and that she was already on the other side. Whatever that means. Then, Edward took us to buy ice cream. The store had at least 50 different flavours. I chose one that said piña colada and coconut. Edward went for a boring vanilla flavour. But the ice cream, on his lips, looked more like an exotic treat. Hilda chose the pistachio one. I didn't want this day to end, but unfortunately, it was time to go back. Gonzalo would b

Nora and Erik; When we were nothing End
For you, my love Nora "So Vinci's idea was perfect, to finish him in front of you. But I'm curious, Hilda. What did you think when your trusted employee, Philips, appeared in this same cell with a knife in hand? Followed by his daughter, who, by the way, was carrying a bigger one. Rita, that's her name, in case you don't remember. She is another woman whose life you destroyed. Do you remember, Hilda? Gonzalo's terrified face? When the two of them approached him and started stabbing him everywhere? I think he was hit several times in the head, and that, Hilda, was entertaining. Do you also remember how his body, still alive, bled at your feet? and you did nothing? That must have hurt, but you deserve it. But that's enough talk for now, as I told you at the beginning, I have a very busy day. Oh! Didn't I tell you? I'm having a party, and I invited a lot of people. The guys from the rescue centre, Ruth, Vinci, and of course my family, my parents, Rosa, Erik, and my baby.” I looked at

My last talk to you Nora Upon entering the building, we immediately took the elevator. My destination is the basement. When the doors opened, another guard received us. He already had what I needed ready. First, he handed me a mask, and immediately, I put it on. The smell of this place is disgusting. I think I'll have to tell Erik to do a deep cleaning. It is not healthy for our staff to be in these conditions, even if they are used to it. “Madame, please follow me.” Luis, is always so kind. “Thank you, this will be my last visit, and I sincerely hope I never have to return.” “Yes, Mrs. Costa, this place is not for you. Your eyes should never have seen all this.” I agree, but circumstances brought me to this point in my life, where I couldn't help it. “Luis, thank you very much. You are right in saying that this is not for me, but I am obliged. I have a promise to keep, and this is the only way.” I followed Luis down the corridor to the cells. He was carrying the suitcase with the

Time to fulfil my promise Nora Ten months have passed since the attack, and my body is completely recovered. I only carry with me the scars that the knife left me. Those same scars that I will be able to remove later. I don't want anything to remind me of anything that had happened. “Where is it, mommy?” “Oh! My love, we are almost there.” My baby has grown so much. He already speaks and understands many things perfectly. “Look at that one,” I pointed my finger at the crypt that was filled with flowers. My baby let go of my hand and ran towards I pointed with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. He turned to see if I had already arrived so that together, we will place the flowers on his grave. “Tell Daddy Edward what you did this week in the classroom. Your teacher told me that you were teasing a girl

My parent's truthNoraErik shook his head, letting us know how ridiculous this conversation was. “OK, I better hurry,” Rosa said, walking towards the kitchen. The three of us stayed in the room, enjoying this moment, this peace. I would not change this for anything. But after a while, Erik looked at me carefully. I knew he wanted to tell me something, but apparently, it was going to be a difficult subject, because he was struggling with himself. “What is Erik? Tell me at once.” He nodded his head and said, “Yesterday, I talked to your dad.” No, not that. I was about to tell him that I did not want to know anything about him, when Erik hardened his gaze and, with authority in his voice, he stopped me. “No, Nora, listen to me this time. And I don't want you to speak until I finish. Later, you can tell me wh

When I opened my eyesNoraA week ago, I woke up after I almost lost my life at the hands of that monster. Fortunately, Erik arrived in time to save our lives. If the man had gone first for my baby or Rosa, Oh! I don't want to think about it any more, because it would have been devastating. That day, when I opened my eyes, Erik's face was the first thing I see. Not only did he look bad, but he also smelled bad. That was what I first said to him when I saw him. “Eric, you look like a homeless man. What has happened to you?” He widened my eyes in surprise as he gently grabbed my hand. The whole of my body ached. I didn't know how long had passed since I fell unconscious. Then he smiled at me and said, “welcome, my love, it was time for you to wake up.”Even though I can now get ou

DieNoraThe man nodded his head and smiled slightly. Then he raised his head, looking at the ceiling as if he were remembering something. And then he returned his gaze to me, saying. “Laura, you knew her very well. She was one of your husband's lovers.” What that man told me surprised me even more. But I didn't say anything and just waited for him to continue. “She was one of the most beautiful women in the country, and she had to be the one chosen to go undercover. Only someone this beautiful would be able to attract the attention of one of the most wanted criminals in the country. Of course, we couldn't just come and arrest him out of nowhere. We needed evidence, and Laura was perfect for this. She gathered all kinds of evidence for his arrest. But we failed her. All her efforts, and for what? HA! FOR NOTHING”

And who is Laura?NoraNodding my head, I turned around and opened the door carefully, closing it behind me. With what I'm going to do, I hope Rosa and my baby would have enough time to escape. With every step I took, I felt my legs shaking, because I was walking towards my death. My eyes searched for something that could help me defend myself, but I found nothing. The hallway was empty. My only hope was to go to the kitchen and grab a knife or something to knock him out. I stepped into the living room and, without making a sound, leaned out to see if I could see the man. I looked everywhere, but I couldn’t see him. That made me tremble. Where is he? The only way I could protect myself was to go into the kitchen and get a weapon. So I passed through the room and entered it. After opening the door a bit, I looked inside. The place was empty,

The intruderNora"Erik, are you there?” I knocked on his office door several times, but no one answered. Where have they gone? Nor do I see anyone from the Vinci group. Have they already left, and without telling me anything? I turned around and walked to Rosa's room. She was taking care of my baby while I was preparing his bottle of milk. I'm sure she will know if they have already left. I was very nervous. Erik told me that he would attack Gonzalo soon, but nothing else. Outside Rosa's room, I opened the door and walked in. She was playing with Edward on the bed. Just seeing my baby made my heart fill with pride. He was growing up so fast, and he was getting even more beautiful than he already was.“Rosa, I can't find Erik anywhere. Neither of Vinci's people. Do you think they have already left without a warning?” Rosa stopped playing with Edward and turned to see me. But I was surprised by the expression she was showing me. She was so serious all of a sudden that I didn't know how

Something is wrong Erik That reminded me of Nora. She can finally have her revenge together with all of us. So I grabbed the phone and dialled her number. I was nervous for some reason. I wanted to get home as soon as possible. Leaving them alone wasn’t a good idea, but there was no other choice. The good thing is that there was a security team guarding the property. The phone rang several times, but no one answered it. I tried again, thinking that she was in the kitchen and would have left it in the room. So I decided to dial my mom, she never fails to answer my calls. I called over and over again, but nothing. I started to feel more anxious. This was not good, I need someone to answer me. “Raul, contact Daniel. I need his report immediately.” “Yes, Boss.” Raul got down to business, and after a few tries, he turned to me and shook his head. At that moment, I felt a punch in my gut. It can't be, this was not right. So I said to the driver, “Go as fast as possible, I need to get hom
