Nora
Which flavour will I choose now? I'm thinking a vanilla latte would be nice. The coffee from the machine in this hospital has already made me sick, but there is nothing I can do. There are a few coffee shops nearby, but I can't leave Edward alone. So machine coffee it will be.
I picked a flavour and waited for the machine to complete the process. I took a deep breath and leaned against the wall. We are so excited that soon we will be able to go home. I already miss my bed and having breakfast with Edward. Despite everything, I cannot waver. And luckily for me, I have friends who support me, and they have been with us day and night. I call that solidarity.
It is the team's visiting day today. I am preparing to receive them. The good thing is that Hilda is already with me. She i

We will smile againNoraNow I had a purpose, and this is how I was able to open my eyes. The room was bright, and I knew immediately that I was in the hospital. I stared at the ceiling for a few minutes, then turned my gaze to the side where I heard noises. Patty and Hilda were quietly sitting next to my bed. They hadn't realised that I had already woken up. Until I moved my hand, getting their attention. Patty was the first to see me, and she got up quickly. She took me by the hand and, with a bleak expression and almost whispering, she said. “How do you feel?” I nodded my head, letting her know that I was fine.Afterwards, Hilda came to my side and put her hand on my shoulder. I was sure that she wanted to transmit her strength to me, but nothing right now could warm my heart. I wa

The funeralNoraThat day, I cried and cried, until my body was weak and without strength. The next day, Ruth fed me and kept me company the whole time. She did not leave me alone for a moment. Always aware of me, since my emotions were damaged, because at any moment I could do something crazy. But she was always with me, and I love her more for that. Thanks to Ruth, I was able to get out of bed and have a bath. The day ended the same way, the pain kept suffocating me, but something in me was changing.The more I saw Ruth next to me and felt my baby moving inside me, I knew that my heart was changing direction. My thoughts weren't about following Edward any more, no. Ruth illuminated my darkness. She made me realise that this little boy was the last thing left of Edward and that I had to take car

He is deathErikI was in my office with the lights off. My head was leaning back, and I had my eyes closed. I have to think about what to do. Since Vinci's visit yesterday, my mind has blown into a thousand pieces. All that information was circulating in my mind, incessantly. I was sick of it. The surrounding people were giving themselves the luxury of stabbing daggers in my back. But what were they thinking? That I would never find out? Poor morons. They don't know what they've done. The good thing is that those traitors still think that I know nothing. Now, I see everything clear, the path that they chose for me is in front of me. They design my destiny thinking that I would take it, leading me to the ravine according to them. Their well-conceived plan made me fall into the trap. I fell painfully, but it's not o late to fix this. Information is power, as I once said. The advantage is mine now. And when I attack, they won't know what I hit them with. The pile of papers that Thomas

You have no choiceErikThree days later, I was inside my car watching Nora from a distance. I had not seen her in person for a long time. Even though she is pregnant, her face looks thin and emaciated. That bothers me a lot, she shouldn't be hurting for anyone. She should be suffering only for me. Yet, I will remedy that soon. She has her gaze fixed on the coffin, and she hasn't taken her eyes off him since he arrived. She looks calm, but I know her posture very well. Nora is about to collapse. It has been a long and tiring three days of mourning, and today is no less stressful. Physically, she must be very weak, and mentally, I imagine she must be devastated. But all this is working in my favour. Things are happening for a reason, and I can only take advantage of the circumstances.I wonder if

Wellcome to your new homeErikAn hour down the road, Nora spoke to me. “Erik, I need to go to the toilet. Could we stop for a few seconds? I really can't hold it any more.” I immediately stopped what I was doing, and put my computer on the side. Leaning back in the seat, I crossed my arms, watching Nora intensely. I was trying to figure out if she really had to use the toilet, or was only a trick. But I couldn't risk it either way. So I said, “sorry Nora, we can't stop for any reason. If you can't hold it,” I looked around me, and that's when I saw a disposable cup of coffee that I was drinking while waiting for the burial ceremony to end. I bent down to pick it up and gave it to her. She grabbed it and looked at it like she didn't know what to do with it. “If you can't hold on, do it here.” I pointed to the cu

What's happening here?Nora“Sit down, Nora,” Erik gestured for me to sit on one of the armchairs in the living room. Then, without saying anything, I did what he told me to do. He exited the room through a door, disappearing from my sight, leaving me alone with Tomas. As a good soldier, he remained standing near the door. A glance out of the corner of my eye showed me that he had not changed over the years. I was intimidated by his powerful and tall body. However, I know he would never hurt me. Despite his tough exterior, he has always looked out for my well-being, even if it's just his job. He saw me watching him and gave me an encouraging smile. Then he returned his gaze to the front as if I was not here. Without more to do, I took the opportunity to see the place. This house was lovely. The decor was completely rustic. There were rugs with pre-Hispanic designs hanging on the walls. The floor was made of poli

Then Erik raised my head so that it would be easier for me. I took a sip, and the water tasted amazing, completely cooling my dry throat. He slowly put my head back on the couch and looked at me with concern. He then turned to look at the nurse, “What happened to Nora?” Lucy looked at me again and patted my arm tenderly. Afterwards, she returned her full attention to Erik. “Mr Costa, Nora needs fluids. Apparently, I can tell that she is dehydrated, she needs an infusion of vitamins and minerals. But to get a clearer picture of her health, I need to run an examination. Could you please ask one of your men to bring me my briefcase, which is in my room? It will be done right away.”I watched Erik indicate to Tomas with his head to do what the nurse needed. On the other hand, I caught a glimpse of Rosa out of the corner of my eye; she held my hand a bit tight for my liking

From now on, you don't need to worry about anything,NoraAs I did not know where to place my eyes, I bowed my head. I would feel things that I absolutely did not want to experience, whether they were good or bad, with this man. Then I saw through the corner of my eye that Erik had taken the clothes he had laid on the bed. As soon as he had the clothes in his hands, he told me, “Nora, raise your arms for me.” I raised my head and saw him holding the nightgown in his hands. He was going to dress me in it. I raised my arms, and he slid the fabric, covering my entire body. Once he had finished dressing me, he helped me raise my legs so that I could finally lie down. He covered me with a blanket and went to the door. He opened it and let in the nurse, who was already waiting for us. She smiled at me as she approached me. Then she bent down

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”
Nora and Erik; When we were nothing Chapter 87
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
