Nora
After closing the bathroom door, I walked straight ahead. When I had just passed him, he grabbed my arm and pushed me against the wall. Putting his face in front of mine, he drew me into a corner with his arms. He pressed his forehead to mine, and I could hear that his breathing was heavy. And between teeth, he said to me, “I’m sick of you and your tantrums. You’re going to act as my wife for the rest of the afternoon and when we get home. You will go straight to the basement.” Those words fell on me like ice water. I expected it, my fear always came true with this man. If he was going to lock me up anyway, then I wouldn’t have to play anymore.
So I pushed him away with all my might, far from me. “Don’t you dare to touch me again with your disgusting hands. Your hands are filthy and smell like a prostitute’s vagina.” Without waiting for his reply, I headed for the exit, not before grabbing my handbag that was on a hanger by the entry. Opened the door, I went out. I ran to the street, and once I was on the avenue, I stopped a taxi. I told the driver where to go, and he drove off. Not only that, but I didn’t bother to turn to see if someone was behind me. Of course, I did not go to Erik’s house, but rather instructed the driver to take me to the mall away from this area. From what I knew, these would be the last hours that I would enjoy my freedom for I don’t know how long, before being thrown in the basement for a while.
I tried to forget what happened and enjoy my time without him, so I went shopping. From store to store, I bought what I wanted. Then I went to the cinema and bought a ticket. I got a giant bucket of popcorn and a few sweets. I haven’t enjoyed something like that for a long time. When the film ended, it was already late. I called a taxi and gave him the address. It took us an hour to get to his house. Meanwhile, all the way, I tried to convince myself that I was strong. And whatever Erik does to me would be nothing he hadn’t done before. But the truth is that I was trembling with fear. That man is very violent. And when it comes to me, more. I do not understand at what time he started this development of such unhealthy jealousy. He’s the one who betrays our marriage, not me. But maybe it’s his way of diverting attention from him and putting it on me.
Sadly, the trip came to an end. Upon arriving at the entrance gate, the taxi stopped. It was fine for him to leave me here, I told the driver. When I got out of the taxi, the driver helped me unload my purchases and lay them on the floor. Then, I opened my handbag and paid him. Taking a deep breath, I grabbed my bags and headed to the slaughterhouse. Arriving at the door, I put my purchases on the floor to get the keys out of my handbag. But before I could reach in. The door was thrown open. My eyes widened in surprise, and I jumped back in shock. But Erik grabbed my hair, pulling me inside.

A Visit to the Basement Nora Once inside, he slammed the door and threw me to the floor. I fell hard on my side, hitting my hip bone. But I didn’t have any more time to dwell on the pain, because in seconds he was on top of me. He grabs onto my hair again, pulling my head back painfully. “WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? HA! WHERE WERE YOU, NORA? Saying this, with my hair in his hand, he shook my head from one side to the other. It hurt so much that my tears started to come out. Until he stopped. He let me go suddenly and got up. Then I felt a kick in my back, and then another in my legs. After several more, I got into the fetal position, to avoid being hurt, but it didn’t work. The blows kept raining. Then, he stopped. His heavy breathing and my sobs and groans of pain were all that was heard. He was looking at me from above but did nothing else. Until he squatted down and brushed the hair off my face. He stood still for a moment, and after that, I could hear his teeth

The fall Nora The door to the small bathroom was open, and as I walked in, it smelled a bit bad. Looks like they haven’t cleaned here since my last visit. How degrading. I sat on the toilet and peed. But I felt a lot of pain and burning when doing it. This was new, he had never hit me like this. After cleaning myself, I stopped to pull up my underwear, because I noticed that the water was a little red. What could I do? Nothing. Forgetting about that for the moment, I went to the sink to wash my hands. And what received me when I saw myself in the mirror horrified me. I closed my eyes immediately, I couldn’t see the image before me. My eye was completely closed, my nose was swollen and full of blood. My lips are cracked and bloody. I had a gigantic bruise on the other side of my face. Now I know why my head hurts so much. My spirit plummeted at that moment, I lowered my head and went back to bed. I didn’t turn off the light, I just leaned back facing the wall

My parent's visit Nora “I did not fall, let me be clear to you. I know he’s paying you, I can smell it. But I want to make it clear that I DID NOT FALL. DON’T ever insult my intelligence. Did you understand? He beat me and then locked me in a basement for days. With nothing, no medicine, only water, nothing! And you tell me that he brought me immediately after I fell? And above all, was he worried? I don’t want to see you here, I want another doctor. Did you hear me? After exposing the injustice I suffered, I closed my eyes and sobbed silently. They were all bought. I know it’s useless to say something, no one would do anything to help anyway. He had a lot of power and influence and I had nothing. “Calm down, Nora, don’t get upset. We are going to leave, and you will not see us again, but calm down, you are still not well, please.” I didn’t bother answering them, I just stayed in bed with my eyes closed. I heard when they closed the door after leaving. Fortun

The doctor Nora So, what I wanted to know was how long would the doctor keep me here. Then, I asked the nurse, “Can you tell me how long you plan to leave me here?” The nurse grabbed the datasheet that was beside my bed and answered. “Of course, Nora, your doctor wants you to stay here for one more week. Due to the damage you suffered, he considered that possibility. The best course of action is to keep a close eye on you.” Okay, I’ll consider it my holiday for one week. I thanked her and said I was hungry and wanted to eat something. She said that the menu would be brought to me in a moment. So I preyed on that time to try to stand up. Although I’m not sure what condition my body is in, I’m eager to stretch. Tentatively, I sat up, luckily it didn’t hurt that much. I could see with satisfaction that I was already improving. I put my feet down and tried to stand up. Then, I held onto the bed rail and managed to put my feet on the floor. Furthermore, I don’t kn

The visit Nora The nurse hesitated but left the room without saying anything. The Dr returned his eyes to me and saw my eyes. “You have been here, since you arrived, almost seven days. I read your report and the injuries do not coincide with a fall, as was established in the beginning. This is rather a case of domestic abuse, I can tell. ” My face said it all because he stopped and patted my hand. Then he continued. “I know my colleagues filled out the report, thanks to your husband’s insistence. But we know that is not so. I want to ask you something.” Staring into my eyes, he continued. “Do you want me to report this incident as domestic violence? You can trust me, I won’t do anything you don’t want.” Oh! My eyes started to fill with tears. It was so long ago that I had received someone’s support. And with a choppy voice, I replied, “Thank you, but I don’t want to put your life at risk. And even if you fill out the report and take it to the police, no one w

Back to him again Nora After assimilating what he told me, I put it on with disgust. His coat smelled like him, I didn’t want his scent on my skin. But I remembered the doctor’s words. And convinced myself that later I would have time and health to fight him. Erik continued to watch me from where I was. I could feel his gaze. But fortunately, the nurse entered with the wheelchair, cutting off the tension. She pulled it closer to me and was about to help me up when Erik told her that he would do it. Why? It’s the only thing I could think of. I didn’t want his hands near me. Those same hands caused me so much damage and pain. When he came over to help me up, I stepped forward and immediately sat in the wheelchair. I went to the nurse and told her. “I’m ready.” She saw us nervous, not knowing what to do. But Erik, without taking her into account. Took the handles of the wheelchair and pushed me towards the door. We left the hospital in complete silence until we

Finishing my sentence Nora After I refused to kiss him, he rested his forehead against my forehead and squeezed the back of my neck. After a few seconds, he sat up and said no more. Within five minutes, we had arrived. As soon as Thomas parked the car in the driveway, he got out to open the door for us. After Erik got out and grabbed my hand, I had no choice but to follow him and let him help me. The door of the house opened, and Rosa came out to greet us. When she saw me, she grabbed my hand and said, “Oh! I’m glad you’re feeling better now, Nora. Erik was so worried about you.” Her gaze hardened and she continued. “I want to give you some advice - don’t let this happen again. You have to change your attitude. A marriage cannot go on like this. And it is your responsibility to bring peace and happiness into this house.” “Now it’s not the time for that, Mother.” Rosa smiled at her son and changed her expression completely. “Erik, you are right, it isn’t my jo

Claudia Nora “I don’t have to tell you that my business partners are very dangerous people. And that anything that comes out of your mouth can put you at risk. So you are warned, go, you have half an hour to be ready.” In complete silence, I continued on my way, until I left that place. I felt, at that moment, that I could breathe again. I was going upstairs and came face to face with my husband’s mistress. She was leaving the room that she and my husband share. I felt like the veins in my eyes jumped. The hatred I felt towards this pair was poisoning my heart more than it already was. But I had to swallow it and feign indifference. She jumps with fright when she sees me. I was sure she wasn’t expecting me around. The unpleasant woman was dressed in almost nothing. Seeing her body and imagining them together made my stomach turn. But when I saw her standing there, my mind began to work. The only thing I could lose now was my life. So I smiled at her tenderly,

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.

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
