Nora looked around as the car entered the biggest gate she has ever seen, the entrance of the gate alone had lots of men who she assumed all worked for Luca, they all had guns with them which brought her to the conclusion that the man sitting next to her and on his phone was a mafia lord and going by all the things she has read about mafias, he had no heart or mercy, no wonder he treated her the way he did, he was a criminal whose everyday life involves hurting people. She still didn’t know what she did to be his target, or what the person that he is mistaking her for did that made him come after her.

She had a lot of questions and many things to say to him which would only get her in trouble, the last thing she wanted right now was to get in more trouble with the man, whatever happens, she just has to pray that he would let her go as he promised.

“We are here, Cara, let’s get you out of the car,”

He let out as he kept his phone in his pocket and looked her way. Nora was once again

    When her parents had passed within one month of each other, she had been broken when her mom died and they were still planning her burial when her father had passed too. Rose had closed her shop for the whole time between when her mom died and her dad did too and spent the whole time with her being her support system. When her extended family had accused her of doing something that caused their death just so she could inherit what they owned, it was Rose and her parents that stood by her and Rose’s father who was a lawyer was the reason she got everything that her parent left to her. She owned the family so much that she couldn’t repay and she hated the fact that she made Rose worried about her. “Nora, go to sleep,” She told herself but it was easier said than done. She knew she had to fall asleep for the new day to come early but sleep refused to find her. She gave up trying to force herself to sleep and just laid their eyes wide up for the next couple of hours, she didn’t know whe

    “No, not ma’am, call me Maria, okay?”the woman stated and Nora nodded. Looking at her again, Maria looked nothing like an Italian woman, she most certainly was a foreign but Nora didn’t want to be nosy and ask her where she was from. “You have not answered my question, Nora, would you like to eat first or would you rather take a bath first?”She asked again. “Anyone would work by me, I just want to get out of this bed but I can seem to be able to lift myself up even though I could do it at the hospital,”She complained. “It is understandable, your injuries are still fresh and according to Luca, you were passed out for days, your body is still trying to adapt to the new normal,”She said and Nora gave her a look, she didn’t like how she made it seem like this is how her life would be from now on, she hated the thought of it. “I don’t like what you just said, no way I want this to be my new normal,”Nora let out while pointing to herself. The older woman’s smile dropped for a momen

    “I am back and I found some clothes Emily hasn’t worn just yet, we are good,”Maria commented as she walked back into the room. Nora had lots of questions burning in her head but she didn’t ask them. Instead, she remained silent as Maria helped her out of the bed and onto the wheelchair. It took a lot of effort and pain before she finally settled on the wheelchair but she didn’t let the older woman see her pain as she didn’t want her to feel guilty about hurting her. “Now, please wash up and I will go get your breakfast while you are at it, I hope you like omelet as that’s what if for breakfast,”Maria said. “Anything is fine, I just need to eat so that I can take my medications,”Nora responded. “Good then,”The older woman said and left her on her own. Nora cleaned up herself carefully, making sure that water did not touch both of her legs, it didn’t take long for her to be done as the nurses at the hospital already taught her how to do it. When she finished, she wheeled herself

    “Do you want anything else?”Maria asked after giving her the afternoon meds. “Not really, I just want to sit like this for a few minutes,”She responded to which Maria nodded, she expected her to leave but she took her sit and they both sat there in silence for about twenty minutes before Nora told her to help her back on the bed. “Remember you can call me if you need anything,”Maria said before she left the room for the second time that day. Nora spent the rest of the afternoon after Maria gave her lunch on her own, she felt choked up in the room she was in but she didn’t want to disturb Maria or cause her unnecessary stress, it was bad that the older woman has to look after her so she didn’t want to add to her job. She spent the afternoon going over possible escape plans but nothing she thought about sounded reasonable, it would be impossible to get to the gate, she saw how far the distance from the entrance to the main house had been when they had gotten in last night, not to m

    “I am sorry for how I acted but you have to know I just woke up, my body was stiff and I couldn’t even think straight, on a norm, I am not a morning person and I am usually moody when I wake up, it was worse this morning because I felt trapped on the bed, can you not let me off this once? I really need to speak with Roseline, please,”Nora pleaded. She knew she was lying. she was one of those people who woke up every day in a bright mood but Luca didn’t have to know that, she just wanted him to call Roseline for her. “Why are you so eager to speak to your friend? Let me warn you that she can’t help you out of here even if she gets on the plane and comes all the way down here, she would only be wasting her time coming over here, first of all, she cannot find out your location unless I allow it,”Luca told her as if she didn’t already know that it would be impossible for any help to come to her, the men at the entrance were enough proof that she can’t get out unless he lets her or they

    He promised in a firm voice. Okay, she wanted to believe him so bad but it was hard to. “You are still going to let me speak to Rose?”She asked. She thought after the way she spoke to him; he would not let her speak to Rose again. “Yes, you just tell her anything that would keep her mind at peace and also tell her you will keep in touch, as long as you eat well and take your medications without causing any trouble, I will keep letting you talk to her,”He further promised. It was too good to be true, she had her doubts that he would keep to his words but she kept it to herself as he handed her the phone and she took it immediately, she unlocked it and looked at him. “Can I check the texts just to get context f what you both talked about?”She asked for his permission and he nodded. She checked her text and only Rose sent her numerous texts, not a single text or missed calls from Elio or her office, neither did she get a call or text from the research center she was supposed to be

    Luca walked out of the room and instead of just going to his room, he decided to go speak with Maria concerning what she had called him for earlier, he would have gone shopping for her by himself but he couldn't. He walked out of the main house towards Maria’s side of the house. When he had built this mansion all those years ago, he had made sure to build a separate one for his staff so that they would feel at ease, since he sent the other women in the mansion away after what happened with Emily, only Maria lives in the female quarters, he had told her a couple of times that she can move into the main house if she feels alone there but the stubborn old woman refused so he just let her have her way. “Maria,”He called when he got to the entrance. Even though he owned the house, his mother taught him to always be respectful and not barge in on anyone, he rang the bell and waited, and the door flew open a few minutes later to reveal Maria who was already in her nightwear. “Oh, Luca, wh

    “I wish all mistakes could be fixed. Let me go so that you can get some rest, I brought my card just so you can easily get whatever you think she needs tomorrow,”Luca said as he stood up, brought out his black card, and handed it over to her, he trusted her enough to know that she would do only what was required. “Good night, Luca,”She let out. He saw himself out and walked back to the main house, up into his room, and to the mini-bar in his room where he kept the alcohol that helped him go to sleep every night. He had medications to help him fall asleep but he got so used to them that they no longer walked. The first few months after he woke up from his coma after he finally buried his family, he couldn’t sleep at all. The doctor had to prescribe sleeping pills for him and for a while, they worked but stopped working sooner than he expected and even after increasing the dosage a couple of times, he just couldn’t fall asleep without the nightmares so he had resulted to drinking bef

    “I am three months pregnant, we are going to be parents too, I told him last night and Luca is so excited about being a dad again,”Nora told Rose. It was Rose’s turn to tear up. “Oh, baby, I am so proud of you, congratulations my love,”Roseline said, hugging her again. “Thank you, Roseline, it feels so good to have you here with me at a time like this, it makes it even more special,”Nora told her. “You know that I won’t give up an opportunity to see a place like this, this house is a literal castle and Luca said I could take a tour around and he even agreed to be my tour guide, payment for stealing you away from me, he also agreed to one more thing but I am not telling,”Roseline cheered; “Both of you are crazy but I love you guys, let’s go up to the room that you will be using,”Nora said and they both walked upstairs to the room she had prepared for Roseline, they spent the whole day chic-chatting, and even when Luca came back, she didn’t leave Roseline.

    Nora woke up in a happy mood. Last night was one of the best nights of her life. Not only was she going to be a mom, but she was also going to marry the man of her dreams. She reached out for him but the space next to her was empty, she opened her eyes and the bed was empty, she checked the time. “Fucking hell,”she yelped and got out of bed. She had to go pick Rose up from the airport in less than an hour. “You are finally up,”Luca voiced, he was all dressed while she still had morning. “Luca? Why didn’t you wake me up? Rose will be in soon, I am going to be late,”She let out as she rushed out of bed, she couldn’t believe she overslept. “Relax, don’t be in such a hurry,”He said; she gave him a dirty look, it was all his fault that she slept in. “You had one job, wake me up, and you didn’t do it, don’t tell me to relax, you don’t know Rose, she will be super upset if I don’t show up,”Nora let out. “She is already here, I am just coming back from the airport, I went to pick h

    “Oh my God, he has a ring,”She whispered and tried to get up from her seat. “Stay,”He said in a shaking voice that he had never spoken in before. “Is this why you have been so nervous?”She asked and he nodded, he was still nervous, if she said no, his world would crash. He suddenly didn’t know what to say. “Aren’t you going to say anything?”Nora asked after a couple of minutes. “Don’t tell me you didn’t rehearse what you were supposed to say,”She continued, he did think about what he wanted to say to her but right now, he couldn’t remember anything. “I don’t know what to say, I just know that I love and want you with me, I am not good with these kinds of things, I didn’t know what it was like to feel like this until I met you, I can’t get the words out that would properly describe how I feel for you, how desperate I want you to be mine forever,”He told her. “You are doing just fine right now, you don’t need big fancy words,”She encouraged him. Her words helped to reduce h

    Luca watched his woman sleep, she looked so beautiful and peaceful sleeping beside him. He didn’t know what he did to deserve her but he couldn’t thank the universe enough for sending her to him. Now he couldn’t imagine a life without her. two months, the past two months hadn’t been easy for him but with her by his side, he could do anything, waking up each day to her made everything bearable, he had to relearn how to do everything but it wasn’t so hard for him when each time he looked around, she was there cheering him on. He didn’t know how best to pay her back. She came into his life and never looked back, not even when he told her to leave, she vowed to be with him, believed in him even when he had doubts; her words of encouragement, the way she was there each time he was so close to giving up, telling him just how much she loved him. He could say her love healed him. She never asked anything in return but he vowed to take care of her for the rest of their life. He already had pl

    “You bet I will, thank you so much, I will come around soon for registration,”She told her and walked out of the office, it was almost one pm; Luca would probably be looking for her already, Nora didn’t know how he was going to take the news of the pregnancy since they hadn’t talked about having a baby. Maria did say it would be good news so she hoped Luca saw it that way too because even though she just found out, she already loved the baby. “Amore, what took you so long? I was waiting for you,”Luca let out when she walked into his room, he got out of bed and walked to her, wrapping her in a welcoming hug. He could walk now, he was still healing. “The second hug I am getting today, today must be my day of hugs,”Nora mouthed, Luca broke the hug and gave her a look. “Who else are you getting hugs from?”He asked in a jealous tone, Nora laughed. “Don’t look so jealous, I got a hug from Maria,”She replied and went into his arms again. “Maria gets a pass, no one else is allowed t

    “Yes, I am sorry for what I said the other day, I regretted it the minutes the words came out, I was only trying to get you to leave, I feel stupid for doing that, I love you so much, please say you have forgiven me,”He said. she smiled; she already forgave him but she needed him to know that what he said was wrong on all accounts. “Apology accepted, don’t do it again, no one wants to be called a gold-digger by the one they love, that shit hurt like hell, I can’t lie to you and say it didn’t, I am glad you talked about it and apologized,”Nora said and planted another kiss on his hair. “Thank you for coming back, Amore, it won’t happen again, I promise,”He replied. “So, you are feeling good now?”She asked him, lifting his face so that she could see him properly, he nodded. She hugged him and they stayed like that for a couple of minutes before she helped him get back to his room. The days turned into weeks and then months, and every day, Luca got better, it was a lot of work an

    Nora didn’t know what to expect when she walked into Luca’s hospital room after three days away, she set her mind to him asking her to leave again, telling herself that she would turn back and leave without a backward glance if he said anything like that but knowing she would not be able to do it. The last three days were spent doing nothing, she ate, tried to sleep, and talked with Maria who came to visit Luca yesterday. She did tell her that Luca looked down and even asked about her but that doesn’t mean he still wants to see her. She went to his hospital room but he wasn’t there. She saw a nurse who told her he was getting fresh air and pointed her to where she would find him, she saw him before he saw her. There were a few other people in the healing garden but Luca was all alone, he looked up and saw her, his face lit up for a moment before his expression went unreadable again. She saw the few seconds of delight and hoped it was a good sign. “Hey, Luca, how have you been?”Nora

    “I haven’t been to the mansion since and I haven’t seen her, I thought she was here with you, did she leave? Should I call her here for you?”He asked. If she was still at the mansion, calling her to come to the hospital when it was already late wasn’t a good idea. “No, you don’t have to do that,”Luca responded. “Boss? Did you make her angry? Did you both fight?”Nicho asked in a scolding voice. Luca thought about just letting it go and not telling him what happened, he didn’t have to tell him but Nicho was the only other person he could ask about her, and Maria wouldn’t answer him. “Why are you scolding me? I already know I made a mistake. I don’t need you rubbing it in, I kind of told her to leave and she did, I haven’t seen her for three days now and I am starting to think she really decided to leave me, not like I blame her, I said some really hurtful things to her, told her she was around for my money, don’t look at me like that, I regret it,”Luca said when Nicho gave him an

    Luca looked up when the door to his hospital room for the ninth time that day but once again, it wasn’t the one he wanted at the door, Nora, he hadn’t seen her since he told her to leave two days ago, and for the past two days, he had waited for her to show up, he felt like an helpless child waiting for his mom, the problem was he was the one who sent her away, it was his fault and now, he feared she might have taken his advice and actually left him for good. “Why did I even say something like that to her?”He scolded himself; he should have called her back and apologized to her but he had stupidly let her leave. Maybe he thought like before that she would be back. When she didn’t come back that first day, he had thought she would the next morning but up until this moment, he still had not heard from her and another day was almost over. Luca looked up when the door opened, hoping it would be Nora this time but it wasn’t her, it was Maria, the older woman smiled when she walked in, i
