“I am so proud of you, Rose,”

Nora told her once she was done explaining, it was past five minutes already, She spared Luca a glance, he wasn’t looking at her. Hopefully, he would let her continue the call even though the time he gave was finished.

“Thank you, Nora, I am so happy, this is the best job I have ever had,”

Roseline went on excitedly. They were able to continue talking for another ten minutes before Nora told her she had to go after promising to call her again. She didn’t specify a day because she wasn’t so sure when Luca would let her call her again. After the call ended, she stretched out her hand and he stood up and took the phone. She hoped he wouldn’t speak about the things Roseline had said at the beginning of the call and thankfully, he didn’t.

“Would you let me call her again?”

She asked in a calm tone.

“That depends on you,”

“How so?”

She let out. She didn’t know why his answer made her mad but it did, the peace she felt from speaking to Rose flew away.

    “What? How?”Nora asked. “You got into the car, if you had not waved at my men and gotten into the car, you would probably be working at your research lab right now and would never have ended up like this,”Even though Nora knew there was some truth in what he was saying, she couldn’t get past the fact that he was trying to shift the blame to her, Yes, she had been stupid enough to get into a car with someone she didn’t know without verifying but that didn’t excuse what he did to her, his men could have ignored her or better yet, tell her not to get in the car but they had thought she was their prey and kidnapped her.“I can’t believe you are trying to pass the blame on me, need I remind you that this is my first time in your country and that I was expecting someone I haven’t met before to come pick me up, how was I supposed to know that I was getting in the wrong car when your people acted like they have been waiting for me and even led me to the car?”Nora let out. “You are gettin

    Nora gave up trying to put what happened out of her mind and tried to eat as much as she could, she suddenly didn’t have much appetite to eat as much as she used to because each time she took a bite, she was reminded of how close Luca had been to kissing her and how she had almost let him do that. “You can’t even tell who the fuck your enemy is no more?”She berated herself. “Are you talking to me?”Maria, who came in a minute ago, asked. “No, I am talking to myself, Don’t mind me,”Nora replied and dropped her spoon, she didn’t want to force it anymore, maybe later, she would have the appetite to eat. “Wow, you are done? The first time you are not finishing your food,”Maria commented. “Right, I am not feeling myself right now,”She responded. “Did something happen?”“No, I just, I miss my normal life, I don’t like it here, I didn’t come to Italy to be stuck in a wheelchair, I should be in the Laboratory at the research center right now, working, this journey was supposed to he

    “Dramatic much,”She let out. at least, she would be able to speak to Rose, that was all that mattered to her, he could go away for weeks. She would even prefer if he didn’t show up at all, that way, she would not have to caution herself around him. Nora was left on her own in the room for about four hours she managed to get an hour of sleep and that was it, the remaining time, she just laid there doing nothing, she got tired and remembered she had wanted Maria to take her out to the flower field that she has been seeing through the balcony, she was sure it would help ease her mind. She pressed the button a couple of times and stayed put, waiting for Maria to show up, the door opened a few minutes later. “Do you need anything? I thought you would still be sleeping,”Maria said as she walked into the room. “I have been awake, I couldn’t sleep for long,”She replied. “Right, what do you need?” “Can you help me out to the flower field? I think it will help with my current mood, I hav

    After dinner, Nora waited for Maria to bring her phone for her so that she could speak to Roseline. Unlike Luca who took forever, Maria didn’t make her wait long. “Thanks, Maria,”Nora said when she got her phone. “No problem, just so you know, the doctor will be in tomorrow to examine you, Luca wanted you to see the doctor at the hospital but since he got busy and can’t take you there himself, he told the doctor to come the house,”Maria informed. Nora already expected the doctor’s visit, Her cast needed to be checked and the medications given to her were running out. “Thanks, Maria, I will keep that in mind, when will the doctor arrive tomorrow?”Nora asked. She wanted to know how early she should wake up. “Maybe, by ten am,”Maria informed. “Sure, thank you,”Nora said and turned on her phone, she was excited to speak with Rose again even though they talked this morning. She knew Luca would never have let her call Roseline twice, but thankfully, he wasn’t here “Nora, please l

    “Yes, every year, I take a vacation for one month and even though I thought I might have to postpone this year, I spoke to the boss and he said I can still go, don’t worry, you won’t be alone, he would be back today,”She announced. Nora breathed a sigh of relief, at least, she wasn’t leaving because she made her leave but she was taking a vacation.“Wow, you get vacations?”Nora asked. She didn’t know much about being a housekeeper but she was sure she never heard of housekeepers getting vacations, holidays for a couple of days, yes, but a whole month? Never, maybe it was a thing here in Italy. “Yes, and a lot of benefits too, Why do you think I take my job so seriously? It is because I get paid good money and also get lots of benefits, including a full retirement plan benefit,”Maria revealed. Everything she was saying came as a shock to her, especially since her boss was Luca of all people, that man looked and acted nothing like a good man, or maybe she was wrong, Maria had told h

    At about nine p.m., the front door opened and Nora looked up as Luca walked into the house. “Good to see you Cara, I know you missed me,”Luca announced as he walked closer to her. She hated how her heartbeat increased and how she couldn’t take her eyes off him, How come he was so good-looking and attractive and the bigger question was why was she attracted to him? It was like falling for the devil, except she wasn’t falling for him, she just found him attractive and it was a problem when she thinks about what he did to her and how he is still keeping her hostage in his house even after she told him to let her go. “You did miss me, Don’t worry, I am back now and you will have me to yourself,”he continued. The man was crazy and delusional in the way he spoke. Did he really think she would be happy to have him around her? “Don’t come any closer,”She warned when he got too close for comfort, the crazy man did not listen to her as he walked even closer, she glared at him, bad idea as

    Luca woke up the next morning, he honestly wanted to spend the whole day in bed after the rough week he had. Last week had been one of the hardest weeks of his life, he had to plan and conduct four different funerals, of course, he would have just delegated the duties to his men but he had a rule that no matter how small the person that passes is among his people, he made sure to take care of everything related to the funeral, it was his way of paying respect to the dead and also sending off a loyal teammate, his men were his team and he made sure to come out for them; if he could, he would have made sure none of them dies but that was beyond him, especially with the kind of life they chose. He didn’t hate his ways, he just hated that his people gets taken away. The men who were killed were loyal to him and had been working religiously with him for more than seven years; it broke him to bury them and still have no info about who targeted them. He couldn’t rub off the thought that the

    “She loves me, plus I am a generous boss, the more she works, the more money she gets to live as she wants,”“She obviously loves you and is blinded by that love because why does she think you are a good person when you obviously are not?”The bad mouth was back again. “Let’s get you out of bed and into the restroom, you can wash up on your own right? Or do I have to do it for you?”He changed the topic. She glared at him as he tried to help her out of her dress. “I already took my bath, I knew you would be in for that, you really think I would wait for a man to help me take a bath?”He should have expected that. “That’s good to know, even though I would like to know how you were able to do it on your own,”He asked. “It’s been over a week, Luca, and throughout when you were away, I managed to learn how to at least bath myself,”She let out as if she was talking to a toddler. “I get it now, so do you want breakfast here or should I help you to the dining room?”“There is a dining

    “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
