All Chapters of Nora and Erik; When we were nothing: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

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

Wellcome to your new homeErik An 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

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

This is your new realityErik“Erik, how many more times do I have to say that to you? I have to go home. Do you hear me? My home. I have no idea what was going through your mind when you decided to bring me here. And how did you think that this decision would be a good idea? That is beyond my comprehension.” Three days have passed since I brought Nora here. She has been fighting against her better judgement, and it hasn't been pleasant. Her stubborn temper has worsened those years that we have been apart. She has recovered from the fatigue and malnutrition that came with the time she spends at the hospital taking care of that man. Now, her strength has come back to kick the little patience left in me. I can understand her viewpoint, and I would do worse than just yell at her if I were in her situation. Yet, I must control this issue. If I don't, something could go wrong, putting us all at risk.I turned towards her with a menacing look on my face. “ SHUT UP, NORA! I've had enough of

It's timeErik The words Nora spoke unsettled me. I tightened my jaw. I neither wanted nor could answer her questions. “Nora, everything changes, and sometimes life hits where it hurts the most. Some things cause people to react, others give them the courage to go on. In this sense, I can tell you that I am not the same person I was before. My life was never easy, and I grew up watching things that most people only see in horror movies. I was not born like that, but life formed me into what I am now. I am a ruthless killer. But when I turned back and started to see that I could only trust a few people, at that moment, I realized I was repeating the mistakes of my father.”Grabbing my cup of coffee, I took a sip. She was puzzled; she couldn't think of what to say and could see how she tried
