All Chapters of Love in ruins: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

AuroraThe doctor said that if Claudio continued to improve, they would discharge him quickly. The problem was, I was no longer able to hide the truth from him.— Because Rebeca doesn’t answer my calls – I had left to go to the bathroom and when I came back he had my cell phone, trying to call her, – Please, Aurora, stop by the house to see if she’s there.— I can’t, father – I looked right into his eyes. – Why do you make such a point of her presence?— She needs to know I’m okay,– and that was all he managed to say.— She doesn’t need to – I concluded, and he complained, softly, throwing the phone to the side. I knew this conversation would be difficult.— You’re about to start your nagging with her – she crossed her arms and looked away – is it that hard for you to try to maintain a healthy relationship with her, Aurora?— Dad, – I took a deep breath and made my voice come out the calmest and sweetest in the world – Rebeca was responsible for your hospitalization.— What is this no

AuroraI stood motionless with my cell phone in my hands for several minutes. I was crying for Luke, for the painful experiences he had been having over the last few months, and it amazed me at how our lives seemed to be a mirror image of each other. My father was in the hospital fighting for his life while his father was being murdered. I strolled back to Claudio’s room.— Did something happen? – he analyzed me. My eyes betrayed that I had been crying.— The father of a friend of mine, – I swallowed the tears – was murdered.— I’m sorry,– he said, looking away.— I’m going to need to travel, dad – I communicated immediately – and while I’m away, I’m going to ask Lourdes to take care of you.— Travel with what resource? – It was obvious that he would ask me that.— My friend will send the tickets for me,– I replied.— That friend of yours likes you a lot, then.I kept quiet, at least on that subject.— Do you have a problem with me being away for a day?— I can manage on my own, – he

AuroraThat would be my first plane ride. I didn’t know what to do, where to go, what to talk to, but as we live in the age of technology, all the information I needed was at my fingertips. I watched some tutorials and went to the Airport. Of course, in the videos I watched, everything looked easy. I almost missed the flight because I got completely lost inside the airport.Already inside the plane, my hands were sweating. Everything was new to me, an unknown world, and if I didn’t have guidance, I wouldn’t make it. During the entire trip, I thought about Rebeca’s accusations against me. I would have every reason in the world to try to kill my father, but those reasons were insufficient compared to the woman I was. Claudio crossed the line. He was never been a good father. On the contrary, he always tried to make my life difficult, even so I would take care of him until the last day of his death. It wasn’t for merit, but for being who I am.As soon as the plane landed, I knew Gomez wo

LukeI’ve been with many women in my life, but none of them caused the sensation that Aurora had. Staying with someone you love is, without a doubt, having the best night of your life. I looked at her, who was sleeping, her head resting on my chest, and smiled. I got up without making a sound, as I didn’t want to wake her. I got dressed and went downstairs to the mansion.The lawyer was already there, and Helena shot me a startled look.— Glad you’re here, Luke,– she told me as I walked past her and greeted the man.— You’re so early here. – I shook his hand and inevitably with a worried expression on my face.— I have urgent matters to discuss with you,– he said, sitting down on the sofa and placing his briefcase on the coffee table in the living room.He opened it and took out reports, several of them.— Beta gonsales can go bankrupt – it was direct – Gonzalo left the company with debts and the lawyer for Caliento companies filed a lawsuit to collect a millionaire debt against your

LukeThe day in Rio de Janeiro was hot, and I even thought about going to the beach. I wore a baseball cap and sunglasses to disguise myself at the airport. After Gonzalo’s death, my face was all over the country’s newspapers. I didn’t want to be recognized and even believed that my disguise was perfect until I heard someone call my name.I turned around, because the voice sounded familiar. That brunette with the most beautiful smile I’ve ever seen, with her curly hair loose, looked at me tenderly. Geane had teary eyes. He came running towards me and hugged me.I was confused, and I can’t say I was happy to see Geane here. But I, better than anyone, recognized his motives.— What are you doing here? I pulled away and looked her straight in the eyes. I didn’t want to spoil that moment for Geane, but things between the two of us needed to be clarified.— I came to see you, – he replied enthusiastically.The exaggerated scene of Geane hugging me and saying my name, loud and clear, arouse
