This can't beNora Then I threw myself to the floor, holding my head. “NO, NO, NO, NO, OOOOO!” I cried out. It was as though the world was moving at a glacial pace. The surrounding people were saying something to me, but I only saw shadows. I heard noises, but I could not understand anything. It was only until someone put under my nose ammonium carbonate that I began to react from my emotional lethargy. To adjust my vision, I instinctively leaned back and blinked several times. Everyone was watching me, as Diana approached me, she helped me to stand up. I slowly walked to an armchair and sat down, looking straight ahead.********************I stayed in the same spot not moving, staring into nothingness. As the minutes passed, I was surrounded by colleagues who wanted to console me, but nothing worked. Edward's life was i

Tha fallNora When I heard her questions, something clicked in me. My pain was so great when I found out about this accident that I couldn't think of anything else. My attention was drawn to Diana, waiting for her to say something. Gabriel was present when all this happened, so Diana looked at him. Looking back at her, he lowered his head and gazed at the floor. His face turned into one of desolation. The pain was evident in his face. It was imperative that he tell us about the accident and why it happened.“There was something wrong, and it wasn't Edward's or Roco's fault. Always following protocol, they never went outside what was expected of them. I just watched as they fell, helpless. Roco and Edward were descending to retrieve the latest victim. They helped her out and restrained her with the harness, so she could get up with no problem. Things were fine until that po

I cant wait to see you againNora It has been a month since the tragic accident. Edward will be transferred to another section of the hospital today. Thank goodness, the doctors have already approved my permanent residence at the hospital. Each day, for the entire month, I stared at him through the glass for hours at a time, pointless, with no hope of easing his pain. Even though he was still unconscious, I could see that the pain was tormenting him even though he was not awake. Through his eyelids, I saw his eyes move constantly from side to side. How many times did I want to put my hand on his forehead to calm him down? How many times did I see his skin becoming pale and sweaty? Too often and constantly. Yet, I was only present from a distance, witnessing his pain. Several times, he was on the brink of death that month. Not only did his heart struggle, but his injuries were horrendous. Edward's state proved to be a testam

Must be him Nora   To further stimulate Edward, I put his hand on my belly. I was already five months pregnant, and my baby was growing a lot. My abdomen was visible and my clothes no longer fit. I told Edward how it went with the doctor and the ultrasound. Just like me, the baby was growing very fast and healthy. Additionally, I told him I already knew the gender of our baby, so if he wanted to know, he would have to wake up. Due to spending every day with Edward, I did not have time to go to the rescue centre. I had my responsibilities there, but I told Patty that as long as Edward didn't open his eyes, I wouldn't leave his side. She assured me they could manage without us, and they would wait for us until we returned.  Hilda used to visit me at the hospital regularly too. Right now, she was my main support. Without her, I wouldn't know what to do. She was accompanied o

I can see his eyes againNora After this, I decided not to think about Erik any more. I didn't want to have him on my mind. There was no room for him in my life, no way. So I closed that chapter, but without lowering my guard. If not him, the criminal was still at large, and we did not know who he or she was. Edward and I were very vulnerable in this hospital. I lived practically here, with him. And I was urging him to wake up to take him away, where no one could touch us. One morning, I woke up to go to the bathroom, and as I got out of the makeshift bed that the hospital provided for me, I saw Edward's eyes staring at me. I didn't react for several seconds, I wasn't sure what I was seeing. It could be my imagination or that I was still dreaming. But after seeing Edward's eyes glow with indescribable emotions, and seeing how a small tear escaped and rolled down his cheek until it was lost in the pillow, that's when I knew

Finally freeErikMy suit's sleeves were adjusted, and my tie was fixed. This has been a long time since I've used one. As soon as I had finished fixing the last details of my suit, I stood in front of the gate and waited. Keeping my eyes fixed on it, I waited without looking back. Slowly, the doors opened, and I was blinded by a bright beam. My hand was raised to block the intense glow hitting my face, but I was not successful; now, the light is the least of my concerns. I had to savour this moment, as I was about to walk towards my freedom. Once the doors were fully open, the security guard inside the surveillance booth shook his head. He let me know that I could proceed. Without wasting more time, I began to take one step forward after another, until I reached my freedom.I've been locked up in this pigsty for three and a half years. But I was finally free. Then, a few steps from me stood two cars. As the first one's door opened, my lawyer got out. As did Tomas and Daniel, from th

Cleaning myself Erik I got into the bathtub and turned on the tab. All the prison filth was washed away by the hot water as it rushed over my body. It had symbolic meaning for me. It marked the beginning of a new me and the death of the old one. From now on, my life will be in my hands. I won't let anyone stand in the way of my decisions, not even my mother. Nobody will be able to influence me, and I won't let their opinions affect me. As a result of trying to please others, I have failed in my life. I am always looking at how others view my actions.  Even with my father, I was in need of his recognition. I used to try to fit in, but not any more. From today, I will be superior, I will do things my way, and nothing that people think will matter to me. From today, I will no longer be concerned with appearance

Vinci?Erik“We haven't heard from him since Frank died. It appears that he is hidden or dead. However, my sources say he most likely is still alive. From what I can see from everything here, we don't know who the perpetrator is?” Daniel shook his head, which indicated we knew nothing up until now. “We don't even know who he is, which is why we have kept our guard up. We are also in the crosshairs of this person. As some of our establishments have allegedly been compromised along with the FBI. They seem to be working together. That is why they were able to reach you because someone from our circle was with them. They are making an alliance to eliminate criminal cells because of political motives. A single criminal organisation can be controlled more easily than several. Other countries often follow this practice. The American government appears to be following this trend. Similarly, in Mexico, they have an agreement wit

Wakeup, my loveNoraWhich flavour will I choose now? I'm thinking a vanilla latte would be nice. The coffee from the machine in this hospital has already made me sick, but there is nothing I can do. There are a few coffee shops nearby, but I can't leave Edward alone. So machine coffee it will be. I picked a flavour and waited for the machine to complete the process. I took a deep breath and leaned against the wall. We are so excited that soon we will be able to go home. I already miss my bed and having breakfast with Edward. Despite everything, I cannot waver. And luckily for me, I have friends who support me, and they have been with us day and night. I call that solidarity. It is the team's visiting day today. I am preparing to receive them. The good thing is that Hilda is already with me. She i

We will smile againNora Now I had a purpose, and this is how I was able to open my eyes. The room was bright, and I knew immediately that I was in the hospital. I stared at the ceiling for a few minutes, then turned my gaze to the side where I heard noises. Patty and Hilda were quietly sitting next to my bed. They hadn't realised that I had already woken up. Until I moved my hand, getting their attention. Patty was the first to see me, and she got up quickly. She took me by the hand and, with a bleak expression and almost whispering, she said. “How do you feel?” I nodded my head, letting her know that I was fine. Afterwards, Hilda came to my side and put her hand on my shoulder. I was sure that she wanted to transmit her strength to me, but nothing right now could warm my heart. I wa
