Love in ruins Chapter sixty-one
Luke FagundesThat night took a long time to pass. At least I had that impression. I didn’t connect with those things anymore. While I had a glass of juice and my old friends, at least for a long time I called them, laughed at me, the rest of them got drunk, sinking into a fake fun. How many times did I do that, get drunk and smile to hide how unhappy my life was?What made the night almost unbearable was the fact that Tayná stayed by my side, insinuating how much she would like to stay with me that night. The Luke of the past wouldn’t pass up that chance. He would have already dragged the girl to his room and had fun. But I had no interest in hanging out with her or anyone else at that party. People pretend to be happy I’m back, but I doubt they helped look for me when I was supposedly missing.Soon they all left, and I could finally breathe in peace.— Didn’t you like the party, Luke? – Helena sat next to me on the sofa – he looked bored, as if he had a weight on his back.— I only

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

LukeI was still in the gonsales beta when Aurora called me. I was sitting in reception, watching the cops come and go the entire time. Likewise, I looked down at my bloody hands. My father’s blood and I couldn’t accept what had happened. If I had sped up a little more or not wasted so much time on unnecessary conversation, maybe I would have been able to save him. I blamed myself for arriving too late, and worse, for knowing that it could happen and not having done anything to try to save my father. I watched them take his body away, and I cried. How was I going to tell my mother that? How would I explain to my family that Gonzalo had been murdered?I held the cell phone, and it got blood marks. I held back tears several times while talking to Aurora, but when I told her that Gonzalo was dead, it was as if someone shuddered through me and forced me to pour out all my pain.“I’m so sorry, Luke”, she also cried, as if the pain was hers too, “I wish I could be there with you”.“Aurora,
Love in ruins Chapter sixty-four
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

LukeI had never witnessed such desolation in one person as I was seen in Helena. We had to give her tranquilizers. I had a lot of things to explain to my mother and sister, but I couldn’t make them hate Gonzalo before his funeral. The truth would come, but it wouldn’t come now.Gonzalo’s death was already all over the news and the search for Leo Caliento apparently as soon as possible. I watched at the TV and laughed at the theater that journalism put on about my father’s death, so I advised Natalia to forbid Helena to see that news. People had no idea what was going on inside the Fagundes’ mansion. Their reality was different from ours.I tried to ignore all that and headed towards the funeral home. The family lawyer offered to do all that work, but I turned him down. That was the least I could do for Gonzalo.I was called to go and recognize my father’s body; it was one of the hardest things I had to do in my entire life. Looking at it lifelessly and imagining it could have been di

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 watched from afar as Aurora chatted with my mother, while Gonzalo’s former partners spoke of their concerns about how beta gonsales would proceed without his stewardship. I felt like they were putting all the responsibility on me. Not only that, but I soon made up any excuse and left. I walked towards where Aurora was.— So you’ve already been introduced – referring to Aurora feeling so good next to my mother.— I never imagined that I would see you in a serious relationship one day, – she commented, and I laughed when I saw the astonishment on Aurora’s face.— We’re not dating yet – I looked right into Aurora’s eyes. – But it’s just a matter of time.Aurora’s cheeks turned red, and I continued to laugh. It was amazing how he could change my mood.— if you don’t mind, I’m going out for lunch with Aurora. – I spoke to Helena.— I don’t mind, – she said. – The lawyer will come to the house in the morning to talk about Gonzalo’s will and about the beta gonsales situation.My good

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
