Love in ruins Chapter thirty-two
to farewellI didn't want Sandro following me that day, especially on what I was going to do. My apartment was on the second floor. I looked out the window, towards the street below, to make sure that if I fell, I would come out unharmed. It was too risky. There was no escaping through the window. But I knew that Sandro was interested in the neighbor who lived next door to me. So I made up a lie, so he could go there, and I could leave without him seeing me.— I need a favor – I stretched my neck out, looking at him, who, sitting on the floor in the hall, didn't look me in the eye – I need to go to the bathroom and there's no toilet paper.—I'm not going out to buy you toilet paper,– he growled.— I'm not going to ask you to do this – he said – ask the neighbor next door, and say it's for me.Sandro got up so fast that I even got scared.— Do you really want me to pass this shame? - he asked. — There won't be time to go there – I made a face – I'm too tight.— Do you swear? - he wide

The change of lifeAfter Luke left, I spent the entire afternoon thinking about him and everything he had said to me. In the painful farewell and the feeling I had that I wouldn't see him anytime soon. I thought about the secrets he was hiding and how dark his life could be, for him to act weird all the time.The next day, the hell of my life began.There was no marriage at all. That morning, that vixen was already packed and was waiting at the door of my house. I witnessed her enter the house which was my mother's through the front door and with a wide smile on her face, unable to say a single word. She would sleep in Desiree's bedroom, eat from the dishes Desiree held so dear, and live the life that was my mother's. I didn't know if I could endure this hell for long.Claudio continued in that work euphoria, while Rebeca, who was his boss, spent most of her time with her ass tucked into the couch at our house. How did my father get along with that kind of person? Every day I spent wi

Luke returns to Rio de Janeiro It was six o'clock in the morning that day. I'd barely slept the night before, replaying the entire escape plan in my head. I knew that my ticket to Rio de Janeiro would be quick. Not only that, but I would see my mother and then Gonzalo would ship me back immediately. Helena's state of health also worried me. I couldn't even bear to think of her dying of disgust for the evil things that Gonzalo put her through. And for her, I would risk my life if I had to. Sandro took the bags and ordered me to go downstairs. There was a car waiting for us and the driver was the same one who had brought me here when I arrived. The plane was the same, the pilot was the same. And I was still treated like a prisoner. I got on that plane and memories flooded me. I remember anguish exploding in my chest. From the fear I felt, the hatred and the desire for revenge that burned inside my heart. Now I was leaving, leaving behind friends, a lover, and other bad memories. I wo

AuroraI had just served the only customer in the ice cream parlor that morning, when I watched Naldo enter the room. My heart rejoiced that I would have someone to talk to. I was poorly dressed, in uniform. Maybe he found my situation funny or shameful, but when our eyes met, I saw a glow unlike anything I could imagine.— Aurora – he smiled, holding one of my hands – are you working here now?— Hi Naldo - I smiled awkwardly – I really needed this job, but it's only been a few days.— Does your father still insist on this?— This time Claudio is innocent – I watched him sit on a bench in front of me – I can't stand having to spend the whole day looking at my stepmother's face.— What do you mean, stepmother?I had forgotten that I hadn't talked to Naldo since Desiree's funeral.— So many things happened after Desiree died – I started – days later, my father put his mistress to live in the same roof as me.— So fast – he said, surprised – and how was your reaction?— I tried to stop –

LukeMy tears wet my mother’s robe. I don’t remember crying this much in my entire life. I wiped my eyes before looking at her, and playing a character I’ve never been.— How do you leave without saying goodbye? – She looked at me tenderly – not a phone call, not a message.— Sorry, mom – I had to interrupt her before she told the whole truth – the opportunity came up, and I couldn’t refuse.— What college are you doing? – Gonzalo really was a beautiful liar, he hadn’t told her almost anything. - how is the New Jersey?I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. What answer would I give her?— College of letters – was the first thing that came to my mind – New Jersey is…— Why lyrics? – She had a wrinkle of doubt on her forehead – What happened to you, my son? I liked to live intensely. I never saw you with a book in your hands, much less new that you liked to study.— There are many things about me that you don’t know – a lump formed in my throat. I felt like the worst human being on ea

Aurora receives a visit from GeaneIt was the end of the day at the ice cream parlor, and I was getting ready to leave when Geane entered the store. She walked hurriedly towards me, her face closed and her eyes red, indicating that she had been crying.— Where did Luke go? She leaned against the counter and her voice was high and challenging.— Why do you want to know? – I took off my apron, but I spoke without looking into her eyes.— You think you're too smart, isn't Aurora? – She laughed, becoming agitated.He turned his back on me, walked to the other side and came back, facing me again.— My mistake was introducing you to him – his voice rose another decibel – but how could I have guessed that you would steal him from me.— You're out of your mind – he said, as he walked out of the ice cream shop, but Geane was faster than I. Grabbing me by the arm, he stopped me from leaving.— Where did Luke go? – Now his voice was a boom.The owner of the ice cream shop came out, scared. He hu

LukeAs Sandro walked me out of the hospital, I managed to control my impulses to be as cool as possible in carrying out the plan. I couldn’t fail, much less put feelings in between. If I thought too much about my family, I would instantly suffer and put them at risk.I stopped suddenly and put my actor to act.— I need to go to the bathroom, Sandro. – I tried a frustrated expression, as if the need was urgent – I can’t hold it.— I’m sorry, – he shook his head in denial and walked back towards the exit.— Can’t make a stop to go to the bathroom?He came back and looked me right in the eyes.— The last time you said you needed to go to the bathroom, you ran away. – He pointed his finger in my face – I’m not going to fall for that talk of yours again.They should not consider it an escape because I defended myself.He thought about it, knowing I was right.— If you want, you can stay in the bathroom with me. – He had an expression of disgust – besides, how would I escape from this hospi

AuroraI sat for almost an hour on the sofa, my mother’s notebook in my hands, not believing what I was seeing. Rebeca left the house with an ironic smile, satisfied with having won the battle.Claudio came home from work, and I was still there, with a dazed and puzzled expression on my face.— Where’s Rebecca? – It was the first thing he said, barely looking at me.— I don’t care – I let the hate speak for me – and did I mention how much I hate that woman?— Who needs to love her, it’s me – dropped the backpack on the sofa and watched the corridor behind Rebeca.— And how can you love someone like him? – I asked, and he looked at me – but are you incapable of loving your own daughter?— What’s going on with you, Aurora? – It’s obvious that he would evade the subject.— She deleted my book – a tear ran down my face – the book I spent months to finish, and she deleted the only copy I had of it.— Write another one,– he said, without any empathy for my feelings.It amazed me at Claudio’
