Love in ruins Chapter twenty-nine
Desiree is goneThere were still two days left before I said goodbye to my mother. Everything seemed like an endless nightmare. Maybe the penny hadn't dropped yet, even hugging her warm but lifeless body, I still didn't accept her departure. Geane tried to talk to me the day before, but I didn't answer. After that, she sent me several messages saying she was sorry and whatever else that didn't matter to me. Now it was easy to say I was sorry, that you cared, but as long as my mother was alive, no one cared about her.I confess that a revolt totally took hold of me. I felt angry at the hospital for neglecting her, angry at Claudio, who worked so hard but couldn't afford good treatment for her, angry at Geane who always claimed to be my friend, but never was.Furthermore, I woke up this morning and the first person that came to my mind was her, my mother. Even though I had kissed Luke the night before, my sadness kept my thoughts from anything other than Desiree's death. How would I liv

Luke and Naldo were at the door waiting for my return.— She left – Naldo says, assuring me, and I believe.— What happened there? Luke asks.— I don't want to talk about it right now.I shut up again and went inside. I filled a glass with water and drank. Likewise, I needed to calm down. Not only that, but I had to deal with one thing at a time. First bury my mother, and then return to the nightmare called Rebeca.I leaned against her coffin again, and the memories came and went all the time, like darts. God at least gave me the privilege of saying goodbye to my mother. How many people couldn't have that chance? I remembered her cooking for me, my favorite food. The two of us watching movies together, the happiness on her face reading my book for the first time.Oh mother, how you will be missed. The truth was, I never got used to it, and as I caressed her still swollen hands, I saw the cemetery men approaching, saying they needed to close the coffin.The time for goodbye had arrived

Luke is GonzaloAfter Aurora's mother's funeral, I was thinking about how bad her life was. There was so much chaos between the two of us that we didn't have time to talk about the kiss. But sometimes I was even grateful that this conversation didn't actually happen, I couldn't stay with Aurora, not while I was at war with my father.That day I kissed her, Sandro arrived saying that Gonzalo urgently needed to talk to me. He hadn't lied, but that conversation didn't happen that day.Gonzalo said he was busy, but would call me right away. And when I woke up this morning, the first voice I heard was his.Sandro shook my body and woke me up from the good dream I was having, but when I woke up, I didn't remember almost anything, just that Aurora was there.— Gonzalo on the phone – Sandro directed the device to me.I hadn't opened my eyes properly, I was still sleepy and didn't feel like talking to my dad, but it was a video call.“Pack your things, because you are going back to Rio de Jane

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
