The visit
Nora
The nurse hesitated but left the room without saying anything. The Dr returned his eyes to me and saw my eyes. “You have been here, since you arrived, almost seven days. I read your report and the injuries do not coincide with a fall, as was established in the beginning. This is rather a case of domestic abuse, I can tell. ” My face said it all because he stopped and patted my hand. Then he continued. “I know my colleagues filled out the report, thanks to your husband’s insistence. But we know that is not so. I want to ask you something.” Staring into my eyes, he continued. “Do you want me to report this incident as domestic violence? You can trust me, I won’t do anything you don’t want.” Oh! My eyes started to fill with tears. It was so long ago that I had received someone’s support.
And with a choppy voice, I replied, “Thank you, but I don’t want to put your life at risk. And even if you fill out the report and take it to the police, no one w

Back to him again Nora After assimilating what he told me, I put it on with disgust. His coat smelled like him, I didn’t want his scent on my skin. But I remembered the doctor’s words. And convinced myself that later I would have time and health to fight him. Erik continued to watch me from where I was. I could feel his gaze. But fortunately, the nurse entered with the wheelchair, cutting off the tension. She pulled it closer to me and was about to help me up when Erik told her that he would do it. Why? It’s the only thing I could think of. I didn’t want his hands near me. Those same hands caused me so much damage and pain. When he came over to help me up, I stepped forward and immediately sat in the wheelchair. I went to the nurse and told her. “I’m ready.” She saw us nervous, not knowing what to do. But Erik, without taking her into account. Took the handles of the wheelchair and pushed me towards the door. We left the hospital in complete silence until we

Finishing my sentence Nora After I refused to kiss him, he rested his forehead against my forehead and squeezed the back of my neck. After a few seconds, he sat up and said no more. Within five minutes, we had arrived. As soon as Thomas parked the car in the driveway, he got out to open the door for us. After Erik got out and grabbed my hand, I had no choice but to follow him and let him help me. The door of the house opened, and Rosa came out to greet us. When she saw me, she grabbed my hand and said, “Oh! I’m glad you’re feeling better now, Nora. Erik was so worried about you.” Her gaze hardened and she continued. “I want to give you some advice - don’t let this happen again. You have to change your attitude. A marriage cannot go on like this. And it is your responsibility to bring peace and happiness into this house.” “Now it’s not the time for that, Mother.” Rosa smiled at her son and changed her expression completely. “Erik, you are right, it isn’t my jo

Claudia Nora “I don’t have to tell you that my business partners are very dangerous people. And that anything that comes out of your mouth can put you at risk. So you are warned, go, you have half an hour to be ready.” In complete silence, I continued on my way, until I left that place. I felt, at that moment, that I could breathe again. I was going upstairs and came face to face with my husband’s mistress. She was leaving the room that she and my husband share. I felt like the veins in my eyes jumped. The hatred I felt towards this pair was poisoning my heart more than it already was. But I had to swallow it and feign indifference. She jumps with fright when she sees me. I was sure she wasn’t expecting me around. The unpleasant woman was dressed in almost nothing. Seeing her body and imagining them together made my stomach turn. But when I saw her standing there, my mind began to work. The only thing I could lose now was my life. So I smiled at her tenderly,

The bedroom talk Nora I wanted to call Thomas, to let him know that I had already come out. But he was outside the place waiting for me. He told me to follow him. We walked to the car and headed in the direction of Erik’s house. Upon arrival, he carried all my purchases up to my room and I followed him. He put the things down on the floor and left, not without saying goodnight to me before leaving. I didn’t bother with the things on the floor, and I went to my wardrobe and took out my pyjamas. But first, I had to have a bath, since I had days without one. Then I filled the bathtub with different fragrances. After I waited for it to be full, I went in. I had a great time there until the water got cold, and I was forced to leave. With one towel, I wrapped my head, and with the other, I dried my body. But I realized that I had forgotten my pyjamas on the bed, so I had to go out like this. When I went to bed to find my clothes, I dried myself perfectly, and when

Rosa Nora The next morning, I woke up with pain in my body, in my lower region to be precise. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. I started looking in the cabinet for some aspirin or paracetamol. After searching for a while, I didn’t find anything. I decided that I would go for a run anyway, as has been my habit. A little muscle pain wouldn’t stop me now. I dressed in my sportswear and left my room. Going downstairs, and to my horror, I ran into Rosa. I got the impression that she was waiting for me. The last time I saw her, she didn’t have enough time to tell me all the things that were on her mind. Shit! I have to be very careful how I handle her. Because of whatever complaints she has about me, Erik would retaliate against me. I put on my most believable smile and walked over to her. “Good morning, Rosa.” I headed for the door, hurrying my steps, hoping to avoid her. But she anticipated my action and stepped in front of me. She also faked a smile, a

The party Nora I took a step forward and leaned against the door frame. They hadn’t noticed my presence yet, so I cleared my throat to get their attention. They both turned to see me, surprised to find them together. Erik stepped back, putting distance between himself and Claudia. What a stupid and unnecessary action. “No please, don’t bother. I was passing, and by accident, I heard what you were talking about.” I walked over to the coffee pot and poured myself a cup of coffee. Then, I turned to see them and offered them a friendly smile. Not only that, but I could see their looks of mistrust. I turned to Erik and said, “I have no problem with Claudia coming with us. In fact, I think it would be an excellent idea. She might as well keep me company. You know how boring those parties are.” I shrugged my shoulders, not giving importance to the matter, and turned around and left that place. My skin was already starting to itch from just being in front of them. I

The most secured placeNora“Nora, you are not behind, look at you. You squander class everywhere.”“Oh! Thank you very much,” and you don’t, I thought to myself.I didn’t say anything to Erik and headed for the door. But Erik had other ideas. He took my hand as I was about to open the door, and squeezed it hard, making me look up at him. Every time he touches me, I start to feel like my skin is burning. I looked at him with my surprised eyes. “I’m warning you, Nora, don’t provoke anyone. These people are not someone you can mess with.” His words enraged me. Why would I mess with them? I snapped out of his grip and said, looking into his eyes. “Of course not, it’s not like I have someone who has enough balls to protect me.” Saying that I heard a gasp of surprise from Claudia. Erik darkened his gaze further, and I could hear him grinding his teeth, holding back his anger at me.

HildaNoraThe reception staff was the only one outside, they were still welcoming guests. I walked in as if nothing had happened. No one announced me, nor was I bombarded with questions or handshakes, fortunately. I slipped through the sea of people until I reached the main hall. They were all in suits and the women were displaying their best dresses. There were some that had jewels hanging from those same jewels. Much extravagance for my taste. At that moment, I remembered The Collins. I hope I don’t find them here, because there are times when that happens. And to be honest, they messed up my emotional control. Putting that thought out of my head, I saw a waiter approach with a tray full of drinks. I did not miss the opportunity to have one. The champagne I chose smelled great. So I took a sip and was delighted by the taste of it.“I can assure you that it is one of the best in the world.” I took the glass from my mouth and turned to see w
