Chapter 142

• Nora knew she shouldn’t let Luca’s harsh words get to her because he was only saying those words to get her to leave him but the more that he pushed her away, the harder it was for her not to be hurt by his words, he told her to her face that she was staying around him for money and that shit had hurt so bad. For the first twenty-four hours after he woke up, he didn’t say anything to her but she didn’t mind; the minute he could talk to her, the first thing he had said to her was for her to leave. He hadn’t stopped asking her to leave every opportunity he got, that was the only conversation he had had with her since he woke up, it was as if the Luca she knew was still not back and she tried not to overthink things but with him being so indifferent and accusing her things she never once thought about made her sad.
• When she left him, she had taken a cab to the mansion, one because she was too fucked up to drive at the time and also because she didn’t want to call any of his men to drive her own, once she arrived at the mansion, she went straight to the room she had used when she first got to the mansion. She cried herself to sleep. She was supposed to be happy because she had spoken to his doctor earlier and he had said he had a lot of progress and that he would be better sooner than they had predicted, even the fear that he might be permanently unable to walk was found to be false, the doctor told her that he would heal and be able to walk again, she heard such good news and had happily wanted to share with him but the crazy man had other plans for her.
• Nora got tired of staying in bed and wallowing in self-doubts and pity. She got out of bed and walked downstairs. She heard someone in the kitchen and walked towards it hoping that it would be Maria. She needed to speak with someone but she didn’t want to call or disturb Roseline.
