Nora and Erik; When we were nothing

I couldn't save myself Nora My dad encouraged me to say something, but I just held out my hand to say hello. Erik just raises an eyebrow in amazement. Sure, he wasn’t expecting this. Then, he left me there, he didn’t take my hand. I put it down and my face turned red from embarrassment. I knew that everyone does that when greeting someone, I don’t know why Erik took it wrong. “Okay, Charles, I agree. I’m sure you’ll keep an eye on her until I come to collect her.” That was the first time I heard his voice. And to my little self, it sounded like thunder had fallen in the middle of the house. My dad smiled even brighter, “you don’t have to worry, Erik. Nora will be ready for you when the time comes.” I turned to see my dad since those words did not make sense in my head. “I hope so Charles, I’ll keep an eye anyway.” He nodded his head, then turned around and left the office. I was left with my mouth open looking at his back. And with a bad feeling. Until I’m re

Yes, I am a bitter woman Nora I decided to have a bath after feeling sorry for myself in bed for a while. I want to remove all traces of them from my body. And especially him. I took out my pyjamas from the closet and took them with me to the bathroom. I learned, the hard way, what could happen if he came into my room, and I was in a towel or underwear after the bath. It doesn’t matter that I locked the door. He will always have access. As he once told me, this was his house, and he could go anywhere he wanted. OK, so the bathroom is the safest place to change. I turned on the hot tap and put some bubbles in the water. I try to use floral scents, as I found that these oils relaxed me and kept my mind calm. After removing my clothes from me, I dove in. The sensation of hot water on my skin made me shiver. I needed all the comfort I could get. I put a wet towel on my face and relaxed. After a while, I felt my fingers wrinkle, and not only that, the water had tu

Waiting for the storm Nora After closing the bathroom door, I walked straight ahead. When I had just passed him, he grabbed my arm and pushed me against the wall. Putting his face in front of mine, he drew me into a corner with his arms. He pressed his forehead to mine, and I could hear that his breathing was heavy. And between teeth, he said to me, “I’m sick of you and your tantrums. You’re going to act as my wife for the rest of the afternoon and when we get home. You will go straight to the basement.” Those words fell on me like ice water. I expected it, my fear always came true with this man. If he was going to lock me up anyway, then I wouldn’t have to play anymore. So I pushed him away with all my might, far from me. “Don’t you dare to touch me again with your disgusting hands. Your hands are filthy and smell like a prostitute’s vagina.” Without waiting for his reply, I headed for the exit, not before grabbing my handbag that was on a hanger by the entr

The fall Nora The door to the small bathroom was open, and as I walked in, it smelled a bit bad. Looks like they haven’t cleaned here since my last visit. How degrading. I sat on the toilet and peed. But I felt a lot of pain and burning when doing it. This was new, he had never hit me like this. After cleaning myself, I stopped to pull up my underwear, because I noticed that the water was a little red. What could I do? Nothing. Forgetting about that for the moment, I went to the sink to wash my hands. And what received me when I saw myself in the mirror horrified me. I closed my eyes immediately, I couldn’t see the image before me. My eye was completely closed, my nose was swollen and full of blood. My lips are cracked and bloody. I had a gigantic bruise on the other side of my face. Now I know why my head hurts so much. My spirit plummeted at that moment, I lowered my head and went back to bed. I didn’t turn off the light, I just leaned back facing the wall

The doctor Nora So, what I wanted to know was how long would the doctor keep me here. Then, I asked the nurse, “Can you tell me how long you plan to leave me here?” The nurse grabbed the datasheet that was beside my bed and answered. “Of course, Nora, your doctor wants you to stay here for one more week. Due to the damage you suffered, he considered that possibility. The best course of action is to keep a close eye on you.” Okay, I’ll consider it my holiday for one week. I thanked her and said I was hungry and wanted to eat something. She said that the menu would be brought to me in a moment. So I preyed on that time to try to stand up. Although I’m not sure what condition my body is in, I’m eager to stretch. Tentatively, I sat up, luckily it didn’t hurt that much. I could see with satisfaction that I was already improving. I put my feet down and tried to stand up. Then, I held onto the bed rail and managed to put my feet on the floor. Furthermore, I don’t kn
