The Charity Ball Nora   Living at Hilda's house has been a dream. Everything is so expensive here, that I am even afraid to touch it. We have people available 24/7, 365 days a year. Money and position have the power to buy anything you want. And it's been a month since I divorced Erik, and my mood has not changed. There is an emptiness in my soul, and I don't know what is causing it. There is no way that I could be with him. These last three years have been proof that our relationship was going nowhere. Respect is something he could never give me. Despite the fact that I lacked nothing monetarily, there was something still missing in my life. It was a man who valued me and gave himself to me completely, as I did. Erik was not that man. And despite the love I had for him, he did everything in his power to put out that flame.

Looking my bestNora It's hard not to be impressed with Hilda. I suppose after spending two hours at the beauty salon, it has to be. She chose to wear her hair in an elegant bun at the base of her neck. It is embellished with two sapphire diamond brooches. It's amazing how beautiful she looks. Her dress is mermaid-style, blue. The head brooches are the perfect match. She selected this style of dress because of her short stature because she said that other styles made her look bad. I'm not sure about that, but the result is very good. And of course, she is wearing the highest heeled shoes I have ever seen. But being honest, they don't make much of a difference. Poor soul.As for me, I want to show off my legs. I am only 23 years old, and I want to feel like one. Taking risks, being free. I no longer have limits, nor do I have anyone to impose them on me. Therefore, I chose a stra

The first time I met him Nora The more I heard about all this, the more it interested me. I could not believe all the work they do, and we as normal citizens, are not aware. She also told me that thanks to donations from these kinds of charity balls, it was how they stayed afloat. The government supported them, but as it was clear, it was not enough. The safety of the rescuers came first, and if they were not protected, the victims less. Everything she said made perfect sense. We were walking towards another scene where another group of rescuers was explaining what was happening to some guests. The man who was giving the explanation was turning his back on us, so Paty called him to introduce me. “Edward, Hey!” He turned quickly and saw us out of the corner of his eye. We joined the conversation after he motioned for us to do so. He was not older than thirty, and it was obvious that he was in good health and shape as his job required. He was your typical American next door neighbour

The breakfastErikI was in the dining room having breakfast with my mother. When Claudia made her presence known, greeting us all effusively. "Good morning everyone, what's for breakfast today?" She walked over to me, and kissed me on the cheek, then she sat down next to me, as she waited for the maid to come to take care of her. Then, Claudia turned her attention to my mother, smiling at her. "How have you been, Rosa? I have not seen you around. What have you been doing lately?" My mother raised her head, looking into her eyes. She glanced at me, giving me a disapproving look."Erik, I'd like to have my breakfast in peace from now on. In addition, I wish I could be in my own home without having to meet all kinds of people that I don't know or don't want to meet. That's the minimum I expect. If you aren't able to offer it to me, I'd better find another place more private to move to. This house looks more like a catwalk than a home." My mother returned to her food without saying anyth

A suspisious lunch Erik The next day, I found out that my mom had left in the morning. I was devastated and didn't know what to think about it. Her words cut me like knives. Deep down, I know she's right, but she's my mother. And she should stay by my side. First Nora, and now my mother. The only two women I have ever loved, and they left me. I accept that I am not the easiest to deal with, but they owe me blind loyalty. The knock on the door brought me to reality. Claudia entered without waiting for my permission, she saw me and came over to me. She sat on my lap and start to kiss me on the mouth. I kissed her back since at this moment, I needed all the comfort available.  The kiss heated up, igniting my desire. I spread her legs and reached into her panties. Claudia was ready for me. Her moan told me what

The attemptErk Hiding behind the table, I immediately fell to the ground. I took out the gun I was hiding in my calf and used the table as a shield. I started shooting at the same time. The men hid wherever they could; one of my bullets struck one in the chest, who cried out in pain. As I was shooting at them, the other two started shooting back at me. A bullet managed to pass the wood table, hitting me in the leg. "GRRRR" But despite the pain, I kept fighting back. I emptied my pistol into them and quickly reloaded. I started shooting in all directions until there was not a single bullet left. After that, there was only silence. I still had my knife, so I took it out of my coat pocket and got ready for the attack. But this never came. I looked out to see what was happening. And with satisfaction, I saw that

Thinking about him Nora I was lying on my bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking. Why is it that every time I imagined his face, the butterflies in my stomach would flutter non-stop? It's not like I'm 15 years old. But I can't contain the emotion Edward provokes in me. Is it love at first sight? No, no, that doesn't exist, does it? I turned onto my side and hugged my pillow. Since the charity ball, I have not seen or spoken to Edward, and I'm so distressed and anxious. I want to at least talk to him on the phone. That would cure my anguish for a moment. On the day of the charity ball, Edward, true to his word, was with me the entire time. He explained what they did, how they did it, and why they needed to do it. In this ballroom, every detail was carefully planned, in order to convey the difficulty of the situation rescuers face during an incident. They are always at risk of losing their lives. I was in awe of Edward's bravery. Every word that came out of his mouth was a new unders

The call Nora   “Of course I'm ready. I can't wait to try that tempura sushi roll.” With a smile from ear to ear, I approached Hilda and took her by the hand. We left the house and the limousine was already waiting for us. The driver helped us up, and we immediately set off, heading to the shopping centre that I adore so much. On the way, Hilda and I were talking about the coffee machine that caught my attention. “Ah, that, yes, it was a gift that the Italian ambassador gave us at our wedding.” Wow! I was surprised. No, I was stunned. “You have to get me one like it. My life won't be the same without it.” Hilda looked at me in amazement, "why do you say you wouldn't be the same? It is at your disposal whenever you want, and you know it.”  I gave her a shy smile and shook my head in denial. "No Hilda, you have stolen my heart, and I really ap

An amazing date Nora   This trip to the mall was something that I can never forget. This day was full of new experiences, and I discovered feelings that I didn't know existed.  We also had a lot of fun. After we finished eating, we went shopping, but not only that, we found an arcade, Edward vs. Nora, because Hilda refused to take part. She said that this was for children and that she was already on the other side. Whatever that means. Then, Edward took us to buy ice cream. The store had at least 50 different flavours. I chose one that said piña colada and coconut. Edward went for a boring vanilla flavour. But the ice cream, on his lips,  looked more like an exotic treat. Hilda chose the pistachio one. I didn't want this day to end, but unfortunately, it was time to go back. Gonzalo would b

Out of the hospitalErik It has been two days since I woke up in the hospital. One of the doctors has tried to convince me that I should stay here for at least another week. I don't need to waste my time on that. There is an important issue that needs to be handled. My time is running out, and I cannot allow myself the luxury of letting more time pass. Throughout the entire process, I have been guarded by my security team, and at the same time, we are also investigating the attack. It's a very delicate case, and I have to make my decisions very carefully.Nevertheless, one thing is certain - they will pay the price with their lives. There should be panic in people when they hear my name, Erik Costa. Henceforth, I will ensure it does. Any individual who wishes to cross paths with me will have to think a
