Chapter 21: Nora is sentence to death
Derrick left Mexico very angry, broken and sad. All he could remember was Lily kissing another man. "What has his mum got to do with this? Lily has never met his mum, so what was she saying? What nonsense was that?" Derrick thought. "No, she just found someone else. Whatever she said was pure nonsense" He thought. He remembered their kiss.

Luis smiled and said to Nora "Do you remember the address of your house in Venice?" "Yes" replied Nora. "Write it down for me (He gave her his book and a pen and Nora wrote down the address). Good" "But what do you need the address for," asked Nora curiously. "Because there is no place like home" replied Luis still smiling. Lily looked at him with a frown. "Why did you become a nanny if you were working in an office before," Luis asked curiously. "My late husband was the CEO of the company and he employed me. So, when he died, his successor fired me" she said sadly. "I will get you out of here. I promise" Luis said and left with Lily back to the hotel. It was almost dark when they arrived at the hotel.
