chapter 10
He had tried to be patient, to endure everything merely bearable and even more, but in the end he already knew the story, and therefore the end was already written, with his own name next to that of the woman he loved so much; the same one who had asked him not to interfere, but had waited long enough. A few days staying on the sidelines meant an authentic eternity trying not to waste a second to start his real life. He was going crazy; simply not hearing from him could not bode well. He kept wondering if Angy had finally mustered up the courage to confess to Nora everything they had kept secret. He supposed that was the case, but not hearing from them was maddening. He wanted to take care of her, and also her little baby. Everything was spinning until he lost his composure.
Then he decided in a second. He knew he had to; He knew he had to go back to the hospital and deal with the situation the same way she had. It wasn't going to be easy, but at least he'd find out one way or another where the hell Angy was.He drove anxiously the entire way, sweaty temples and cold hands behind the wheel. When he arrived and crossed that wave of people, walls and corridors, he was spotted by three people. Yes, as incredible as it may seem, Nora was already standing outside in the hall, accompanied by her parents, taking a walk to strengthen her legs.Their surprised faces were capital letters. There were a couple of strangers nearby, and they all agreed not to raise their voices too high to avoid attracting attention.Julia approached him maintaining a hostile attitude."You shouldn't be here." His eyes radiated hatred. You are no longer welcome.Dorian tried to avoid that first contact and put all his attention on Nora, who was looking at him like she had never done before, as if it were a doll broken into a thousand pieces, as if the simple act of breathing cost him a world.-What are you doing here?He felt ridiculous; He must have made some kind of excuse, but it was too late. He had no choice but to improvise.-Where is? He asked, referring to Angy.Vladimir twisted his head, understanding what he meant.-It is gone.A chill ran down his spine."What do you mean, he's gone?""I had nothing to do here, and neither did you." He took a step forward. It has returned to his life. You're supposed to know, right?He said nothing. The pressure on his head increased. How could she have left without him?"I've stayed out of it because she asked me to.""This is what you call staying out of it?" Julia snapped. You're a bastard, a bastard ... "Mom," Nora interrupted, "that's enough." She took several steps closer to see him closely. Give us a few minutes. I have to speak to Dorian.Julia, taken aback by what she had just heard, walked over to her daughter and stroked her cheek."Honey, you don't have to.""Mom, I'm fine." She didn't take her eyes off her still husband. Leave me alone with him.-Not in any way.-Please. His voice rose a little. I need it.This time it was his father who approached, reluctant."Is that really what you want?"Nora let the air escape between her teeth."Yes, it's what I want." You know I have nothing to lose anymore.Stunned, perplexed and confused, Nora's parents walked slowly down the hall until they were gone.Nora opened the bedroom door and motioned for Dorian to enter, closing behind her. He was confused by the environment he saw, machines and more machines around him. It must have been very serious.He turned to her and couldn't help but feel deep pity. He was so weak, so far from the person he used to be.-How do you feel?Nora's lips twisted at the inappropriate, offended question."I am alive, which is not little." He ran a hand over his bruised arm. Why did you save me?Dorian was surprised by that first blunt and blunt question. He was silent until he couldn't help his surprise.-Why do you ask me that?"Because I don't understand." It would have been easier for you to do nothing. That way at least I would have left you free."That wasn't what we wanted.""Don't give me those," he reproached. Don't be a hypocrite until the last minute."I don't pretend to be, but I assure you we couldn't let you… go." We searched every corner you can imagine, until Angy insisted that we go home. So when she walked into the bathroom and found you… ”Her foot prickled. Do you remember any of that?"No, the truth is that I hardly remember anything." He'd had too much to drink, one thing led to another, and… ”He looked away. When I wanted to realize it, I was in the bathtub, covered in cuts and a lot of blood around me. He was barely able to feel anything, not even pain."You shouldn't have," Dorian murmured."And you shouldn't have done everything else, but I guess it's too late." He ran his hands through his hair, ruffling it back. If I ended up in that situation, it was because of you. Don't pretend that you can't understand it. Maybe you would have done the exact same thing.Dorian couldn't believe Nora was holding back so much; the last time he saw her conscious, he was beside himself, striking out. Now, however, she was as sedated."I don't know how you have the strength to talk to me again," he admitted.Nora walked to the window, putting a hand on the glass. He breathed deeply and slowly."As I told my father just a moment ago, I have nothing to lose now, so I guess after surviving my pathetic suicide attempt, talking to you won't kill me." She turned to him, resting her back on the transparent surface. Besides, I have to tell you that I already know. I know everything. Absolutely everything. I mean everything behind it, everything you and Angy were trying to hide. She told me herself. He showed up around here and confessed everything.Dorian paled. Then he knew Angy had made it.-You did not know? She asked."Yes," she hastened to say, "but…" "You know?" The truth is that it was very convincing. At first I couldn't understand what he was trying to tell me but then… ”He paused. Everything he said turned out to be so persuasive, forceful, decisive and precise. I had never seen her so broken by anything or anyone. Now I begin to understand how much he loves you…. Well, I think it's mutual on your part though.Dorian took a step closer."And now that you know what's going on, what do you think?"Nora stabbed him with her eyes."Don't think for an instant that I'm going to be able to forgive you." Something like this is not going to happen, not now or ever. Nothing changes. It has turned out to be completely different from what I expected, but it is still a full-blown betrayal, a true infidelity. His eyes watered, but his voice didn't budge one iota. You became obsessed, you slept with her, she became pregnant and you were not willing to give up what you had, and it is clear that you would have continued to do it secretly if I had not found out, that is the only truth. I can't handle that. I can't tolerate everything you've done and step aside to give you the go-ahead. He pointed his finger at her. Don't think that I can easily bear to have you so close without wanting to kill you with my bare hands. I hate you, I hate you like I never thought I could, and you have done it by yourself.Dorian gulped, feeling even more pity and pity. The worst thing was knowing that he was absolutely right."I don't know what I can tell you." Her throat had gone dry. I've been a phony, a hypocrite, a liar, and a total bastard, but above all that, there is something beyond my control. You can't choose who to love, and even though I had the great fortune to meet you, I couldn't change who I am.Nora silently shed those filigree little tears. He wasn't sobbing, he wasn't making any noise, he even seemed not to breathe; she was just crying, still and fragmented into all its pieces."You knew all this time…" She wiped her cheeks. You were in love with her and still you weren't able to tell me."It wasn't easy.""I know that, but I had a right to know." He pursed his lips. I had no idea that you could be in love with two women at the same time."Honestly, neither do I." But it all happened so fast that I couldn't cope. I just kept going."And that's it?" Did you let it run in the hope that everything would get better on its own? How could you be so delusional?"I was desperate, Nora.""Let me doubt it," he snapped. You seemed very confident. I never thought you would be able to hide something like that from me. You had a double life…He was feeling worse and worse. Nothing agreed, he didn't know what the hell he was doing there. It was a farewell, of course, but it was not what he would have wanted if he had had a choice."It was all for her," Nora insisted. Every thing you did, every gesture or every motive implied it directly. How could I not realize it before? You did everything in order to keep her close, didn't you? That's why you talked to my boss, that's why you convinced me to go see her, excusing yourself, telling me that it was for my good, that you wanted me to not stop seeing her and yet ..."" I'm very sorry.Nora moved dangerously close to him, a foot from his face. The height that separated them, the conflict of feelings and the stabbing tension made every atom of those bodies agonize.-Tell me something. It was clear that what she was going to say was tremendously difficult, like a stab at herself. Did you marry me just so you could be close to her? Has there been anything that was true in our marriage? His voice cracked. Have you ever loved me?"Nora…" "Answer me, Dorian." Did you come to love me even for an instant?He closed his eyes, dropping his shoulders.-If the answer is yes. I loved you, although not in the same way.Nora slowly pulled away, shuffling, returning to her position by the window."You were never able to forget her." Her eyes were blank, her skin was white, and her lips were purple. Even at our wedding you were still watching her. Everything has been a lie, everything that I have lived in this time has not been real. He put his hands to his head. What did I do to deserve something like that?"You didn't do anything.""Yeah, and neither do you, and that's where the mistake is." You just let time go by. You could have prevented me from marrying you, prevented all this charade, but you decided to keep quiet so that nothing was discovered."We did what we thought was right."Nora frowned."Well, you were wrong." You, her, both of you. She hugged her body. I was supposed to trust you, and you played it on me from the start."That wasn't exactly so." He unbuttoned a button on his shirt. Before the wedding, Angy showed up at the studio to make sure she loved you. I wanted to know if my intentions towards you were honest.-And what did you say?"Yes, they were." I told her that I loved you and that I was going to marry you, that there was nothing she could do to stop it.He seemed surprised, but said nothing.-What would you have done? Dorian wanted to know."I don't know, but I certainly wouldn't have allowed things to go that far."-Sorry.Nora clenched her fists."I've never understood what the hell apologies are for." I've heard that so many times that I can't believe it. I can not believe you. For me you have become everything I hate in a man. Lies, infidelity, betrayal, selfishness ... All that is you.Dorian gulped."Yes, you are absolutely right." I am that and much more.Nervously, she tucked her hair behind her ear."What do you suggest I do, Dorian?" Because it is clear that as soon as you leave here you will run to look for her and it is likely that she will never see you again. Tell me what can I do when you've disappeared. What should I hold onto?"To your parents," he said in a whisper. To your work, to your friends, to everything you can. Everything that can bring you happiness.Her blue eyes flooded again."As soon as you walk out that door, everything that has been making sense to me will have ceased to exist." I can never have happiness again."Don't say that, you don't know." He resisted the urge to comfort her. You will love again. Someday you will find a good man who loves you beyond measure and you will love again."Yeah, but that won't be you."For the first time, Dorian did not suppress his desire to cry."I tried, Nora." I tried to be but I can't be the right man for you. I belong to Angy, and that is something I can never change. I don't expect you to understand it, but it is what it is. Sometimes things don't go the way we expect, and even though you can never forgive her or me, rest assured that I will not forget you. You did me a lot of good, more than you can imagine. At some point you were someone very important to me, but you can't be anything else, I'm sorry. I just hope you can start over, have other goals and see life as I see it. It is not always easy, but it is worth it. Now you cannot realize what I mean, but when you fall in love again, you will understand.The conversation had to end there, they both knew. Nora ran into his arms and Dorian held her tightly, burying his face in the golden hair. She shed the bitterest tears in her history and told him once again how sorry she was. She, for her part, looked at him closely as if she were trying to fix that face immortally in her memories, because from then on it would be the only thing she would have."I don't want you to go," she murmured against Dorian's chest, sobbing. Who am I kidding, I still love you; I love you very much, Dorian.-I have to do it. You have to let me go. If I stay, I will keep hurting you, and I don't want that. I wish you have a second chance, and the sooner I leave, the sooner you can start.Maybe it was dizziness or a sudden loss of strength, but Nora flexed her legs and dropped to the ground, even though he managed to hold her to avoid the blow. They stayed crouched on the ground for a few moments. Then she approached those lips that would go away never to return."Let me try one last thing…"Dorian, knowing what she meant, tensed."Nora, please ..."It's the last thing I ask of you, after that I won't see you again." Let me say goodbye as I want. She kissed him on the cheek. Please, please…Dorian knew he had no choice. After all the pain he had inflicted on her, he owed her at least that.-It's okay. He wiped her tears away with his thumbs. Do it.Nora looked at him with innocent, pure eyes that, although they exuded something much stronger than the involuntary loss of what was most dear to her, showed supreme ease. She had bite the bullet, and she was prepared to do what her body needed.He kissed him; she kissed him bitterly, knowing it was the end; She kissed him to leave an imprint that would surely not last an hour, maybe not a minute, but she struggled to feel something in that perishable touch that would shatter as soon as they parted. But he did it, he was doing it because Dorian had relented. She did it because she was desperate, but above all, she did it because despite everything, she loved him.Time passed and, after detaching from that touch of the lips, their life together, their bond, had definitely disappeared. It was done. They had just said goodbye.After a long time, the door to the room slowly opened and Nora and Dorian went out into the hall, to meet Julia and Vladimir.-What happened? Julia growled, noticing that Nora's eyes were still watery. What have you done to him now, miserable?Dorian did not answer. He wanted to get out of there immediately."You don't mean to say anything?" You are a coward.Nora, like a ghost dressed in white, put a hand on her mother's shoulder and shook her head."Mom, let him." He held his breath. Let it go.Julia opened her mouth, raising her eyebrows and looking at her husband, not understanding.-Than? What are you saying? Do you want me to just let him go?Nora gave Dorian a look, full of hatred, but also love, a mixture of both."Yes, I am asking you precisely that." He took a step back. Let it go"You can't be serious…" "I've never been so serious."Dorian left there like a soul that the devil carries; without stopping, without looking back. But of one thing he was sure, he would not forget it. Nora had been able to teach him a valuable lesson.His heart overflowed knowing that perhaps he could find her there. He had headed to Angy's hotel, hoping not to be late, but nothing was assured. He ran as fast as he could and stormed into the reception. He calmed down and walked over to one of the young women behind the counter. His complexion was dark, as were his eyes. She was looking at him curiously."Excuse me…" Dorian muttered.-How can I help you sir?"I'm looking for a woman who's staying here." Well, I don't really know if he's still doing it, but… "Could you tell me your name?""Angy." I mean, Angela. The last time, a few days ago, she was staying in room 219.The girl typed a few words on the computer but suddenly stopped abruptly. She looked at him strangely, looking away as in a tennis match, from the computer to him, and from him to the computer, as if trying to decipher or remember something.Dorian frowned.-What happen?The girl hesitated, but ended up asking him what was on his mind."By any chance are you not Dorian?""Yes ... How do you know my name?""Oh, excuse me, sir." I didn't mean… ”She became nervous. You see, the lady you are referring to is no longer here. He went.The metaphorical slap he received was monumental."He left…" He repeated it himself, trying to process it. He's gone… ”He turned and started walking. Thank you anyway.It didn't get very far."Hey sir, wait!"Dorian turned around, while the young South African put something on the black marble counter."He left this for you."The eyes flew directly to the paper; it looked like a note. He approached very quickly, and took it carefully, fearing the worst.-Thank you.She smiled at him.-Good luck.He walked a few yards away, re-emerging, merging with the street. He unfolded the paper slowly and once he was ready, he slid down those lines written in Angy's handwriting:I'm probably making another mistake leaving without you. I told you that I would go looking for you and it has not been like that. I've done it again, I've run again, but this time it's different. I have no idea what you have been able to do during this short interval of time in which you have departed, but I deeply appreciate that you have done it. I can tell you that I have finally made it; I have managed to stand in front of Nora and confess everything that binds me to you, although it has not made me feel better. Surely I have become the most detestable person in all of history, but I have the consolation of knowing that the end was written by me, because hiding has never been an option and we both knew it.You know where to find me, so I don't think you've lost me. I have a feeling that you will never do it again, so I have nothing more to say to you. I would probably say I love you, but at this point it is too short, nothing can compare with what is between you and me, so here I say goodbye. Even if it seems like goodbye, I know you won't let it be. It's a simple see you later.Completely yours, A.Lanjutkan membaca buku ini secara gratis

Tension could be cut with a knife. The rehearsals were turning out to be literally agonizing: looks of bewilderment and surprise were pointed directly at Angy, her clothes hanging over her slim frame. The same way they scrutinized Evan's eyes. It didn't seem the same; now he just nodded now and then and spoke only when asked. Everything was turned upside down. There was no communication between them, and Paolo, Fabio, Andrea, Valentina and Demetrio held their breath, fearful that the invisible bomb between them would explode at any moment. A hostile environment that they saw for the first time."I'm exhausted," Andrea complained. Couldn't we take a break?

Dorian listened attentively to the front entrance door open in the distance. The security cameras caught a glimpse of the long golden hair that shone thanks to the sun. Heart shaking with sheer joy, Dorian waited for Nora to appear imminently, wanting to see her again, but it didn't happen exactly the way it was intended. That woman flew by, without making a sound."Nora ..."She didn't answer. He passed by, without even turning his head. He crossed the room and disappeared, probably in the direction of the bedroom. Without thinking,

Dorian wanted everything to come out perfectly; He had secretly planned this dinner for weeks, and hoped the patience required had been worth it. He had taken her to one of the most exclusive restaurants in town, and luckily, he had managed to get them alone.Nora entered the restaurant cautiously, as if she couldn't quite believe she was there. Immediately after noticing her presence, an attentive waiter served her with elegance, asking her to accompany her to her table, located in the center of the enormous room, with elaborate meticulous details.

As expected, Evan still without a word. The following rehearsals after the fight between the two had become distant and cold; no one seemed to enjoy it."Guys, is Evan gone yet?" Angy asked, hoping it wasn't."I don't think so," Andrea answered. It's up.-At his office?

I couldn't believe it, but there it was. He had tried in every possible way but it had been useless to resist; Those green eyes were watching him closely, and Dorian felt his pulse race. Each heartbeat hit his chest with the force of a hurricane, and he silently asked her not to pull away from him again. He loved her, of that he was sure. Despite the distance, he had never stopped loving her; the imprint she had left on her soul had been so great that not a lifetime would have been enough to forget her. So there she was, silence hanging from her thin lips. He couldn't hide it anymore. He spent his days in Nora's company, but he knew that would never be enough; He could never give her in fifty years what Angela could give her in a matter of days. She had been the first and only woman he had lost his mind for, and now he wasn't sure he had regained it. She felt very close, perhaps too close. There was nothi

That day of good weather the island was full. Nora had decided to go visit her mother; It was her day off, and since Dorian was working she didn't want to be left alone in that gigantic house, so she showed up without warning. However, that turned out to be no problem for Julia, who had not stopped smiling since her young daughter was home, having coffee in the living room."It's weird not being around," Nora sobbed.-Tell me. Everything is too quiet.
