Cursed by his Love (Completed)

Chapter 19

Finally, after trying the access code with different combinations, one day, I had got the right access code. And I have just two more days to pay Elena’s fees, so I should run as soon as possible from Frank’s house.

That very night, I escaped when Frank was sleeping. I rushed to my old room after getting a lift from a very good-hearted stranger. My room was not locked at all these many days, but still, all my things were there.

The next day morning, I went to the bank and withdrew the money that I saved for my sister Elena. Then I went to Albarracín.

I met Elena at home. The very first she noticed was the stitches on my face and she asked about it and somehow, I managed her and lied about it. I told her that I fell, and an iron rod made a cut deeply into the cheek. She was so worried about me.

‘Enough. I can see, you are going through a lot. Stay here, with me’, she launched a gloomy face.

‘No Elena, I can’t stay here, I have to work. I love my work there. It was just an accident. Don’t worry about this’, I smiled bitterly. Though the scar going to be permanent on my face, I really did not care much about it.

‘Here, half of the fees for your sports school. Pay it. We will pay the remaining money next year’, I said to her, handed the money.

‘What is this for? You had already sent me the full amount long before’

‘What? no, I didn’t send you any money’, I was in complete shock hearing this.

‘A man came and gave a lot of money the very next day I spoke to you on the phone’

I guessed the man must be one of Frank’s men and I exhaled heavily not knowing what to tell Elena.

‘The money was more than enough for my two years school fees including my stay. If you didn’t send the money, then who did? Even I wondered how you got so much money?’, Elena started to suspect and loaded me with her questions.

I still could not figure out what I should tell Elena. I lowered my eyelids and was thinking, twitching my lips.

‘Oh, so you got a rich boyfriend’, she smirked and started to tease me.

‘Shut up, shut up Elena’, I smiled out of blush.

‘Oh my god, look at your face, you are blushing’, she was making fun of me. ‘Tell me about him’.

I was showing zero in my hand by touching the tip of all other fingers with my thumb finger, ‘Look at my hand. What do you see? I have these many boyfriends’.

‘I don’t believe you. Did you kiss him? Tell me more? Please I want to hear your love story. Tell me where you met him first?’

I know Elena would not leave me if I didn’t say anything. So, I started telling her an instant made-up love story, which I got in my mind that minute.

‘So, what does he do?’

Shit, I didn’t prepare any answer to this question, should I tell her the truth? Of course, I cannot tell her that he was a gangster. ‘Well, he was like… into some business’

After hearing the story, she looked so happy as if she had achieved something in her life. She was with a full grin.

‘Okay come, let us go, meet Linda’, I sneered.

‘Oh, I got to go for practice now. Anyways, I am meeting Linda every day’

 ‘How long are you going to stay?’

I knew it was not safer for me to stay there. Soon Frank will find me.

‘I have to go today. I am sorry. I will come soon’, we smiled and hugged each other.

At Linda’s place.

‘What the f**k is wrong with you? Look at your face? Look’, showing my stitches on my face, Linda shouted at me. ‘So, you’re not going to tell me who did this to you’

‘I swear, I fell on the ground and an iron rod….’

She stopped me before even I finished speaking, ‘Do you think I am a fool to believe your stories. This injury clearly seems that someone had slapped you. Whoever it is, I will find the bastard’

‘He is already dead’

‘What?’, she was puzzled and stared at me.

I exhaled strongly, ‘Frank killed him’

‘Who is Frank?’

‘My… my… Someone I know’

‘Did he do this to you?’

‘No, he killed the person who did this to me’

She stared at me coldly, ‘Is Frank in jail now?’

I shook my head.

‘So, he is not an ordinary man. Which mafia gang does he belong to?’

I was wondering how Linda finds out just with a small hint. She was really smarter. I just exhaled strongly and didn’t reply.

‘Tell me which gang?’

‘Super Lilly’

‘Yeah, I have heard a lot about them. So, Frank was one of the goons in that gang?’

I shook my head.

‘Then?’

‘He was Super Lilly’s brother’

‘What the f**k? Nora, Seriously?’

I nodded.

‘Seriously? do you have any idea how dangerous it is? You don’t have to go to the city hereafter. Stay here with me.’

‘No Linda, I am not going Bilbao anymore and neither going to stay here. I am going to Valencia to start over a fresh life’

She looked at me so tenderly. ‘I really could not guess what you have gone through. But why don’t you just stay with me? I will take care of you’

‘I don’t want to drag you and Elena into this. I promise this problem will be solved soon. Then I will come and stay with you’

Linda launched an unhappy face. ‘I promise you, I will be fine’, I hugged her.

Later that day, I boarded the train to Valencia and seated next to the window. Due to tiredness, I slept as soon as the train started to move.

When I woke up, I saw a man’s lap. The man who was sitting next to me in a white suit, reading a magazine. I slowly peered at his face. f**k! It was Frank.

I was about to get up, Frank abruptly held my wrist, ‘Don’t make a scene. Just sit.’. Hearing his hoarse voice, I sat submissively.

At Valencia station.

When I and Frank got down from the train, I heard a gunshot and people started running here and there. I could not process what was happening.

Frank help my wrist and started rushing into the crowd. Suddenly, someone from the crowd stabbed Frank on his stomach. He almost fell on the ground, but I held him.

He pushed me away, ‘Run, just run’, he said this as he was groaning in pain.

What the hell? How can I run when he was bleeding? He never gives up on me whenever I was in trouble and, how can I now give up on him?

‘I am not going anywhere’, I held him tightly and we both were running out of the station.

‘Run Nora’, he stressed my name.

The next second, someone shot him on his back, he fell on the ground. I could not lift him up and I was trying to make him wake, ‘Frank, Frank please get up’.

I saw more than ten men with guns surrounded us and approaching us. Seeing them, I was so agitated, ‘Frank, please get up soon. Frank? I am so scared’.

One man pulled off my hair, took me away and another man lifted Frank up.

I was still shouting Frank’s name, but he was almost passed out.

A man came near to me, I saw, what the f**k? it was Michael. Oh s**t, I thought Michael was dead the other day at Jack’s house. But he was alive.

‘You killed my son for this b***h?’, Michael roared at Frank who was in a half-conscious state. Saying this Michael shot me on my right thigh first and I was groaning out of pain.

What the hell? The man who r***d me was Michael’s son and Frank killed him without even a hesitation. Oh my god! I was so flustered hearing this and I lost all hopes.

Suddenly I heard a lot of gunshots and I shut my eyes lying on ground. When I opened my eyes, I saw Michael and every man with Michael were on the ground, dead. What the hell just happened?

It must be Frank’s men I guess, who came and rescued us. I lost a lot of blood and I fainted before even they took me to a hospital or something.
