My Addiction by Ida Gonzalez (e manga reader TXT) 📖

" And where is she?"

"She's in intermediate therapy," Only Iam talks to me. The other one talks to my boyfriend. Every now and then I look at him and see him looking at me sideways, by God I swear he has the most beautiful eyes in the world. It's the same guy who always goes to the restaurant. I've already seen him several times, apparently, they are friends with my boyfriend.

"What about your fucker of a friend?" I ask again, coming out of my sexual lethargy. He looks at me with wide eyes

“If you mean Dante. He's with her.”

" If he had anything to do with it, I'll kill him. I swear, I'll kill him. I'll kick him in the balls and then I'll kill him again." The sexy lawyer looks at me seriously.

"He had nothing to do with it. He actually rescued her."

"What? What do you mean he rescued her? From what or what? You didn't tell me it was an accident."

"She was kidnapped, Isa,” I dropped like an egg in a frying pan. Jesus. Mary and Joseph. and I'm stunned.

"They kidnapped her? But how? I mean, who wanted to hurt Paula, for God's sake?"

"Yes, and apparently her father had something to do with it."

"God, I can't believe it and you say Dante rescued her, " he nods.

"If it wasn't for him, maybe your friend wouldn't be alive or here in Italy at least," I salivate. This is more serious than I thought.

"My God, this is very serious," I put my hand to my forehead.

"Did you know Paula was pregnant? " Iam asks, staring at me.

"Yes," I answer softly and shed a few tears, fearing the worst.

"Tell me the baby is okay?" he sighs deeply and my chest tightens.

"Let's hope so. He said it was hard to keep him alive," we just have to pray and ask that they both make it out alive.

Paula

I slowly open my eyes. I try to recover from having been asleep for so long or so I think. I don't even know where I am. I try to move but I can't. My hands are connected to some wires. I remember my abduction and I start to despair, fearing the worst when I feel hands holding me and then a beautiful face, that makes me feel calm appears.

"Paula, my love, you have woken up," I hear his voice and I'm still dizzy. My head hurts. My legs hurt, in fact, my whole blessed body hurts. Dante tries to come closer but in the end, he doesn't.

"Da.. Dante. What happened?" I remember my kidnapping. I remember the van they were trying to flee in overturned and then I don't remember anything anymore.

"It's all right, love," That's all he says.

"I am so scared, Dante. What happened? who were those people?"

"Shhhh…. don't talk any more love. Those bastards are dead. They won't hurt you anymore. I won't let anyone hurt you anymore," I start to cry and that's when Dante comes over to me to wrap me in his arms. I cling to him tightly. I never imagined this would happen, let alone that Dante had rescued me from these people.

"You...rescued me?" I ask with a lump in my throat.

"It wasn't just me, love. Many people were looking for you. I wouldn't let anyone hurt you, Paula, let alone take you away from me," I felt my body vibrate.

"I'm sorry, Paula. I was a jerk, love, I know that but I never failed my love. I was never unfaithful to you. I love you and that baby on the way, " I quickly realize when Dante said baby, and I clench my belly in desperation.

"My baby. Dante. my baby! " I said anxiously.

"It's okay, He's fine. He's struggling to survive," he confessed to me and I started to cry.

"I don't want anything to happen to him, Dante. We have to save my baby. He can't die. Those bastards..."

"Shhhh… don't talk, love. Don't say anything, please. I won't leave you alone anymore even if you don't want me by your side. I won't leave you. I will protect you with my life if I have to,” he fixed his eyes on mine and then just wiped my tears with his thumb.

"My love, forgive me. I swear I was never unfaithful to you. I would never do it and more so now that I know you are pregnant, little one and especially because I love you so much Paula and I will love this baby more than my own life. It was all a misunderstanding,” I turn my face away. Don't even think that I have forgotten. I love him. Yes, and too much but I don't forget that I found him with another woman.

"Dante?" I call out to him again and look at his sad face. He sits on the bed next to me taking one of my hands.

"What really happened?” I asked.

"You were kidnapped by a criminal group that trades drugs and women and then sells them to other Latin American countries. We were able to rescue you in time. Did you know your father was involved in any of that?” I deny over and over again.

"I didn't know about my father until a few days ago. When he showed up, warning me to run away," I sigh remembering him.
