Free again!

The blood runs from my nose, I feel too weak and powerless, but as I can I go looking for Carlos, I don't want him to go after Christopher, he could hurt him and I got away from him once, I don't want to do it once anymore second.

“Carlos, I don't feel well” after shooting Christopher, he approaches me, takes me in his arms and hugs me hard, his arms are soft and warm, the daylight bothers my eyes, but I have never felt so happy To be able to see her, I take refuge in Carlos's arms, I lose all sound around me, I can only take refuge in the beating of his heart, I can barely feel how his arms caress my back and his head is on mine.

To tell the truth, I thought this moment would never come, his arms were my best refuge, feeling him close to me made me feel like the luckiest woman in the world.

There were only a few minutes left before a lot of policemen were invading the warehouse, a medical staff was also approaching, who separated me from the arms of my love, and they took me to an ambulance, behind me I saw how they brought Serena on a stretcher, she held out the hope that they could do something for her, even though at the moment her options for living were limited.

It looked like a scene from a movie, many agents were looking for Christopher, they were also looking for more things than in the kidnapping scene, leaving the warehouse, the paramedics take me to the ambulance, I'm on a stretcher, I look up at the sky and I thank for the opportunity to see him again, to be alive and not to have died in that horrible and dark place, I know that I had a long recovery process ahead of me, but I had to get through it. Carlos never stopped letting go of my hand, he looked at me enthralled, he kept telling me how much he missed me and of course he loved me, his words were encouragement to my wounded heart and body.

“Amanda, the police inform me that Cristopher escaped, but they will have all their staff to look for him” Carlos looks at me frustrated, at that moment I felt guilty, because I was the one who didn't allow him to persecute him, but that was not his job, It belonged to the police, I didn't want to lose it.

“Well, let the police take care of it. Do you know that he happened with Serena?”

“The first ambulance took her to the emergency room, now you continue, they're going to take you to a hospital, you need urgent attention, I'll go with you” Carlos has the most loving look I've ever seen, he was the most handsome man

“Thanks my love!” telling him my love moved my guts, my savior, my hero was in front of my eyes, life would not reach me to thank him.

An ambulance took me to the most prestigious hospital in the city, there my children were already waiting for me, and my father, I am walking down the hospital corridor towards the emergency room and all the eyes of the media are on me, taking photos, asking questions, I just tried to find the ones that interested me, the eyes of my loved ones.

My heart fills with joy when they are already at the end of the long corridor, they are Camille and Santiago and of course my father, who shows his advanced poor health.

“Mommy! Mommy! what a blessing, we never lost hope” my children cried and hugged me, “Camille did not stop crying, she was the most affected by the situation.

“I missed you; I swear I missed you mom, there wasn't a single night that I didn't stop thinking about you”.

“Not even me in you precious, I love you very much” Some doctors take me away from them and take me to a room where they first give me a warm water shower, I had not taken one for more than two months, my body was full of infections, and my hair was missing, so in the first place I needed that.

For that day they did not let me see my family and Carlos anymore, however, they had sent me a telephone number to be in contact with them, so that strengthened me when it came time to want to talk, I did not want to leave their side again , especially Carlos, I wanted to talk to him again, to know how everything happened, how he located me, how he managed to save me.

I also wanted to know about Lucia, I could never erase her phone number from my memory, so I was intending to call her, although my nerves were playing a trick on me, she had to be aware of everything, possibly Christopher would go to her, look for refuge and their help, should be warned.

I dial his phone and he doesn't even wait for it to ring twice when he answers, I think about it again to talk, but it's necessary.

“Hello who speaks? “Lucia’s voice seems anxious.

“Hello Lucia, it's me, Amanda” when I told her my name, a livid silence settled on the call, I knew she was on the other end of the line because I could hear her heavy breathing. Lucy, are you okay?

“A..Amanda! Thank goodness, how are you? I was just watching the media what happened, I can't believe it.”

“I am in terms, the one who did not have the same luck is Serena, she is very seriously injured, she may die.”

“What? She was with you?! I'm in shock, really Amanda, I don't know what to tell you, I don't even know what to do, I'm biting my nails.” Lucia was too nervous; she could tell it in her voice.

“Christopher is free, I can only tell you to be careful, I'm almost sure that he will go directly to look for you, I know him” I tell him as a warning, this would not end, until that evil man appeared, I still feel too weak, but emotionally I feel stronger than ever, my body will heal one day, but my heart is totally convinced that there are better things to come and everything will be back in its place”.

“Amanda, I am very afraid, and to think that for a moment I fainted and believed that he was changing and that he only loved me” Lucia begins to cry, she could feel it through the phone, her voice was broken, it was a cry of frustration, of anguish.

“I imagine how you might be feeling right now, now I can't talk to you anymore, I'm very weak, you have no idea the state I'm in, but I just want to ask you to take care of yourself, he's evil, please!”

“Amanda, forgive me, please forgive me for all the damage I've done to you, for all the pain I've caused you, if I just... “Lucia can't stop crying” I'm sorry” after that, hang up the call.

I feel my heart racing, she was partly right, because of her many bad things happened in my life, but she was also the victim of a man who pretended that he loved her or simply did not know how to love her, he was an evil man, but precisely neither Lucia nor I knew it, our only mistake was having fallen in love.
