Chapter 47: Nina

I woke up to the sound of Michael sobbing on my shoulder. I squinted my eyes at the sudden light and forcefully closed them back while listening to him sobbing on my hand.

I try to reach out and touch him but my hands seem too heavy for me to carry. If only I could tell him that I'm awake. That he doesn't need to cry anymore.

“Tesoro, I love you so much. And I will do anything for you. I wish all my money could bring you back to me, I would have done it for you because I love you ” He whispered to me.

I wanted to tell him that I love him too but my throat was so dry that no sound came out of it. It looks like I haven't been using it for days.

What happened to me? Where am I? Why is Michael crying?”

The sound of Michael's phone ringing brought me out of my thoughts as I felt him perk me on my forehead before he walked out. I tried to call out to him but no sound was coming out of my mouth. I slumped dejectedly on the bed as the tears flowed freely down my face.
