Prisioner In Your Arms

Nicole was thrilled with Sara’s arrival. When she saw her, she couldn’t help but run towards her, and the nanny embraced her happily. Gío and Rina could see the deep love they had for each other. Once they were back at the villa, Nicole showed Sara her room, right across from hers.

“Nanny, I’m just so happy you’re here with me. I imagine you must be tired. I’ll let you rest, and then we can go downstairs for something to eat.”

“Don’t worry about that. I slept for most of the flight, and they fed me well.”

“That’s great! So, tell me how things are in the United States.”

“Oh, dear, you won’t like what I’m about to tell you. Things are very bad. Sondra has poisoned everyone’s minds. She made them believe that you ran off with another man, supposedly an ex-boyfriend of yours. I didn’t buy that story.”

“I imagine Bruno believed it, though.”

“Mr. Bruno has been searching for you all this time. Not knowing about you is driving him crazy. Every day, when he comes home from the office, he locks himself in his office. The afternoon slips away as he drinks. He hardly eats, and he looks very worn out.”

“I can’t say I’m glad that he’s doing poorly, but I doubt his state has anything to do with love for me. It’s more likely that he no longer has someone to humiliate.”

“Sondra goes to see him every day, and he kicks her out in the worst way possible. But she’s very persistent. I doubt she’ll be able to win him over. Mr. Bruno is determined to find you, and I’m scared to think about what he’ll do to you if he succeeds.”

“For a moment, I thought I wouldn’t be able to escape, nanny. I imagine he had you closely watched.”

“That’s right. I was under constant surveillance. They only left me alone inside the mansion. Mr. Gío contacted my friend Lila, and she delivered your letter to me. Then she helped me escape. She drove me away in her delivery van. God, I’m still nervous about it.”

Nicole approached and hugged her. Meanwhile, Bruno couldn’t believe that it had happened again. They had outsmarted his guards. When they tried to interrogate Mrs. Lila, she kicked them out of her shop. She told them that she didn’t know what was going on, and they had no reason to be there.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

The next morning, Nicole had an appointment to monitor the baby’s condition. It was getting close to the time of birth.

Rina and Gío wanted to accompany her, but she insisted that this time it should be her nanny who went with her. The soon-to-be grandparents agreed, not wanting to appear selfish in their daughter’s eyes.

They always accompanied her when she went out, with two security vans and a bodyguard accompanying her into the clinic while waiting outside the examination room.

Sara cried with joy when she saw the baby’s images on the ultrasound and heard the sound of its tiny heartbeat. The doctor stepped out for a moment to print the images, and a nurse came in to help Nicole clean off the gel that the doctor had applied to her belly. Suddenly, Nicole felt a cloth being placed over her mouth, and a strong smell filled the air. She tried to defend herself, but darkness overwhelmed her.

Later, she woke up feeling completely disoriented. She tried to move but was struck by a terrible headache. She had no idea where she was and could only think that Bruno had found her. She heard someone mentioning her name, and she recognized it as her nanny’s voice.

“You’ve finally awakened. I was very worried, my dear.”

“What happened, nanny?”

“I don’t know. Suddenly, I felt my mouth being covered, and then I lost consciousness. I woke up a while ago.”

Nicole instinctively touched her belly and felt a strong movement immediately. It was as if the baby sensed that she was worried about him, and she felt relieved knowing that he was okay.

She heard a door opening and thought that Bruno was about to enter. But when she turned, she was surprised to see the person she least expected standing in front of her.

She couldn’t understand what was happening. Leandro De Santos was there with a big smile on his face. He asked Sara to leave them alone for a moment, and although she hesitated, a bodyguard escorted her outside.

“Hello, Nicole. It’s good that you’ve woken up,” Leandro said.

“What am I doing here? What’s going on?” Nicole asked.

“You’re back in New York,” he replied.

“Did Bruno ask you to bring me here?”

“No, Bruno doesn’t know and won’t know. From now on, you will live here with me. This is my house, which is now yours. Your sister has informed me about your preferences, and as you can see, the bedroom is decorated the way you like it. I know your nanny is important to you, that’s why I brought her with you. Once you accept me into your life, you will be my wife. We will raise your child together, and I will do everything in my power to make you love me as much as I love you.”

“You’re deranged. I barely know you. Please, let me go,” Nicole pleaded.

Nicole was very afraid. This man was completely insane. She paid attention to her surroundings and realized it was an exact replica of her bedroom at her parents’ house. Her sister had done it again. She was ensuring that harm would come to her.

“I have been in love with you for many years. You never noticed me, but I watched you all the time at the parties organized by your family. Sondra told me about the kind of relationship you have with Bruno. He doesn’t love you. He has made you suffer too much. I know I will be able to erase all that suffering,” Leandro declared.

Nicole thought that this man could be dangerous. She decided to play along, fearing that he might harm her or her child. At the first opportunity, she would escape. At least she had her nanny by her side, which made her feel somewhat safer. Her sister had gone too far by supporting this man. He was capable of anything to get rid of her.

When Leandro found out through Shelsy that Nicole had left Bruno, he immediately contacted Sondra to gather information. He was determined to find her and bring her to his side. He believed that over time, he could make her love him. His father had told him that she was in Australia. Mr. Smith, a friend of his father and Gío Rossano, had given him that information.

Sergio was very upset, and Leandro didn’t know the true story of his father’s relationship with Rina. He knew his father kept her confined in a psychiatric hospital, claiming she was a dangerous woman. Now he had learned that she had escaped and was under Gío’s protection.

Sergio insisted on helping Leandro bring Nicole to him. He didn’t know what his father was planning, but he saw the benefit in assisting Leandro. All he wanted was to have Nicole by his side. His relationship with his father wasn’t very good. Since he married Deborah, they had grown apart. Sergio believed that she was a demon disguised as a woman. Leandro was only six years old when his father married her, and his father would act differently when she was around. As soon as Leandro was old enough, he moved into his own house. He worked with his father but didn’t visit his father’s house, nor did his father visit his. They would occasionally go out for a meal or a drink, but without Deborah.

As for how they had managed to track Nicole’s movements, one of Rossano’s bodyguards had agreed to provide them with information.

Leandro had loved Nicole for so many years. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, and she had a heart of gold. She had supported many orphanages, and he believed she would be the perfect wife.

When he found out she was pregnant, he decided he wanted her child as his own. He knew she would visit the clinic accompanied by her nanny. On that day, only his contact person entered with them, but stayed outside the doctor’s office.

They paid off a nurse to sedate them and enable their abduction. They transported them on stretchers to the emergency area and then transferred them by ambulance to a nearby house. From there, they transferred them to a van to take them to the airport.

Almost a month had passed since Nicole had been at Leandro’s house. Every day he would bring her a large bouquet of red roses. Nicole imagined that Sondra had told him they were her favorite. He seemed to be a calm person. He would spend some time with her and then leave. He had brought her several magazines to choose the baby’s room decor. He was determined to create a special space that would make the baby feel comfortable and protected.

Nicole was worried because the baby could be born at any moment. That day, he asked her to come down for dinner with him. Sara insisted that she shouldn’t, but Nicole agreed. It was better not to contradict him.

He sent her a beautiful maternity dress. It was a long ivory dress. She got ready and went down to have dinner with him. When she did, she was surprised. There was a path of candles leading from the door to a small gazebo in the middle of the garden. On the table, there was a beautiful bouquet of red roses.

As Leandro saw her arrival, he stood up and pulled out her chair. He was so different from Bruno, who never missed an opportunity to humiliate her. To be honest, Leandro was an attractive man. He was tall with a good physique, and his eyes were a light brown color.

A neatly trimmed beard made him look handsome. Nicole became concerned when she noticed where her thoughts were going. Perhaps she was developing something like Stockholm Syndrome. The sound of Leandro’s seductive voice snapped her out of her thoughts.
