Chapter 9 - Enzo Finally Told Me Why Eleven Nurses Had Fled His Mansion—The Last One Had Been Murdered for Discovering the Truth About HimMaria had not disappeared.
We found her alive.
She had been held in a private clinic.
She had evidence.
Records.
Photographs.
Videos.
She had discovered the medication plot.
When she tried to expose it, Paolo had her taken.
She gave us everything.
The previous nurses had not failed.
They had been threatened.
Some had received money.
Others disappeared.
The mansion had never been cursed.
It had been controlled.
The staff were terrified.
Enzo apologized to them.
For the first time, he admitted:
“I should have noticed.”
Maria shook her head.
“You trusted the wrong people.”
Enzo looked at me.
“I know how that feels.”
We began rebuilding the household.
New medical staff.
Independent doctors.
Transparent records.
No secrets.
Enzo's physical therapy continued.
He walked farther each day.
I stayed.
Not because I needed the salary anymore.
Because I cared.
That realization frightened me.
So did the fact that he cared about me.
One evening he asked:
“Why didn't you leave?”
I smiled.
“Because you were unbearable.”
He laughed.
Then:
“And?”
I looked at him.
“Because I didn't want you to be alone.”

He went silent.
That was the first time he touched my hand without needing medical help.
