Like, just even from the first message I remember he just had that personality. You know, even in the first messages, he knew how to make a girl laugh. He was very charming.
On discovering that she was pregnant but also that her cancer had come back: “We’d already broken up and I discovered I was pregnant. It was a bittersweet moment I would say. On the day Nicola’s son was born, the nurse in the hospital overheard how he’d spoken to her and put him out of the building: “Yeah, she overheard him. It was just so cruel. The things he was saying… I definitely felt the pain when he said to me that I just came here to watch you bleed to death.
“It was like an empty apartment when you walked in, with the basics. I think in his mind he thought this is the only way I can get her back, that if I take everything, she’ll have to come and live with me”. How Nicola feels now: “I don’t really feel anything for Paul. To me he’d be a fool I’d he ever tried to come back into my life. At the end of the day, he can’t hide behind his badge no more. People do know who he is now. I’m not afraid of Paul”.
