Chapter 3 The pills were different from what I usually took .
Although I studied obstetrics , I could still tell the difference .
Unless I was still groggy from sleep , I wouldnt have mixed them up .
The bottle was on the bedside table .
Usually , no one else but Antonio would enter my room .
The answer was clear .
My hand holding the pills started shaking uncontrollably .
In the end , I collapsed to the floor with a thud .
Its impossible … I desperately tried to comfort myself , trying to believe in Antonio .
After all , we had truly been in love for so many years .
At our best , hed protected me from a car accident , shielding me with his body just to keep me safe .
He said , Grace , you mean more to me than anything , even more than myself .
I cant lose you .
That day , I cried until I could barely breathe , vowing to love him forever .
Today , I was crying just as hard , but now I was searching for a reason to still believe in him .
Antonio .
15 : 380 Chapter 3 Please , dont let it be you ….
It wasnt until the third day that I finally asked Chloe .
Grace , this is hormone medication .
You cant just take it while pregnant .
It could cause birth defects .
I froze completely , unable to hear anything else .
The guilt in Antonios eyes when he left that day .
I finally understood .
My last bit of hope for Antonio shattered completely .
Years of love .
It couldnt withstand the pressure anymore .
It collapsed , once and for all .
Antonio didnt come back on the third day .
I sat on the couch in a daze , staring at nothing as the day faded into night , then back into another day .

The phone kept buzzing non stop .
But I didnt answer .
Eventually , it ran out of battery and shut off , leaving me in complete silence .
The eighth was my birthday .
I sat outside the operating room and called Antonio .
Grace ? Youre finally calling me back ? Are you still mad ? Ive been so busy .
I couldnt get away .
Im doing this for the triple pay ! Cant you understand that ? You keep ignoring my calls and messages .
What do you want me to do ? If you cant handle it .
then just divorce me already .
Its not like I can keep putting up with this ! His tone was as harsh as ever by the end .
I pretended not to hear it .
With calm and detachment , I said .
Antonio , do you remember todays my birthday ? There was a pause , no answer .
I didnt care .
I wiped my tears and continued .
Its fine if you forgot .
You dont ever need to remember again .
Antonio , when you get back , lets get a divorce .
Silence stretched on from the other side , so long I thought he had hung up .
Then his voice finally came through .
Grace , are you using divorce as a way to force me to come back ? Why do you have to be so extreme ? Why cant you just understand ? Do you think this will make me cave ? I hate when you play these games ! Grace , Ill come back when you learn how to act right ! I forced a smile .
I stared blankly at the chat history and photos on my phone .
It was Sarahs second account , sending me messages over these past few days .
Chapter 1 From their first meeting to their recent conversations , I read it all .
In four years , nine out of ten overtime nights had been spent with Sarah .
Meanwhile .
I was still cooking meals for him , waiting for him home late .
to come Even though Id seen the marks on his neck , I had convinced myself they were just mosquito bites .
I had trusted him completely .
But he had betrayed me .
Antonio .
How was this fair to me ? If you didnt love me anymore , why couldnt you just let me go ? Antonio , Im not joking .
When you come back , lets get a divorce .
At that moment , a nurse came out holding a clipboard , calling out .
Her voice echoed through the phone .
Grace ? Is Grace here ? Your abortion procedure is up next .
An abortion ? Grace , what are you doing ? Didnt I tell you Id be back once I finished ? You cant seriously be using this as an excuse ! Antonios voice crackled through the phone .
Youve wanted this child for so long , and now youre going to get rid of him ? Do you think its funny , trying to pressure me into coming back by using the baby ? I didnt respond .
I just hung up and followed the nurse into the operating room .
When I woke up , there was a dull ache in my lower abdomen .
Chloe sat by my bedside , her face filled with concern .
Grace , youre awake , she said softly .
I managed a faint smile , but the emptiness I felt inside was too much to ignore .
This child was everything I had hoped for .
