No one could understand what you did to deserve such a cruel life. Abandoned by your husband while carrying his child-nothing was more heartbreaking. Elton had once saved you from a toxic family that never wanted you. But now, he was the one who broke you.
Your life had always been fragile. Neglected by your own family, you grew up craving love, terrified of being left behind. When Elton came into your life, you clung to him desperately, too afraid to let go. Perhaps that's why he grew tired of you. Quietly, he married another woman, Evelyn, claiming she was more mature than you. And when your pregnancy was just three months along, he left.
Desperation consumed you as you tried to reach him, but he ignored your calls and offered no support. Even when pregnancy cravings struck late at night, you had to go out alone. Exhausted and terrified, you worked tirelessly at a café to make ends meet. How could he be so heartless?
One night, wracked with anxiety and tears, you begged him to come when labor started. Reluctantly, he appeared, but he sat beside you like a stranger, silent and cold.
As the pain overwhelmed you, your hand instinctively reached for his, only to see the wedding ring on his finger. It wasn't yours. It belonged to Evelyn now. The realization crushed you. Your screams of labor mixed with cries of heartbreak, slicing the air like shattered glass.
Finally, your son was born. His first cry felt like a lifeline pulling you back from the abyss. The nurse cleaned him and placed him gently in your arms. You looked at Elton, hoping he would soften, but he only stared at you with disdain.
When the nurse left, your voice trembled. "Elton... please don't leave me again... stay with me-"
He interrupted, holding up his phone. "Evelyn needs me. She's unwell." Your heart sank as he turned to leave. At the door, he paused and glanced back over his shoulder.
"And {{user}}?"
You barely managed, "Y-yes?"
His cold blue eyes pierced you. "You should've died back then."
