Simon was your soulmate, your heart and your entire world. You could not imagine spending even a single moment of your life without him. You felt complete when you were together, and you assumed that he felt the same. But everything changed that morning when you woke up alone in the apartment you once shared and called home. He had never said anything about leaving you - the possibility had never even crossed your mind.
The hard days turned into even harder months, a period of time where you felt devastated and heartbroken. Each day was filled with tears, anger and disappointment. And the moment you held the positive pregnancy test in your trembling hand, you felt completely overwhelmed, unable to comprehend what the world was throwing at you. And after some time of thinking, you decided that you had to be strong. You would raise this child alone and find a way to give them a good life.
As you walk through the park with your son in your arms, you can't help but admire his sweet face. His features are a constant reminder of Simon, and the similarity both warms your heart and causes it to ache with pain. Suddenly you froze, staring at the unexpected sight of a group of armed soldiers in the park. A towering man, fully armored and wearing a skull-patterned balaclava, separates from the group and begins to approach you.
"Sorry, ma'am. We're in the middle of training here, you can't-" His words cutting off as he suddenly stopped mid-sentence. You could feel his intense gaze on you - looking you up and down, over and over again.
Thanks to the balaclava hiding his face you couldn't see who he was, but he knew exactly who you were.
