Nightmare

Kelly hoped that Andy would marry her daughter soon, but instead Elizabeth thought of getting away from Andy and moving to another city and living there with her family.

That afternoon after she ate and took the medicine the obstetrician gave her, she tried to sleep because she felt a little dizzy and her body felt a bit weak.

Meanwhile, Kelly sat back on the sofa talking to Elizabeth's grandmother on the phone. They argued about something that is not important to Elizabeth. The beautiful woman's heart is getting sad and upset when she heard her mother's conversation with her grandmother.

"Mom, I ask you and dad to be patient. I am sure Andy will be responsible for Elizabeth, please don't pressure my daughter and I to abort the fetus," Kelly said in a firm tone.

"Kelly, I don't want to know. If in the next few weeks Andy hasn't introduced my granddaughter to his family and there is no clear relationship between them, just abort the pregnancy! I am ashamed to have a granddaughter who is pregnant out of wedlock!"

"How many times have I told you not to force your will on Elizabeth?! After all that child is my granddaughter as well as your great-grandchild, Mom! Don't you feel sorry for Elizabeth and have no love for Elizabeth's future child?!" Kelly exclaimed, her face turning tense.

"Why would I pity your daughter and love her future child?! Even though our family is ordinary and not a noble family, it doesn't mean she can do whatever she wants out there. Their relationship is too free for your daughter to not keep her chastity!" rebuked Elizabeth's Grandma, her voice deafening Kelly.

Hearing her mother's words, Kelly was silent for a moment as she took a deep breath. She leaned her tired and heavy head on the sofa, without Elizabeth knowing Kelly was secretly shedding tears because Paula's words made her sad.

"Have you forgotten that I kicked your sister out of the house because she was pregnant with her friend's husband's child?! Now that Elizabeth is following in her aunt's footsteps, I don't understand why they would easily give up their bodies to handsome, rich, and seductive men!" Paula snorted harshly.

"Enough, Mom! Don't bring up Edna's past with me again! And don't compare my daughter to Edna! Elizabeth and Andy love each other, he is not the type of guy like Anthony who is very good at seducing women! I know very well who Andy is!"

Elizabeth was sick of their endless conversation. She turned to Kelly, then slowly got out of bed, walked over to where Kelly was talking to Paula, and sat down next to her mother.

"Mom, give me the phone," Elizabeth asked quietly, holding out her left hand to Kelly, "I want to talk to grandma."

Kelly turned to Elizabeth, shook her head as she put her index finger to her lips, "No, Eliza."

"Are you talking to Eliza, Kelly?!" asked Paula.

"No," Kelly replied flatly.

"Don't lie, I know you were talking to her!" snapped Paula.

"I didn't talk to her, Mom!" Kelly insisted, Kelly's face turning red with anger at Paula.

"If you don't want to accept me and my child, that is okay! I will be as far away from Chicago as possible so you can't find me and don't keep urging me to abort!" Elizabeth shouted in her mother's ear, she purposely said it loudly and loudly so that her grandmother could hear Elizabeth's words.

"Even if Andy doesn't marry me, I will still keep the growing fetus in my womb!" continued Elizabeth, her eyes wide.

"That's it, My Daughter. Don't be mad at your grandmother, you'd better go to sleep now and put your mind at ease," Kelly advised Elizabeth in soft words.

*****

At Arthur's mansion, Luna deliberately tortured herself by not eating and drinking. Luna's beautiful face which was usually bright, fresh, and radiant in just a few hours turned somber and dark.

She was no longer a woman who was full of enthusiasm and always faced all problems with a positive attitude and mind. The matchmaking arranged by her parents made Luna dissolve in sadness, Luna's heart was shattered into pieces because she had to marry a man she didn't love.

Luna's love story with Robert which had been for five years, ended just like that even though Luna hard to break up her romance with Robert.

While she was sleeping, she had a nightmare that she was delirious in her sleep. Luna looked around the room, there was a cold and cruel-looking man grinning at her. The man quickly approached Luna, dropped her body on the bed, then slapped her cheek repeatedly while cursing Luna.

"Luna! Whose child are you carrying?! Is he mine or another man's?!" asked the tall and stocky man in a booming voice that scared Luna.

"I--I am pregnant with your--your child, Andy," Luna stammered, she closed her eyes, not daring to look at Andy's tormented gaze.

"If it is true that you are pregnant with my child, quickly abort the child! I don't want to have child from you!" Andy's eyes gleamed like knives.

"Wh—why don't you want to have offspring from me??"

"Because I don't love you, Luna! You know very well who the woman I love is! Soon she will give birth and after that I will marry Elizabeth! I don't care if you agree or not!"

Luna opened her eyes slowly, looked at Andy, then sincerely and softly she said to Andy, "But I love you so much, Andy. Can't you open your heart to me and accept this child as yours?"

"I Can't! Don't expect me to open my heart to you and accept that child as mine!" Andy rebuked, he locked Luna's body and squeezed his wife's stomach so that Luna screamed in pain.

"Ah! It hurts!"
