"You already know, Rina," Victor's voice cut through the air like a sharp blade, laced with a cruel indifference that sent shivers down my spine, 
"I won't love you, no matter what you do. No matter how many times you beg, nothing will happen!
You knew from the beginning that Helena was the girl I loved!! "

His words, laced with disdain, were like a devastating blow to my heart. 

Each syllable was a reminder of the love I had lost, a love that had once burned brightly but was now extinguished, replaced by an icy void.

Victor continued, his tone unrelenting,

 "The only reason I married you is because that was my grandmother's request" 

"I'll take care of giving you money, no matter how much, but please don't bother me and Helena anymore," he added. 

Tears streamed down my cheeks, a torrent of pain and despair that I could no longer contain. 

The dream I had nurtured, the hope that our love could be rekindled, crumbled before my eyes.

 The reality was far more brutal than any nightmare I had ever imagined.

I had once planned to surprise him, to share the joyous news that I was pregnant with our child. 

 But now, it seemed that he didn't care for me, and my hopes for our unborn baby were shattered. What place did our child have in a world where its father had rejected it before it even had a chance to exist?

As Victor's words hung in the air, a chilling silence descended upon the room, broken only by the steady rhythm of my heartache.

 I was left with the agonizing realization that the love I had cherished was nothing but a cruel illusion, a marriage that had led me astray in the vast desert of my broken dreams.

Pregnant With His Child

"Huy, what's going on in your mind?" Denise inquired, her tone prompting me to refocus.

I jolted back to attention, noticing the collective gaze directed my way.

We were seated in the dining area, indulging in the delectable dishes meticulously prepared by Denise.

It dawned on me that I had inadvertently drifted into a momentary daze.

"I thought Venedict was the one who got into a fight. Why do you appear so worn out?" Jeffrey questioned, his words punctuated by the rhythmic sounds of him chewing his food.

"Wow, this food is really delicious! Did you really cook this, Denise? Well, you can already get married!" Jeffrey exclaimed after tasting Denise's dish.

"I can't get married yet because the one I'll marry still isn't ready," Denise subtly hinted at Jeffrey. I knew he had been her crush for a long time, but she never dared to confess her feelings to my scumbag brother.

"That guy must be blind and an idiot!" Jeffrey remarked.
