"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

"So, Mommy, you and Daddy aren't really back together, is that right? You just did that because you didn't want to see Great Grandma sad. But what about Daddy? Is there still a chance for you two to get back together again?" Venice asked, her eyes wide with curiosity and a hint of hope.

Rina hesitated, unable to find the right words.

She then glanced over at Venedict, who was also looking at her expectantly, waiting for her response.

They were currently in the children's room that Marga had prepared for them.

The room was cozy and decorated with bright colors and toys, making it a perfect haven for the kids.

After Marga left, she had brought the children to their room to explain why she had made her decision.

Victor didn't join them inside the room and instead stayed outside, waiting.

After he had asked for an explanation about why she decided to pretend they were back together, she wasn't sure how to respond.

Believable Pretense
