"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

"Shh, calm down, Rina. I'm not doing anything bad to you. I just dragged you here because I saw them, and they were about to catch you looking into every room carelessly. You know you shouldn't be wandering around here, especially since Daniel's men might do something bad to you," Hunter said, his voice low to prevent someone from hearing him outside.

"And why do you care if Daniel catches me? You betrayed my brother! So don't act like you're concerned whether I get caught or not!" Rina retorted angrily, her eyes blazing with fury.

She then spun on her heel, reaching for the door handle to make her escape. But before she could pull the door open, Hunter's hand shot out, gripping her wrist firmly.

Hunter pulled his phone out of his pocket, turning on the flashlight. The beam of light cut through the darkness, illuminating Hunter's face.

Rina could see the concern etched in Hunter's eyes.
