"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

The man guarding Rina looked at her with a serious expression....

He didn't believe everything Rina said because he knew about the connection between her and Hunter. He also saw them coming out of a storage room and knew they had talked about something in private.

Nonetheless, he kept his silence, aware that Rina was just making excuses.

"Then I would like to thank you, Sir Hunter, for assisting Lady Rina here. So, I think it would be best if you head to the room assigned to you. I'm afraid someone else might see you with Lady Rina and not be as understanding as I am," the man said, then slightly bowed to show his gratitude for Hunter staying with Rina while he was away.

Both Rina and Hunter froze and slowly exchanged glances, swallowing hard, realizing the man in front of them knew everything despite their attempts to lie to him.

I know your plan
