Three months into my pregnancy, Zoran publicly pointed at my belly and told me to get rid of the baby.
I held back tears as I tried to coax him home, but he shoved me away.
He looked down at me with cold arrogance:
"Felicity, didn't you plan to climb into my bed and get pregnant with my child in exchange for a place to stay?"
"You are not qualified to give birth to my child."
I stood up, my stomach cramping painfully.
Zoran kissed the woman in his arms shamelessly, putting on a live sex show.
In the dim private room, everyone was waiting to see me humiliated.

Three Months Pregnant, Boyfriend Tells Me to Abort

"Your father was kind-hearted. He thought marrying her would allow her to fully devote herself to you. But in reality, she was secretly having an affair and embezzling funds. That's why she's been pushing you to seek protection from the Gevano family all these years."


"Not a single penny of the money you brought back was used to save your father."

The sheer volume of information threatened to overwhelm me.

I ran into his arms, sobbing. The long-missed warmth left me speechless with tears.


Ten years of enduring cold stares and suffering came rushing back.
