A white Mercedes Maybach was blocking the car they were driving. Danny immediately got out to meet the owner of the car.The car owner got out when Danny was about to knock on his windshield."Don't touch my car with your dirty hands," said the man who owned the car in a flat voice.Seeing the male entity getting out of the car in front, the three pairs of eyes inside were rounded. A glimmer of hope to be free from the traps of those men made Amelie smile."Shit!" cursed Javier and Hendy almost simultaneously. Both of them immediately got out to help Danny, who was fighting with Gideon.Unbeknownst to Amelie, that afternoon Gideon came to Demiurge and didn't find her there. He got information from his coworkers that Amelie was taking a break in the employee break room. Julie and Anne also told him that Amelie had been threatened by Javier for slapping him in front of many people. The man felt humiliated and angry.Hearing the story from the girl's coworkers, Gideon said that he would
That morning, the Hayes family was enjoying breakfast. All the family members were there. Their daughter-in-law was no exception."More, dear. You need a lot of energy these days," Elena said after watching Jonathan finish his milk."No, I'm quite full already." Jonathan replied in a flat tone, as flat as his facial expression."Jo..." whispered Theresia, trying to warn him. "You should be grateful for the attention of your beautiful wife."Elena, who loved hearing beautiful compliments from her mother-in-law, blushed. The girl's eyes leered at her husband, hoping that he would stare at her in amazement as Theresia opened her eyes that had been closed, saying that she was a beautiful girl.Unfortunately, Jonathan did not look at her at all. He was more busy shoveling pasta into her mouth. Elena's smile faded instantly. The expression of disappointment was very obvious; the exorbitantly priced makeup did not seem to be able to cover her expression of disappointment in the slightest.Se
"Can't you take it slow?" growled Elena to Lucas, who was doing his job, implanting the spiral IUD."Be patient, ma'am. It won't take long.""Don't try to mess with me!" Elena squeezed the bed handle with all her might.Instantly, Elena's scream almost deafened Lucas.He turned off the examination lamp screnity as soon as he made sure his work this time was done and switched to the last step. The ringing still lodged in his ears. Oh, God, Lucas wished she would just retreat from his presence.Lucas prepares for the ultrasonography to ensure the IUD is in place perfectly and to minimize any untoward events. The demands of the job meant he chose to remain silent and not get carried away with his annoying patient."Excuse me, ma'am. Could you please raise your dress?" Lucas forced the words out of his mouth. What could it be? Because that was what he had to say.Elena cringed at the doctor's words. This was the second time the man had made her feel angry and embarrassed, yet she was unab
Day after day passes by so quickly. As fast as the wind blows away the dust, before she knew it, Amelie was nine months pregnant. The baby she was carrying was getting more and more perfect.Benitto, the owner of the shop, gave Amelie leave while waiting for the day of labor to arrive. But Amelie always refused, saying she was bored if she didn't do anything and just stayed at home.The girl chose to keep working even though Benitto said that Amelie's salary would remain intact if she took time off. But once again, Amelie refused.That night, all the workers at the Demiurge shop were packing up and cleaning the dishes and the floor. Everything was going on, like the previous night. Until their eyes fell on a woman shuffling along.Amelie trudged along with both hands clinging to the benches around her. Sweat poured down her forehead. The girl seemed to be grimacing in pain, almost crying."Amelie, are you okay?" asked Anne, who had just finished mopping the floor.There was no answer.
Gideon decided to enter the infirmary where Amelie was currently lying. The girl looked resigned to the pain that tormented her, which managed to drag her into her current situation of helplessness.The pain Amelie was feeling was evident from the moans and groans that were so natural, without being contrived. The sweat dripping down her face and body further broke the heart of the man, who had always looked at her with admiration. In the labor of the patients that Gideon had handled so far, there was always a man who accompanied the woman, struggling to give birth to the fruit of their love. What Gideon witnessed tonight made him curse the man who had impregnated Amelie."Hang in there, Amelie. You will meet your baby soon." Gideon patted Amelie's shoulder and looked at her with concern. He meant to encourage and comfort the woman, who was risking her life for a baby."This hurts so much... I want to... die," Amelie whimpered with a gasp. It made Gideon open his eyes wide."What are
That afternoon, the Auckland sky was covered in clouds. It wasn't hot, but it wasn't cloudy either. A natural phenomenon that seemed to laugh at the uncertainty Jonathan felt. Parakeets flew back and forth as if dancing in Jonathan's turmoil.Jonathan was standing in his front yard with his eyes gazing up at the sky. His hands were tucked into his pants pockets. Half a year had passed without a single word from Amelie.The same question popped up every day, every week, and also at the turn of the month. With each passing month, Jonathan would ask himself whether Amelie was still holding on to the fruit of their love and find out what stage of development the fetus was in with each passing month. According to his calculations, Amelie should have given birth this month.Jonathan took a deep breath as he thought of all the bad things Amelie could do. She might choose to abort the pregnancy. Jo realized that struggling to conceive and raise a child alone was not an easy matter."Excuse me
Two months had passed since Amelie gave birth. Benitto's leave has run out. Now the mother of one has resumed her work activities at the Demiurge shop.The difference in Amelie's face started to show when she first came back to work; her eye bags looked puffy, and she yawned a lot. It's safe to guess that she was sleep-deprived. Truly, taking care of a baby is exhausting. Nevertheless, all mothers must be happy to be able to take care of the baby they gave birth to.Amelie would often glance at the wall clock whenever she was done with a job. All her colleagues are well aware of this. Occasionally, they whisper to each other about Amelie's behavior.Time seemed to slow down as she worked, leaving her baby behind and entrusting it to Marie and Louise. There was a feeling of longing to go home soon to see Axel. Although she did not forget to pump breast milk to fulfill her son's milk needs while she was at work."Is something bothering you, Amelie?" chided Benitto, who stood watching th
The night was very short for Amelie. The young mother was not yet satisfied with her longing for her baby, but dawn had already arrived to replace the night.I don't know what happened to her that made her feel so sad when she woke up.A peck was placed on the cheek of the tiny baby, who was still asleep in the baby box. Amelie gently rubbed Axel's cheek with a feeling of sadness. As if they were going to be separated for a long time. Because that was the reality she felt. Leaving Axel to work from morning until night was like parting with the little guy for a week.A mother would not easily leave her child, even if she entrusted her child to someone she trusted. Even if that person is the baby's father. It was the same for Amelie. Amelie's mind was always haunted by the image of Axel at home whenever she was at work."I'm leaving," said Amelie, who reluctantly stepped out of the house.Marie, who was very understanding of her granddaughter's movements, immediately walked after Amelie
