Cynthia’s POV

I dragged out my box, the one I knew was not too big for me, since I was already exhausted from crying.

‎I also didn't want to stress too much for the sake of my baby.

‎I began packing my clothes and stuffing them inside.

‎A few minutes later, I was done packing and dragged it out with me to the living room.

‎As I descended down the stairs, my eyes lingered on his back where he sat on the sofa, a sofa that was once mine, just a few minutes back—the couch I used to lie in his arms while we watched a program and the news together..

‎A fresh pool of tears brimmed in my eyes.

‎This was someone I had lived the past five years of my life with. Today, without batting an eye, he gave me divorce papers with no regrets.

‎I came down, my fingers clenching hard and digging into my palm.

‎"Are you sure you don't need this money?" His voice echoed as I passed him by.

‎Without a glance, I walked to the door, holding tight to my box, held the doorknob, and finally, I was out of the place I never thought I'd leave someday—it broke my heart into countless pieces.

‎It felt like a dream to me, but this was a reality I must accept now. He made up his mind and he wouldn't accept my plea.

‎My heart constricted as my eyes went round the building, taking it in for the last time.

‎I bit on my lower lip, my chest heavy as I turned around, walking away from the place I once called home, walking away from the man I once loved with every fiber of my being, the father of my baby.

‎Tears I had been holding streamed down effortlessly.

‎When I was completely out of the estate, I felt a bit exhausted as I squatted beside my box.

‎With my mind, a jumbled mess, where was I to start from? How do I raise a baby alone? Daniel had been looking forward to us having a baby for the past five years of our lives, and when the baby came, he threw us out.

‎Just then, my phone started ringing. I looked at the screen and it was no other than Hailey, my office friend.

‎Another bundle of pain pierced through my heart, I was going to miss her, Hailey was a very lovely girl and loyal.

‎Even though my marriage to Daniel was never public, I trusted her so much to let her know. She was my closest.

‎"Hi Cyn, your leave is over today, you're ready for work tomorrow right?" Her voice bellowed from the other end.

‎My bones weakened at the sound of her voice. I wish I could see her one more time, I wish I were able to save my marriage.

‎"I wouldn't be coming anymore Hai, you might never see me again. Take care of yourself."

‎She was quiet for some time.

‎"I can't believe this Cyn, so it's true."

‎My two brows raised. "What's true?"

‎"Cyn I didn't believe it at first, but if this is really true, then Mr CEO is cruel."

‎"Tell me Hai, what's true, what did you hear?!" I questioned, getting impatient now

‎"This morning, rumors have been circulating at the office," she muttered, her voice getting low now, scared to break my heart or something, but if only she knew I was already broken.

‎"I think that's why Mr CEO stopped you from coming to work instead of just clearing the rumor."

‎I was getting confused now, with my heart beating faster and out of rhythm, so something actually happened that led to this, but what the h!ll was it?!

‎"Hai please, what was the rumor about? This is not the right time to stall, just tell me."

‎"Cyn.." She hesitated.

‎"There had been rumors going around that the CEO's ex-fiancé appeared and they are set to get married few weeks to come."

‎The phone fell out of my hand as I shook vigorously. So it was another woman, Daniel divorced me for another woman. My lips shook from the cold I suddenly felt in my body.

‎I felt I was dead, my blood seemed to be drying up, and my head spun.

‎ "Cyn,"

‎"Cyn, Cyn please, are you there!"

‎"Cyn please! Put yourself together, for the sake of your baby!"

‎Just then, my eyes flipped open completely, yes my baby.

‎"Cyn are you there?"

‎"Hai.. I.. I'm fine." I muttered, my voice hoarse.

‎"Those are just rumors as you know, just wanted to tell you the possibilities of why Mr CEO didn't want you to come to work anymore." She stuttered.

‎"Looking at the positive side, he just didn't want you to hear those rumors." She added.

‎I scoffed painfully, if only she knew.

‎"He divorced me, Hailey."

‎I could hear her sharp gasp from the other end.

‎"Why?!! Does that mean none of that was a rumor, he left you to marry his ex?!" She spoke, extremely overwhelmed.

‎Fresh tears brimmed in my eyes.

‎ Earlier when I didn't know the cause of our divorce, the pain wasn't this deep, now I felt my heart ripping off my chest. I cried bitterly.

‎"I'm truly sorry, I'm so sorry Cyn, you don't deserve any of this."

‎I gasped for breath as I envisioned Daniel in the hands of another woman, the woman he divorced me for.

‎"Where are you now?" Hailey's voice echoed.

‎I looked down at my red palm, then looked around me, I was just a few meters away from my estate, except now it was no longer mine.

‎"Alright, just hold on. I'm coming."

‎With that, she hung up.

‎I wiped my face, I couldn't think of where to rest my head for the night. Maybe I could spend a night at Hailey's place then find my way tomorrow.

‎Just then, someone appeared in front of me, and in a split second, all I could see was a blurred image of people. I struggled to breathe, with a hand strongly pressed on my nose.

‎Was I being kidnapped? I struggled to wiggle free, but the drugs were already getting dissolved in my blood— within that second, I lost consciousness.
