Chapter 7

Penulis: Against the Flow
I didn't respond.

Picking up the bag I'd left in the living room the day before, I walked straight into the nursery, paying no mind to Mike trailing behind me like a lost shadow.

Inside the room I'd carefully decorated, I placed a black box onto the crib.

Mike followed closely, his expression lighting up with cautious hope as he looked around.

"Ava, where's the baby?" he asked, his voice trembling with anticipation.

I gestured toward the black box on the crib. "This is our child."

His face went pale in an instant, all traces of joy draining away.

Without acknowledging his visible panic, I picked up the box and placed it in his hands. "As the father, shouldn't you hold him?"

His hands shook uncontrollably, and the box slipped from his grip, crashing to the floor. The remains of our unborn child spilled out onto the ground.

Mike staggered backward, frozen in shock. He crouched down, clutching his head, his whole body trembling. Tears splattered onto the floor as he let out a g

  • Valentine Disappointment   Chapter 9

    Mike was detained at the police station for three days.When the orphanage director heard about the incident, he sent someone over to check on me. As the man stood at my door, something about him seemed familiar. I studied him for a moment before a spark of recognition lit up in my mind."Not long ago, did you happen to save someone on the roadside?"He gave me a kind smile, his eyes filled with a touch of concern. "Finally, you remember. Also, the last time you fainted in front of the bridal shop, I was the one who took you to the hospital.""So, every time we meet, it seems to be during some mishap. I guess that's a rather unusual kind of fate," I said with a light laugh, feeling the weight of recent days begin to lift.He cleared his throat and smiled again. "How about we honor this unusual fate with a meal?"I didn't hesitate to agree.As we grew more familiar, I learned his name was Finn Bolton. He was the orphanage director's son and the person in charge of the orphanage

  • Valentine Disappointment   Chapter 8

    Before boarding the plane, I sent a message to my parents.But no reply came.Ever since I got pregnant, they had been urging me to marry Mike.He always had endless work, and the wedding plans were delayed again and again, eventually reduced to a hastily arranged engagement banquet.Because of this, my parents disapproved of my relationship with him.My father had told me to leave Mike and raise the child on my own.But I had always believed there was love between us.After I became pregnant, I never returned home.I had planned to go back after the baby was born.But things didn't turn out that way.…The plane landed quickly, and with it, my emotions grew more chaotic.Following the stream of passengers, I walked toward the exit.There, in the most prominent spot, I saw my parents, anxiously scanning the crowd.When our eyes met, my vision blurred with tears."My poor baby girl, how you've suffered," my father said, standing to the side, his expression betraying a pai

    "What did you say?"Mike almost dropped his phone, staring at me in bewilderment.On the way home, he tried to comfort me. "Ava, this is all a misunderstanding. I'll explain it to them. Don't worry."I didn't respond, my emotions as still as a frozen lake.This matter had nothing to do with me, after all. If anyone were innocent here, it was me. Yet, I couldn't have anticipated how brazen Lucy's family would be.Seven or eight people crowded at the entrance of the house, shouting loudly and demanding an explanation.As we approached, someone shoved me hard, sending me sprawling onto the ground.Mike panicked instantly, forcing his way through the chaos to help me up. "Ava! Stop it, all of you!"But Lucy's family wasn't about to back down. They surrounded me, their anger boiling over into violence.In the chaos, punches and kicks landed on me, one after another. Someone even took advantage of the moment to tear at my clothes.Their curses echoed in my ears."Mike, my sister L

    When I regained consciousness, the world around me was awash in sterile white.Mike sat at the edge of my hospital bed, his eyes bloodshot, his voice hoarse with a desperation he couldn't hide."Ava, the doctor just told me you lost the baby. That can't be true, right? You just had a check-up. They said our baby was perfectly healthy."I froze, his words pulling at a deep wound I hadn't dared to acknowledge. The thought of my child clawed its way back into my mind, and I closed my eyes, shutting out the unbearable ache."It's true. The baby's gone."His breath hitched, his voice cracking under the weight of denial. "No... no, that's impossible! The baby can't be gone! We just bought toys for him, remember? How could this happen?"I stared at him, the absurdity of his anguish sharpening the edge of my pain into something cold and bitter."The baby died the day we were supposed to take wedding photos. Do you remember? You left me alone that day."He froze. I didn't want to say

    I raised my voice in defiance. "She ran off on her own! What does that have to do with me? Why should I apologize?"Mike didn't bother to acknowledge my words. Instead, he yanked me toward the door. The sharp pain in my abdomen forced me to clutch at it, and the flood of frustration and despair that had been simmering within finally broke free.We had barely stepped outside when I saw Lucy sprawled in the middle of the road. Her eyes were red-rimmed, brimming with a pitiable sadness as she gazed at Mike.Without hesitation, he rushed to her, cradling her as though she were some fragile treasure.Then he turned to me, his expression dark and unforgiving. "Apologize."I stared at him in disbelief, unable to comprehend the absurdity of it.Lucy leaned against him, her tears shimmering but not falling. "Mike, please don't. I'm fine. Really."His anger flared, and before I could react, he kicked me hard in the stomach."Are you mute? If you don't apologize to Lucy today, this isn'
