Chapter 8

Author: richer
Lilith had already arranged a private flight to the United States.

By the time I arrived at the airport, the sky was beginning to darken.

I didn’t tell anyone where I was going.

Only Lilith knew.

I deleted my old phone number.

I changed my contact information.

I left behind almost everything that connected me to the woman I had once been.

When the plane finally took off, I rested my forehead against the cold window.

The gray-blue Mediterranean slowly disappeared beneath the clouds.

I stared at i

    He didn’t move.He looked up at me, his eyes bloodshot.“Monica, I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have cheated on you. I shouldn’t have told Alice our secrets. And I shouldn’t have abandoned you when you needed me most. Just give me a chance to make it up to you… You can hit me, curse at me, make me do whatever you want. I’ll do anything…”I walked over to him and crouched down.Gently, I closed the box in his palm and pushed it back toward him.“Edward, I don’t hate you anymore,” I said. “I really don’t. I’ve thought about a lot over these past two years. Hating someone is exhausting. I don’t want to waste the rest of my life hating you.”His lips trembled.“Then…”“But I don’t love you anymore, either.”I looked him straight in the eyes and spoke each word clearly.“You used up every bit of love I had for you. .”Edward grabbed my wrist, his grip painfully tight.“I’m not leaving… I can wait. I’ll wait as long as it takes…”I slowly pulled my hand free, stood up, and took a step back.

    I opened a flower shop in the outskirts of New York.The shop was small, but business was good. The neighbors loved coming by to buy my flowers.Lilith came to visit me once, and as she was leaving, she held my hand and said, “Monica, you look so much more at ease than you used to.”I smiled but said nothing.It was true. I hadn’t woken up in a panic in the middle of the night for a long time. I hadn’t dreamed about Edward in a long time, either.That afternoon, I was changing the water for a bouquet of white lilies when the bell above the door rang. Without looking up, I said, “Welcome. What would you like to buy?”There were no footsteps. No one said a word.Confused, I looked up and froze.Edward was standing in the doorway.He had lost a great deal of weight. His cheekbones jutted sharply from his gaunt face, his eye sockets were sunken, and he was wearing a gray overcoat with a wrinkled collar.He was clutching something in his hand so tightly that his knuckles had gone white.“Mo

    Edward had only one thought in his mind.He had to get Monica back.He had to tell her that she was the only woman he had ever loved.On the way, he called his underboss to ask about Monica’s whereabouts.The underboss hesitated before answering.“Don, the Donna left Sicily last night.”“I called you, but Miss Alice answered. She said you already knew and told me not to worry about it.”Edward felt as if he had stopped breathing.Monica had left?How could she bear to leave him?How could she leave without even caring about their child?The underboss hesitated again.“There’s something else you should probably know.”“The Donna lost the baby because Lorenzo and his men cornered her and beat her.”Edward couldn’t believe what he had heard.He asked again.“What did you say?”“Monica lost the baby?” Edward’s grip on the phone tightened abruptly, his knuckles turning white.He pulled up the phone and immediately turned the car around.Alice was still lying on her bedroom bed, clutching h

    Late that night, Edward returned home with Alice.He finally noticed that the wedding portrait was gone.A wave of unease washed over him, as if something was slipping away from him.“Don, I wore the outfit you love most today…”For the first time, Edward coldly pushed Alice away and walked straight toward Monica’s room.Just one glance was enough to leave him frozen in place.Every single one of Monica’s belongings was gone.Edward sat down on the sofa and irritably lit a cigarette.A soft body pressed against his back.Thinking it was Monica, he smiled.“Monica, don’t run away from home again next time. You’re not a child anymore!”But the voice that sounded beside his ear was Alice’s soft and vulnerable one.“Don, do you not love me anymore?”She used the sweet, delicate tone he usually loved so much.But now, Edward found it unbearably irritating.Suppressing his impatience, he coaxed her.“Of course I do.”Alice leaned in to kiss his lips.“Then, Don, you’re not allowed to think a

    “The child is kicking me. I feel so uncomfortable, Don.”Alice raised her voice, deliberately drowning out what I had just said.Edward immediately scooped her into his arms and rushed toward the doctor’s office.He left me with only one sentence.“Get some rest. I’ll come back to see you and the baby.”I stood there in a daze, watching them disappear around the corner.He was going to come back.He was going to come back to see me and our baby.But there was no baby left to see.My hand slowly drifted to my lower abdomen.It was so flat that I could hardly believe that only a few hours ago, there had still been a tiny life growing inside me.Our child.The child I had spent seven months protecting.Edward had once told me he wanted a son who looked just like him or a girl who looked just like me.All of it was gone.And Edward didn’t even know.I had told him.He simply hadn’t listened.The man who had once sworn that I was the most important person in his life had walked away .I wip
