“Congratulations, Alexa. Isn’t this your dream? You will finally become a famous journalist soon!”That shout didn’t make me feel happy, I could only smile stupidly and with an annoyed feeling.How could it not be, tonight should have been the most enjoyable party for me. My most meaningful birthday party, because after so long I was finally accepted at a famous news agency in this city, and I could be proud of myself to my family and friends.But unfortunately, on the day that should have been special, the special man in my life didn’t think the same. Until I felt sick and bored.Yes, he was Justin, a finance manager at one of the biggest companies in the country. He was always busy all day under the pretext of working, but no one knew what he was really like.Like tonight, when I tried to ask him to come to my big day, he was busy working overtime at the office, even though in reality I clearly saw him with Lilian, his sweet ex-girlfriend, in a bar. The two of them were dancing pass

In the morning, my mother came to my apartment, she asked about work while bringing some groceries. As usual, she was surprised when she saw I was still home at this working hour.“Why are you still here, Alexa?

You don’t trust him?”I was silent.“Didn’t I tell you to break up with him immediately?”“Mom ….”“I’ve always known that Justin is not serious with you.”“Enough, Mom.”“Let’s go to

She was taken to the ER to get an immediate help.Justin and I were there, and we didn’t talk to each other at all except Justin kept looking at me with a cynical look.“If something happens to Lilian and the baby, believe me your life will be at stake, Alexa!” Justin was angry at me.“Did you know that Lilian started it first? She pushed me and I was just trying to find my balance. But she fell and—"“Shut up! Do you think I’ll believe it, huh! You’re jealous of her and you don’t accept all this, right?”“Why should I be jealous, you are a pair of traitors!” I can’t accept my anger.Shouldn’t I be the one angry here? Why am I now being made the scapegoat for their actions?“I will report you to the police station, you almost killed Lilian!” Justin shouted.He even called the police to come immediately, and I started to panic because of this.“What are you doing, Justin?”“I will throw you in jail, Alexa.
