Emi tidak tahu kenapa semua peristiwa menyakitkan itu harus menimpanya, padahal waktu itu ia masih sangat kecil bahkan terlalu kecil untuk sebuah luka. Namun Emi harus menerimanya dengan lapang dada karena semuanya telah terjadi dan tidak ada yang harus disesali. "Aku selalu meminta kepada Tuhan untuk sebuah kematian. Namun Dia tidak ingin memberinya padaku dan membiarkanku merasakan semua kesakitan itu!" "Setelahnya, aku berlari kepada kegelapan tetapi mereka juga tidak ingin memberikannya untukku."

My CEO husband, Clayton Lockwood, was convinced I was a gold digger. Every time he went to comfort his first love during her depressive episodes, he would buy me a limited-edition bag. After half a year of marriage, my walk-in closet was filled with them. After giving ninety-nine bags, he noticed I had changed. I no longer cried my heart out or argued until I was hoarse when he visited his first love. I also did not brave the storm and cross the city anymore just because he said he wanted to see me. I only asked him for a rosary for our unborn child. When I mentioned our child, Clayton’s gaze softened. “Once Ruby’s condition improves, we’ll go to the hospital for a checkup first, then get a rosary.” I obediently agreed. Little did he know that I had a miscarriage ten days earlier. I had also prepared a divorce agreement that was ready for his signature.
