End the Secret Affair
I've been in a relationship with my brother's best friend, Emilio Slater, for three years, but he's never been willing to make our relationship public.
Still, I never doubt his love for me. After all, he's been with 99 women before, yet he stops looking at anyone else because of me. Even if I have a slight cold, he drops billion-dollar projects and rushes home to take care of me.
But on my birthday, when I'm excitedly preparing to share the news of my pregnancy with Emilio, he forgets my birthday for the first time and vanishes without a trace. The housekeeper tells me he's gone to pick up someone important from the airport.
I rush there and see him holding flowers, his face full of nervous anticipation, waiting for a woman—one who looks strikingly like me.
Later, my brother tells me she's Emilio's first love, the one he can never forget. Emilio defied his parents for her, and he fell apart after she dumped him. He sought out 99 women who resembled her to fill the void.
My brother speaks with admiration for Emilio's deep devotion, unaware that I'm one of those stand-ins.
I watch Emilio and his first love for a long, long time. Then, I return to the hospital without hesitation. "Doctor, I don't want this child anymore."
