Chapter 1 Break-Up
Tomorrow is my boyfriend Leo‘s birthday. I flew all the way to surprise him, but
ended up surprising myself instead.
Getting off from the plane, i hopped on to the cab I rented. Unfortunately, the cab
got into an accident and I ended up having some minor scratches on my arm. The police helped send
me to the hospital to get my injuries cleaned and treated. I was about to call my boyfriend when I saw a
man and a pregnant lady walking towards my direction.
The lady was obviously 4 to 5 months pregnant.
However, it wasn‘t the lady who caught my attention.
The man beside the pregnant lady, who is now looking at her with care and love, is my boyfriend Leo.
Seeing how Leo is taking care of her carefully, I‘m pretty sure they are in some sort of close
relationship
I walked towards Leo and calmed myself, asking: “What are you doing?”
Leo looked surprised, he must be thinking why I would be here.
The lady looked at me with a smirk, then I suddenly understood what is happening.
“Leo, answer me.” My tone was getting harder.
Leo
didn‘t answer me immediately. Instead, he glanced at the woman beside him and pulled me to a side w
here there‘s nobody around. I pulled my hand away and
screamed: “What is your relationship with that lady? Is it your child inside her?”
His furrowed his brows, eyes filled wit guilt. I have known him for 18 years, I know what he‘s
thinking with just one look.
“Kinsey, I‘m sorry.”
Leo said these 3 words. These 3 words were like knives cutting my heart.
He felt as if he hasn‘t hurt me enough and added: “Kinsey, let‘s break up.”
I stepped back a few steps, I couldn‘t believe what he just said.
Then, I gave him a hard slap across his face. He didn‘t dodge and instead accepted the slap.
“You……you!” I couldn‘t take it anymore and my tears started rushing out my eyes.
We started officially dating 3 months ago, yet the lady is already 5 months
pregnant. This means that he confessed to me 3 months ago at the same time knowing he made
another woman pregnant 2 months earlier.
It‘s my fault, I was the foolish one.
He’s someone that I love so much. He treated me the best in the 18 years that we know
each other, but yet he lied to me, played with my feelings. I couldn’t describe the anger
that i‘m feeling right at this moment. I raised my hand and slapped him again.
Like just now, he didn’t dodge.
Instead, that lady walked towards us and slapped me hard.
“Me and Leo were together before you, who gave you the right to slap him? You’re the third wheeler.”
Is that woman telling me that I‘m the relationship wrecker instead?
I covered my face with my hands, Leo was also shocked that this lady slapped me.
“Lia, what are you doing? This is between me and her, go back first!” Leo shouted at the woman.
Lia noticed Leo getting
angry and tried to leave, but I pulled her arms, not letting her go and said: “Nobody leaves until this is s
ettled.”
“Alright, I have no problem telling Ms Jennie Gomez who‘s the third wheel here.
Seems like Lia is not an easy woman too.
“Enough! Shut up, Lia.” Leo growled at the lady.
“Jennie, I‘m sorry, I‘ll explain everything
to you slowly. Which hotel are you staying at, let me send you back.”
Leo looked mentally tired. Tired of the 2 women beside him.
“I want you to explain now.”
Right now, I‘m on the verge of become mad. I’m furious. I stepped forward to hit him again.
Leo didn‘t move away but Lia stepped in front of him to protect him.
“Ahh!”
The lady screamed.
“Lia! What‘s wrong?”
“Leo, my stomach hurts, I might be having a miscarriage! LEO! Our child!”
Leo pushed me away hard and I fell onto the floor.
I looked at him. He was very worried about Lia. He carried her up and rushed towards the emergency
room with his hands full of blood.
My knee was scratched, but it doesn‘t hurt like my heart.
The floor was also full of blood. Then I realized what I have done.
Inside the hospital, Leo lay against the wall, smoking his cigarettes.
He has been studying overseas for few years now, I have flown here to visit him a few times
yet I didn‘t notice him taking up smoking.
After a brief explanation I finally understood his relationship with Lia. He attended a gathering with
Lia and they had a one night stand. Lia got pregnant but didn‘t tell him. She
waited until she‘s 3 months pregnant only she told him.
This means, when Leo confessed his feelings to me, he had no idea this woman was pregnant.
He didn‘t lie to me, he didn‘t play with my feelings too.
“Jennie, go back. I‘m sorry.”
He finished his cigarettes and looked up at me.
He still wants to break up with me, but I don‘t agree to this. I love him so much!
I can‘t live without him.
I could hear my voice trembling when I speak: “You ……
you can let her keep the child, you can raise the child with her too, I don‘t mind, I will help you take care
of the child too. I
can also sacrifice by not giving birth to any child, as long as you marry me, not her. Okay?” I begged,
kneeling in front of him.
I have never been so low before. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
He knows me well. He knows I’ve never begged anyone like this.
Leo raised my head with his hands, looking utterly shocked. He wiped my tears away and said:
“Jennie, I’m sorry. I don’t deserve you to treat me so well! I‘m trash!“.
“You deserve it, you know how much I love you. You know it better than anyone else in the world. I
waited for you for so many years and you finally confessed. I don’t want to just give up like that, please,
don’t leave me!”
My fierceness disappeared and right now I‘m just a weak woman, begging him not to leave me.
He pushed me away softly.
I couldn’t stand it, I hugged him from the best and buried my face on his back. I cried: “I really don’t
mind her and the child!”
Yet, Leo still pulled me away: “Even if Lia wasn’t pregnant, we still can’t be together! Don’t forget that
we are blood related siblings!”
