- the system announced, “Host, Elijah’s
- affection meter is at ten percent.”
- I was shocked.
- How?
- I hadn’t done anything. Why the sudden
- surge?
- “Host. I can give you another chance if you
- <
- want to continue the mission.”
- “No.”
- I immediately refused.
- Eight years of trying, I was exhausted.
- I didn’t want to try anymore.
- My love for Elijah was fading.
- My emotions were disappearing.
- A doctor entered, updating me on my
- condition.
- “The bullet hit your abdomen, and the baby…
- we couldn’t save it.”
- “What?”
- Elijah exclaimed.
- The usually calm spiritual leader was stunned.
- “She was pregnant?”
- “Yes, Mr. Hayes, we tried our best.”
- I touched my abdomen, where a life had once
- existed.
- Now, it was gone.
- After the doctor left. Elijah got out of bed and
- took my hand.
- “Why didn’t you tell me you were pregnant?”
- I thought I saw a flicker of remorse in his
- eyes.
- But why would he feel remorse?
- He’d never been kind to me.
- I cared for him, massaged him, yet he only
- ignored or yelled at me.
- Once, I baked him a birthday cake, and he
- threw it in the trash.
- He said, “Stop wasting your effort. I’ll never
- love you.”
- Then he’d go to his study, stare at his first
- love’s portrait, tracing her collarbone.
- He’d whisper his love for her.
- Even when his family pressed him to marry
- me, he refused.
- Now I understood. I’d interfered with his life.
- I should have left.
