Chapter

Well, well. You two lovebirds move fast,Laria said, her voice syrupy sweet while her eyes remained cold as winter. Pregnant after just one year! Howefficient.” 

She let her voice crack on the last word, her eyes suddenly swimming with perfectly timed tears

I’ve been trying for four fucking years with nothing to show for it.” 

Those fat, glistening tears started their practiced descent down her flawless cheeks

I watched something shift in Hektor’s expressiona look he’d never once given meraw devotion mixed with fierce protectiveness that made my stomach twist into knots

He pressed his lips together before turning to me, his decision already made

Get rid of it.” 

His words hit me like a slap. For a moment, I couldn’t breathe

What did you just say?I whispered, certain I’d misheard

Hektor sighed dramatically. Your body can’t handle a pregnancy, Yunifer. You’re missing a kidney. I couldn’t bear watching you go through labor.” 

I’m only thinking of you,he added with practiced concern. I couldn’t stand seeing you suffer through childbirth.” 

The same man who, moments earlier, had been desperately reassuring Laria about her fertility issues

A bitter laugh escaped my throat. This is my child, Hektor. My body. My goddamn choice.” 

With only one kidney, I lived on borrowed time anyway

But I desperately wantedneededthis child. Someone who would look after my mother when I was gone

Hektor’s expression flickered with what might have been a microsecond of actual hesitation

Oh, Hektor,Laria cut in, her voice a masterful blend of martyrdom and sweetness. Maybe we should let Yunifer keep the baby. I absolutely adore children.” 

She dabbed at her eyes with a tissue before delivering her knockout punch

I’m just terrified that when Julian sees his precious little niece or nephew, he’ll finally realize what a broken, barren failure I am.Her voice dissolved into a delicate whimper

Whatever momentary doubt had crossed Hektor’s face vanished instantly. His voice hardened

Yunifer, this ends now. I’m calling my doctor to schedule the procedure.” 

The hell you are,I shot back, this baby stays. If you don’t want us, finewe’ll disappear.” 

You’ll never have to see either of us again.” 

Chapter

Something dangerous flashed in Hektor’s eyes

You will never leave me,he said, each word like a shard of ice. And this pregnancy ends today,” 

Before I could react, his security team materialized from nowhere. They half dragged, half carried me to the car as I screamed and fought against their grip

In the sterile hospital room, 1 collapsed to my knees before Hektor

Please,I sobbed, clutching at his pants. I have nothing left in this world. Nothing. All I want is this one small mercy, Please let me keep my baby.” 

The doctor looked profoundly uncomfortable

Mr. Reed, modern medicine has advanced significantly. Many women with a single kidney deliver perfectly healthy babies. And this fetus is developing beautifully.” 

Hektor’s face remained carved from stone as he coldly ordered

Proceed with the termination. Now.” 

In the end, they strapped me to the table like an animal

Even through the fog of anesthesia, I felt the cold instruments invading my body, destroying the tiny heartbeat I’d already fallen in 

love with

My chest felt like it was being crushed as silent tears streamed down my face

When I finally regained consciousness, I recognized our bedroom by the scent of Hektor’s cologne before I could even open my eyes

Through barelyparted lids, I spotted them on the sofa across the roomHektor and Lariaher body curled against his like they were 

two pieces of the same puzzle

I can’t believe you actually went through with it,Laria whispered, her voice a perfect blend of feigned horror and secret 

fascination

Making Yunifer terminate like that.” 

Hektor’s voice was low and intimatea tone he’d never once used with me

Think about it, Liv. You’ve been married for years without getting pregnant. If I had a child before you, your motherinlaw would 

make your life absolute hell.” 

You’re my precious sister. How could I let someinconvenient pregnancy hurt you?” 

Oh, Hektor,Laria sighed, her voice trembling with emotion. If only we weren’t legally siblings. I would have chosen you in a heartbeat.” 

But now I’m Julian’s wife,she continued with rehearsed sadness

It’s too late for us. All I can do to repay your devotion is”
