A week later, I was working part–time at the mall collecting donations for an orphanage. To my surprise, I encountered Rachel.
She stood rooted to the spot, her eyes red as she stared at me. “Are you really giving up on him, just like that? After everything he did for you…
“Do you still blame him after reading the report? He pasted it together piece by piece. After he found out about your sickness, he cried every time he read it…”
I pretended not to see or hear her, arranging the things on the table.
“Nina, Victor needs you. All I ask is that you tell him not to fire me! I can accept a change in my position, I’ll take any position! I need this job to raise my baby…”
“Keep me out of your matters. I don’t have anything to do with you or him anymore,” I said calmly. Rachel froze.
My disappointment in Victor had piled up like scars on my body. There was no way I could forget them all.
Even if he truly loved me at one point, I no longer wanted any of his love.
Rachel suddenly fell to her knees and hugged my legs, pleading with me. The onlookers began to form a crowd around us!
“I’m begging you, save me and my baby! Please get back with Victor, I promise I’ll never show up in front of you ever again!”
I watched her pity party, growing increasingly frustrated.
I did not want to attract any more attention from the unknowing crowd, and I did not want her nonsense to affect my donation drive, so I tried to help her up.
Rachel immediately hugged my legs tighter blabbing, “I’m sorry, Nina, I’m really sorry! Please don’t be mad at me!”
That was when Victor showed up, his expression stormy. He pulled Rachel to her feet, and she looked at him tearfully. He just stared at me without a word.
“Victor, I came here of my own accord. It had nothing to do with Nina. I just wanted her to get back together with you…”
I scoffed. See, Rachel was still his true love.
She held her round belly, leaning into his embrace. The two of them were blindingly.
