"What if I get you pregnant?" he asked, as if he saw a glimmer of hope in that possibility. I shook my head. "I won't." "How can you be sure?" "Because I won't allow it!" He frowned at my response, and as he realized what I meant, his face slowly darkened. My hand clenched into a fist. "If something does happen, don't worry. I won't keep it. It would be a mistake.” "Mistake," he repeated, his voice hollow. "I see." “I will go to a country where abortion is legal—” “You will fucking abort our baby, Meraluna?!” His voice thundered. "Damn you... How can you be this so cruel?!" His eyes were bloodshot. “This is my body! I can do everything about this! And isn't it cruel to raise the child of someone you don't love, Alonzo?!” Alonzo's silence echoed in the room, heavy and laden with unspoken words. His expression hardened, a mask of hurt and disappointment settling over his features. I didn't respond and continued walking past him. Just as I thought I was gaining distance, he abruptly spoke. "Leave and don’t ever show your face to me anymore. It disgusts me knowing that I fell in love with a woman like you." Every word he said, felt like peeling my skin alive. “I regret falling in love with you. I regret it.” I closed my eyes tightly at his last words before I turned the doorknob to open it. I would bury everything that happened here. When I leave this room, the only memory I'll have of him is that he was my late husband's brother. That's it, nothing else. ••• In the world of Alonzo Vincent Holland, a man who has effortlessly obtained everything he desires since childhood, indulging whims and caprices, particularly with women. With wealth, power, and striking looks at his disposal, he appears to have it all. Yet, beneath this facade of success lies a profound emptiness that refuses to fade. "It wasn't right. It never was. People will judge. They always do. But who the hell cares? Definitely not someone like me!" Even if Alonzo's wealth runs out, he will gamble everything he has to have Mera, his brother's wife. He will have her, by hook and crook. But how is he going to do that? *** On the other hand, Meraluna Gomez's life was filled with hardships, marked by poverty, orphanhood, and early widowhood. After her husband's death, she made a solemn vow never to welcome romantic love into her life again. However, if she were to go back on her promise, she was certain of one thing: it wouldn't involve Alonzo Holland, her late husband's brother.
