LOVE'S BITTER JUSTICE
655 Words
Chapter 1: Butterflies
Nolitha was 19, and everything about him felt like magic. His name was Kamo, a smooth-talking guy from town, a few years older, confident, charming. He’d send good morning texts, buy her favorite snack, and hold her hand like it meant something. He made her feel special—like her dreams were safe with him.
> "I think I love you," he whispered one night under the stars.
"You think?" she teased, giggling.
"No—I know."
By the third month, Nolitha believed she'd met her forever. She was careful, but love made her careless. She missed her period, twice.

Chapter 2: Broken Promises
“I’m pregnant.”
Kamo stared at her like she’d spoken a foreign language. His jaw tightened. “No. You can’t be.”
His reaction stabbed her more than she expected. She expected maybe shock, but not disgust.
“You’ll have to get rid of it. I’m not ready.”
> "What do you mean get rid of it? This is our baby."
He paced, muttering things like “my life is over” and “you trapped me.” Her heart sank. All those "I love yous" evaporated into thin air.
He left her alone that night. And for the first time, Nolitha cried herself to sleep, stomach in knots—not from nausea, but heartbreak.

Chapter 3: The Procedure
Her hands trembled as the nurse explained the process. Nolitha kept thinking maybe Kamo would show up and stop it. He didn’t.
The cold metal table felt like punishment. She had begged, argued, pleaded—but Kamo threatened to leave for good. He even said she'd be a “burden” with a baby.
The moment it was over, she felt empty. Not just physically—but spiritually. A grief she couldn’t describe took root in her bones.
> "You said you'd be here," she texted him.
No response.
She stopped eating for days. Slept all day. The light inside her dimmed.

Chapter 4: Aftermath
Nolitha wasn’t the same. She returned to school, but didn’t laugh like she used to. Her friends noticed, but she brushed them off.
Kamo moved on quickly—seen at parties, with other girls. Like nothing happened.
She overheard him once laughing with his friends, calling her “a mistake I fixed.”
> “He killed my baby,” she whispered to herself that night. “And now he laughs?”
That’s when the seed of revenge sprouted.

Chapter 5: The Switch
Nolitha stopped crying. Instead, she started documenting everything—screenshots, old texts, the threats, the calls. She started therapy secretly, just to channel her pain with clarity.
She transformed.
New hair. New clothes. A confident strut. But beneath it was fire.
She created a fake account and posted her story anonymously—detailing the emotional abuse, the forced termination, the manipulation.
Soon, it went viral.
She also sent evidence to his workplace—he lost an internship opportunity. Girls from his past came forward too.

Chapter 6: Firestorm
Kamo’s life spiraled. Online, he was branded a narcissist and an abuser. His new girlfriend dumped him. He lost friends. Even his own mother called him to ask if what she read was true.
He tried reaching out to Nolitha.
> “Please, I’m sorry.”
“You’re only sorry you got exposed.”
She didn’t need to scream. The world did it for her.

Chapter 7: Closure
Nolitha stood by the ocean, the wind playing with her curls. She wasn't angry anymore. Just... lighter.
> “I forgive myself,” she whispered. “And I forgive you—but you’ll never have access to me again.”
She wasn’t the same girl who once believed love was everything. She was stronger, sharper. Her baby may not have lived, but her truth did—and it echoed louder than any lie Kamo could ever tell.
