|| EMILY'S POV ||
The tears in my eyes became uncontrollable. She was a beautiful woman with plump asses and exotic makeup, defining herself as a seductress. Looking at the mirror for one last time, she headed off inside the apartment, trotting on her high heels. Perhaps, Luka found his new interest. I was never close to these women who carried a strong aura of beauty. Maybe, I was a fool to like a man who was out of my reach.
Remembering his harsh words, more sobs threatened to come out of my lips. I felt a tight knot in my stomach to imagine how disgusted he was of me. Wiping my tears off, I took a cab to find the best hospital in the town for his good.

" Sorry, Miss Miller. We can't allow you to abort a baby without the father's consent.", the receptionist declined my request politely, her features marred in a mixed kind of emotions. Probably, she had seen through the eternal battle that I was going through. I had been searching for a hospital for the past two hours but none of them agreed. I had a gut feeling that it had something to do with Lorenzo. He was a good man. Valentina, my best friend never wanted me to get rid of this child. But what can I do when the man who I love doesn't want this child? I couldn't use this child to hinder his future.
Murmuring thanks to the lady, I dragged my numb feet away from the reception, finding a corner to sir down. I couldn't abort inside the entire city. Lorenzo had powers and probably he had blocked everywhere. Wrecking my brain hard, I could only think of one solution at that moment. I needed to go to a city side hospital where Lorenzo couldn't stop me. Though it was a huge risk, I had to do it for Luka. Perhaps, he wouldn't hate this child after It was gone from my stomach.

Another hour later,
" Young lady, your uterus isn't in good shape. You might never fall pregnant if I abort this baby now.", the gynecologist told me for the fifth time, rolling the cold tube over my stomach. I kept facing the wall, not wanting to look at the baby in case I fell in love. Even my first doctor said the same to me. I might never fall pregnant if I aborted this child but did I have a mention?
I was a poor woman, hardly earning. Without any family support, I had no one to rely on in this world. Above all, what will I tell my child when he will grow up and ask about his father?
Tears from my eyes became unending. I had come a long way to not return. I was mentally prepared for the outcome before running in this clinic. Sobbing silently, I muttered with difficulties,
" Do it please..I..I want to abort it..."
The gynecologist said nothing except a heavy sigh and soon two of the nurses arrived to take me to the operation theater. While laying in bed, I could only think of one thing, say one word to my child again and again,
" Mother loves you.."
" I am sorry, baby.. I couldn't keep you.."
Before entering the operation theater, I sneaked one last glance at my phone. A part of me hoped that Luka would call me once. I would have changed my mind if he called me once to say that he didn't hate the child. Letting the tears flow down, I closed my eyes shut and muttered breathlessly,
" Do..it...."

|| VALENTINA'S POV ||
" Where is she? Why isn't the doctor coming out yet?", I asked gasping hard. Right before coming here, I received a call from a clinic, telling that Emily was in terrible condition after the abortion. We took a quick ride to this remote hospital.
We all were surprised as hell when we found out that she had come to an unauthorized clinic to do her abortion. Now, she was bleeding consistently. Thankfully, Lorenzo had requested a big doctor to take care of her. That doctor had arrived before us and was looking after her condition.
I was crying silently to think that the baby was gone now. Could I blame Emily for that? She just didn't want her child to have an unhealthy life. She wanted to punish Luka through her decision.
Soon, the doctor came out in a look of worry. Nodding at Lorenzo, he spoke very coldly,
" Didn't anyone tell her that her abortion is too risky? Her condition is so severe that she might never get pregnant again. So sorry! Such a young woman! What about the father of this child? Doesn't he know about the situation?"
I almost stumbled back on my feet but Lorenzo kept me in place thankfully. As we lay in each other's embrace in shock, we heard another voice coming from behind,
" WHAT????"
