Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us!

Upon hearing those words, Selena felt as if someone had stabbed her in the heart.

As it turned out, exploiting her had been the most important part of the organization's plan.

"There were a lot of things that didn't go according to our plan-your pregnancy, for one, was something we never expected to happen. The organization told me about it at the first instance and we considered aborting the plan altogether, but we knew that we could never reinstate it after having carried out the first part of it. I thought I was capable of wiping out the entire Zephyr Organization, but that took much longer than I expected."

Pierre paused for a moment before he added, "I don't want you to spend the rest of your life in fear; you never could sleep peacefully whenever I left home. I wanted to put an end to this once and for all. The only way for me to do that was to eradicate them for good, so I carried on with the plan."

Despite his explanation, all Selena heard was that he had chosen to continue with the plan even while he knew she was pregnant. It was a bitter pill to swallow and she began to question the weight she held in his heart.

"I'm so sorry, Selena. I'm really sorry about all of this." He could think of nothing else to say except to apologize profusely; any other promises or oaths seemed meaningless at this point.

The tears spilled down Selena's cheeks. She could understand the position Pierre had been in and she knew that it would be like this since the day she married him. His love for his country would always come first and while she had accepted it as the truth, it didn't make her feel any less resentful.

She could barely describe the anguish that tore through her.
