After what felt like a long journey, the ambulance finally arrived at the hospital. Mary was pale and unconscious. One of the paramedics said, “She has lost a lot of blood. Let’s hope we can still do something.”

Another said, “We have to. She’s so young, she can’t die like this.”

“I don’t know what could have gone through her mind to make her want to end her life. She’s so young,” one of the doctors remarked.

Meanwhile, in her subconscious, Mary was fighting against a very different reality. She was having the same nightmare again.

Mary found herself trapped in a mansion, alone and with a swollen belly, visibly pregnant. She was crying, pleading to be let out, looking distressed. Next to her was Emma, trying to console her.

“Ma’am, please calm down. The baby shouldn’t have to go through this!”

“Emma, I just want to leave. Please, I just want to get away. Why did Maximus lock me up here? I want to leave! He tricked me into coming here. He’s planning to steal my baby.”

“Ma’am, the master only wants to keep you safe. His wife could harm you. That’s why you’re here. He doesn’t want you to get hurt. Please, try to calm down.”

“No, Emma, he wants to take my child and then get rid of me. How could I have been so stupid to fall into his trap?”

Suddenly, as if in a movie, the scene jumped to another moment in her life. Her baby had been born, and Maximus was holding the child tenderly. Mary lay exhausted, crying.
