The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio)

"If you can't handle the struggles of pregnancy, just terminate it already!"

And now, I finally realized that he meant every word.

How ridiculous.

But was it too cruel for me to realize this now?

I stayed silent for a long time.

Finally. I spoke up just before Antonio ran out of patience.

"Okay, I got it. I won't wait for you."

With that, I hung up.

Antonio came back early the next morning.

He packed up his things, grabbed the baby items I'd prepared for our child, and got ready to leave.

"A coworker had a baby, and we didn't

have much to give her. I figured we could give her what we got for our baby, and we'll buy more once you've delivered."

I froze for a moment, instinctively touching my belly.

Right.

I wouldn't need it anymore.

This baby... would never be born.

Antonio didn't notice, but as he saw me zoning out, his expression.

darkened slightly.

A flicker of guilt crossed his eyes.

"Really? You're being stingy over a few baby items? We can just buy the same ones later. Your pregnancy mood swings are something else. Do you really think you're a queen or something?" I forced a smile and meekly replied,

"Okay. I'll do as you say."

At that, Antonio was momentarily stunned.
