Exes. You Have No Right to Refuse

- Yes, Mira, that’s your husband and my wife. I can’t understand how they met and ended up together.

Demyan, my ex-husband—whom we divorced, basically because of foolishness and youth—plays the following video.

From the whole series of ones that have already destroyed me to the foundations.

- What difference does it make where these two met, if they’re cheating on us?!

My voice breaks into hysteria as I look at Demyan’s emotionless face. He’s in pain—I can see it in his darkened eyes. But I know—he will keep himself under control to the very end.

- It’s a huge difference, Mira. You’re pregnant, I know. And you won’t stay with that bastard. We’ll get even with them, and then we’ll be together again.

While I listen to this absolute nonsense, Dem adds categorically:

- First of all, you owe your child. So… you have no right to refuse.
