— Is that your child? My niece came to have a baby from you?
— Mine, — her husband answered, and those words sounded like thunder in the sky. It was the sound of a life destroyed. The sound of the world collapsing for me. — But, please, let’s talk. Everything is not like you…
Behind my back I heard a quiet breath and the sound of a body falling.
I turned around and saw that Yulia awkwardly tipped to one side and passed out.
— Damn it… — Ruslan rushed to lift her.
I quietly left, leaving the keys on the bedside table in the hallway. I don’t need them anymore.
And the pregnancy test with two lines that I carried in my bag—never happened to show him. He will never see it.
Nor will he see the child I’m about to give birth to.
Without him.
Terrifying, losing everything at thirty-five, but…
How do I work in the same office with him side by side now?
I’ll learn to live without you, you traitor.
