And it was no more.
“Fucking fight me then, don’t flee.”
She hit the elevator button. “I can’t take this stress right now,” she murmured. I wanted her to take it. I wanted her to really fight me.
I was not going to let her get into that elevator anyway. We were going to fix this. It was too much for such an unnecessary thing. She had to know I trusted her. She had to know she was my everything.
This was stupid after everything we had been through.
I was going to make her see that. She was just stubborn.
She might want to fight me, but I was going to fightforher,forus.
Before I could voice any of my thoughts, a bitter laugh left Priscilla, and she opened one of the cabinets to take out a pink glittered bag. “Before, I forget,” she said and reached inside. “Fucking congratulations.”
Then she threw something to my face. Thanks to my reflexes, I caught it in the air. And I looked at it.
The second I saw it, my body froze. It was a pregnancy test. It was a positive pregnancy test.
I deserved to rot in hell.
I didn’t know what to feel. It tore me apart, but it also filled me with joy. It brought back horrible memories, but it was also a new beginning. I wanted to hug Priscilla and share my happiness with her, but I couldn’t do that because I made her upset. I made my pregnant wife upset.
I looked up, so many apologies on the tip of my tongue. I was ready to beg on my knees.
But I was too late because she was already in the elevator. “Goodbye, Antonio.”
I tried to reach the doors. I tried to stop it, but before I could, they shut close. Now Priscilla was away from me. She was out there in the world without protection. She was also pregnant.
The sight of her bloodied body lying in the forest filled my mind, and I screamed into the empty apartment.
Priscilla
Asshole. He was such an asshole.
I watched the numbers countdown on the elevator. I hated Antonio for causing this. I also hated myself for reacting in a harsh way.
I knew I was also an asshole for putting him on the spot like that. It was one of the reasons I decided to leave.
Michele wanted me to spy for him. I should have told Antonio about that and then let him apologize to me because his accusation hurt me. It was always like that for us.
This time his timing was shitty.
I was already too nervous about my pregnancy news. I needed him to just be with me and assure me this time it was going to be okay. I needed him, and instead, I got accused of betraying him. It pushed me to the edge.
I was still in the wrong, though. What he did was not nice, but I pushed it too far. Asking him if he loved me was too much. Giving him a choice between losing me or lying was just too toxic. I never wanted to treat him like that.
The fact that he didn’t say yes hurt, but he still chose to be honest with me.
That’s why I needed to leave.
When the doors opened in the lobby, I saw Dario leaning on the receptionist's desk. I knew I was going to find him here. He was flirting with that receptionist girl for far too long.
“Dario,” I called.
He turned towards my voice, and his eyes widened. “Mrs. Mazzoni.”
I told him to call me Priscilla, but he was still struggling with that. I didn’t care about it at the moment. I just wanted to leave this building.
