After Losing Her, He Went Crazy novel Chapter 3

In the dimly lit room, the first thing I did after regaining consciousness was check my abdomen.

When I felt a slight bulge, I finally relaxed.

The person by my bed saw I was awake and slipped under the covers.

Since I got pregnant, Elon and I had been sleeping in separate rooms.

He hated the smell of fish, so I always had to wash myself several times and spray perfume when I was with him.

Now, he pressed close, his hand brushing over my bandaged skin.

"I'm sorry, Emma, you know I just went bankrupt. That deal was crucial—I couldn’t waste your investment."

"I had to pretend not to know you that day."

Since Elon went bankrupt, he had been in a downward spiral. He wanted to make deals, but the capital could only come from me.

I worked day and night selling fish, hoping to build a better life for our family.

"Elon, when are we getting married?"

Yet I still only held the title of his girlfriend.

Elon, as usual, handed me a glass of milk with miscarriage-preventing medicine, coaxing me to drink it.

I noticed the expensive watch on his wrist—far beyond what I could afford.

My mind was a mess. I lay awake until late, hearing Elon get up, grab his coat, and leave.

When he returned in the morning, he smelled of Stacy's perfume.
