Watching them leave, I felt deflated.
“Ivy, what’s going on? Why did Caleb say that I was not his mate?” I asked dejectedly.
“I don’t know…” Ivy was also very frustrated. “You’re mates, I’m sure of it. I can’t forget how strong the attraction was between the two of you.”
Pain and confusion overwhelmed me. Ivy and I didn’t mistake that feeling of attraction. Then what went wrong?
I simply couldn’t figure it out. Perhaps Moon Goddess played a cruel prank on me.
That night, another visitor came to my cell.
Thinking that my father had changed his mind, I looked up expectantly. Unfortunately, my visitor wasn’t my father, but his confidant, Leonel
Ruiz. He also brought a doctor.
Leonel told me coldly that the Alpha had ordered to take me to the hospital for the abortion. Standing behind Leonel was my maid, Vicky.
“My poor child.” Vicky rushed in and hugged me, crying. “You’ve suffered too much!”
I hugged Vicky back and cried even harder than her.
“Stop stalling. Let’s go,” Leonel urged impatiently.
I backed into the corner and shook my head adamantly. “No, I’m not coming with you!”
It was not that I didn’t want to have the abortion, but that I couldn’t.
The second that child’s life was ended, my crime would be set in stone and I would never be able to prove my innocence.
Debra’s POV:
Ignoring my protests, Leonel approached me slowly with a dangerous look.
“Debra…” Vicky said gently, trying to persuade me to give in. “Just listen to what he says. You have to think about your future!”
I pulled Vicky over and begged in a low voice, “I am thinking of my future! I can’t have an abortion! You have to help me, Vicky. I need to escape.”
Vicky’s face fell. She must’ve thought it was a bad idea. But in the end, her expression softened and she whispered, “Okay, I’ll do what I can.”
Seeing that she was on board, I immediately raised my head and pretended to give in to Leonel. “Fine, I’ll have the abortion on one condition. You have to let me visit my mother’s grave first.”
Leonel didn’t agree immediately. Instead, he called my father for his permission first. When my father agreed, Leonel finally caved.
