Chapter 1

When I was eighteen, Leo and I had our first time in a shabby motel room.

Back then, he was driven by a wild, untamed passion, leaving me so swept away that I lost all sense of direction in the rush of first love.

But when I was twenty-five, he sent me into the abortion clinic himself, all because of a Truth or Dare game with his female friend, Eve.

“I’m sorry, Rachel. I was playing Truth or Dare with Eve last night, and I lost the baby as a forfeit.”

“A baby can be conceived again, but a bet between guys can’t be reneged on. Just bear with it for a bit, okay?”

His words made me tremble with horror:

“You’d actually kill our baby for another woman? What kind of spell has she cast on you?”

Leo’s face darkened, angered by my outburst.

“You have the nerve to bring up Eve? Do you have any shame? Who in this world is more despicable than you?”

“You’re like a slut, climbing into my bed willingly. You frequented that cheap motel more often than anyone else. What right do you, a woman of insatiable desire, have to criticize her!”

That sentence shattered the last bit of my dignity.

I gave up all resistance and walked into the operating room.

Twenty-five-year-old Leo, I don't love you anymore...
