Misplaced Love: He Is Out of Control

When my fiancé was on his deathbed in an earthquake, he made his older brother, James Stork, promise him that he would take care of me after his death.

James kept his promise and took care of me for five years.

One day, we got drunk and in the moment of recklessness, we ended up sleeping together. As a result, I got pregnant.

Remembering the ring that James kept hidden in the drawer, I became excited and could not wait to tell him the news.

However, as I entered the house, I was walking in the middle of James and his "one true love", Jane Lennox, having a heated lovemaking session.

Seeing this, my face turned as white as a ghost and I fled from the scene.

However, his hoarse voice called out to me, "Sandra Lane, could you help me buy a box of condoms?"

I crushed the pregnancy result tightly in my fist as I gave out a bitter smile.

After I returned with a box of condoms, James transferred fifteen hundred dollars to my account for running errands for him.

Jane, his lover, turned her gaze at me after looking at the box briefly. Her eyes were full of malice when directed to me.

Then she said, "James, your sister-in-law looks so innocent, but she sure knows how to pick things.”

James's gaze was sharp as he scolded, "You're still young. Stop meddling in adult matters. Go stay at a hotel for a few days before coming back.”

I said to her, "Please schedule the earliest appointment for an abortion."

Having seen the warmth and the coldness of human relationships, the doctor did not persuade me to do otherwise. However, when it came time to sign the consent form, she insisted I get a family member’s signature.

I pulled out my phone and instinctively pressed a speed dial. The phone only rang once and before I could do anything, James had already hung up on me.

I forced a smile and told the doctor, “I don’t have any family. I’ll sign it myself.”

After the abortion procedure finished, I found out that James had sent me a message along with a screenshot of a hotel reservation.

It said, "Don't call me unless it's an emergency. You know the reason."

The man was considered enough to book me a hotel room for an entire week.

I was not dumb. After I saw the diamond ring on that woman's finger, what else was there to understand?

When I saw the diamond ring in the drawer, I was too foolish to think James had prepared it for me.

Even more absurd, I thought he might remember that night of madness between the two of us.

I looked at the bloody remains of the tiny life I had lost and left and at that moment, my heart turned into ashes.

The superior luxury room hotel that I stayed in had everything that I needed. It was as cozy as the ...
