Frustrated, he shoved Jacklyn away and shouted, “Who gave you permission to call me like that?”
Jacklyn landed on the ground in a heap, and tears immediately formed in her eyes, streaming down her cheeks. “Archie? What happened to you?”
Archer glared at her with red eyes and roared, “Nobody but Selene can call me that!”
He hurried home as quickly as he could but soon realized that there was nothing left in the house. It was completely void of everything that belonged to me.
There were only two eye–piercing documents left for him on the coffee table in the living room. One was a divorce agreement. The other was proof of my abortion.
“H–How could she actually… kill the baby?“,
Archer fell to the ground in grief and despair.
He swallowed his tears of remorse as they gushed out from his eyes. However, the woman who would gently comfort him and tell him that everything would be alright was gone.
He had long taken me for granted. He was so used to having me around at home that he had completely forgotten just how important my role was in his life.
Just how much of a jerk had he been to me that he’d repeatedly and continuously hurt me and tortured me for the past three years?

After ringing for a long time, the other party finally picked up.
Archer was overjoyed. He started, “Hello, Selene? I-
“May I know who this is?” An unfamiliar male voice suddenly appeared on the other side of the line, shattering Archer’s hope and catapulting him back to reality.
“Who are you? Where’s Selene?” Archer suddenly had a bad feeling about this.
“Who’s Selene? I’d just bought this number a while ago. Were you looking for the previous owner of this number?”
Archer couldn’t remember how he’d managed to hang up, but he just fell to his knees with his phone in a death grip and stayed on the ground like a statue.
He didn’t care about the nonstop calls and let the media go into a frenzy while his company went up in smoke. He wasn’t in the mood to answer any of those calls.
His precious Selene wasn’t coming back, ever.
