“I won’t ever abandon you again, Bertha.”
Bertha was already sick of his promises. She could not even be bothered to expose him. In fact, she did not even look at him. “It’s fine. If it’s necessary for your job, I’m okay with it.”
A hint of regret flashed in Simon’s eyes.
“I won’t care about work anymore. Bertha, you’re the most important person to me.”
That night, Bertha started burning up, and Simon took care of her throughout the night.
Since she did not like the smell of disinfectant in the hospital, he hired a private doctor. When she had no appetite, Simon looked through all sorts of recipe books for tasty, healthy meals.
The maids were envious of her relationship with Simon. But Bertha was the only one who knew that she would be abandoned in the huge house whenever night fell.
Luna posted new content on her Instagram every day, and Simon always showed up in every single one of her photos. Sometimes, it would be in the form of his arm. Sometimes, it would be his abs.
Tonight, Luna took a selfie as she lay on his chest. The caption read, [Wherever his love is, that is where he will be every night.]
Bertha zoomed in on the photo and saw the letter “B” tattooed on the spot right above his heart.
Simon had gotten that tattoo in secret during their first anniversary. He said that he would treasure her forever.
At this point, her heart had died a long time ago. With a stony expression, she liked the post.
So, a person could truly multitask, huh? He loved one woman while he slept with another one.
Soon, Luna sent her a message. [Bertha, how does it feel after listening to us making love? Earlier, he called me honey, and he did it so passionately. Everyone says that a man works during the day while he lives his life at night, right? He doesn’t love you anymore, and he only takes care of you during the day out of a sense of responsibility. I’m the one he truly loves. Why else would I be pregnant?
[You’re a smart person, and you should be aware of your place in Simon’s heart. I don’t think you know this, but I’ve been with Simon for more than a year. He says that you’re boring in bed. During the nights we’ve been together, we’ve tried more than one hundred styles in bed. Sometimes, if he’s addicted to a certain position, he might use it for an entire week.
[We’ve made love on the lawn you got engaged in, the theater where you had your first date, the first car he bought, and even your bedroom!
[I doubt that you know just how obsessed he is with me. I’m pregnant now. If you have any sense at all, pack up and leave. Otherwise, when the baby’s here, you’ll end up looking like a joke.]
Bertha quietly read through the messages. Meanwhile, Luna was getting impatient.
She was not only provoking Bertha, but she was also starting to send her all of her pictures with Simon.
She took them in places that were filled with memories of Bertha’s time together with him. While Simon remained in the pictures, the woman had changed, and the things they did were shameful.
[Bertha, I can’t believe you can still keep your composure. Have you not seen enough?]
Bertha turned off the screen, and her tears fell all over the phone.
At some point in time, she had started crying. She gritted her teeth and wiped away her tears. Even so, she still could not heal her wounded heart.
‘Simon, how could you?!
‘You said that you would be with me forever and that you would never betray me, but all of your promises are just lies!’
