Chapter 4: Promises Jasmine POV âI was pregnant. âI covered my face using my hands. Iâm shaking, and I canât stop sobbing. The only person I am with, with whom I can share my sadness, my pain, and my thoughts, is gone. My best friend died, and now, I am pregnant with Travisâ baby. I was so blind that I couldnât think of him cheating on me.
What about those promises? I feel weak, I donât know how to get up, Iâm so upset right now. I feel like the world is playing me for doing this to me.
How could Travis do this? What about that night? How could he play me so well that I didnât even get suspicious of him? I love Travis more than everything in this world, more than myself, but how could I possibly fix things when he started to ruin us?
And now, I donât know what to do. His Parents hated me so much that they couldnât accept me. I just want my baby to have a Father, isnât that right?
My world was spinning so fast, I donât hate this baby, I just hated the fact that I didnât know earlier what heâs been doing to me.
I wiped my tears and held my tummy.
âIâIâ 'm sorry,â I covered my mouth. Damn it! What should I do now? I canât do this alone. I get a glass of water and drink it. My heart aches, and I feel dizzy.
I went to my room and lay down on my bed. I remember the divorce paper. It was her mom who gave it to me. Maybe Travis doesnât love me anymore.
And that woman whoâs hand wrapped around his arm, that Girl my best friend referred to in her letter. I donât want to get mad at her for hiding that truth from me. IâI canât just accept that Travis threw what we had for years for her.
I know Iâm nothing compared to her. Her looks tell how rich she is and how Travis and her were really for each other. But why? Why do I have to experience this? Why does he need to make me feel this?
âI love you Travis, I love you so much, I endure those years that you kept on ignoring me, when you forgot our anniversaries, how you treated me like I didnât exist, but why do you have to make me suffer for years if you donât love me anymore? If youâre already seeing someone?â I canât help but cry all day.
The divorce agreement that I signed is to prove that I am no longer his wife. Yes, I signed it without hesitation, but I still canât deny that after what he did, I still love him.
Yes, itâs hard to unlove someone I spend the rest of my life with. Itâs hard to let go, but Iâm so tired. Iâm so mad at him for doing this to me.
âBaby, Iâm sorry you wonât have a complete family. But donât worryâno matter what happens, I am here. I can do this without Travis, without her family. Iâm sorry your mom kept on cryingâitâs just thatâIâm so hurt, baby. Just give me time to heal. I will do everything for you, for us. âI force myself to smile.
My best friend was gone, and Travis and I were divorced. Itâs only you and me now, baby.
âI donât have anything but you now, baby. Donât worry; I wonât leave you. I will raise you. I will be your mother and father. âI smoothed my tummy and fixed myself afterwards.
âI love you. I will never abandon or get an abortion just because weâre no longer together. You are my life now, and I will never let anyone hurt you. âI stood up while wiping my tears on my chicks.
Travis has nothing to do with you now. And he doesnât have the right to know that I am pregnant. He chose that woman over us. Then he should also know the consequences.
My phone rang, but I didnât answer it. It kept on ringing five times, but I wasnât in the mood to answer it.
I know heâs also mourning his sisterâs death, and he just wanted to fulfil his sisterâs wish before she died. But I donât want to disturb anyone right now.
Besides, Diego and I were not close, and I just saw him twice for years.
His intention was to help me. Aside from making his sisterâs wish come true, I donât want to talk with anyone right now. Iâm so tired of people coming and leaving. I donât want to be left alone again.
What I am experiencing right now is too much, and I donât want to get involved with Diego.
My phone stopped ringing, and I went to check it. He had six missed calls. I sigh while trying to figure out how to start again.
After what happened, I rented a small apartment, which is the only thing I can afford right now.
âDonât worry, baby. I will find a job. I have to make a living and save money for us. âI couldnât help but cry. This is not what is supposed to happen.
âYou are supposed to have a happy family. Iâm sorry, and I am afraid of everything. Iâm afraid that I wonât give you life and things in the future. But I promise I will do everything I can.â I let out a heavy sigh.
âI love your father, but we canât do anything about it right now-â I stood up and got my phone while my eyes swelled up with tears.
I wiped my face and fixed my hair. I have to be brave; I have to be for my baby.
Winning Her Heart Again (Jasmine)
ï¤Chapter 3: Pregnant But when I opened my phone, I regretted it in an instant. I sat down on the floor, holding my tummy.
âThey were engaged?â I covered my mouth, trying not to burst out crying.
âHow could you do this to me, Travis?â
