A Moment in Destiny

“Even if I don't understand, you will never get a divorce. I will never agree to divorce!!!” Marley yelled in a low voice of hatred.

Sylvie looked at him with unfamiliar eyes, “Don't push me!”

The pride in her bones survived years of hardship! She was not the one who could be threatened! She had paid all that she owed him back! Now, she didn’t want to live in humility anymore!

When Marley saw her proud smile, he felt a fire burning in his blood, then he stepped forward and strongly held Sylvie against the door, “What about our child?”

“I’ll raise the child, and you shall have visitation rights!” Sylvie replied calmly.

Marley gritted his teeth and said, “What, are, you, saying?”

“You can visit the baby anytime you want. However, if you don't agree to the divorce, I'll have an abortion.” Sylvie looked at him pitifully with her head held high, “Don't force me to take that step. I don't want it to happen, but if you can’t agree, I won't hesitate to abort the baby!"

She knew how angry Marley would be on hearing those words, and from what she had known of Marley, he would be furious.

“This is our baby! If he knew that you ever wanted to abort him, he would be quite upset!”. Unsurprisingly, Marley stared at her like he was going to eat her up, or that his forehead was bruised, “You threatened me with the baby just for a divorce? You damned woman, the child is innocent. If you dare to touch him, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life!”

“Just do it!” She whispered.

“Asking for my consent? Sylvie, do you feel it a torment to be with me now? ” He growled in a low voice.

“Yes!” She closed her eyes. She was also tangled and trembling to stand, only to feel the intense pain in her heart make her cower. With nothing in mind, she heard a hollow voice ring out, “it’s terrible suffering in every minute. I don’t want to pretend anymore. You're tired, and I'm tired too!”

"How come it become what it is today? Sylvie, please tell me, aren’t we good?"

“I'll tell you why! From the day you saw my last hug with Ernie in the corridor of the morgue, you have already started to doubt me. You said that was the last time, but in fact, we are the same. We are both selfish. You can't accept me and Ernie as a friend with a little ambiguity, and I also can't stand your old lover unforgotten in your mind. The most important thing is that we can't conceal our selfishness no matter how many decent reasons we give. If we go on living together, we will be exhausted by ourselves! So, just let go, Marley!”

“How did you know that I can’t stand your ambiguity?”

that you would join in a dinner party, but actually, you were with Jemima. Even if nothing had happened between you and her, did you really respect me? You never did. Don't you think we're tired and worn out? In fact, to put it simply, I don't know you well,

a boom exploded in his head

not excellent at all, but after meeting you, I exert more effort to study and become first at school. Then, I know that you are Marley. So I keep you in my heart ever since! Even in Harvard, I couldn't sleep for a week when I know that you are going to study there too. I often visited you, but you never knew there was me! I loved you secretly behind your back for five years, but you never knew. When I received a call from my grandfather informing me to come back to get married, I refused. However, when I found out it’s you, I agreed. I have never regretted getting married to you over the past months. I still love you, but
