Overwhelmed, Raphael sat on the edge of a flower bed, silent for a long while.

Eventually, he mustered some energy, took a cigarette from his coat pocket, and began smoking it slowly.

His mind was cluttered with thoughts, primarily that Olivia was pregnant.

He closed his eyes.

The thought of how quickly Olivia had moved on to be with Dylan and was now carrying his child felt like a betrayal.

Deep down, he still believed that he held a place in Olivia’s heart.

He couldn’t help but ridicule himself.

Olivia was pregnant and had postponed any travel plans.

On April 28th, she and Dylan held their engagement ceremony at the largest church in Duefron.

The event was both simple and splendid, attended by all the notable figures of their social circle.
