When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Glaring at Rebecca’s pregnant belly, my face turned stone-cold. “Rebecca, my baby is dead! Don’t think you’ll get away with it! You, and your mother, will get what’s coming!”

“Scarlett, you mad woman! What nonsense is that?” Rebecca dropped her façade entirely following my threat.

My anger contained, I clenched both my fists tight. “Mad? When your mother did what she did, she should have considered how a madwoman such as I would retaliate against you!”

I took note of the chair next to me. Without warning, I lifted it and aimed it at Rebecca. She let out a scream.

“That’s enough!” Ashton, being the strong man that he was, snatched the chair from me and glared at me in disbelief. “Scarlett, what’s the matter with you? How did you become like this? We might have lost one baby, but we could always have another one.”

“Ho!” I scoffed. I lifted my chin and gave him an icy stare before flashing my palm in his face. Very slowly, I said, “Ashton, you’re one to talk. It’s easy for you, isn’t it? Giving birth. All you need to do is fire several shots. You don’t have to go through ten months of hard labor!”

His eyes fell on the scar on my palm, and frowned, “How did this happen?”

I laughed, but it was much more painful than crying. Glancing at Rebecca, I resisted my tears. “How did this happen? You should ask your most precious Rebecca over there how I got this scar.”

I looked back at Ashton, a lot calmer this time, and continued, “Ashton, do you know how our baby died? That night, he tried so desperately to get out of me, but he was not able to.”
