His love

Matthew was reluctant to speak ill of his love, whom he had spent four years with. However, he couldn’t help but feel cynical when he heard her clearly faked screams. 

He marched forward and pushed the door open. As expected, he saw tear stains on Wilhelmina’s face. She wore a vulnerable and helpless expression as though she had been put through great injustice. 

Skyler immediately urged him, “Mr. Mayer, come here now and soothe Willa! I managed to coax her to sleep, but she woke up and had a meltdown. I guess she had a nightmare.” 

“Willa…” Matthew began. 

At that moment, he realized he had nothing more to say to the woman he loved the most. 

“Matt!” Wilhelmina’s tears streamed down her face when she noticed his presence. A sorrowful look was etched on her face as if she was the victim of a cruel world. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

She continued. “Matt, I’m so sad. I feel like dying whenever I think of my uselessness. I failed to protect our child! Every time I close my eyes, my vision will be filled with the sight of the bright blood–the blood of our child! 

“Matt, why did Willow do that to me? I always see her as my best friend, so why would she kill my baby?” 

Matthew replied, “Wilhelmina Foster, you claimed that Willow was your best friend when you framed her, too.” 

She looked taken aback, as she had expected Matthew to cautiously coax her and to think up a worse punishment for Willow. Little did she expect the opposite to happen–he had dropped an emotionless remark instead. 

“Matt…” Wilhelmina, always the actress, put on her pitiful persona. “Matt, I admit that I have wronged Willow before, but I recognized my mistakes! I even asked for her forgiveness. 

“Matt, I’m willing to change and to make up for my mistake! It is my sin to bear. She should have come at me instead of cruelly hurting the baby I was carrying! 

“The baby was innocent. It never hurt anyone. How could Willow be so heartless as to harm our baby? I’d 

rather she take my life instead!” 

Matthew was overcome with fatigue. “Wilhelmina, aren’t you tired after all the effort you pour into acting? 

He no longer wanted to watch her act, and he went straight to the point. 

“Matt, what do you mean?” Her eyes widened in shock, followed by despair from injustice. “Matt, do you think I’m doing this on purpose? 

“I lost our child–Willow even deprived me of a chance to be a mother again. How could I be putting on an 

act?” 

“Wilhelmina, did Willow really shove you down the stairs?” he questioned. 

Hearing that, Wilhelmina instinctively assumed that Willow must have said something to his face.. 

She thought, “Willow must have shamelessly seduced him. That’s why he chooses to believe in her.”
