"Do you know that I spent two hours jumping up and down with my legs open alone in the bathroom? Do you know how many times I've washed myself? Do you know how many emergency, or long-term contraceptive pills I've taken? My body has already become immune to those, but you still won't use any protection! Haven't you realized how easily I got pregnant in the past one to two years? I wanted to bear your children, Alex, but not to the extent that I would secretly go about doing that when you are not willing to let me, only so I can threaten you with the child! I've been with you for almost eight years! I know you! An unborn child aside, even if I manage to give birth to this child, they would qualify as a leverage against you! That's the iron-clad rule of the elite community! There was the old Master decades ago; there was Sabrina's father-in-law Sean Ford and now, there's you! You are all the same! I get it, Alex! I'm not trying to blackmail you with my child! I got pregnant b y accident! I went to the hospital, wanting to get rid of i t, but... But my body couldn't take any more of the abortion procedures! If I went through with it, I will never have children of my own."
Jane barked a laugh. "Though... None of that matters anymore. My child and I aren't going to live anyways. I won't go with you, Alex. Tell me right now, if the only choice I have is death," Jane said as she stared at Alex and asked word by word in despair. She
unconsciously looked around her and paled with the realization that cars and people had gathered toward her from all directions. Those cars were slowly pushing on and had surrounded her. Some people had gathered outside the circle formed by those cars, including the owner and employees of the restaurant who came out to watch the drama.
"I've always known that something was off with this woman. The clothes she wears are so old and out of date, when her skin is as delicate and smooth as any other ordinary woman. I guessed that she had a fight with her husband and ran out, but it seems like that's not the case. She was probably kept as a pet by some powerful patron, who tried to run with the unborn child in her belly so that she could hold the child as her leverage against that man when she goes back, and now her patron has found her. Sigh... how pitiful."
Jane had given up on asking Alex about it in the midst of all the noises from the crowd. The gathering crowd had made her realize what was going to happen to her. It seemed to her that Alex was going to capture her alive to satisfy his fiancee that came back from overseas. Jane shed tears of regret and smiled bitterly. "I regret it so much. I should have never let you rescue me. I regret it so much! Why do I have to suffer like this??"
She turned to stare at the front of Alex's car viciously before bending down and running toward the car in full force.
'I have to hit my head hard enough to die on the spot! I f I don't, I'm going to suffer,’ she thought.
Just as she was about to run into the car, a person darted out of the crowd and held her tight. "Don't die, Jane..."
Jane turned around and felt her heart sink. She looked at Noah helplessly and said, "You... You shouldn't have come in, Noah! Go now!"
