My boyfriend Leo turns 21 tomorrow. I made the long flight to catch him off guard, but I surprised myself instead.

I boarded the cab I had rented as soon as I deplaned. Sadly, there was an accident involving the cab, and I ended up with some minor scratches on my arm. My injuries were cleaned up and treated at the hospital with the assistance of the police. I saw a man and a pregnant woman walking in my direction as I prepared to call my boyfriend.

Clearly, the woman was four to five months pregnant.

But it wasn't the lady that caught my eye.

My boyfriend Leo is the man standing next to the expectant woman, who is now giving her a tender and loving gaze.

I'm fairly certain that Leo and her are in a close relationship because of the way he is carefully tending to her.

I approached Leo and asked, "What are you doing? " While calming myself.

Leo appeared surprised, and I assume he was wondering why I would be here.

I suddenly realized what was going on as the woman grinned at me.

My tone was becoming more stern, "Leo, respond to me."

Leo didn't respond to me right away. Instead, he cast a quick glance at the person standing next to him before dragging me to a quiet corner. "What is your relationship with that woman? I yelled as I yanked my hand away. Is she carrying your child inside? "

His brows furrowed, and guilt filled his eyes. He and I have been friends for 18 years. I only need to look at him to know what he's thinking.

"Kinsey, I'm sorry"

Leo uttered these three words. These three words pierced my heart like knives.

"Kinsey, let's break up", he said, feeling as though he hadn't already hurt me enough.

I took a few steps back because I couldn't believe what he had just said.

I then smacked him across the face with some force. Instead of dodging, he took the slap.

"You……you!

When I could take it no longer, tears began to flow from my eyes.

The lady is already five months pregnant even though we only started dating formally three months ago. This indicates that he admitted to me three months ago while also being aware that he had caused the pregnancy of a different woman two months earlier.

I'm to blame; I made the stupid mistake.

I have a great love for him. In our 18 years of friendship, he has always treated me with the utmost respect, yet he has also lied to me and manipulated my emotions. The rage I'm experiencing at the moment is beyond words. I gave him another slap while raising my hand.

He didn't dodge like he did just now.

Instead, that woman approached us and gave me a forceful slap.

"Leo and I were dating before you, why did you slap him? who gave you the right to do that? The third wheel is you."

Is that woman trying to tell me that I'm the one destroying their relationship instead?

Leo was shocked that this woman had slapped me as well, so I covered my face with my hands.

"What are you doing, Lia? Go back first; this is between her and I", Leo yelled at the woman

Lia attempted to leave as Leo became agitated, but I restrained her by pulling on her arms and yelling, "Nobody leaves until this is settled."

"Okay, I have no problem telling Ms. Jennie Gomez that she is the third wheel in this situation."

It appears that Lia is also a difficult woman.

“Enough! Lia, stop talking," Leo hissed at the woman.

"Jennie, I'm sorry; I'll take my time with this. Let me send you back; which hotel are you staying at."

Leo appeared mentally worn out, irritated with the two women standing next to him.

"Please explain now," I said.

I'm on the verge of losing my mind right now. I'm enraged. I moved forward to strike him once more.

Lia stepped in front of Leo to protect him but he didn't budge.

“Ahh!"

The woman yelled.

“Lia! What's wrong? ”

"I think I might be having a miscarriage, Leo, my stomach hurts! LEO! Our child! ”

I was violently shoved away by Leo, and I hit the ground.

I gave him a look. He was extremely concerned for Lia. He rushed to the emergency room while carrying her up, his hands covered in blood.

Although my knee was scratched, it didn't hurt as bad as my heart.

Blood was also covering the floor. Then I became aware of what I had done.

Leo was smoking his cigarettes while lying against a wall inside the hospital.

He's been studying abroad for a while, and even though I've flown here to see him a few times, I haven't noticed him starting to smoke.

I finally understood his relationship with Lia after a brief explanation. He went out with Lia, and the two of them had a one-night stand. Lia became pregnant but kept it from him. She didn't tell him until she was three months pregnant.

This indicates that Leo was unaware of the woman's pregnancy when he confided his feelings to me.

He didn't play with my emotions or tell me lies.

"Jennie, just go back. I'm sorry"

After extinguishing his cigarette, he turned to face me.

He still wants to end our relationship, but I refuse. I really love him!

Without him, I cannot survive.

"You...... you can let her keep the child, you can raise the child with her too, I don't mind, I will help you take care of the child as well," I could hear myself stuttering as I spoke.

I can also make a sacrifice by not having any children, provided that you marry me rather than her. Okay? I pleaded with him as I knelt before him.

Never before have I felt so hopeless.

He's familiar with me. He is aware that I have never cried out in such a way.

Leo looked utterly shocked as he raised my head with his hands. My tears were wiped away, and he said: I'm sorry, Jennie; I don't deserve your kindness; I'm a trash.

"I waited for you for so many years and you finally confessed. I don't want to just give up like that, please, don't leave me," I said. "You deserve it, you know how much I love you. You know it better than anyone in the world."

My determination vanished, and now I'm just a frail woman pleading with him to stay.

He gently pushed me away.

"I really don't mind her and the child," I sobbed as I buried my face on his back and gave him the best hug possible.

Leo nevertheless drew me away, saying, "Even if Lia wasn't expecting, we still can't be together! Remember that we are siblings by blood! ”
