Jenny continued, “If only someone could be here with me right now and tell me that the past two days were just a nightmare, maybe I wouldn’t feel so helpless.
“Is everyone around me destined to leave eventually? If I’d known it would end like this, I should have gone back to the countryside and led a simple life. At least there, people wouldn’t have rejected me because of my background.”
Her words conveyed a deen sense of despair. Rowan was left wondering what had transpired in her fe over the past couple of days. He was lost in thought, contemplating her distress.
After finishing her shower, Minerva emerged and saw Rowan engrossed in his phone. “I’m heading out. See you at the courthouse tomorrow.”
She wasn’t sure if Rowan even heard her, as he didn’t look up from his screen. His attention was entirely focused on his phone.
Minerva wasn’t concerned; their relationship was strictly transactional–a family alliance. After having a child, Rowan was free to live as he pleased.
However, she had her own struggles. She was battling fertility issues.
Moments later, Rowan heard the door close and snapped out of his daze, realizing Minerva had left. He glanced toward the door, then back at his phone. After a brief pause, he dialed a number from his contacts.
The call was answered almost immediately.
“Rowan? You finally called me back. I feel like everyone is abandoning me, and I don’t know what to do.” Jenny was surprised that Rowan called her.
It seemed Rowan had seen her message on Messenger. She had taken a gamble, never expecting him to actually notice it.
“What happened?” Rowan’s voice sounded indifferent.
Jenny’s unease grew. “I… I had a nightmare. In the dream, I was being Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
bullied and couldn’t fight back. Everyone was blaming me, saying it was all my fault. I tried to explain, but no one believed me. Not even you, Rowan. It felt so real… I was terrified.”
She couldn’t bring herself to tell him about last night’s events. No matter how many times she tried to cleanse herself, she felt tainted.
“It was just a nightmare?” Rowan’s tone grew colder.
“Yes, Rowan, it was terrifying. I was really scared.” Jenny’s sobs were audible over the phone.
Rowan’s lips pressed into a thin line. “Stop being so dramatic, Jenny. If you keep this up, your nightmare might become reality.”
He had been deceived once again. With that, he ended the call.
Jenny was left in stunned silence. The tone of the disconnect signal echoed in her ear. She couldn’t believe Rowan had hung up on her, the cruelty of his actions cutting deep. It felt as if he had no understanding of the torment she was enduring, both physical and emotional.
All she wanted was to be with the person she loved, yet even that seemed like a transgression. The universe felt relentless in its punishment, pushing her into despair.
Rowan, ignorant of her suffering, had only compounded her pain. Jenny wondered if he felt satisfied now.

Jenny would bear all this pain alone.
As Skylar was about to leave work, she received an unexpected call from Jenny.
“Hello?”
