C22 All Of It Was Gone Without Any Explanation
At one point, I even thought about buying alcohol. Just enough to forget everything for a few hours.
But I pushed the idea away. I still had work the next morning. And despite everything, I refused to let my life fall apart.
As the sun slowly disappeared behind the horizon, memories continued to flood my mind. I remembered Samantha’s smile. The way her eyes lit up when she laughed. The silly jokes we used to share. The dreams we had planned together. The future we once believed would belong to us.
All of it was gone. Gone without explanation. Gone without a proper goodbye. What troubled me most was not even her pregnancy.
It was the way she spoke. The Samantha I knew was gentle, Patient and Kind. She rarely lost her temper. Yet the woman I met that afternoon felt like a complete stranger. The coldness in her voice still echoed in my head.
By the time I finally arrived home, it was already late. To my surprise, my parents were waiting for me. Chris was there too. Beside him stood his mother, Valeria Chambers, the Head Nurse of the local hospital.
