If There Were An Afterlife Would You Love Me

Timothy let out a disdainful snort. “Mia has a knack for pulling these kinds of stunts. What’s the matter with her? It’s downright revolting!” Dominic, clearly baffled, asked, “But what does this bloody finger signify? Is Mia in some kind of trouble?”

“I refuse to believe it! She’s just trying to grab my attention. It’s as if she’s pleading with me not to go through with the divorce and to stay by her side!” Timothy shrugged, his indifference palpable.

He continued, “She knows that Maya has always dreamed of seeing the starry sky beneath the waves. Maybe she’s trying to threaten me into submission, claiming she’ll harm Maya!”

“She’s unbearable. Just the sight of her makes my stomach churn!”

“The more concern you show her, the more she thrives on it! I should really dig deeper and uncover the truth as soon as possible.”

In that moment, I felt like a disembodied soul, drifting through the air, engulfed in emptiness and sorrow.

He saw me as a wretched creature, filled with disgust just by my presence.

And truth be told, I, too, felt utterly repulsive.

Yet, he remained unaware of the reasons behind my actions, and I chose not to elaborate.

I found myself pondering whether he truly loved Maya.

Perhaps it was the fear of me actually causing harm to his beloved that led him to toss both the photo and the bloody finger into the trash.

Later, he pulled out his phone, intending to send me a message, only to discover that he had already blocked and deleted me.

After a moment of contemplation, he removed my number from the blacklist. He dialed a few times, but no one picked up.

Then, he decided to send me messages.

[Mia, if you even think about hurting her, you’ll regret it!]

[Stop with these games, you wretched creature! You make me sick! Even if you were to vanish, I wouldn’t spare you a glance! Just sign the divorce papers. Maya will be jealous if I have anything to do with you!]

A dull ache settled in my chest.

Just a few months ago, Timothy had shown me such kindness. Now, he could unleash such cruel words upon me. How heartless he had become!

I hadn’t betrayed him; none of this was my doing.

Yet, I was already lost, and the body in that suitcase belonged to me.

FLASHBACK

“Congratulations, you’re one month pregnant. Everything appears to be progressing well.”

Mia Lane clutched the results of her pregnancy test as she returned home, feeling as if she were in a dream. Was she really going to be a mother?

Summoning her courage, she sent a text to her husband, Timothy Barrett. “Will you be home for dinner tonight?”

She felt like an eternity passed as she awaited his response. He had never appreciated interruptions during work hours, and the fear of being left unanswered loomed over her, just as it had in the past.

Then, her phone lit up. Timothy’s reply came through, brief and to the point: “Yeah. I have something to tell you.”

Relief washed over Mia as she hurried off to gather ingredients for dinner. She placed the pregnancy test results on the table, flipping them over to conceal the obvious.

That evening, a sleek black limousine rolled into the courtyard. Timothy stepped out, his suit jacket casually draped over one arm, his tall figure and striking features commanding attention.

“Take a look at this. Feel free to voice any requests you might have,” he said, his tone indifferent.

Mia glanced down at the papers he handed her. The first page bore the words “divorce agreement,” and the stark whiteness of the paper felt like a dagger to her heart.
