Rebecca stood in the building lobby with trembling legs. Her vision was blurry, and her ears were filled with a buzzing sound, making it impossible for her to hear clearly. For a moment, she just stood there, clutching the documents in her hands like a fool. She ignored the people passing by around her. Her tears began to fall, one by one. She cried. without emotion, only the rise and fall of her chest indicating that she was still alive.

“Becky!” Nicholas shouted as he opened the car door and ran towards Rebecca, who did not respond to his presence at all. “Come on, let’s get out of here. If Alicia sees you like this, she will laugh at you,” Nicholas said, pulling Rebecca’s hand and helping her into. the car.

“Do you want to go home or

“I want to go somewhere where I can scream as loud as I want,” Rebecca interrupted, not taking her eyes off the window. She let her tears fall without wiping them away. Her heart was shattered; she never expected that to Harvey she was just a speck of dust to be blown away at any time.

Nicholas nodded, “I know the perfect place!”

Five minutes later, they stopped in front of an office building.

“This is my office,” Nicholas said, handing his car keys to the valet.

Rebecca said nothing; she got out of the car and followed Nicholas with a blank, expressionless face. A few people started to notice them, but she didn’t care.

“This way,” Nicholas led her to the farthest elevator. Soon, the elevator dinged, taking them to the top floor, the 54th. “You might be tempted to jump later, so I won’t let go of your hand,” Nicholas joked when they reached their destination, the rooftop.

Rebecca didn’t respond, nor did she resist. It was as if her soul no longer inhabited her body. She had idolized Harvey, loving him more than she loved herself, and when all those feelings were met with cruelty, the pain in her heart was unbearable.

“Okay, there’s no one here, you can scream as much as you want. Just pretend I’m a wall, don’t mind me,” Nicholas said, releasing Rebecca’s hand and stepping back a few feet to give her space.

Rebecca looked up; the sky was clear, in stark contrast to her cloudy mood. She took a

Rebecca straightened up, nodding slowly. “All of New Yorkers must be laughing at me, right? They must think I’m a joke…”

Nicholas snorted,

“Who cares? You’re Rebecca Harper; you can handle anything.”

Rebecca shook her head, “I’m just pretending to be strong, I don’t even know what I’ll do next,” she replied, looking up at the sky in despair.

Just take one step at a time, I’m sure everything will be fine. How about sushi for dinner?” Nicholas asked cheerfully.

Rebecca sighed deeply, “I can’t keep staying at your apartment, maybe tonight I’ll just-”

“Nonsense! You haven’t even prepared anything for this sudden divorce, so stay at my apartment as long as you want, as long as you need, I don’t mind at all,” Nicholas said. sincerely.

Rebecca looked at Nicholas, she had many questions about his sudden reappearance in her life, but her energy was drained by her overwhelming heartbreak. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Harvey and Alicia until she felt like she wanted to detach her head for a moment.

“Some people are coming, do you still want to stay here?” Nicholas asked when he heard laughter in the distance. Rebecca sighed deeply and shook her head, “No, let’s go.”

“I’ll stop by the sushi restaurant for a bit, are you okay with that?” Nicholas asked, turning at her as they were on their way to the apartment.

Rebecca nodded faintly, keeping her gaze on the window as if the busy New York street. scenery could heal her heart.

“Do you want to come in or not?” asked Nicholas as they reached the Sushi restaurant.

“I’ll wait here if you don’t mind,” Rebecca replied, opening the car window wide. “Of course not! Alright, I’ll be back in fifteen minutes!” Nicholas exclaimed cheerfully. He jumped out of the car and went into the restaurant.

Rebecca rested her chin on the car window, watching Nicholas’s back disappear behind. the restaurant door. Minutes later, suddenly, a car stopped in front of her, a luxury car that she knew very well.

Not long after, Harvey came out, followed 1 Alicia.

Rebecca felt a sharp sting in her chest that made her jolt. Her chest throbbed painfully as if a sharp knife had just landed there.

“They’re having dinner together as if nothing happened between us,” Rebecca muttered silently.

She turned away when Alicia clung lovingly to Harvey’s arm and was about to close the car window when a homeless man suddenly shocked her by singing loudly in front of her. His voice made Harvey and Alicia turn around in surprise.

Rebecca felt cornered. She couldn’t avoid Harvey’s sharp eyes staring at her. Alicia’s loud snort brought her back to reality. She turned towards Alicia and felt her chest fill with hatred and anger. She had never hated anyone so much that she wanted to pounce and tear her apart right then and there.

“Harvey, your client is waiting inside. Shall we?” Alicia said, gently touching Harvey’s cheek.

Rebecca felt an uncontrollable surge of anger “Bitch!” she hissed louder than she intended, causing Harvey and Alicia to look up in surprise.

“WHAT DID YOU SAY?” Alicia shouted, releasing her arm from Harvey’s.

“Alicia, keep it down; we’re in a public place,” Harvey said, realizing that a big scene was about to unfold.

Rebecca knew she should end everything elegantly, but she couldn’t help but vent her anger on Alicia. Not because that snake–woman had taken Harvey from her, but because she had taken an innocent fetus from her womb.

She opened the car door and jumped out, “BITCH! EVIL! Baby killer! That’s what you are!” Rebecca screamed, walking quickly and slapping Alicia hard when she wasn’t ready.

“REBECCA!” Harvey shouted, shocked.

Rebecca felt her whole body trembling. She was about to slap Alicia again, but a grip on

She snorted, wiping her tears with the back of her hand. “You and you…” she pointed at Harvey and Alicia alternately. From Alicia’s face, Rebecca knew she wanted to slap her back, but in front of Harvey, Alicia had to hold back and act like an angel.

“I will never forgive you for what happened to my baby! And you, Harvey, shame on

you…”

She spat to the ground and then bumped her shoulder hard against Alicia’s and walked away from them, leaving Nicholas’s car still running, crossing the busy street with her vision blurred by tears until suddenly a speeding car hit her, and everything went black.

“BECKY!
