Sylvia found the absurd narrative utterly laughable. She glared coldly at the weak but incredibly arrogant man on the bed and mocked him without a shred of mercy.
"First of all, Abriella is already another man's wife. For a grown adult to lie around daydreaming about someone else's spouse makes you morally bankrupt and deeply shameful, Steve. Secondly..." Her eyes turned icy and absolute, devoid of any lingering affection. "I will absolutely never remarry you!"
She lifted her wrist to check the time, her tone shifting to strict business. "In about a dozen hours, this plane will land safely in the Capital. I cannot deny that you took a fatal wound and suffered immensely on that island to save my life. But when you get right down to it, if you had not dumped me on that deserted beach just to spite and torment me, none of this would have happened in the first place. You started all of this. I have stayed awake day and night to take care of you. Once this plane lands and I hand you back to your parents in one piece, my debt will be paid. You saved my life, and I nursed you back to health. We will be entirely even."
Sylvia stood up, looking down at him from her superior vantage point, delivering her final verdict with ironclad certainty. "After we get off this plane, even if we cross paths again, I expect us to walk right past each other like complete strangers."
Listening to her absolute rejection, Steve did not explode in anger. Instead, he let out a long, heavy sigh. Hidden within that sigh was a crushing weight that Sylvia could not possibly comprehend.
Only Steve knew that he had deliberately concealed the most tragic part of his dream. He had left out the part where she had indeed gotten pregnant with his child. Just a few short months after they remarried, she developed severe, crippling depression and slit her wrists at home. Two lives were lost in an instant, leaving nothing but a floor soaked in brilliant crimson blood. He would never forget the agonizing, flesh tearing pain that ripped through his chest when he witnessed that scene in his dream.
