Willow called the cops and got everyone
arrested.
Since I wasn’t really hurt, they would just get
locked up for a couple of days.
But it didn’t stop there.
The Hollywood companies beard about th
The Hollywood companies heard about this
and found out that Ashley and Chad messed
with Willow and me.
The sponsors dropped them, their movies got
taken off the shelves, and they were scrubbed
from social media.
They were getting blacklisted.
Under the pressure, the two of them quickly
ran out of money.
They got divorced.
I was trapped at home, writing love letters for
days.
Willow also wanted me to tell her about
Ashley.
But it’s been so long, how was I supposed to
remember?
Twenty years had gone by, and it felt like
another life.
One day, I was going out to eat, and I ran into
Ashley.
く
It’s only been three months, but she wasn’t
looking so hot anymore.
“Honey…”
She looked down, struggling to say it.
She barely called me that last time.
I ordered easily, and she kept staring at me.
I could see in her eyes the love I never had
last time.
But I already had someone I loved now. It was
too late.
“Honey, I’m sorry. I know I messed up.”
But I didn’t react.
“You didn’t mess up with me, but I’m not
gonna forgive you.”
“You know, I was gonna tell you that we were
gonna have a baby.”
“But then you left.”
She froze.
“What? Why didn’t you say anything? If I
knew…”
She started crying.
She had trouble getting pregnant, and she
and Chad weren’t able to have kids either.
Chad even beat her and took out his work
frustration on her.
Last time, my kid’s life ended the night Ashley
burned the house.
Ashley looked at me, freaking out. She tried
to grab my hand, but she couldn’t.
She had a ton of reasons to try to get back
together, but she couldn’t say anything.
“Maybe you can’t have kids now ‘cause of
what happened with our little one.”
“It’s too bad, he never even saw the world.”
“Don’t try to find me. We’re done.”
I always looked bummed out when I was with
Ashley.
I was working to give her a good life.
I was always happy when I talked to her,
hoping she would say something nice, but I
く
always got let down.
I was done with that.
