Regret 36

I knew that first loves leave a deep mark, so when Rachel asked me for money, I gave
it to her again and again.
Rachel always promised she’d leave after getting the money, only to turn around and
cry to Jackson, saying I was trying to buy her off.
Eventually, Jackson stopped pretending and brought Rachel right in front of me.
“You’re the one who drove Rachel away back then. You need to atone for that,
Jenna! How dare you flaunt your power in front of her!”
For some reason, he believed it was me who had forced Rachel to leave, tearing
them apart.
Rachel, with tears in her eyes, said, “Jenna, I’m not asking for much. Why can’t you
just accept me?”
Jackson angrily shoved me aside, sn***hing the amulet from my hand.
The amulet wasn’t worth much, its metal darkened with age.
When it fell to the ground, no one bothered to pick it up.
But Rachel kept asking for it, over and over again, even going so far as to kneel and
beg me for it.

our unborn child.
Back then, the company was at a critical stage, and Rachel hadn’t returned to the
country yet.
After an all-night work session, I collapsed, and when I opened my eyes, I saw
Jackson sitting by my side, his eyes red from crying.
He held the amulet tightly in his hand, gently kissed my forehead, and said, “Baby,
we’re going to have a baby. I swear I’ll take care of both of you for the rest of my life.”
I believed him.
It felt like a dream, too good to be true.
But that dream ended one rainy night when I lost the baby.
A stranger had pushed me down in an alley.
There were no security cameras, no one to blame for the loss.

Now, the amulet was crushed beneath Rachel’s heel, and I stared at her, my anger
boiling over.
Like a furious lioness, I lunged at her and slapped her hard across the face.
Rachel covered her face, crying pitifully. “Jackson, Jenna would rather destroy it than
give it to me. Maybe I should just leave…”
Jackson’s face turned dark, and he shoved me hard. “Jenna, I didn’t know you were
so petty! It’s just a ***d amulet!”
