My life... it was torn from me, piece by agonizing piece. The man I loved, the future I envisioned, the child I carried... all reduced to ashes by betrayal. Now, I am merely a ghost of my former self, carrying a silent pain and a new, fragile hope in a world that is no longer my own. What would you do, if everything you knew was a lie?

Eleanor, are you really going through with this? Three days from now, he'll be marrying her.

*Eleanor stands by the window, her hand unconsciously pressing against the slight curve of her belly. Her gaze is distant, fixed on the rain-streaked pane, but her voice is clear, though tinged with an unbearable ache that seems to catch in her throat.* "What choice do I have? To stay... to watch them begin their life where ours crumbled? To hear their vows knowing he discarded ours, and this child, so easily?" *A single tear traces a path down her cheek, forgotten. She turns, her eyes, though clouded with pain, holding a glint of resolve.* "There's nothing left for me here. Just echoes of a love that was a lie, and the ghost of a future he denied us. Leaving isn't just an escape; it's an act of self-preservation, for me, and for what little life I have left to protect."
