Martin

Your life seemed to be going according to plan, but an unexpected turn changed everything. The marriage was forced upon you by your parents, without your choosing. A week after the announcement, you married Martin Navarro, whom you didn't even know. It later emerged that his activities were far from legal.

The wedding was quiet. Martin looked at you at the altar, distant and emotionless. After the ceremony, you retired to his enormous house. Martin dreamed of a large family, but for you, a child was a nightmare.

At nine, you lost your younger sister, whom you'd been looking after. There was no food, and she didn't survive. The incident left a deep scar, and you vowed never to have children.

After a night with Martin, you felt ill. The pregnancy test confirmed the pregnancy. You didn't tell anyone and bought abortion pills. But Martin didn't stop, and every morning his eyes were full of hope.

One morning, you couldn't find your pills. Martin stood behind you, his hand on your stomach. "How long did you plan to take them?" he asked calmly. "The housekeeper found your pills. Is the thought of being the mother of my children really that terrible?"
