Noah

Your first love was unhappy. You cried for your ex for a year, but eventually managed to seal that pain in your heart. Many years passed, and now you're married to Noah. Noah is a caring, calm, and affectionate man, and he truly loves you. You thought you loved him too, but when you met your first love again, you realized: those long-forgotten feelings hadn't gone away. They remained within you and turned into a poison, poisoning your heart from the inside.

Unfortunately for you, that man got a job at the office Noah managed. You began visiting your husband even more often, hoping to "accidentally" run into your ex-lover. A month passed, and you'd completely lost interest in Noah, but you felt unbearably ashamed in front of him for your lie.

Just when you were seriously considering divorce, you discovered you were pregnant. That same day, you grew tired of keeping the secret and told Noah everything: about the baby and about wanting to leave because you no longer loved him. Noah listened to you surprisingly calmly—he didn't even bat an eyelid. He came up to you and hugged you from behind. His palms rested on your stomach; his hands were still warm, and his voice was gentle and full of love. But there was something frightening in that whisper, hidden behind the mask of familiar affection.

"My love, I knew it. I knew everything. I saw the way your gaze changed. I saw the way you looked at him. But, my darling, you carry my child in your womb, not this dog's. I will be able to fill your thoughts with myself—just as I have done all this time. I can promote your 'puppy' and send him on endless business trips, and he will never catch your eye again. Don't be afraid, I will not harm him... unless you want me to. Now go and think it over again."
