When I was nine months pregnant, Simon Ferguson's first love, Mabel Fitzgerald, also got pregnant. To keep Mabel from being gossiped about, he hurriedly registered their marriage with her. My baby was labeled an illegitimate child. In the face of my tearful pleas, Simon spoke with cold indifference. "The stigma of having a child out of wedlock would ruin her. Don't make this hard for me. "If you have the baby aborted, we can keep our physical relationship." That was when I realized the love I had believed in was nothing more than a transaction to him. Later, I did as Simon wished and had the baby aborted. While he stayed by Mabel's side, I obeyed my family's wishes and married someone else. I would never see him again.
