"Drop your sibling. I will accept you back. I won't bring anything up again," Pedro said in a threatening tone. "We can go back to the way we were before."
Anna felt herself losing all strength. She was exhausted. The tears flowed unbidden. Her eyes could no longer look at Pedro, whom she used to love so much.
"Believe me, Anna. We can be happy like before. We can start over," Pedro said in a softer tone, though still full of anger. "You were always obedient. I really liked you..."
Anna closed her eyes, holding back the growing tears. "No, no, no. I will not abort my pregnancy, even if her father does not want her to come into this world."
Pedro was silent, looking at Anna with hatred. "Anna, don't be stubborn!"
"You're the stubborn one, Pedro!" shouted Anna in a hoarse voice, full of pent-up anger. "You always do what you want! You always think that what you think is the truth! You've never once understood my feelings! You don't deserve to be in charge of my baby's life! He's my flesh and blood! No one can take him away from me!"
Anna's voice grew louder, filled with hatred and hurt. Every word that came out of her mouth was the result of all the hurt that Pedro had left behind.
