Chapter 242 Mind Over Matter

• ELIAS'S P.O.V
• I couldn't believe this was happening to me. My ex was pregnant with my firstborn and all I could ask myself was, did she know yet? But that wasn't even the worst part of it all. No, the worst part was, in order for me to live, that child had to die. I couldn't actually choose myself over an innocent life, could I? Would I? Of course not. It wasn't the child's fault that I fucked up my life. It was mine and Zola's mother's fault. Had either of them told us about the damn rebounding curse or maybe if they had even told us of the consequences we'd face if we continued down that road, then I doubt we would've been in this situation. Not only that but, had my mother not gone and taken matters into her own hands, basically forcing Shanti and I to fuck, then maybe just maybe I wouldn't be in this predicament. The predicament of being at war over my morals in my own mind.
