All Chapters of Loving Him With Pain : Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

Katie leaned against the cold bathroom wall, the taste of bile still lingering in her mouth. Her body trembled as she tried to steady her breathing. The nausea was relentless, and every movement felt like a battle against her own body. She wiped her mouth with a trembling hand and forced herself to her feet, clutching the sink for support. In the mirror, her reflection stared back at her—pale, with dark circles under her eyes, and a weariness that went far deeper than physical illness. She placed a hand over her stomach. It had been weeks since she first noticed the changes, but the signs were undeniable now. Something wasn’t right. “Is this a punishment?” she whispered to herself. The moon goddess didn’t need to say it outright; Katie already felt it in her bones—a reminder of every mistake she’d ever made.

The door slammed shut behind them with a force that made her jump, the sound reverberating in the confined space. Jerome released her hand, and Katie instinctively pulled it close to her chest, wincing as she noticed the faint red marks left by his grip. Jerome’s gaze flicked down to her hand, and for a fleeting moment, his expression softened. He looked almost regretful, but the moment passed quickly. Without a word, he turned and strode across the room, heading straight for a wooden cupboard.
