"I lost the baby."

You sat waiting in the sterile office of NJPW for Minoru Suzuki to appear. You were shocked at how much things had changed for you in the just the past few weeks. Three weeks ago, you were welcomed and greeted with respect. Everyone knew you were with Minoru and treated you accordingly. No one would dare disrespect you, lest they deal with his wrath. You had revealed in the attention, loving dating one of the most feared men in the company, walking around with your head held high as if you owned the place.

A shiver racked through your body as the cold air conditioner once again kicked on. You were already freezing, hugging Minoru's oversized grey sweatshirt to your body as you huddled in on yourself. The hood was pulled up over your unkempt hair and you had to hold your lips together tightly to keep them from trembling. You didn't know if it was really that cold in there, or if the emptiness inside you was making you feel this way.

Ever since you had told Minoru you were pregnant, you had become persona non grata around here. Minoru had just given you a cold glance when you shared the exciting news and told you to "take care of it" and not to return. You had numbly left his hotel room, driving home in a daze. You didn't understand his reaction, but wrote it off to shock. You gave him a few days before attempting to contact him. All of your calls were ignored, so you tried to get in to see him at one of the arenas, only to be told you were no longer welcome. Your heart had broken realizing Minoru no longer wanted anything to do with you. You had thought he loved you, but as soon as he found out you were pregnant you had been shut out of his life completely. You knew he wanted you to have an abortion, but you couldn't bring yourself to do that. You had fallen in love with the baby as soon as you held the positive test in your hand. So you decided to move on and leave Minoru to lead his life as he wanted, hoping once the child was born his mind would change.

But now you were sitting here, all alone, in a closed off office waiting for Minoru to decide to grace you with his presence. You felt he had a right to know what had happened, holding out hope that he would regret his actions and maybe you could get back to where you were before. You had begged and pleaded with the NJPW officials to arrange a meeting for you with Minoru and they had finally relented, arranging for you to have a few minutes with him today.

"What are you doing here?" Minoru's gruff voice made you start. You hadn't even heard the door open, you had been so lost in your thoughts. You faced the man you loved, searching his face for any signs of returned affection. Tears once again began filling your eyes as you saw nothing but coldness in his eyes.

"I needed to see you." You began, before he cut you off with a raised hand.

"I didn't want to see you. I told you that the last time we spoke." He said sharply.

"I lost the baby." You burst out, tears sliding down your cheeks. "Three days ago....I had a miscarriage." You lowered your head, grieving the loss of the child that had just begun to grow in you.

"Good." Minoru said bluntly making your head jerk up in shock. You couldn't believe you heard him correctly. There was no way he said what you thought he did.

"Excuse me?" You asked, shaking your head to clear it.

"You heard me. I told you to take care of it weeks ago. You should have done so then instead of letting nature take its course." He responded.

"I can't believe you." You said staring at him as if seeing him for the first time. "That was your child! A part of you!" Your voice raised as anger rushed through you. Anger for yourself and for the child who never had a chance.

"A child I never wanted. I wanted you, not a baby!" He spat back.

"You know what Minrou, you can go to hell." You snapped, grabbing your purse and pushing past him, slamming the door in your wake.
