In “Broken Innocence” by Artemisia, the protagonist faces a heartbreaking revelation as she timidly announces her pregnancy, caressing her flat belly in the hope that he will be happy to hear the news. Expecting joy, she is instead met with a cold and callous response as he nonchalantly demands, “Abort it.” His indifference cuts deep, leaving her in tears as she pleads, “It’s my first baby. I want to give birth to this baby.” His chilling reply, “I have told my decision already. You can never have my baby,” shatters her hopes. Desperate, she tightens her hold on her belly and begs, “Why can’t I have it? Please, let me have it.” But his reaction is violent, banging his palm on the table and dragging her toward the staircase with a menacing threat, “Just one push and the result will be the same. Mistresses are for pleasure, not for bearing children. So, don’t forget your place.”
