I had driven home excited and terrified, planning to tell Ryan that after eleven years, we were finally going to become parents.
Instead, I found my clothes packed in a suitcase.
Divorce papers on the table.
And his mistress sitting in my living room.
Rebecca stepped onto the patio with a poisonous smile.
“Don’t make a scene, Mariana. Ryan deserves a woman who can actually give him a family. We’ve carried this burden long enough.”
For a moment I couldn’t breathe.
I wanted to scream.
I wanted to tell them there was a baby growing inside me.
I wanted to watch the smiles disappear from their faces.
