Betrayed

The day I saw two pink lines on a pregnancy test, I believed for the first time in three years that my marriage could still be saved.I wanted to give my husband the one piece of news that might make me forgive his coldness, the humiliation, and the silence across the breakfast table.

But at Adrian’s charity gala, I realized there had been another woman in our marriage for a long time, while I had been assigned the role of the beautiful, obedient, disposable wife.That night, everything I believed in shattered so violently that the woman I used to be died along with my love for him.

And if I once begged Adrian to choose me, now I will have to choose myself.
