He Chose His Ex Over His Pregnant Wife (From Grovel to Redemption #3)

At nine centimeters dilated, I begged my husband not to leave me for his pregnant ex-fiancée.

He walked out anyway.

HEIDI

For eight months, Celeste has called my husband whenever she needs rescuing. Beau insists he is only helping an old friend.

Then I discover the secret calls. The hidden lunches. The ultrasound appointment he lied to attend.

Still, nothing prepares me for what he does during my labor.

Celeste calls from another hospital. Her sister, doula, and baby’s father are all coming. I am nine centimeters dilated, gripping Beau’s hand and begging him to stay.

He kisses my forehead and chooses her.

Our daughter is born with my brother beside me while Beau holds Celeste across town. Then a photograph goes public. His arms are around her, and her caption calls it a private family moment.

I send him out of our home before he ever holds our baby.

Then I read the messages.

Eight months of private jokes, late-night calls, and stolen pieces of my pregnancy. Beau gave Celeste my medical details, our daughter’s possible name, and a secret place inside our marriage.

Now he wants another chance.

I still love him.

That may be the most dangerous part.

BEAU

I never kissed Celeste. I never slept with her.

I still betrayed my wife.

Our daughter was born while I ignored the calls vibrating in my pocket.

Heidi does not need money, flowers, or another excuse. She needs the whole truth, especially the parts that make me hardest to forgive.

So I will confess publicly. Accept the damage to my company and my name. Learn my daughter on Heidi’s terms. Respect every boundary she sets.

Then I will prove, one choice at a time, that I finally understand how a husband stays.

But Celeste is not finished exposing our marriage.

And Heidi may never trust me when it matters again.
