The Baby Name His Ex Chose

Thirty-two weeks pregnant, I learned that my husband's ex had chosen our baby's name and that Magnus had already approved a silver cup engraved with her father's name.

Nobody had asked me. She arranged the nursery and the godmother book, and my husband told my employer I would not be coming back.

At his mother's family lunch, I found out he had married me for an heir and planned to leave me for her once our son was born, with a house nearby, a settlement, and only the place in our child's life they chose to allow.

I left my rings beside that cup and walked out with the baby still inside me.

Now Magnus says he loves me and wants his wife and family back, even though I still want him.

If he wants this marriage, he will have to face what he did, stand against the people he let replace me, and hear my answer even when it is no.
