First Marriage Failed, Second Marriage was SweetChapter 1
The fake heiress, June Fox, pushed me down the stairs while I was pregnant.
I collapsed in a pool of my own blood, feeling the life inside me slipping away, tears streaming from the pain.
And my husband, Patrick Harding, was wiping the tears of the woman trembling in his arms, murmuring soft words of comfort.
"Don't look. It's ugly. Are you hurt anywhere?"
Because the best window for emergency treatment was missed, I could never carry a child again.
Patrick shrugged it off like it was nothing.
"So you can't have kids. It's not like you're dying."
From the day we started dating, through our wedding, to now, eight full years. He knew better than anyone how much I loved children.
And he had stripped me of the right to ever be a mother.
Three days later, I stumbled home in a daze.
On the master bedroom sheets, there was a half-dried stain. It was obvious. They'd had sex in my marriage bed.
I shut the bedroom door. Something inside me went quiet for good. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in years. "I agree. I'll honor our arrangement.Leave him and marry you."
