The Billionaire's Betrayal She Was the Only OneChapter 1
The day of my prenatal checkup, I discovered my husband had swapped my postpartum care package for a termination plan.
I was about to laugh it off as a mistake when he said, his voice perfectly even: "It's not wrong. And actually, there's something I need to come clean about."
"I've been keeping a college girl on the side. She's a sweet thing. Never asked for a title, never tried to take your place in this family."
"But she's pregnant now. I've already put her through enough. I won't let her child suffer too. I need to give that baby a legitimate birth status." I lay frozen on the ultrasound table, my voice shaking beyond my control. "So you're going to divorce me and marry her?"
He wiped the gel off my stomach, smiling as he spoke.
"What are you talking about? I told you on our wedding day, you'd be the only wife I'd ever have. Besides, your parents are gone. If we divorced, where would you even go?"
"I just want you to adopt Beryl Swanson's child. Getting rid of yours is just a precaution, really. I don't want you playing favorites down the road, neglecting the child Beryl and I have together."
