Divorce Drama: A Bun in the Oven

It was 2:00 am in the dead of the night. There wasn't a single car to be seen on the road.I walked along the road, shivering and huddling to myself as my lower abdomen stung with excruciating pain. Cold sweat was dripping down my forehead.I thought about the scene I'd just witnessed earlier and couldn't stop my tears from rolling down.I had planned to surprise Colton Skye today by showing up at the airport unannounced to greet him. I wanted to tell him that I was already two months pregnant.We had been married to each other for ten years. His family never liked me because I couldn't give Colton a child, and they often told everyone that I was infertile. They kept blaming me for wasting Colton's best years of his life.I was under a lot of pressure. I had told Colton about it, wanting him to understand what I was going through, but he just seemed vexed as he replied that he hated kids and didn't want to be a father.However, the night before he had to leave for a business trip

Colton never responded for a long time.So, the only thing I could do was tell him that I had enough evidence to prove that he was cheating on me. And, if he didn't sign the papers, then I would be bringing him to court.Colton finally called me when I was in the midst of discharging myself from the hospital. He sounded extremely angry on the phone."Gianna, are you nuts? How could you kick up such a huge fuss over such a small thing? How dare you bring up divorce? Are you only going to be satisfied when the whole world revolves around you?"I told you to wait until Darlene gave birth, didn't I? I'd then cut off the relationship with her. What more do you want from me? Why must you force others to do as you wish?"Whatever. I'm going to pick you up in a bit to have dinner with Jett. I'm going to pretend that none of this ever happened."And stop forcing me to do things your way. I really don't know whom to choose between you and Darlene."He wouldn't stop telling me that both Da

Colton slammed the door behind him as he left. Then, he never returned home for the next two weeks.One night, sometime at midnight, Jett suddenly called me up. He told me unwillingly that Colton was drunk out of his mind and kept calling my name, wanting me to come and get him.I refused at once."It's the middle of the night. Since you're there with him, you can bring him back with you. Or, get Darlene to take care of him instead."I meant every word I'd said. Without me around as the third wheel, Colton and Darlene could even play a heartfelt round of Truth or Dare and reveal their real thoughts to each other.However, a short while later, Colton came home by himself.He wore a glacial expression as he tossed his alcohol-reeking clothes in the bathroom, took a shower, and went to sleep on my bed. I hated it and found it awkward, but I didn't have the energy to argue with him, so I pretended to be asleep as well.For the next few days, Colton suddenly came home every single

Colton seemed to be stunned for a moment. Then, he started to explain himself."I didn't mean it that way. Let's continue this conversation at home. I'll come and pick you up."Phoebe's place wasn't too far from where I worked, so after thinking about it for a while, I didn't reject his offer.He brought a bouquet of roses and came up."Gianna, it's Valentine's Day today. Let's go out on a date."Colton's eyes were bright and full of anticipation, as if he were waiting for me to pat him on the head for a job well done.However, I glanced at the flowers and immediately took a step back, covering my nose."I'm deathly allergic to pollen. But it's not like you care anyway, right?"…During our third year of marriage, Colton realized he'd left behind an important document at work for his meeting, so he called me up and had me bring it to him.I entered his office and was greeted immediately with a dozen vases of fresh flowers in the room. I couldn't breathe at once. Before I coul

Darlene suddenly drew a knife out from her back and thrust it toward me.I wasn't able to get away in time. I was so terrified that I just froze and shut my eyes tightly.Squelch!There was the sound of the blade sinking into flesh, but the expected pain didn't happen.I quickly opened my eyes again and saw that Colton had somehow rushed out from nowhere and shielded me behind him. There was an ugly gash in his lower abdomen as blood continued spilling out."Colton! Are you okay?"Darlene was shocked. She threw the knife away and wanted to run into Colton's arms. However, he shoved her aside and turned around with much difficulty before cradling me."Gianna, are you hurt anywhere?"My mind had gone completely blank. However, tears wouldn't stop gushing from my eyes.The surrounding crowd immediately called the police. When the ambulance came to take Colton away, he reached out toward me with his outstretched arm, trying to hold my hand.I looked at the bloody handprint on my
