No Longer Starving for Anyone Chapter 10
Six months later, I was eating three regular meals a day again.Every now and then, Jaylin still kept an eye on me. "Don't just drink coffee. What did you have for breakfast?"I'd pull a sandwich out of my bag to show her.I used to think having someone control what I ate was terrifying. Only later did I realize that the truly terrifying thing wasn't someone reminding you to eat. It was someone using food to punish you.Gracie's studio eventually shut down. She deleted every article involving me and issued a public apology.I never bothered to find out where she'd gone afterward.Greyson rarely contacted me either. He sent only one message a month: [How have you been feeling lately?]I never replied.At the company's annual physical, the last item on the list was a weigh-in.When it was my turn, I stood in front of the digital scale, suddenly unable to make my feet move.The nurse looked up. "Is something wrong?"I took several deep breaths. "I'm fine."I took off my shoes

The night I received the job offer, Greyson signed the divorce papers. When he handed the documents to the lawyer, he couldn't seem to let go."I have one more question. If our second baby were still alive, would you still divorce me?"The room fell silent for a few seconds.I nodded. "Yes."The last glimmer of hope in his eyes went out. "Why?"I suddenly remembered that night at the police station.Twenty dollars. Half a burger left uneaten. And his words: "Two nights in a cell might do her some good.""Because I'd already become afraid of you before anything happened to the baby."Greyson's expression stiffened. "Afraid of me?"I nodded with a bitter smile. "Afraid of stepping on a scale. Afraid of eating. Afraid my bank card would suddenly stop working."Afraid that if I gained a pound today, I wouldn't have money to buy anything tomorrow."Most of all, I was afraid that one day I'd get so hungry I couldn't stand it anymore, and you'd accuse me of giving in to my piggish

Gracie's article was taken down the next day.I submitted the screenshots and my medical records to the platform and filed a formal complaint.Her studio wasn't licensed to provide medical services, yet she'd been advertising pregnancy weight-loss programs and promoting carbohydrate restriction to control weight for a long time.Before long, several other pregnant women began leaving comments.One said she'd been told to do cardio on an empty stomach.Another said she'd been advised to eat only two meals a day because she'd been gaining weight too quickly.Gracie started calling me, but I didn't answer a single call.Then she showed up outside Jaylin's building and confronted me."Alana, are you determined to drive me to my grave?" She took off her sunglasses. The injury she'd claimed would disfigure her face had faded to a faint red mark.I looked at her. "Aren't you the expert at controlling things? Then why don't you try controlling your emotions?"Gracie's face turned liv

Two days later, Jaylin handed me her phone. "Take a look at this."There was an article from six months earlier on Gracie's studio's social media account.The headline read: [Uncontrolled Pregnancy Weight Gain Isn't the Problem. The Real Challenge Is Getting Family Members to Be Tough.]The photos didn't show the woman's face, but I recognized myself at a glance. I was wearing the gray pajamas I'd had on when I was four months pregnant.Beside the photo was a chart of my weight, from 110 pounds to 127, then 136.2.The article said: [Case A: Poor self-control. Frequently requests additional meals, claiming the fetus needs more nutrition.][After eliminating carbohydrates at dinner, increasing daily steps, and imposing financial restrictions through family members, her rate of weight gain dropped significantly.]I stared at the screen for a long time, my hands shaking so badly I could barely hold the phone.Those days when I'd been so ashamed of myself that I couldn't bear to loo

Jaylin took me back to her place.By the time we had driven a long way from the hospital, I realized Greyson was still standing outside the entrance.Jaylin glanced in the rearview mirror. "Are you really going through with the divorce?"I rested my hand on my now-flat stomach. "Both of my babies have already made the decision for me."Jaylin didn't try to talk me out of it again.For the next few days, I threw up everything I ate.It wasn't because my stomach couldn't handle the food. Every time I took another bite, Greyson's voice echoed in my head. "Too greasy. No carbs. You've gained weight again."When Jaylin saw me drinking only half a bowl of broth, she slammed her cutlery onto the table in anger. "Alana, you don't need anyone's permission to eat anymore."I sat there stunned for a long time before finally picking up my spoon again.On the sixth day, Greyson showed up.When I opened the door, his eyes immediately fell on the bowl of homemade beef broth on the table. Hi

I looked at him and lowered my head to touch my stomach, which had already flattened. "The baby is gone."All the color drained from Greyson's face. "What do you mean, gone?"He rushed toward me in a few strides. "Alana, did you get an abortion?"I stared at him for two seconds before suddenly bursting out laughing. But as I laughed, tears began streaming down my face."Didn't you keep complaining that I was fat? Well, there you go. I've lost more than ten pounds all at once."Greyson reached out to grab me.The nurse immediately stepped between us. "Sir, she just had an induced delivery. Don't touch her."Greyson looked at her in disbelief. "Induced delivery?"The nurse frowned. "She suffered a placental abruption and was already hemorrhaging heavily when she arrived. We couldn't save the baby."On top of that, she'd been severely undernourished for a prolonged period and was seriously anemic. She also had obvious bruising from an impact injury."Greyson went completely rigi
