On the day of my divorce, my ex-mother-in-law updates her social media with a photo. It's my husband's mistress' ultrasound—she's pregnant. Their friends and family congratulate her. Meanwhile, I share a premarital medical report. It belongs to her son, Owen Wade. It also clearly indicates he has congenital necrospermia. There's no way I'll want a man who can't have kids!

Mildred was rushed to the hospital, and luckily, the doctors managed to save her. But they found a tumor in her brain.Owen had spent every last cent he had on her treatment. The hospital had just demanded another 8,000 dollars, and he couldn't afford it.I watched him crouching on the ground, crying.I wanted to feel sorry for him and Mildred and to step in and help, especially since 8,000 dollars was nothing to me now. But I just couldn't bring myself to be that generous.Mildred and Owen hated me. They tore me down and crushed my pride.What happened to them now was karma at work. Mildred's health declined because of her anger, and Owen's family fell apart. What did any of that have to do with me?I turned and walked away.Owen grabbed my leg and fell to his knees with a thud. "Please, Ellie. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have cheated on you. I know I was wrong. I really do. Please forgive me. Please save my mom!"I kicked him off. "She's your mom, not mine."I'd barely ta

I nodded in response. "Yeah, it's me. What's the problem?"I grabbed a pack of pads and headed to the checkout, but Serena came charging at me like a shrew. She yanked my hair from behind and screamed, "You shameless bitch! You've ruined my family! You should just die!"I pulled her hand off my hair, and a few strands got caught in her grip. I ran my fingers through my hair to fix it before slapping her hard."If anyone's wrecking families, it's you! And if anyone deserves to die, it's you! Do you actually believe I won't hit you just because you're pregnant? Look at the cameras above you. This is self-defense!" I snapped.Her bloodshot eyes widened with rage, and her face twisted into a horrible snarl. She clutched her cheek and hissed through gritted teeth, "You dirty bitch… I swear, I'll kill you!"A chill ran through me, and I instinctively stepped back.Suddenly, Serena grabbed a bottle and splashed whatever was inside at me. I didn't react fast enough, but luckily, someone

When Rachel returned, I showed her the video. She took a sip of her drink, completely unfazed."I saw her just now," she said. "She was right next to me, grinding all over that guy, even with a baby bump. Couldn't get any trashier than that."I raised an eyebrow at her, and she immediately picked up on it. "Wait, don't tell me that's the mistress of your ex cheated with, huh?"I gave her a thumbs-up.Rachel perked up. She grabbed my phone and sent the video to herself. I asked what she was up to, and she held up her phone. She'd actually sent it to Owen!Back in college, the three of us were always hanging out. Even then, Rachel couldn't stand Owen and said he looked like a total jerk. Looking back, she was right. Owen cheated on me and also got cheated on himself.Rachel and I sat at the bar, waiting for the drama to go down. Sure enough, it didn't take long before Owen stormed in and dragged Serena toward the door.Rachel slipped the DJ some cash, and suddenly, the music cut o

The staff here knew Cromwell Group owned the restaurant and the Cromwells were here for a family dinner to celebrate my return.Serena's mother stormed up to the security guard and shoved him. "Do you want to get fired? Why haven't you kicked her out yet? Don't make me report you!"I raised an eyebrow and smiled at the guard."Miss, would you like me to remove them?" he asked.Mildred jumped in, thinking it was directed at her. "Get rid of her already! She's such an eyesore."I nodded. "Exactly, get them out of here. They're ruining the vibe."The guard called for backup, and before long, three more guards arrived. They took Mildred and Serena's mother by the arms and escorted them out.Mildred and Serena's mother didn't see this coming and began yelling Owen's name as loud as they could.Less than two minutes later, Owen came running out, looking confused and shocked. "Paige? What are you guys doing? Let go of my mom!"I waved and said, "Sorry, but I'm not Paige. My real name

"You never used to be this harsh," Owen said, his face twisted like he'd been stung.Serena yanked on his arm and muttered, "Know your place."I felt like I'd just heard the dumbest thing. "So, what do you want me to say? Should I beg you to stay? Or tell you to get over someone who's been cheating on you?"Owen's face soured as if he'd just bitten into something gross.That was when I realized he had already found out he was infertile but kept claiming the baby was his just to shut everyone up.Unbelievable."Watch your mouth, Paige," Serena hissed, her face contorted in anger. "You still have feelings for my husband, don't you? And now you're trying to pit us against each other."A small crowd gathered around us, gossiping in whispers. Some were pointing at me, calling me a homewrecker, and accusing me of trying to break up the couple.I shot Serena a cold, withering look. "What kind of wild delusions are you having? Why would I waste my time chasing after a guy who cheated o

Owen also posted a picture on Instagram of himself kissing Serena's pregnant belly. His caption read, "I'm going to be a dad!"I laughed, pulled out the medical examination report from my bag, took a picture of it, and sent it to the group chat.Then, I posted it on Instagram with the caption, "I'm not sticking around for a guy who can't have kids. I'm an only child, so yeah."After I left the group chat, Owen wouldn't stop calling me on WhatsApp and my phone. I didn't even bother checking and blocked him right away.…I'd been focused on getting back to work for two months after the divorce.One morning, Mom stopped by. She gently stroked my hair, sounding worried as she said, "I've got you a spa appointment this afternoon, Elle. You need to relax. Don't burn yourself out."I paused, realizing that ever since my last marriage, I'd been stuck in a routine of housework, with no time for myself or to really live.My eyes started to well up. "Okay. Thanks, Mom."Was that what it

I wiped away the tears and laughed.Mildred looked taken aback. "W-Why are you laughing?"My eyes landed on Owen's signature on the divorce agreement. It was scribbled like he was in a rush to get it over with.Then, I shot her a cold look. "Why am I laughing? Because I'm walking away from a family like yours. Honestly, I'm doing you a favor by not going all out with fireworks to celebrate."When Owen proposed, he promised to love me forever, protect me, and give me a happy family. But in the end, he treated me like dirt!Mildred's anger flared up and she pointed at me. "Say that again, I dare you!"I swatted her hand away. "You're not my mom, and I'm done with this. Do you want me to sign it or not?"She went silent and dropped her hand, probably afraid I'd refuse to sign.I grabbed a pen, signed the divorce agreement, and looked her straight in the eye. "Tell Owen to get back here. We're finalizing the divorce now."Mildred didn't expect me to agree so easily. Her tone softe

I stepped out of the car and finally saw the woman's face. It was Owen's second cousin, Serena Lambert. But I couldn't make sense of it. Why would Owen be with her at a prenatal checkup?I was just about to head into the hospital to figure things out when my phone went off. I checked the screen and saw a call from the police station."Hello, is this Paige Zeller?" an officer asked."Yes, this is Paige. What's this about?""After going over your recent medical examination report, we found that your blood type matches a missing girl's. She's been gone for years, and the match is 99%. Do you have time to visit and discuss this?"My heart skipped a beat. I pushed thoughts of Owen and Serena aside and headed straight for the police station.Before Grandma passed away, she told me we weren't related by blood. She found me on her way home from the city, where she'd gone to get medicine. She didn't have anyone else, so she brought me home.Grandma also gave me a pendant. She said it was

Mildred marched into our room, her words hitting hard. "I told you not to marry her, didn't I? And now look—it's barely been any time since the wedding, and she's already trying to walk all over me."Owen shoved her out and said, "Enough, Mom. You've said enough. I'll take care of it."Then, he grabbed a tissue and wiped my tears away, saying, "You know Mom's getting up there in age, Paige, and with her heart condition, she can't handle all this stress. You're always understanding—shouldn't you be the bigger person here? Go apologize to her, okay?"He took advantage of my softer side, knowing I wouldn't stay mad at Mildred. With his smooth talking, he had me going to apologize to her.What he didn't see was that the more I gave in, the more Mildred trampled over me.…One night, my period started in the middle of the night, leaving stains on the sheets and my pajamas.I got up, stripped off my pajamas, and tossed them and the sheets in the bathroom, figuring it was too late to d

I was barely getting by, and the best I could afford was renting a place in a half-finished building.Owen and I worked at the same company, and he'd drive me home after work every day. He'd always get me a little something on holidays, and even if he couldn't swing that, he'd at least take me out for tacos.I grew up without parents, money, or connections—just Grandma to lean on.
