LOGINI went into labor at the same time as the woman next door. My husband took me to the hospital, but I delivered a stillborn child. Instead of comforting me, he lashed out, "Did you mess around while you were pregnant? Is that why you gave birth to such a monster?" I lost my baby, my name was dragged through the mud, and I was forced to divorce him and leave with nothing. One day, I happened to overhear my husband speaking to the neighbor: "Good thing we swapped your stillborn baby with May's healthy one. If your in‑laws had looked closely, they would have realized the dead baby was actually ours." That was when I finally understood the truth. They had been involved long before. He pushed me on purpose, causing premature labor, just so they could take my healthy baby and give me her dead one. When I confronted them, they held me down in the bathtub and drowned me. Yet when I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day I went into early labor. This time, I'll make sure she gives birth to that stillborn child. This time, I will expose them both for their affair and for what they did to me.

Rowena produced all the evidence of her affair with Sean.The story of their secret rendezvous and their conspiracy to take my child was all laid bare.Sean, of course, could not own up to it, adamantly claiming that it was all a pack of lies from Rowena.However, the evidence was staring him in the face. There was no way he could deny it.Nancy seized the moment to alert the authorities, and with the police as witnesses, a paternity test was done for Sean and the lifeless infant.The results were undeniable: the baby was Sean's.Sean was cornered, with no way out.Once the results were in, he pleaded with me, "Rowena was the one who lured me in!

I'm truly the innocent one here!"I tried to reach Nancy's heart and then laid out the facts. "The baby's gone, but what if Sean won't own up to it? If Rowena sticks to her story that Sean forced himself on her, you and Mr. Walker will have to suck it up and keep supporting her, the harlot!"I kept at it, "Let me be straight with you. The house and car? My parents bought those; Sean's got nothing to do with them. The guy hasn't worked in years, no savings to speak of.
