My husband and I go on a road trip back to my hometown before Christmas. I want to ride shotgun, but he chases me to the backseat so his female colleague can sit in front. He says, "Isabel gets carsick easily. You are my wife, so you should be more considerate of her." He seems to have forgotten that I'm pregnant—my morning sickness is at its peak. Halfway through the journey, he and Isabel Slater start smoking. They make me throw up. The smell disgusts them, and my husband wants to teach me a lesson. He and Isabel leave me at the rest stop. Unbeknownst to them, my family is already waiting there. This time, I'm going back with them and getting an abortion and divorce. Later, my husband is filled with regret when he learns the child is gone.

The Price of Abandonment Chapter 9
As Christmas drew to a close, I informed Mom and Dad of my decision to move back home. Having always worked as a freelancer, I'd followed Elias to his city after we got together.With no friends or family there, my life had largely revolved around him. Now, I simply wanted to stay close to Mom and Dad and spend meaningful time with them.However, I still had some important possessions left behind in my old home, so I needed to make the trip back.As soon as I arrived in my former city by train, I headed straight to a lawyer to have the divorce agreement drafted. Ending my marriage with Elias was the main reason for my visit.When I reached home and opened the door, I found Elias in the kitchen, wearing an apron and cooking. The sound of the door drew him out, and he hurried over, beaming with excitement."Renee! You're back! I heard you were coming, so I dropped everything and got on the earliest flight to surprise you. Go wash your hands. Dinner's ready, and I made all your favor

Elias glanced at the screen, then squeezed his eyes shut. He tightened his fists, guilt written all over his face."W-We were drunk, and it just happened. I never wanted this, Renee. I'll fix everything, I promise. Just give me another chance. I swear it'll never happen again," he said.I shook my head. "It's too late, Elias. I can't trust you anymore."He collapsed to the floor, his sobs echoing under the weight of the onlookers' stares. Dad delivered a swift kick before following me into the ward.Even then, Elias refused to let go, shouting after me, "Renee! Just give me time—I'll fix this!""Once a cheater, always a cheater," muttered a young nurse standing by my bed.I smiled and whispered back, "Exactly. A betrayer's heart is already rotten to the core."While I was in the hospital, Elias would sneak in late at night after Mom and Dad had fallen asleep. He'd quietly leave gifts on the bedside table—flowers, necklaces, expensive handbags.He hadn't given me anything in yea
The Price of Abandonment Chapter 7
In my chat history with Isabel, there was a voice message where she sounded smug and victorious. "Do you believe me, Renee? All it takes is one word from me, and Elias will leave you stranded at the rest area."There was also a text from last night dripping with arrogance. "Last time wasn't enough. This time, I'll make sure you understand who Elias truly cares about."It was obvious she had won. Still, I didn't feel the slightest regret about letting go of a scumbag like Elias. I pressed the call button on the panel by my hospital bed.When the nurse arrived, I told her, "Let's move forward with the abortion."Elias never returned—not even by the time I was wheeled into surgery.Meanwhile, Isabel posted on Instagram. It was a photo of two hands clasped tightly together—one of them with a mole I recognized instantly. It was Elias' hand.The caption read, "I'm your unwavering choice and the love you're not afraid to show."I quietly tapped the like button, then switched off my pho

Elias' face drained of color, his expression wounded. "Don't say such horrible things, Renee. You'll ruin our bond as husband and wife.""Is there even anything left to ruin?" I shot back with a sneer. "Your connection with Isabel seems far stronger now, doesn't it?""You're just jealous of Isabel. She's nothing more than a colleague. There's absolutely nothing between us," Elias explained.I met his lies with silence, my scornful gaze boring into him. He had no clue that my phone held countless photos of him in bed with Isabel—pictures she had purposely sent to provoke me.It wasn't just emotional betrayal. He had crossed the line physically as well. I, Renee Gladney, would never lower myself to stay with a man as filthy as him.Since I wasn't responding, Elias continued, "Isabel said she's willing to explain everything to you in person tomorrow. Just apologize when you meet her, and we can put this whole mess behind us. You're my wife. There's no reason to make things hard for h

After Elias got everyone into the car, he drove to the most secluded corner of the rest area, where they had a clear view of the main entrance.Taking out his phone, he smiled and said, "Now we'll wait for Renee to call.""Don't answer right away when she calls, Elias," Isabel said. "Let her try a
