Megan's POV“I’m sorry, Ma'am. You can no longer bear a child,” the doctor announced, adjusting his glasses on his pointed nostrils.My heart slammed against my rib cage, my breathing hitching. His words echoed in my head, my lips trembling. It couldn't be possible. There was no way I was barren. Richard and I had longed to have a baby, and this? This wasn't expected.I tried to piece the fragments of the words the doctor said, but it made no sense. None of the words he said did. Sweat trickled down my temples. I tried to speak, but the words got stuck in my throat.“Doctor, I think something's wrong with the report. I can't be barren,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper.My vision blurred, and I fought hard to restrain the tears that threatened to escape. The beeping of the machines was muffled in my ears; all I could hear was the loud beating of my heart.“There’s nothing we can do, ma'am.

Fear settled in my bones, cold and making my bones stuck to the ground. How did he have this power over me just by stepping into my space? My room.I hated how weak I felt. His piercing eyes locked deep into mine, stripping me bare under his gaze, taking every detail of my body as his eyes roamed around my body.It was supposed to mean nothing, just a mistake, a night I could forget, a happy memory to keep.But the weight of it sat heavy in my chest, making it hard to breathe.
