All Chapters of Wife's Gift: Killing Our Child for Another Man: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Three days later, I'd finished making the funeral arrangements for my parents. When I got home, I sat on the couch and smoked one cigarette after another.Even with the lights off, I could still make out the family photo sitting on the table. My wife, Nina Sable, was gently resting a hand over her swollen belly. My parents were all smiles, their faces full of anticipation and joy.For any man, this should have been one of the happiest moments of married life.But now, the dream I once had was shattered.The moment Nina walked in through the door, she ordered, "Honey, get me a bowl of oatmeal."But when she looked up, she paused. I was lying exhausted on the couch, with a mess scattered all over the floor. The lingering smile on her face instantly turned into annoyance and disgust."Andrew, I've only been gone a few days, and this is the mess that you caused? Also, didn't I tell you how much I hate the smell of cigarettes? You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"I hadn't even

With both our parents urging us to have a child, Nina finally got pregnant.I was looking forward to the day our whole family could live happily together when I heard that Mike had come back to the country, and just like that, all those dreams were gone.When Nina quietly aborted our baby and agreed to Mike's ridiculous request, I finally understood that her feelings for him had always run deep and that she'd never forgotten him.It was almost ridiculous how happy I was when I found out Nina was pregnant.My parents had been looking forward to having a grandchild for years, and they were overjoyed when they finally got their wish.They spent almost all the savings they'd built up on taking care of Nina during her pregnancy, and they drove for hours in the dead of winter just to bring her fresh food from home.I wanted to make things easier for Nina and give our child a good life, so besides my regular job during the day, I spent whatever free time I had taking care of her or pick

Nina's face paled. Maybe my words had struck a nerve, or maybe she had never expected me to treat her this way.I ignored her attempts to stop me, got into my car, and drove away without looking back.…With my plans put on hold, I had no choice but to stay and keep working in the city for the time being.During this period, Nina called me several times, but I didn't want to talk to her. I just continued filing for divorce through my lawyer.Half a month later, my boss took me to meet one of the company's biggest clients at an upscale restaurant in the city.I never expected to run into Nina there. There she was with Mike, who was putting food on her plate. Their hands were tightly intertwined on the table, and they looked like two lovers completely smitten with each other.Nina saw me, and I caught a flash of panic in her eyes. She quickly pulled her hand away and stood up to explain."Andrew, don't get the wrong idea. We were just…"I didn't even want to hear it. I simply re

"Ms. Sable, I heard you aborted your baby for Mr. Reed's sake. Is that true?" the interviewer asked.Nina's expression stiffened, and she turned to Mike with slight panic. "Mike, did you tell them that too?"Mike looked at her with deep affection. "Yeah, you've done so much for me. I want everyone to know how amazing you've been to me."Mike's friends joined in, showering Nina with praise. They even called her a saint for saving his family's bloodline.Nina was moved to tears, her eyes turning red. "At least you guys appreciate what I've done."She looked straight into the camera with a determined expression. "The baby wasn't healthy to begin with. After discussing it with my family, I decided to terminate the pregnancy. But my husband didn't understand me, so I decided to use artificial insemination to bear a child for Mike."I didn't expect that even after I'd given in, I still couldn't earn my husband's forgiveness. Just a few days ago, I went to him and begged him to reconsid

My trust in Nina and my feelings for her slowly faded away. And what happened to our baby was the final straw."If you're worried about Mike being around, don't be. He's leaving the country soon. He'll be gone within six months at most. Happy now?" Nina straightened up, clearly nervous."If I had a choice, I'd want our baby to be born healthy too. But Mike really doesn't have much time left. He can't wait. Can't you just understand me? I'll only divorce you when I die."I almost laughed at how stubborn she was. I really couldn't take it anymore."Nina, yeah, you're pregnant. That doesn't mean I can't do anything about this. Worst case, we wait until the baby is born and get a paternity test. Once we have the results, the judge will grant the divorce anyway."With that, I turned around and walked out of the room.…My lawyer brought the new evidence we'd gathered to the second hearing. Nina finally had to admit that she was carrying Mike's baby."Your Honor, I was only trying t
