We’ll deal with it if she dies.” He hung up without a hint of concern and went back to his cozy time with his secretary in their hotel room. He was completely unaware that the woman in critical condition at the hospital wasn’t my mom. It was his.

Half a year after our divorce, my ex-husband became a trending topic online. His current wife, who had just given birth, jumped off a building.
