Our Contract Expires With Her Betrayal
Just before the end of my shift, the last patient I see is my wife, Tracy Montgomery.
Her prenatal test report clearly states that she is three weeks pregnant. She is the mother, and the father is her lover of five years, Max Lockwood.
Calmly, I slide the report across the desk and say softly, "Congratulations. You finally got what you wanted."
Tracy pauses for a moment before frowning hard. "That's it? Are you just congratulating me? Don't you have anything else to say?"
I stare at the piece of paper and at the child who isn't mine.
I initially think I would react the way I always do, which entails throwing away my pride and causing a huge scene in front of her.
But in the end, I don't even have the strength for that anymore.
Her fingertips brush gently across her stomach as she says, "I've had my fun over the years. Once the baby is born, I'll settle down."
Hearing those words, I lift my head and meet her eyes.
I say evenly, "Tracy, our contract has expired."
