LOVE HIS ENEMY: My Husband's Downfall
The door shuts behind her, leaving me and eric alone with the deafening silence and my pounding heart.
Then, Eric’s voice explodes through the quiet, his phone pressed tightly to his ear.
"She's alive, Dad!" His voice cracks with raw emotion. "She's alive!"
I freeze.
Eric lowers the phone slowly, his fingers trembling, and turns to face me. A wide grin stretches across his face, pure relief radiating from him like a beacon.
For a moment, I just stare at him, the words echoing in my mind.
She's alive.
Relief crashes over me, so sudden and powerful it nearly knocks me off balance. My knees threaten to give out, and I grip the edge of my desk to steady myself.
