Love's Bitter Price
After I discovered I was pregnant, I slammed the pregnancy test report down in front of my playboy boyfriend.
Alan Rivers lit a cigarette and blew smoke rings at me, his tone casual and cruel. "Seeing as you've kept me company for seven years, I'll give you two choices.
"First, you can abort the baby. I'll compensate you with a million dollars, and you can stay by my side. Second, keep it, take the kid, and disappear. The farther, the better."
Why did I have to choose? I wanted both, so I took the million dollars and vanished from his world without a trace.
