My Unborn Heroes
Sean Freeman had been secretly listening to me.
I curled up under the blanket, buried my face into the pillow, and let soft, broken sobs escape.
This time, I didn't need to pretend. The fear and panic were real.
I was Sean's disposable kept woman. I had always known that.
'Mommy, stop thinking. He's coming back,' Caleb warned.
'Act! Mommy! Show him that you're a delicate woman who can break at any moment!' Lily cheered me on.
I immediately pulled myself together. I forced the tears to gather in my eyes and let them linger without falling.
