Devil in the Womb
The baby would taunt me now and then, as if daring me to abort him; he wanted me to act on my anger.

When Sean slid a divorce agreement across the table, I didn't beg or plead. I signed my name.
A few days after the divorce, Sean proposed to Ashley.
On the day they set the wedding date, Ashley called me.
"Natalie, I told Sean everything. Your baby isn't his. Out of pity for you, I faked the report.
"For Sean's reputation, I advise you to terminate the pregnancy. If you don't, we'll expose your infidelity in marriage and turn you into a laughingstock."
