His Homecoming Was My Nightmare
My husband's first love gets engaged. To make her regret it, he abandons me, his newlywed wife, and joins a research project down at the southern tip of the earth.
I've made 999 attempts across several years to visit him, with each one ending in failure. After five years, I stopped going.
During a lively birthday party, he suddenly shows up.
When he sees my slightly bulging belly, he howls in anger. "I spent five years at the research base, and not once did you care about how I was doing! Who's the father of the bastard child you're pregnant with?"
"It's none of your business," I calmly reply.
