FINDING ELENA
I sat where he told me to, spoke only when spoken to, pretending to sip my wine.
Across the room, Brad leaned into a beautiful blonde, his grin a little too wide. Her manicured hand lingered on his arm as she whispered something.
I looked away, pretending to find something interesting on my plate.
When I finally looked back at him, his eyes caught mine with his warning smile.
I forced a smile and went back to being invisible.
Of course, Brad didn't know I was pregnant again. Not yet. And he won't.
This time, I was going to save my baby. I only needed two weeks to be ready, so I endured this humiliation.
