Divorced With His Heir In My Belly
It was Lucy, her face pale and translucent like a ghost's, holding a bundle wrapped in Caleb's favorite blue blanket.
"He's not yours anymore, Sarah," she whispered, her voice echoing as if from the bottom of a well. "I've taken what's you're just as you've taken what's mine... We're even now." She stepped backward into an abyss, and as she fell, she let out a jagged, piercing laugh that shattered the sky.
I bolted upright in bed, my chest heaving, a cold sweat drenching my silk sheets. The room was bathed in the gray, uncertain light of 5:30 AM. My heart was a frantic drum, the phantom echo of Lucy’s laugh still ringing in my ears.
