His Ex-Wife’s Second Pregnancy Left Mr. Powell in Tears
For three years of marriage, Mark Powell had a talent for one thing—twisting the knife in Lisa Simpson’s heart.
His parents never approved of her. Her mentor had been disappointed in her. Still, Lisa kept believing that if she loved him enough, if she gave him everything she had, she could warm his heart.
It took her three years to realize the truth. The woman Mark had never let go of was his younger brother’s fiancée.
What a joke.
She’d wanted a child. She thought maybe then she could at least stay by his side and grow old with him. Instead, she was told she wasn’t even qualified to have his baby.
That was the real punchline.
On their wedding anniversary, Lisa finally walked away for good. She went back to research. She won major awards. She made a name for herself and brought honor to her country.
She was glowing. Brilliant, successful men circled around her. There was no shortage of people eager to win her over.
Three years later, Lisa stepped out of the maternity ward, a baby in her arms.
Mark suddenly rushed in front of her like he’d lost his mind. “You were pregnant?”
Lisa smiled faintly and looked down at him. “I had a baby. What does that have to do with my ex-husband?”
