Hearts Beyond Redemption
Since Raymond was so fond of Victoria, I might as well let them have each other. I had to divorce him! I had to! This life was simply unbearable!
I touched my still-flat stomach, feeling a pang of sorrow. I said to my unborn child, "Sweetheart, I'm sorry, but I can't let you come into this world to suffer."
My stomach was painfully empty and cramping in waves. After searching every corner, I found nothing to eat.
Feeling the three dollars left in my pocket, I gritted my teeth and went out. I walked unsteadily to the supermarket and bought discounted, nearly expired food.
