My Fiancé Is A… Dad?
I filed to leave Doctors Without Borders a year in advance, just so I could return home, keep my promise, and marry Dennis McMillan.
But by the time I got back, Dennis was already a father.
I overheard him telling the housekeeper, "Let Anna stay abroad a little longer. Best if she doesn't come back at all. If she finds out I have a son now, she'll definitely cause a scene."
It was only then that I understood—he had deceived me.
Three years ago, he said to me, "Go spend three years with Doctors Without Borders. Toughen yourself up. Once you are more mature, you'll be ready to be my wife."
And I was mature now. I wasn't the same girl who used to break down in tears whenever something went wrong.
My tastes had changed too. And now, I wasn't interested in someone like him anymore.
