Cheating Ex-husbands
At eight months pregnant, I was in a car accident and delivered a stillborn child.
My husband, who had always been so gentle, turned on me. He called me useless. He said I couldn't even protect our baby.
He forced me into a divorce and, without looking back, rushed into a hasty marriage with his long-lost first love.
Just as despair threatened to swallow me whole, Grayson Brooke—my childhood friend who had been overseas for years—returned. He confessed his feelings and promised to cherish me for the rest of my life.
But in the third year of our marriage, I accidentally overheard a conversation between him and his closest friend that turned my blood to ice.
"That car accident you staged—just to get the cord blood—killing Lydia's innocent baby in the process… it was too cruel, even for you."
"It was a necessary evil. Only her child's cord blood could save Kayla."
"But Lydia had just one month left. Kayla could have held on a little longer—"
Grayson cut him off, his voice sharp and absolute.
"If there was a way, why would we wait? I couldn't stand by and let Kayla suffer for one second more."
