My Husband’s Mistress Took My Child, I Took Her LifeChapter 1
When the picture of Carlos Phillips’s kidnapping arrived, I ran out, eight months pregnant, holding a knife. By the time I reached the last door, I was covered in blood and holding my belly. I heard laughter inside.
“The bet ended in ten minutes. Do you really think Hannah could make it here with that bump?”
“Or make this sister kneel to me and we’ll forget the wine-throwing.”
“If anything happened to the baby in Hannah’s womb, I’d take the blame.”
Then Carlos’s cold voice cut in. “What? Afraid of losing?”
“No. I just knew how hard you’d worked for this child. You were risking your wife’s life over a bet. Had you thought what would happen if something went wrong?”
“Shut up. She wasn’t a plaything, she was everything to me. If I lost the child, I could have another. But I wouldn’t let anyone hurt her.”
“Besides, I knew I’d win. Hannah would come.”
I gripped the knife tight in my hand, the taste of blood spreading in my mouth. What I thought was a kidnapping turned out to be nothing more than a bet Carlos made to protect another woman.
He had thrown away our eight-month-old child for her.
