"Do you have any idea how exhausting it was to live like that?"
My palm cracked across his face. The impact jolted through my wrist, and tears spilled before I could stop them.
"Anthony Henson, you were the one who cheated! You were the one who lied to me!"
"How dare you stand there and say I tormented you? That you had it hard?"
Victoria dropped to her knees in front of me, eyes glistening with tears.
"Nora, please stop fighting. This is all my fault."
"I'm the shameless one. I'm the disgusting one. I'm the one who seduced Anthony."
"He kept every promise he made to you. I was the one who wouldn't let go."
"I'll divorce him right away."
She pressed a hand to her lower belly, her voice trembling with pained reluctance.
"As for the baby... I'll get rid of it."
Joy lit up every corner of Anthony's face.
"Victoria, you're pregnant?"
My chest seized. It felt like a fist had closed around my heart and was crushing it, squeezing until my entire body went rigid.
Victoria pushed Anthony away as he moved toward her, shrinking back.
"The doctor said it's barely over a month. If I terminate now, it's nothing more than a clump of cells."
"I'll walk away with nothing. I'll give you the signed divorce papers."
