His Childhood Sweetheart Returned, So I Chose VengeanceChapter 1

In the second year of my marriage, my husband's childhood sweetheart came back from studying abroad.

The very first night she returned, she secretly poked holes in every condom my husband and I had.

My parents' murders were still unavenged. I'd made it clear: no children.

"Ellie just finished school. She's young. She doesn't understand these things. Just take the pill," he said.

He knew full well I was allergic to oral contraceptives, yet he still said those words to protect a girl his family had taken in.

Even after taking the pill, I still got pregnant.

The day the doctors told me the ectopic pregnancy couldn't be saved, I called my husband, who was busy throwing a graduation party for Eleanor Lambert.

"Paul, I think I'm having a miscarriage."

Paul Fletcher was doing something on the other end. Heavy breathing crackled through the phone. "Jessica Pruitt! There's a limit to how far you can push this. Didn't you take the pill? Where the hell did a baby come from? Have you been sleeping around behind my back?"

I hung up in despair and dialed 911.
