Love Left Me WanderingBOOK1-Chapter 1

After five years of marriage, Sean Carter was betrayed fifty-two times.

I endured it all in silence.

Until I was nine months pregnant.

It started with his secretary offending an important client. To keep the deal intact, Sean Carter— my husband — demanded I apologize on his behalf by joining them for drinks.

I stared at him in disbelief. "I'm pregnant. You want me to drink? What if something happens—"

He cut me off impatiently. "It's just a drink, not to take your life."

Annoyed by my hesitation, he encouraged them to keep pouring drinks down my throat.

The fiery alcohol scorched my throat, triggering premature labour.

While I fought for my life in the hospital, he spent the night with his secretary in the countryside villa.

When I woke up after delivering the baby, I turned to my mother-in-law. "Mom, you promised me — have the baby, and I could leave. Can I go now?"

Her face twisted with conflict and guilt. "Aria, won’t you give him one last chance? He—"

Before she could finish, the hospital room TV blared with breaking news.
