Little did we know, I ended up getting a miscarriage because of that. I eventually left him, only to win a lottery and get a man better than him.

I, Evelyn Powell, drove for almost 7 hours with a heavily pregnant body. Finally, I arrived at the beach. My boyfriend, Oscar Evans, had promised me to go to the beach to celebrate our tenth anniversary. Besides, I already planned a special trip for us. So, it had to be perfect.
But the man kept playing with his phone all the way to the beach. In fact, he even fell asleep without doing much. To be honest, I was annoyed. But I couldn’t let that ruin our anniversary. Thus, I kept my cool.
As we drove, his phone rang. He picked it up without hesitation. It was our upstairs neighbor, Madeline Dunne.
Her voice was frantic as she said, “Oscar, Angie hasn’t eaten all day! She’s on a hunger strike. The dog food you bought is finished. Can you pick up another bag?”
It had always been like this. I couldn’t help but glance at him, already frustrated by how much time he spent helping her with her dog.
Before I could say anything, he spoke hurriedly, “Stop the car! I need to go back and get dog food. Madeline's dog is starving to death!”
