Sean's company was on the brink of going public. Logically, this should have been his busiest time, but he still came home before 8 PM every night to spend more time with me.
Everyone said he was the perfect husband. Completely devoted and under my thumb.
Until today, I thought the same.
"Honey, didn't the doctor say you were in poor health? I was thinking, maybe we could adopt a child sometime soon. What do you think?"
Sean's words interrupted my thoughts. My hands trembled slightly. "Do you really want a child that much?"
"No, it's not that. I'd love to have a child with you, but your health matters more to me. Besides, you won't feel lonely when I'm not around if we adopt the little one."
My heart sank as I looked at the sincerity in his eyes. If it weren't for the photos his mistress sent me today, I would never have known that he already had a child with someone else.
That woman was six months pregnant now, but he had already decided to bring the child back and let me raise it.
How ridiculous was that? He wanted me to raise the child he had with his mistress, but he made it sound so noble. Our marriage was completely beyond repair.
