The Mafioso Wanted My Heart Back After Breaking ItEpisode 1
Colleen Homer, my husband’s ex, posted an ultrasound photo on Facebook with the caption: "Grateful to my sperm donor. I thought all hope was lost, but now look—I’m having a baby!"
That donor? My husband, Alexander.
I forced myself to hit the like button and comment, "That’s great, happy for you!" Inside, I felt anything but happy.
Moments later, Alexander called, frantic. “Veronica, please don’t overreact! I was just helping Colleen out, okay? Don’t make this worse!”
I ended the call, too numb to respond. For the first time, divorce felt like a real option.

I gently stroked my belly, taking a deep breath as a profound sense of regret consumed me. I wanted to apologize to the tiny life within me, explaining that "your father does not seem to accept you". However, as soon as the words formed on my lips, tears welled up, soaking my cheeks.
