I hadn’t responded to any of them. Instead, I packed my things and went straight to the hospital to end my pregnancy.

I had given Sanz countless chances, but each time, he chose to give up on us.

"Enough, Kayren!"

Suddenly, he grabbed my wrist and pinned me onto the sofa. His eyes flared with frustration. "Five years of marriage and no pregnancy, and now you're lying about being pregnant just to get my attention!"

"I was just busy for a bit, and you're acting like it's the end of the world!"

"Busy?" I laughed bitterly, pulling out my phone. I tossed it in his face, letting the messages do the talking.

"Busy having a baby with someone else, right?"

Sanz's expression darkened. He opened his mouth to explain, but before he could say anything, his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and, without hesitation, answered.

"What's wrong?" he asked, softening his voice immediately.

On the other end, Cassandra's tearful voice rang out.

"Honey, I’m about to have a miscarriage! Please, come save me!"

“Damn it!” Sanz cursed under his breath, throwing all my packed things back at me as he spoke gently to her. "Hold on, I’m on my way."
