My Husband's Lies, My DepartureChapter 1

When I was three months pregnant, I craved seafood porridge. My husband got up in the middle of the night to buy it for me.

But during that hour when he was supposedly buying porridge, he was cheating with a college girl. In the footage from the dashcam, he gripped her waist, saying harshly, "I don't love you at all. You're just a tool for me to vent my desires!"

The girl burst into tears and then he hurriedly raised his hand to comfort her. At that moment, I knew our marriage was utterly broken.

When I was three months pregnant, my morning sickness had eased up a bit. Javier was so happy that he couldn't sleep that night.

He held me close as we reminisced about our past. While recalling memories, he wrapped me tightly in his arms, kissing my hair and said, "Mandy, I'll always love you the most!"

But I never expected that in the brief time he stepped out to get me a late-night snack, he had sex with a female college student. In the dashcam footage, Javier and the girl were clearly visible.

My hand froze on the tablet and my heart began to race. Suddenly, my belly contracted sharply, the pain making me curl up, drenched in sweat.
