I took the cake out of the trash and stomped on it. "Don't bring this garbage to disgust Anna."
In all the time I'd known Eugene, I rarely confronted him like this.
I grabbed the suitcase with Anna's belongings and started to leave.
Eugene was furious. "If you leave now, don't ever come back."
He thought this was just a way for me to get his attention, but this time, it was truly over between us.
I met Eugene through work.
I started a small company, and he was one of the employees.
We dated and eventually got married.
Once, while on a business trip, he had a car accident.
I was busy with work and didn't have much time to take care of him.
By the time he recovered, he had Jessica Barnes by his side.
Eugene and I had a fierce fight.
He accused me of caring only about money, not him.
During his most vulnerable time, only Jessica was there for him.
In the end, I proposed divorce but unexpectedly found out I was pregnant for a month and a half.
Eugene apologized, explaining that there was nothing between him and Jessica, and promised to keep his distance from her.
I softened.
Having grown up in an orphanage, I had no family.
The life growing inside me, connected by blood, made me reluctant to let go.
