Go Away! My Cruel HusbandChapter 1
Shantelle’s POV
“Hey, baby,” Hot tears carved rivers down my cheeks, blurring my vision. “I got you that PS5 you’ve always wanted. I don’t care if you take the exams or not. Just open your eyes. Please, baby! Mommy loves you so much. Please!”
He looked so small, so fragile beneath the crisps white sheet. His chest, usually falling and rising, just lay stiff and still. The freckled hand that used to hold mine lay slack at his side.
A sob escaped my lips and the ragged sound echoed hollowly in the silence. Please, baby, I’m sorry. But he wouldn’t listen to me. My baby wouldn’t listen anymore.
Today. Today was the day Enzo was supposed to take his SAT. My baby is a genius and since he’s ahead of his peers in junior school, his teachers convinced me to let him take a seniors SAT and possibly get him into a prestigious university at just fourteen years old.
I reached out, my hand trembling as it hovered over his cheek. Why does he look so pale? Why? Why does he look so small? Enzo had always looked small for his age, but right now in this bed, he looked shriveled and tiny.
