My Husband’s “Best Friend” Humiliated Me in the Delivery Room,Now They’re Both Going DownChapter 1

I had a C-section.

My husband's female "bro" said she was bored—so he filmed my entire labor. Every humiliating, undignified moment of me giving birth, captured on camera. Then he took screenshots, turned them into animated memes, and uploaded them to their group chat for anyone to download and use.

Charity Pruitt saw them and doubled over laughing.

"Brendan, this is the best laugh I've had all year. You always know how to cheer me up."

"Though... Naomi Harding's gonna be pissed when she wakes up and sees these."

My eyelids were heavy as I lay on the hospital bed, barely conscious—but I heard Brendan Henson's dismissive reply clear as day:

"Let her be pissed. She already had the baby. What's she gonna do about it?"

"Honestly? Sometimes she really gets on my nerves. Can't even take a little joke."

A little joke?

My hand twitched beneath the blanket. My mind drifted to the files buried on my computer—years of grievances I'd never bothered to tally.

Shrill laughter ricocheted off the hospital room walls.
