I stood outside the door and heard my mother-in-law whisper:
Gen, how could you suffocate the other baby?
My wifes voice was ice-cold.
The one who died was my husbands. The one who lived is Calebs.
I had to make sure his child gets the inheritance.
Thats when it hit me
My wifes twins had different fathers.
She killed my child
To protect her lovers.
In the bedroom, Brenda was still wiping tears and sighing.
“Leo has longed for a child for years. If he ever finds out the truth, he won’t be able to handle it.”
Genevieve’s voice suddenly spiked.
“Mom! Caleb was the man I wanted to marry! You and Dad threatened to cut me off, forcing me to marry Leo for the company’s funding. Wasn’t my sacrifice enough?”
“My womb is mine, and I only want to bear children for the man I love!”
“Besides, Leo loves me so much. As long as the child calls him ‘Dad,’ does it really matter whose it is?”
If I hadn’t heard it with my own ears, I would never have believed such utterly twisted and morally bankrupt words could come from the woman I’d loved for so many years.
I stumbled into the bathroom, splashing cold water on my face, again and again.
I was terrified that if I waited another second, the agony and rage would overwhelm me, making me do something I’d regret.
Genevieve and I were college sweethearts. The first time I saw her, I was captivated by her serene and elegant beauty.
When I heard she had a deadbeat boyfriend from outside campus, I was surprised but held back my feelings.
Then, Genevieve suddenly approached me. She explained that Caleb was just a childhood friend, and she was truly attracted to men like me.
Overjoyed, I immediately started dating her.
Even when my family tried to set me up with a more advantageous match, I refused, determined to marry Genevieve.
For years, I’d poured my money and resources into her family’s business, cherished Genevieve, and treated her parents with more respect and care than my own.
The result? Genevieve had suffocated my only child with her own hands!
“Honey, what’s wrong?”
Lost in my thoughts, Genevieve suddenly appeared in the doorway.
Her face was etched with concern, as if she loved me deeply.
A bitter irony twisted in my gut. I turned away, doing my best to mask my emotions.
“Nothing. Just a little tired.”
After all, she was the woman I had loved for so many years. While she was recovering from childbirth, I didn’t want to fight. I just wanted to finalize the divorce quietly and go our separate ways.
“Leo, even if you don’t say it, I can guess. You’re upset about the baby we lost, aren’t you?”
Genevieve watched me for a moment, then sighed softly. “It’s fate. Some things are beyond our control. But thankfully, we still have Finn. You should pour all your love and energy into him, raise him well. That’s the best way to honor the baby who died.”
My heart clenched violently, a mix of shock and fury. I stared at Genevieve, stunned by her audacity.
“Oh, and one more thing.” Genevieve looked up at me, her eyes wide and innocent.
“We agreed before, once I gave birth, you’d get a permanent vasectomy. I’ve already scheduled your appointment. It’s tomorrow.”
