He almost took a subconscious step forward, but then Eula threw herself into his arms and sobbed hysterically.
“The men Natalie hired did the same thing to me. They assaulted me and got me pregnant. I ended up losing the baby!
“I could have had your baby too, Scott, but now I’ll never be able to get pregnant again.”
She was lying.
I had never hired anyone to hurt her.
Even so, Scott believed her.
He looked at me coldly.
“Natalie, you’re truly heartless.”
He walked over, yanked the baby from my arms, and brutally yanked the umbilical cord that still connected us.
“My baby!” I screamed at the top of my lungs.
“Scott! Please don’t do this! That’s our baby!”
He didn’t even look at me once.
Instead, he turned back to Eula and hugged her tenderly as if nothing had happened.
“An eye for an eye,” he said.
“No!” I screamed.
I tried to get up, but Scott kicked me back into the freezing water.
The icy water made me choke, but it didn’t hurt as much as my heart did.
I glared at him with bloodshot eyes.
“You monster! That’s our child!”
He looked at me with an air of superiority. His tone was ice-cold when he spoke.
“That was never my child. That thing was a mistake.”
I had never truly believed Scott loved me completely, but I never imagined he could be cruel enough to kill our child.
At that moment, the rage inside me erupted like a volcano.
“I want a divorce!” I yelled.
Overwhelmed by anger, I suddenly passed out.
When I woke again, I found myself in a dark, damp storage room.
