“You should be dead!”
I rolled my eyes. “I didn’t pay anyone!”
“Stop lying! Go apologize to her now!”
Jack pulled my arm, but I didn’t stand up.
Jack came closer, eyes filled with fire.
“Okay! You don’t want to be nice! That’s
great!”
He grabbed my neck and strangled me.
I could not breath. I wanted to fight.
Jack did not stop.
After a minute, he let me go. I thought I was
Г
Jack punched me in the stomach. “If you are
going to pretend to have a miscarriage, then I
will help you! How is that?”
I was shaking. My skin was pale.
I could feel blood on my dress.
Jack realized that something was wrong. He
pulled my clothes off.
He saw my empty belly and looked confused.
“Where is the baby? Where is it?”
“No way, the baby cannot be dead, honey…”

Chapter Two
Jack stammered.
He was having a hard time wrapping his head
around the fact that I’d actually been stabbed
because of him, that our baby was gone.
I opened my mouth, but I lost consciousness
again from the blood loss.
When I woke up again, my stomach was
bandaged up, and I had an IV dripping into my
arm.
Jack saw my eyes flutter open and sauntered
into the room.
The shock on his face was gone, and there wasn’t a hint of guilt. He just gave me a
wasn’t a hint of guilt. He just gave me a
once–over and said, “I talked to my mom, and
yeah, I guess I screwed up. I didn’t think
Henderson would actually find us. So, I’ll be
nicer to you, I guess. As compensation.”
“The baby’s gone, so try not to be too
bummed about it. It’s just a baby, and it
wasn’t even out of the womb yet.
“You were kind today, because you let me
save Tiffany! So I will thank you for saving my
lover.”
Jack stood over me, waiting for me to agree
with his words.
I frowned, staring at him. “You think that fixes
me almost dying and losing our baby?”
<
Was that all that it would take to fix things?
Jack looked surprised, eyebrows raised.
“What else is there? You don’t think that you
need to have a big fit about it?”
I didn’t say anything. I picked up my phone
and started typing out a text to the police.
Before I could hit send, two officers walked
into the room.
They must have already interrogated
Henderson.
Jack’s face, which was always so cocky,
cracked.
He tried to leave the room, but the cops
stopped him. “You’re being arrested for illegal
activity. Please тollow us.”
Jack turned red, shouting that he did not
know Henderson.
I looked at the cops and raised my hand. “I
can support Henderson’s story.”
“Also, I want to report that Jack was violent in
the room and almost killed me! Check the
cameras. The nurses are witnesses!”
Jack was shocked that I would yell at him.
“Are you crazy? You are trying to embarrass
me! What the hell are you doing?”
He wanted to hurt me.
He was held back by the cops. “Jack, what is
く
going on? I am going to tell everyone about
this, then divorce you.”
“What about Tiffany? When you get out of
jail, you will see what happens!”
I am going to make both of them pay.
The words “Tiffany” and “Jenny” always have
an impact in Jack’s brain.
“If you hurt her, I will kill you! I will make you
pay by ten times.”
“Why would you blame me? You need to look
at how bad you act!”
Jack kept yelling as they took him away.
A minute later, the room was silent.
