He Called Me Worthless, So I Left Him With Nothing

On our wedding anniversary, I had planned to tell him the truth I had hidden for years—about my identity, my family, and the gift waiting in my hands, meant to secure everything he had been chasing.

But just as I raised my hand to knock, the voices inside stopped me cold.

"The surrogate is already two months along. Aunt Hillary must be thrilled."

My fingers tightened around the medical report.

"She's healthy," Adam said casually. "The pregnancy is stable."

Someone laughed. "And your wife? Still clinging on?"

"She won't leave," he replied calmly. "She has nowhere to go."
