I Was Eight-Month-Pregnant and My Husband Told Me to Cook

I was already eight months pregnant when Theo Irvine suddenly declared that I had to prepare a feast to celebrate his birthday and cook a home-cooked meal myself. He even invited his friends to celebrate it.

At the party, during a game of Truth or Dare, Susan Evergreen purposedly lost the game and chose the Truth. She pointed at my baby bump and said, "Amy, your stretch marks are so disgusting, like a swarm of maggots crawled across your skin."

Laughter erupted and instantly drowned me in humiliation. Shame crushed the last shred of my dignity.
