On the Day I Gave Birth, My Ex Demanded His Baby Back

The day I gave birth, a message came through from an unknown number.

【It's been a year. Cooled off yet?】

I went blank for a second.

Then I saw the last four digits—and remembered. My ex-boyfriend. A year and a half since I walked away.

【Every successful man has a few women trailing behind him. How are you the one who can't handle it?】

【You ran off pregnant with MY child, and neither I nor my parents blamed you for it.】

【Quit the act. Come home.】

The messages kept popping up, one after another, dragging dead memories back to the surface with them.
