The Goodbye You Asked For

Everyone knew that I had an enviable marriage and a husband who loved me like his life.

But the day after I found out I was pregnant, I heard him talking to his secretary.

“My wife is pregnant. What about Miss Jenkins and the boy? The boy is already three years old. What if my wife knows about this…”

My husband’s eyes were sharp.

“She must not know about this. Let Regina keep her mouth shut!”

A boy? Three years old? Before I understood what this sentence meant, my phone vibrated at this time.
