Divorced in the Delivery Room,My Husband’s Mistress Gave Him Disease

The call came while I was in labor.

Bartholomew Delgado's voice was calm, almost bored. "Sophie Simmons, I've been having an affair."

"Let's get divorced before the baby's born."

"Maddie's young. She can't handle the gossip that comes with being the other woman."

"I need to make her my wife."

"And don't think you can use the child to trap me."

"You of all people should understand—a child born unloved only suffers."

I looked at the photo he'd sent. Nodded like a good girl.

No hysterics this time. No screaming, no begging.
