Divorced on Our Daughter’s Birthday,My Ex-Husband Paid in Blood

At the birthday party, my daughter was just about to blow out her candles.

Victor Sanchez leaned in with a smile, his tone light—as if he were telling a joke.

"Talia Abbott, sweetie, Mommy and Daddy are getting divorced. Why don't you make a wish for Aunt Rebecca Harding to give you a little brother?"

The smile froze on my daughter's face. Her eyes filled with tears in an instant.

The next second, she burst into wails, the fork slipping from her trembling fingers.

Victor clicked his tongue in irritation.
