Chapter 8

Jayden and I had been married for ten years, but I hadn't been able to have children.

"It's okay, Ruby. Don't take what Mom said to heart. She was just talking. I would never divorce you, not even if I died."

After we got back from dinner with his family, Jayden tried to comfort me. At the table, his mom had torn into me, making cruel remarks.

She said that I could not have a baby boy.

"Jayden, maybe we should get a divorce. We can't have children, and your mom's never been happy with me," I said.

I pushed his hand away.

"Babe, I love you. For us, it's 'til death do us part, not divorce. Having no kids won't change that."

After a long process with IVF, I finally got pregnant.

Jayden was very serious about this baby. He took care of everything from food to clothing. But I never expected him to cheat on me with my best friend while I was pregnant.
