After seven years of our childfree marriage, my husband, Ethan Reed, suddenly dropped this bomb, announcing, "Let's have a baby." Painful memories came flooding back, sending a shiver down my spine. I was about to say no when suddenly the houseplants started whispering in my head, "No freaking way! He knocked up his first love and now wants you to play a surrogate mother?" The shock sent me into an asthma attack. As I gasped for air, Ethan just walked away with a shrug, muttering, "Come on. Stop playing the victim. You've had these episodes a million times, and you're always fine." Just when I thought it couldn't get worse, the plants went on a tirade, calling Ethan an absolute scumbag who was plotting to pressure my mother into "donating" her kidney to his first love's uncle. I raced to the hospital to stop them. But his parents kicked me in the stomach, causing me to lose the baby I never even knew I was carrying. "Her mother is a psycho, and she's got breathing problems. Her baby must be unhealthy." Meanwhile, his first love cornered me, crying. "Your mom will be fine with one kidney. But my uncle will literally die." The story went viral, and the public cursed me for being selfish and cruel. I felt no more pain but a cold resolve. I reached for my phone and made a single call. It was time for Ethan, and his entire family, to truly regret what they'd done.
