To protect Olivia Little, his manipulative adopted sister, Leroy Vernon let me, seven months pregnant, get shoved down the stairs. I was lying in a pool of blood, and he coldly said, "Stop pretending. How much do you want to settle this?" At that moment, I didn't cry or make a scene. A woman whose heart was dead didn't go hysterical. I signed the divorce papers, took the money, and laid the baby to rest. Then I disappeared from his life completely. By the time he was frantically searching for me, I was already married to someone else.
