For five years, Michael Walker had been the perfect husband, gentle, attentive, and always there for me. But everything changed the day he brought home a bionic robot that looked exactly like his first love, Emily Sawyer. She faked a fall down the stairs and then blamed me, saying I pushed her. I tried desperately to explain, "I didn't push her. She's lying." But Michael said, "I personally designed her. She would never lie." As punishment, he locked me in an elevator for twelve hours, even though he knew I was four months pregnant and suffered from severe claustrophobia. After nearly losing the baby, I came home from the hospital, only to overhear Michael and his sister, Jessica Walker, mocking me. "This was a little lesson," Michael said. "If Emily could have children, I would've divorced her ages ago." In that moment, I felt a chill run through my entire body. I immediately went and scheduled an abortion.
