For seven years, Peter and I kept our marriage a secret. During that time, I'd been pregnant five times. Every single one ended in a stillbirth. Peter cared deeply about my health, so he hired a top nutritionist to adjust my diet and take care of my nutrition. He always reassured me that we would have a healthy baby someday. The day I learned I was pregnant again, I couldn't wait to go see Peter. But just as I was about to step into the room, I overheard him talking with his best friend, Darren. "You mean you made Bella lose all five of her babies just to give Mandy material for her medical experiments? Are you insane? Those were your own flesh and blood!" Darren said, disbelief and anger thick in his voice. Peter just shrugged, looking totally unfazed. "Mandy works so hard. I don't get medicine at all, so all I can do is be her strongest supporter and give her whatever she asks for. " "Anyway, my marriage certificate with Bella is a fake. Any kids we had were just secrets, never meant to see the light of day. If they died, so be it. The only woman I ever want is Mandy," he added coldly. So it turned out, the marriage I'd treasured all this time was a lie. The man I'd thought of as my loving husband was really a monster wearing human skin. If that was the case, there was no need to hold on anymore.
