I chased Eric for three years before he finally said yes to my confession. He couldn't wait to marry me, and we basically eloped. After the wedding, he was incredibly attentive and caring, doing everything for me. Everyone kept saying how I'd married for love and found my happily ever after. But when I was nine months pregnant and due any day, I overheard Eric talking to his best friend. "If Emmy didn't need Sophia's umbilical cord blood for her illness, you couldn't pay me to marry her. "You guys have no idea. Every time I sleep with her, I go throw up in the bathroom afterward. "The stretch marks on her stomach now look like a bunch of worms crawling all over her. "Once she has the baby, I'll make up some excuse and get rid of her." That was when I found out my cousin Emily, the one I'd hated since we were kids, was actually my dad's love child. And she'd been sleeping with Eric this whole time. I went into the operating room in complete shock, and I never came back out. When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the moment right before I confessed to Eric for the nth time. This time, I was done loving him.
