The Night My Water Broke And He Left

Synopsis

My water broke. I was writhing on the floor in agony, but my husband physically blocked the ambulance door, refusing to let me on. He said, "Just hold on a little longer. Emily's pregnancy is unstable. She's in more danger than you are." The "Emily" he was talking about was his female assistant, who had gotten pregnant two months ago. I watched the ambulance speed away with him and his precious Emily, and right then, something inside me died. Later, he sent me a text saying Emily and her baby were safe. Only then did he finally, belatedly, come home. When he saw my flat stomach and the empty bed, he completely lost his mind.
