Heartbroken

Late night, Cathy green was in the kitchen preparing food for Hank Howard's return home.

But as the clock ticked closer to twelve he still hasn't arrived home. A wave of anxiety washed over her

After all, everyone knew that this marriage was something she had begged for. If anything he despised her.

In the past, she wouldn't have dared to hope for anything more, But now she is expecting their child surely, for the sake of their child he would treat her a little better right?

Just then, she heard the soft click of the front door. She hurrIed to greet him

Hank, you are back!

Hank Howard stepped inside wearing a dark cashmere coat that accentuated his tall, elegant figure. The moment he laid eyes on Cathy green, he said Cathy green we need to talk.

Cathy paused sensing something was off about him

Sure,I have something to tell you too. We-"

Madeline is pregnant. Let's get a divorce

The word hit her like a heavy blow leaving Cathy standing in disbelief

He continued, it has been five months. I promised Norman that i would take care of her and not go back on my words.

Norman was Madeline brother and Hank Howard close friends. He died three years ago while trying to save Hank.

Cathy's green was aware of this, which is why she had taken good care of Madeline over the past three years. But how could she.....how could she covet her husband and even be pregnant with his child

Cathy's mind was in turmoil, but she forced herself to stay calm

Hank, I actually went to the hospital today and the doctor said .....

Just then a phone rang cutting her off mid-sentence. Hank Howard answered the call and seconds later, his expression changed dramatically.

What did you say? Madeline is in trouble

Take her to the hospital first. I'll be there right away

He hung up the phone in a hurry and Cathy heart raced as she quickly grabbed his arm.where are you going? it's so late in the night and you still want to find Madeline

You can't go!

Hank Howard impatiently shook her off Madeline is in trouble! Are you really going to let her suffer when I can help

Cathy green, don't be so unreasonable, with that he pushed the door open and walked out

Cathy felt a lump in her throat as years of suppressed grievances surged up inside her.

She rushed out and shouted, "How am I supposed to be reasonable? I'm your wife ? Are you expecting me to just stand there and watch you chase after another woman?

The man stopped, but His words struck her like a heavy blow in the heart

Don't you know how you got that title of a wife? If it weren't for you, Norman wouldn't be in this situation.

I've put up with you for three years. The only reason I haven't sent you to prison is out of respect for the Howard and green families.

What more do you want Cathy green face turned green as memories flooded her mind.

Three years ago, just as she was about to marry into the Howard's family, news broke that Hank Howard had been in a car accident and Norman had died trying to save Hank Howard.

After ward, all the evidence pointed to her accusing her of bribing someone to tamper with Hank Howard car.

She explained herself to him many times and eventually due to lack of evidence,the prosecution didn't file charges against her she thought that she had proven her innocence but it turned out ... He had never believed her at all ?

But the next second,his phone rang again.Mr Hank Howard ,when are you coming Madeline is bleeding heavily we might not be able to save the baby

Hank Howard eyes narrowed and he quickly said Do everything you can to protect the child. I'll be there soon

With no time to think further ,he hung up the phone and shoved the divorce agreement into Cathy green hands

Just sign it and leave it at home I'll send someone to pick it up later!

After saying y,he hurriedly got into his car and drove off
