“Did pregnancy fry your fucking brain? Amari’s my buddy–you’re seriously jealous of

    that?”

    “What’s next, you want me on a fucking leash? You’re suspicious of every damn person bI /btalk to!“[]

    “Use your head–if bwe /bwere really hooking up, would she announce it to everyone?!“[]

    My heart just exploded into pieces.[]

    “You’re right! You’re totally innocent! I’m just being a psycho bitch!” I was trembling, screaming. “I’ve been putting up with this bullshit for way too long!”

    Every swallowed hurt came flooding back like a p in the face.[]

    Only I knew what thatst straw was really worth.[]

    “Leonel, How many times have you left me for your ‘buddy‘?!“[]

    “When I was in the ER with appendicitis, you were getting your nails done with her. When I was bleeding, trying not to lose our baby, you were at the arcade with her. “[]

    “Every single fucking time I needed you, you were off ying with your precious BUDDY. Right up until tonight!“|[]

    Tears were streaming down my face.

    “She sits there bragging about jerking you off like it’s nothing, you keep flirting with her like I don’t exist, and when I finally snap and call 911, you don’t defend me–you just scream that I’m losing my mind!“]]

    “That was the moment.‘

    “Leonel. We’re fucking done.“]

    My roar got no response.]]

    Then I hear Leonel’s voice, all soft and protective:[]

    “Don’t worry, baby. I’m here. I’ll keep you safe.“]

    I spun around.

    He had his gaming headset on, talking to Amari online.]]

    The gaming and shoutingsted past midnight.]

    I sat alone on the balcony, hands on my wildly kicking belly, and dialed my OB.[]

    “I need to schedule a termination.“[]

    Chapter b2 /b

    Next morning.

    Stabbing stomach pains jolted me awake. I stumbled out looking for Leonel.]

    He was lounging on the couch, ankles crossed, smirking bat /bhis phone.[b] /b

    Took me calling his name four times before he nced up.

    When he saw how pale I was, he froze for a second, then quickly helped me sit down, his fingers working gently on bmy /b

    shoulders.

    “Babe, I can’t stay with you today. bCEO /bWells is waiting for me to discuss that yacht acquisition. Thepany’s developing new cruise routes.“[]

    So casual, likest night was ancient history.[]

    ssic Leonel–let me marinate in my feelings overnight, then act like nothing happened. Ignore it long enough and problems solve themselves, right?]

    The pain made me grip his hand, but he kept texting with the other, totally oblivious.]

    Amari’s voice shrieked from outside:]

    “Leonel! Mommy’s here! Move your ass!“]

    Leonel immediately shook me off, dropped his phone, and bolted for the door.]

    I crumpled to the floor, identally knocking his phone over.[]

    The screen lit up with a group chat pinned at the top: “Princess Amari & Her Knights.“]

    I clicked on it instinctively, and my whole body went numb.

    “Kendall’s such a psycho. Told you she was wrong for you from the start.“]

    “Having some random chick kill our vibe every time is so fucking annoying. You should’ve just married Amari!“]

    Amari dropped a tongue–out emoji:[]

    “Ew, it’s my birthday–why mention that killjoy? Leonel’s buying me a yacht as my present! Princess needs her ocean views! “[]

    Leonel replied instantly: “Give daddy a bow and I’ll give you my whole damn life.“[]

    Amari shot back a bowing emoji:[]

    b“/bNow that your life belongs to meb, /bbI /border you–NO wife today!“]

    “Dude, I saw Amari pack that string bikini. Looks like someone’s gonna be unwrapping a bikini princess tonight!“]
