Story

The story

Eight months pregnant, Natalie discovers that her husband Ethan Smith has been sleeping with her adoptive sister Stella, the very woman who came to care for her. Ethan admits the affair began months ago and shows no remorse, while Stella pleads and clings to him. When Natalie finds a pair of torn stockings on the sofa, Ethan calmly confirms he and Stella used it, and Natalie is overcome with nausea.

Natalie has spent her life giving way to Stella, dropping out of school so her sister could study and letting her move into the home she shares with Ethan. After a gas leak leaves Natalie hospitalized, her mother dismisses the betrayal, insisting Stella is only sharing her burden, while Ethan and Stella go out together. Left waiting to give birth, Natalie faces the cold indifference of those closest to her.

Opening excerpt

At eight months pregnant, I accidentally discovered that my husband, Ethan Smith, was having an affair with my adoptive sister who had come to take care of me.

When I caught them, his tone was flat:

"So you saw everything? Actually, I started sleeping with her when you were three months pregnant. Every night for the past few months, I've been with her... Who told you to always refuse me during your pregnancy?"

I couldn't help but raise my hand and slap him. "You bastard! She's my sister!"
