IlianaH Romance

“I gave up my career in New York to become the perfect, devoted wife to my NHL star husband. But on our second anniversary, a hidden mic in his study revealed a horrifying truth. He wasn't just cheating on me. To protect his multi-million dollar endorsements and please his mistress, he and his mother were actively plotting an "accident" to get rid of me and the baby growing inside my womb. Days later, he took me on a romantic getaway to a secluded cabin. "I've got you." He whispered those sweet words by the cliff's edge, right before his hands shoved me into the freezing lake below. I survived the icy depths, but the agonizing cramps in my abdomen told me my baby didn't make it. Waking up in the sterile hospital room, I watched Shane put on a flawless, tearful performance of a devastated father for the doctors, acting like the perfect grieving husband. I had loved this man with all my heart for five years, only to realize that to him, my life and our child were nothing but disposable trash blocking his path. How could the man who promised to protect me be such a cold-blooded monster? Looking at his perfectly constructed mask of sorrow, I didn't scream or expose his crimes. Instead, I hid my bleeding palms under the blanket and gave him a fragile, trusting smile. The naive Eveline died in that freezing lake, and now, I will destroy everything he holds dear.”
