Betrayal. You Chose Not Me

“You could have helped her!” the ex—his voice cuts my ears—says. “You’re the best midwife!”

“I’m not a God, Demidov.”

“You-y-you!” His face twists with rage.

“Did you get revenge? Yes?!”

In that fateful day I couldn’t save a woman whose injuries were incompatible with life. She dies together with the unborn child.

Enraged, the husband rushes to settle accounts. With horror, I recognize in him my former husband— the one who, back then, mercilessly sent me for an abortion, and then left for another.

And now I have to run from the anger of the man I loved more than anything.
