The Best Medicine

My husband destroyed our marriage in five minutes.

He left me alone with two children, and in the morning I found out I’m pregnant with the third.

In despair, I decided to have an abortion. But a chance meeting with an old friend made me think.

“— I think you don’t want any abortion,” Nikita said.

He is a thousand times right. I can’t refuse a child I already love with all my heart.

I need to try to start a new independent life. Only my ex-husband won’t grant a divorce and keeps controlling every step I take.
