a woman who looked huge because of her pregnancy I couldn't handle the thought of dealing with him dot while I would have to raise the baby alone and constantly see her big 9-month pregnant belly he looked at me with disdain and had a smirk on his face as if he was expecting this situation even though I knew this would happen I quickly went to my room and came back with some divorce papers I showed them to David without hesitation he looked shocked and asked what's this all of a sudden well it was your idea just
sign it quickly I'll submit it tomorrow I said his face turned red from embarrassment and anger at my words watch carefully I'll make you regret how you've treated and looked down on me I warned him my name is Susan I'm 27 years old and a housewife two years ago I used to work for a mobile company I met David my boss when I was 25 we quickly fell in love and got married David who is 3 years older than me was very reliable especially when he was teaching me at work I was really thankful for
his clear guidance we became good friends and often went out to dinner when he asked me out I was thrilled especially since I had never dated anyone before it's a bit embarrassing but I was always more interested in cartoon characters than real men seeing my high school and college friends getting married one after another made me feel pressured when I fell in love with David I promised myself he would be my first and last love I was thrilled when we started dating and then got married a year later David was good-looking and popular with our
female colleagues I was proud to be his wife and enjoyed all the congratulations and well wishes we received I felt incredibly happy not knowing what would come next the day after we officially registered our marriage I mentioned to David now that we're married you expect me to quit my job right David surprised me with his response I've always wanted my wife to focus only on home matters don't worry I can support us with my income he said but this is so sudden you never told me this before I replied David had never mentioned wanting me
to quit my job before we got married I had taken the job based on my father's advice and quitting without notice didn't feel right I wanted to explain but David's Silent Gaze made me stop talking I should have told you earlier but it's too late now starting tomorrow you don't need to go to work I'll take care of a Handover David said the news that I had to start staying home from work the next day hit me so suddenly that I felt dizzy but David's decision was Final and since he had been my boss I
couldn't argue even though I had to leave my job without a proper goodbye I was committed to making our marriage work I focused on household tasks and tried hard to meet David's expectations I cooked meals especially his favorites hoping for some recog nition even though David never commented on the food I longed for a bit of appreciation especially after giving up my job and losing my previous recognition one day I asked David is my jacket clean I have an important meeting tomorrow yes of course he replied showing his old-fashioned and commanding side I reminded myself
how lucky I was to be married to him and tried to meet his expectations without a personal income I relied on David for everything our relationship often felt more like a boss and an employee than a husband and wife but overall our married life was relatively smooth one day I fell ill and couldn't get out of bed feeling too weak to do housework I planned to catch up on it the next day David came into the room looking angry and demanded what are you doing get up and make some food while kicking the blanket off
me I explained I'm sorry I'm not feeling well instead of understanding David scowled and said you don't work and you're lying down just because you're a bit sick pathetic I was shocked that he would insist on chores even when I was sick I never expected him to be like this before we got married maybe I should have noticed but it was too much I ended up doing the chores while crying a few days later I realized I had missed my period and felt a rush of panic I went to the drugstore and bought a pregnancy
test which turned out to be positive Overjoyed I cried tears of happiness and decided to tell David as soon as he came home from work that night David came home after midnight smelling strongly of alcohol and staggering as he walked I was surprised at how drunk he was especially since he hadn't warned me despite having prepared dinner and wanting to share my pregnancy news I decided to tell him right away my excitement got the best of me and I shared the news with my Tipsy husband I haven't seen a doctor yet so it's not confirmed
I said trying to share our exciting news but David's face turned dark as he replied A Child what have you done his tone was colder and more severe than I had ever heard I don't want a child this is the worst if you're going to have it you'll have to take care of it yourself his harsh words shocked me he angrily undressed and went to the bathroom I couldn't understand why he was being so irresponsible about our baby the happiness of had felt moments ago was replaced with deep sadness he had never said he didn't
want children before we hadn't been using contraception so I assumed we both wanted a family as I was hanging up David's jacket and about to take his shirt to the laundry I noticed something in the pocket what's this it was a piece of paper that felt like a receipt at first I thought it was from tonight's event and was about to throw it away but then I saw the name of the place is this a motel my my hand shook as I realized it was indeed a motel receipt this discovery shocked me deeply I wondered
why David would behave this way marriage is supposed to be about love between two people especially since we'd only been married for just over a year I had spent years dreaming of romantic relationships but had never really experienced one I couldn't immediately accept this painful truth but the idea of cheating started to make sense were all my doubts about him using me as a servant while loving someone else true was this the reason he reacted so harshly to the news of my pregnancy as I struggled with these thoughts I started to feel nauseous and began
to suspect that something was seriously wrong it seemed like David had a mistress at my former workplace and perhaps he wanted to marry me for stability rather than love everything started to make sense and I felt like the line between reality and my imagination was blurring still I couldn't ignore the hurtful things he said after I told him about the pregnancy I decided to gather proof of David's infidelity his cold Behavior towards me made it clear that he was angry about the pregnancy even though I was dealing with morning sickness he would deliberately eat strong
smelling Foods around me and criticize my housework making me redo things it was tough on my pregnant body and heart but I was determined to find out the truth David never let go of his cell phone even taking it with him to the bathroom so I couldn't look at it when I snuck into his room it was always tidy and there was nothing suspicious he was very organized at work and his desk was always spotless it became clear that catching him red-handed would be difficult I frequently checked his pockets for receipts or other evidence but
my search was coming up empty I thought about hiring a private detective but I didn't have the money for that I was lost in thought about my situation when I got an unexpected phone call from my father who rarely called me hello it's me your Dad how are are you he asked I was surprised to hear from him given how busy he usually is Dad what's going on aren't you swamped with work my employees have been doing well so I'm not that busy he said as the CEO of a company in Canada my father had
always been a workaholic I didn't have many childhood memories of spending time with him but I respected his dedication I wondered why he was calling now so what's up I I asked waiting for him to explain my father then shared something shocking is that really true I asked stunned by what he revealed yes HEK not the type to lie I want you to trust me my father said trying to reassure me at first I was in shock and couldn't respond but as I processed the information I felt a sense of relief thank you Dad I'll
do my best I said gratefully before ending the call my investigation was finally showing results and I felt a mix of relief and anger because of the ongoing tension with David despite being pregnant David remained distant which only deepened my resentment towards him months went by and our relationship stayed strained then something happened that shattered our life as I approached my ninth month of pregnancy I lived in constant fear around David trying to avoid him and leading a quiet restricted life one evening while serving dinner as usual David came home home and we sat at
the dining table as I ate silently David suddenly slammed his Fork down what is this it's tasteless David yelled throwing the food I had cooked onto the floor I was shocked by his outburst and struggled to understand what was happening my frustration grew as I saw my meal discarded David complained that my cooking had been Bland recently but I had been using less seasoning to make the meals healthier for everyone during my pregnancy if he didn't like the taste he could have added some salt himself there was no need to throw the food on the
floor as I was about to speak up David sneered and made a hurtful remark I don't want a woman with a belly like a monster you'll have to raise the kid by yourself he said with malice and a cruel smile I had feared this day might come though I had hoped for a different outcome quickly I went to my room grabbed some documents and returned to show them to David here are the divorce papers I said pushing the documents towards him David looked stunned and asked what the hell what's this all of a sudden well
it was your idea just sign it quickly I'll submit it tomorrow I said I had been thinking about divorce ever since I suspected David's infidelity with a baby on the way I wasn't sure if I could manage on my own but now I had a new plan my determination seemed to anger David his face turned red with rage just wait I'll make you regret every moment you look down on me and tried to control me do you think you can manage without me you'll have a baby to care for and you'll regret it he threatened
I stayed firm and unshaken I'll be fine don't worry about me I assured him maybe annoyed by my resolve David grabbed the divorce papers and started filling them out here you go if this is what you want it's yours he said thank you I replied David probably didn't think I would actually go through with it as he handed the papers over without much fuss the next day I submitted the divorce papers and left the house I knew he'd be surprised when he came home from work to find me gone after that I moved to my
parents home my father had returned to the US from Canada and suggested I stay with them it was the right choice for me as I was fed up with life with David I was deeply grateful to my father for his support on the day I left our home David called me three times but I ignored each one eventually he stopped calling it became clear that I meant very little to him he was probably happy with his mistress and might even be planning to remarry I decided to move on from David 6 months later I had
a baby who was born safely and I was living happily with my parents while enjoying this peaceful life David called me again at first I ignored his calls but after he persisted I had no choice but to answer hello what do you want now I asked tired of his calls hey what's going on why were you on that show and since when are you the daughter of a CEO with millions of dollars David's voice was filled with surprise and anger it turned out he had seen a TV show about my family's lifestyle which aired after
I moved back with my parents after returning to my family's home I was approached by a TV station because of my father's role as CEO of a major Global Tech Company the show featured the luxurious lifestyle of CEO families and they filmed at our house discussing our family's wealth which was estimated at around $10 million I never expected David would see that show but the reach of Television is truly powerful oh by the way I didn't mention that I inherited $40 million which is why I was able to divorce you I said my father had
told me about this inheritance and it gave me the confidence to live comfortably even after leaving David David's reaction was immediate and Furious what that's unfair why didn't you tell me about this before half of it is mine right give me the money now I replied calmly just as I suspected after seeing the show all you can think about is getting money from me gifts from parents aren't included in the property Division and don't forget your own actions David looked looked confused and asked what are you talking about I'm tired of your anger David you
called me you should know you can't blame me for what you did you cheated didn't you with your new wife who's a junior from your company you started seeing her even before we were married I said David was clearly shocked by what I knew I finally had the upper hand did you think I wouldn't find out my father has many Connections in your company and one of them told about your Affair I haven't mentioned it before but I will be demanding child support I declared David still in denial argued stop kidding why should I pay
child support it's all your fault you got pregnant on your own and didn't keep up with the housework it's your fault I was stunned by David's refusal to take responsibility and his blame shifting I couldn't believe I had ever been married to someone so unreasonable it was clear I had made the right decision to leave him David I'm broke my wife spent all my money and now I'm in debt he lamented but I wasn't moved by his please I was angry and incredulous at his refusal to acknowledge his mistakes I had no desire to deal
with someone so unreasonable ever again gripping my phone tightly I prepared to end the conversation what are you talking about do you even realize how ridiculous you sound I never want to deal with you you again I'll have my lawyer handle the child support don't call me again and you won't see the child anymore goodbye after expressing my frustration I quickly hung up the phone I blocked David's number took a deep breath and felt a sense of relief it was over now and I hoped I wouldn't receive any more calls from him I was determined
to protect my peaceful life just then I heard my baby crying from the other room and rush to comfort them it turned out that David started paying child support every month a former colleague of mine mentioned that David's new wife was a big spender and he ended up using debts to cover his living expenses it seemed David had hoped to get a share of my inheritance by reaching out to me but since he didn't get any money from me he was now facing more expenses than his income could handle he struggled possibly because things were
going poorly or because he couldn't stand being looked down upon by his colleagues adding to his troubles he only started searching for a new job after leaving his previous one which led him to financial difficulties hearing this didn't make me feel sorry for him I felt he deserved the hardships he was facing the harsh words and cold Behavior he showed me were Unforgettable and I hoped he got what he deserved meanwhile I'm enjoying life with my parents and my baby with no Financial worries I'm excited about the future especially since my father mentioned passing the
company on to me I'm ready to work hard
