I had gained thirty pounds after I was pregnant for six months.

My husband, Jordan Smith felt disgusted by me. He would rather stay at work than come home, and he fell in love with his girl best friend, Holly Brown.

On our wedding anniversary, they were acting intimately in a private room. Meanwhile, Holly was wearing my wedding gown. I saw the whole thing with my own eyes.

She had her arms around Jordan’s neck and said to me coyly, “It’s not what you think.”

Jordan was agitated after he was caught cheating on me.

“I’ve known her since we were kids. We have been best friends for so many years. If something were to happen between us, it would have happened a long time ago.”

However, I saw the hickey on Holly’s shoulder.

She said to Jordan, “Your wife looks obese. My cousin didn’t gain a single pound after she had given birth. Instead, she looked even slimmer. Jordan, did your wife secretly eat pig feed?”

Jordan felt embarrassed. He instructed someone to lock me in a bedroom and starve me for a few days.

I suffered from a miscarriage. Indeed, I lost the weight on my abdomen, but Jordan went insane.

On our wedding anniversary, I waited for my husband, Jordan Smith, to return home.

I only received a call from him late at night.

“I’m working overtime tonight, so I won’t be going back. You…”

I heard a clear female voice beside him, so I asked loudly, “Jordan, what are you doing?”

His voice turned cold as he impatiently replied, “Are you accusing me of cheating? Colhern Didley, you’re always thinking the worst of others because you’re a horrible person!”

After he ended the call, I received a text message.

[Come to River Avenue, I want to show you something good.]

I did not know who sent me the text message; I just rushed over.

In the biggest club on River Avenue, I saw Jordan in one of the private rooms. Holly Brown was leaning against him while dressed in an off-shoulder top.

She was grinding against Jordan as she raised her hand, which was previously wrapped around him.

“Jordan, stop it!”

I felt my heart sink and turn cold.

I had a good guess on who had sent me that text message.

On our first anniversary, Jordan was cheating on me with his childhood best friend.

Everyone was chatting and laughing in the private room. Jordan’s friends were teasing him, too.

“Jordan, you’re so brave. Aren’t you worried that Colhern’s going to find out?”

When they brought me up, Jordan sounded incredibly annoyed.

“Colhern? She looks like an old pig after she gained weight from her pregnancy. Don’t you know I lose my appetite just by looking at her face? She still asks me why I’m not eating. If she gets out of my face, I’d eat faster than lightning!”

Holly pretended to say something on my behalf, but she was actually mocking me.

“Jordan, she only got pregnant because of you. How could you treat her like that?”

While Jordan cooed at her, he continued complaining to his friends.

My arrival interrupted the wonderful atmosphere of their gathering.

“Colhern, why are you here?”

I clenched my fists as everyone stared at me in shock.

“Jordan, I’m pregnant with your child, and I’ve gone through so many hardships because of you. Don’t you remember any of that?”

I met Jordan while we were in college. At that time, he was a poor boy. I remained by his side as he hustled.

We got married after he was promoted to a senior leadership position. Following our marriage, I soon got pregnant.

At first, Jordan would act as though he cared about me. But after a while, he dropped the facade.

This was especially so after my first trimester. I gained almost thirty pounds and could not even stand up due to the water retention in my thighs. My face was also extremely swollen.

I knew every single one of his friends in the private room. In college, these people always sought out escorts. Jordan would always put on a pitiful expression and say, “I didn’t hire an escort, even though they did.”

I actually believed him.

I was shaking from anger as I stood there. Holly looked smug, and she did not move away from Jordan in the slightest.

“Colhern’s here! Colhern, don’t blame Jordan. He just couldn’t help himself. There’s nothing between us!”

However, her half-dressed body, which was covered in hickeys, was mocking me.

Jordan’s friends supported her claims.

“Colhern, Jordan’s wrong, but you should understand him. This is just how men are!”

“That’s right, Colhern. Don’t be angry at Jordan. We’ll drink as an apology to you. You should just let this go!”

Jordan’s face was red with anger. He looked like he wanted to slap me across the face.

“Why are you accusing me of cheating? Holly and I have known each other for decades. If something was between us, you wouldn’t have stood a chance!”

I stared at the hickeys on Holly’s body as I listened to Jordan’s defensive words.

“She’s just my girl best friend!”

I did not say a single word. I only stared at the wedding gown Holly was wearing.

It was a custom-made gown that Jordan had purchased. It was extremely expensive. Jordan had once said that he wanted me to wear a unique piece.

He was using my wedding gown as a tool for him to flirt with Holly. The white collar had been stained with lipstick and wine.

I let out a deep sigh as I said in a low voice.

“Jordan, let’s get a divorce.”

Jordan finally could not hold himself back. He carried Holly in his arms as he rushed toward me.

“Colhern, who do you think you are to ask for a divorce?

“If you give birth to the child, your identity in my family would be solidified. So what if I cheat on you? You’re still gaining something effortlessly.”

My sadness overshadowed my anger as tears streamed down my face.

Jordan finally softened his tone when he saw my tears.

“As long as you don’t interrupt my private life, you’re still my wife. Those women are just playthings to me. They’re the motels, and only you’re my home.”

Holly pinched Jordan’s waist disapprovingly.

“Who are you referring to as a motel?”

I felt an urge to vomit when I saw them acting intimately before me.

“Ah!”

Holly screamed as I threw up all over Jordan and her.

Holly was furious. She rushed over to grab my hair.

“B*tch! You ruined my wedding gown!”

I was choking and coughing. I stuttered.

“That’s… my… wedding gown…”

A loud slap shocked everyone at the scene. Everyone fell quiet.

Holly was breathing heavily. I felt a burning sensation on my cheek.

She pushed me. I fell to the floor. There was an intense pain in my abdomen.

I started bleeding profusely.

“Ouch! Save me! Someone, save me!”

Everyone was clueless. I was the only person who knew that if I was bleeding during pregnancy, it either meant a miscarriage, or worse, my death.

I started crawling on the floor. Jordan’s friends were laughing at me.

“Colhern, you’re someone with status. You have to take care of your image when you’re out. Why are you acting like a b*tch?”

I almost passed out from the pain. I gathered the last bit of strength that I had and grabbed Jordan’s pants.

“Send me to the hospital…

“I’m having a miscarriage…”

Jordan felt something was wrong when he saw the blood trickling down my legs.

He asked me anxiously, “Are you alright? Why are you bleeding so much?”

My lips were pale. I could not even say a single word because of the pain.

“Colhern, are you really suffering from a miscarriage?”

Jordan pushed Holly aside and rushed toward me. He looked very concerned.

Holly continued being sarcastic.

“Jordan, I bet she’s having her period. Do you really think she’s having a miscarriage?”

After hearing Holly’s words, Jordan fully believed her.

He dropped me onto the floor angrily and kicked my leg.

“Do you have to do this to gain my affection from Holly? You’re so shameless. I’m going to be the butt of the joke in my friend group!”

Holly leaned her head against Jordan’s shoulder as she stared at him lovingly.

“Jordan, don’t be angry at Colhern just because of me. Colhern must have had too much pig feed, that’s why something is wrong with her brain. She’s still pregnant. Why are you kicking her?”

I reached out my hand in pain. My fingers left a few blood-stained as I clawed against the floor.

“Please call an ambulance… help me…”

Jordan’s friends were all laughing.

“Colhern, you have such good acting skills. If you don’t win an Oscar, we would think that the awards are rigged!”

Jordan’s expression turned cold.

“Why are you pretending to be hurt? Would anyone believe you? Get lost and go home now. Stop embarrassing me!”

I also wanted to leave.

I wanted to escape from this place. I wanted to divorce Jordan.

But I could not do it.

I could not even stand up. I could only beg them over and over again.

“It’s impossible for me to have a period when I’m pregnant. This is common knowledge. Holly is lying to you. Please get me an ambulance, or else I might die…”

My face turned pale, and my lips were turning blue from the blood loss. One of Jordan’s friends started to be worried.

“Jordan, I feel Colhern is really weak now. What if we…”

“Shut up!”

Jordan yelled angrily.

“Are you her husband, or am I her husband? I’m telling you, no one should pay any attention to her. She’s just putting on an act!”

Jordan squatted down before me. He stared at me in interest as I wriggled on the ground like an animal.

“How long have I been with you? Do you think I won’t see you through?”

I shut my eyes in despair. I tried to reach and grab my phone.

Just a little more… Just a little more and I could…

“Ah!”

Jordan stepped on my hand that was reaching out to grab my phone. He said viciously, “Witch, are you planning to call an ambulance to complete your act? Or are you planning to call the cops and have us all arrested? Why do I have such an immature wife like you? I was blind to marry you! If you were not pregnant with my child, I wouldn’t even spare you a bite of food!”

I almost fainted from the extreme pain coming from my hand.

Jordan instructed his friends to extend the private room booking to three days and forbade anyone from entering.

He ground his leather shoe against my fingers.

“You embarrassed me in front of my friends. Shouldn’t I teach you a lesson?”
