Divorcing My Mafia Husband While Nine Months Pregnant

Deciding to keep finding out about Kade's affair, I angrily wiped my tears and kept going. I knew I shouldn't be doing this because it was bad for the baby. I was aware that stress could lead to pregnancy complications, especially since I was due to give birth soon, but as if Hailey's life was a highly valued drug, I couldn't resist getting to know her; she became my addiction.

I wanted to know everything, no matter how much it was killing me, so I kept checking, scrolling, and zooming non-stop. My heart kept sinking the more I checked the dates of her posts with my husband, but one particular photo stood out the most.

It highlighted her slender hand being held upright, sporting a massive 14k yellow gold jade cabochon & diamond ring, and in the background, you could see two blurry figures standing on a balcony near the Eiffel Tower, sharing a passionate kiss.

"Ah, Paris, you are indeed the city of love. My heart and day are full. Thank you for the precious gift, mon amour," the caption read.

New tears started pouring out of my eyes as I checked the date. It was the same day we lost our first child. The same day I woke up bleeding and in pain, all alone. At that time, Kade was out of the country supposedly taking care of business. The hospital and I kept calling him, but no one could reach him because the calls automatically went to his voicemail.

I worried about him at that time because I thought that something bad had happened to him, but now I finally understood what the reason was. Though it was true that he traveled to France, he lied about the reason.

He was only in Paris to celebrate Hailey's birthday. He chose her over me, who was fighting hard not to lose our first child, and in the end, no matter how hard I prayed and begged, I still lost the battle.

When he finally went home and learned about my miscarriage, he said nothing, but his disappointment in me was evident because of that; I never got over our loss. It became my biggest regret, and I kept blaming myself even after I got pregnant again.

I screamed at the top of my lungs, wanting to hurl things, especially at them. I wanted to hurt them the way I was hurting now, but what could I do at this point except to keep stalking the other woman? Besides, I had no means of going after them now.

A moment later, I gasped when I realized that I unknowingly reacted to her last photo. Since I wasn't a big fan of social media, I panicked because I didn't know how to undo what I did. To my surprise, I received a notification from Hailey, requesting for us to be connected. Gathering courage, I accepted the request and waited.

Not long after, she sent me a message. There was no formal greeting, no acknowledgment; she simply sent more pictures of them, but these were far different from the ones I had been viewing. These pictures were more intimate, more sensual, and taken during their secret rendezvous.

Since I couldn't take the disrespect and deception coming from them, I angrily typed my response.

"Do you know who I am?" I watched as the dots on the screen danced for a while.

"Of course. How could anyone not recognize who the great Ava Moretti is?"

Infuriated by her arrogance and mockery, I asked how long she had been seeing my husband.

“Does it matter?” she answered, followed by a winking icon.

"Oh, it does. It really does," I shot back.

Instead of answering, she sent videos of Kade worshiping her, telling her how beautiful she was and that he loved her so much. Words he once said to me. What made it worse was that he looked like he was in love. He was giving her "the look." The kind of look he once had for me. The kind of look that said that he was willing to jump in front of a bullet for you.

My hand clenched around my phone, feeling the urge to throw it out the window. And as I was about to do just that, Hailey sent one last photo; an ultrasound—one that looked exactly like mine in my early months of pregnancy. Cold sweat started breaking out all over my body as I read her words over and over.

"Guess what? Kade and I are also having a baby!"
