My Husband Asked Me to Take the Fall for Him, I Kicked Him Away

Jane hadn't been staying at my place for long when we both were nearing our due dates. She just happened to feel it first.

That day, we were chatting on the balcony while Jayden was in the room working.

"Oh, my stomach hurts! Jayden, take me to the hospital, I think I'm going into labor!" Jane cried out from her chair, panic in her voice.

She lay back in the wicker chair, yelling in distress.

I rushed over to help her, but she accidentally tripped me. I fell hard, landing on my stomach.

"Jayden, help! I'm going into labor too," I said, clutching my stomach as I felt blood.

"Ruby, I'll call your parents to take you to the hospital. Jane looks like she's in worse shape, so I'll take her first," Jayden shouted as he ran out, scooping up Jane in his arms, but not before offering me some reassurance.

Hearing our cries, Jayden rushed out, carrying Jane and running off. He still managed to throw some comforting words my way.

A wave of pain and bitterness washed over me. "So this is how it is? I don't even rank above my best friend in his eyes."

I watched them disappear, speechless. To be treated like this, it felt like I had completely failed in life.

The door slammed shut. I was left alone, anxiously waiting for my parents to take me to the hospital. At this point, I could barely move.

I waited and waited, but no one came. Even if they hadn't supported my marriage to Jayden, my parents wouldn't just abandon me like this.

Slowly, I crawled toward my phone on the couch, leaving a red trail behind me.

"Mom, Dad, I'm about to give birth, and Jayden's not here. Please, come quickly," I said weakly, on the verge of passing out from dehydration.

"What? He didn't tell us he wasn't home. We're coming right away. Hang in there," my dad said, frantic.

My mom was urging him from the background.

As I drifted into unconsciousness, my last thought was that Jayden would probably come back to see me once I got to the hospital.
