Single Mom Defies Husband

The private hospital's upper floor housed the postpartum care center where Lina Jenkins had already secured the most exclusive package, complete with a team of six nannies and newborn care specialists prepared to assist her. She assembled them to explain their responsibilities.

"The tasks are simple," she instructed. "First, take excellent care of me and my baby. Second, no one except me should be near my child. Especially anyone posing as my husband or mother-in-law; they are strictly prohibited from coming close."

Lina delivered these instructions with a composed demeanor, having made this decision firmly long beforehand. Jazlyn's birth signified the start of a definitive separation from her family.

As the holiday season approached, Lina thought ahead to Thanksgiving preparations. She envisioned the inviting scent of roasted turkey wafting through the air and imagined herself quietly savoring a cup of coffee. Determined to celebrate the festive season in her own manner, she planned for Jazlyn's first experiences to be filled with happiness and comfort, away from the chaos of family obligations.

While designing Jazlyn’s nursery, Lina opted for Victorian-style decor, envisioning a whimsical and calming atmosphere. She imagined future tea parties where coffee would take the place of traditional tea, reflecting the lifestyle she now aimed to cultivate for her family.

Gazing out from the hospital, she observed the vibrant city below, reminiscent of the charming villages in the Alps she aspired to visit. She contemplated her new ambitions, career path, and breaking free from the constraints that had previously held her back, perhaps even considering employment at a renowned company like Amazon, rather than those linked to her past.

Resolved in her desire for a fresh beginning, Lina watched her baby daughter sleeping peacefully, unaware of the world she would soon discover.
