When Forever Wasn't Enough
561 Views · Ongoing · Agatha Christie
I was dying in an emergency room when my husband chose his ex-girlfriend over me.
"Stop being dramatic, Olivia," Matthew said over the sound of champagne and laughter. "Rebecca's gallery opening is tonight."
Dramatic? I was hemorrhaging from a miscarriage, signing my own surgical consent because my husband of seven years couldn't be bothered to save my life.
While I flatlined twice on the operating table, Instagram showed him tenderly wrapping his coat around Rebecca under fireworks.
Seven years of marriage. Seven years of being his backup plan while she remained his priority.
I survived that night, but something inside me died forever.
I signed the divorce papers with the same pen I'd used for my surgical consent—alone.
