The morning light filtered through our bedroom windows as I traced my fingers over the gentle curve of my stomach. Four months along, and I could already feel the subtle changes in my body—the slight roundness, the tender sensitivity. Our miracle. Our future. "Gabriel, do you think it's a boy or a girl?" I asked, watching my husband adjust his silk tie in the mirror. His reflection caught my eye, handsome and distant all at once. "Hmm?" He glanced at me through the reflection, his mind clearly elsewhere. "Oh, I don't know, Isabella. Either is fine." I smiled despite the familiar pang in my chest. Gabriel had been distracted lately—work stress, he claimed.

Chapter 1 of My Groom Abandoned Our Dying Baby

The morning light filtered through our bedroom windows as I traced my fingers over the gentle curve of my stomach. Four months along, and I could already feel the subtle changes in my body—the slight roundness, the tender sensitivity. Our miracle. Our future.

"Gabriel, do you think it's a boy or a girl?" I asked, watching my husband adjust his silk tie in the mirror. His reflection caught my eye, handsome and distant all at once.

"Hmm?" He glanced at me through the reflection, his mind clearly elsewhere. "Oh, I don't know, Isabella. Either is fine."

I smiled despite the familiar pang in my chest. Gabriel had been distracted lately—work stress, he claimed. I chose to believe him because that's what love does. It trusts. It hopes.

"I was thinking Alexander for a boy," I continued, smoothing my dress over my barely-there bump. "After your grandfather. Or maybe Lily for a girl, like the flowers in your mother's garden where we had our first kiss."

Gabriel's phone buzzed. Again. The third time in ten minutes. He checked it quickly, his expression shifting in a way I pretended not to notice.

"We should get going," he said, slipping the phone into his pocket. "Don't want to be late for the appointment."

Our Upper East Side penthouse felt especially bright today, sunlight bouncing off the marble countertops as we made our way to the elevator. I'd spent weeks researching the best obstetricians in Manhattan, finally settling on Dr. Winters at Mount Sinai. Today would be our first real glimpse of our baby—not just a flutter on a screen but a defined little person with fingers and toes.

In the garage, Gabriel helped me into our black SUV, his touch gentle but mechanical. I watched his profile as he started the engine, wondering what thoughts swirled behind those deep blue eyes I'd loved since childhood.

"I've been thinking about the nursery," I said as we pulled into the morning traffic. "Maybe that soft green color? Gender-neutral but still warm."

"Sure," Gabriel replied, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. "Whatever you think is best."

I reached across the console and placed my hand on his arm. "Hey, are you okay? You seem a million miles away."

He covered my hand with his, squeezing briefly. "Just thinking about the Wilson account. Big presentation tomorrow."

I nodded, swallowing my disappointment. This moment—our baby's first real checkup—should have been sacred, untouchable by work concerns. But I understood pressure. I understood Gabriel.

The FDR Drive stretched before us, the East River glittering in the morning sun. I closed my eyes briefly, imagining our future—a nursery filled with soft toys, midnight feedings with Gabriel by my side, first steps, first words. The family I'd longed for since losing my mother, since the Sterlings had taken me in and given me a home.

"Do you remember that summer in the Hamptons?" I asked suddenly. "When you gave me that seashell and promised you'd always protect me?"

Gabriel's lips curved into a small smile. "We were just kids."

"But you meant it," I insisted. "I still have that shell, you know. I thought maybe we could put it in the nursery, pass down the story to our baby."

His phone buzzed again. This time, I caught a glimpse of the name on the screen before he quickly turned it over.

Victoria.

My heart stuttered, but I forced myself to breathe. Victoria Hayes was his past. I was his present, his future, carrying his child. I had nothing to fear.

"Gabriel, I—"

The world exploded.

Metal screamed against metal as something slammed into us from the side. The SUV lurched violently, and I felt myself airborne for a terrifying moment before pain crashed through me. We were rolling, the world spinning in a kaleidoscope of shattered glass and twisted metal.

When everything finally stopped, I was hanging upside down, held by my seatbelt. Blood trickled down my face, warm and sticky. Outside, horns blared and voices shouted.

"Gabriel?" I whispered, my voice a ragged thing. "Gabriel, the baby..."

I turned my head, wincing at the sharp pain in my neck. Gabriel was fumbling with his seatbelt, his movements frantic. Relief washed over me—he was alive, conscious.

"Help," I gasped, reaching for him. "Please, call for help."

Gabriel freed himself, falling awkwardly against the crumpled roof of the car. He crawled toward the shattered window, pulling himself out onto the asphalt.

"Gabriel!" I cried louder, panic rising as a sharp pain knifed through my abdomen. "I'm stuck! The baby!"

Through the broken window, I watched as Gabriel stumbled to his feet. Bystanders were rushing toward our mangled vehicle, but Gabriel wasn't looking at me. He was staring at his phone, miraculously intact in his hand.

His fingers moved across the screen, and I heard his voice, clear despite the chaos around us.

"Victoria? It's me. There's been an accident."

Just like the evening breeze leaves no trace
Just like the evening breeze leaves no trace
Chapter 1 It was their seventh wedding anniversary. Carolyn found the divorce agreement in Roger’s nightstand. The pages were covered in scribbles and corrections, as if he’d agonized over them for years. *"If, during the marriage, I fall in love with another person, I voluntarily relinquish all assets and leave with nothing. Asset details as follows…"* His first impulse had been to walk away empty-handed. But the asset section told a different story—a mess of revisions. First, he’d crossed out the property he intended to give her. Then, the fifty million earmarked for her was scratched out and replaced with five hundred thousand. Finally, as if in penance, he had written a single line. *"Better to have Carolyn leave with nothing. No choice, Catherine is pregnant."* … Carolyn sank onto the bed, disbelief washing over her. On the agreement, Roger’s signature was clean and decisive, without a hint of hesitation. And the document had been drafted seven years ago—the very year they married. That year, Roger had been willing to give up everything for her. Yet every year after, he had crossed out another piece of their shared life. Now, seven years later, the one leaving with nothing would be her. Her phone buzzed abruptly. A message from Roger. *"Urgent business. Won't be back."* She called, only to find his phone already switched off. Another notification flashed—a screenshot from a friend. Catherine, the student she sponsored, had posted on social media. *"Wow, got praised! To commemorate my first period without a leak, the big boss said we should celebrate properly!"* In a nine-photo collage, Roger gazed at her, eyes crinkling with affection as he fastened a dazzling gemstone necklace around her neck. The post was tagged at a couples-themed hotel. Carolyn’s breath caught. He couldn’t remember seven years of marriage, of weathering storms together—but he could find the energy to celebrate Catherine’s… leak-free period. And that pendant… she’d seen it at an auction just last week. It was her mother’s lost heirloom. She’d been ready to bid when her bank card was frozen. She’d asked Roger why. A long time later, he finally texted back, telling her not to waste money on such impractical things. Clutching her bidding paddle, she’d sat helplessly in the auction hall. In the end, she resolved to sell one of her own designs to raise the funds. But someone on the phone swooped in with an unbeatable offer and took it. For weeks afterward, Carolyn hated herself—hated that she couldn’t protect her mother’s last keepsake. She never imagined the one who snatched it away was Roger. He knew exactly how much that pendant meant to her. Yet he gave it to Catherine. Even on their seventh anniversary, Roger had lied about being busy with work, while wining and dining the girl she’d sponsored. The anniversary gift he left her was a divorce agreement demanding she leave with nothing. Seven years of marriage. Seven years of infidelity. And Carolyn had known nothing. She’d even introduced the other woman to him herself. Catherine was the impoverished student Carolyn sponsored. The first time Catherine came to their home to give thanks, Roger found her intrusive and disliked her on sight. *"That girl has no manners. Tracked mud all over my cashmere rug."* *"If her grades aren’t up to par, cut the sponsorship."* Back then, Carolyn had teased him, saying not to be jealous—it was good the girl had a grateful heart. She never once suspected Roger and Catherine. For seven years, everyone in their circle believed Roger never played around. That he loved only Carolyn. But by their next meeting, Catherine had become Roger’s personal assistant. Roger explained, *"The girl’s had it tough. You’ve sponsored her for years. Giving her a job is just helping you out."* Carolyn had laughed it off. Now, hands trembling, she opened Catherine’s social media feed. Catherine had always hidden her posts from Carolyn. Now, she seemed desperate to flaunt everything. While Carolyn drank until her stomach bled to secure a deal for Roger, Catherine was using Roger’s card to buy her first Louis Vuitton. While Carolyn changed bedpans for Roger’s bedridden grandmother, Roger was taking Catherine to a perfume atelier for a blending class—calling it a business trip. Catherine had even complained online. *"Your wife is such a pampered princess. Can't handle the tiniest thing without you running back. Can she not live without a man?"* And Roger had replied beneath it. *"If she were half as independent as you, I’d have an easier life."* But that day… Carolyn’s mother had lost her battle with cancer. She’d cried until her heart felt shredded, scrambling to handle the arrangements. All the while, Roger kept checking his phone impatiently, eager to leave. Not for work, she realized now—but because he was desperate to get back to Catherine.
