Like other women, I gave my spouse a lot of
leeway.
I thought maybe if we had a baby, he would
change.
baby
But now, he killed our baby.
I knew he was never going to change.
I was not going to stand between them again.
But first, I was going to collect my due.
I woke up in a hospital room again.
I heard nurses complaining.
“Bad things happen to good people, and good
things happen to bad people.”
“The grandma is still in a coma, but the son
dropped the charges.”
I lifted myself up and looked at the nurse.
く
“You’re friends with Brittany.”
“She dropped the charges, but I didn’t.”
The nurse left, and Chad came in.
“You can’t let go of things, can you?”
“I worked hard to get Brittany to drop the
charges.”
I looked at Chad.
He looked startled by my expression.
“You should apologize to Brittany and this will
go away.”
Apologize to her?
く
I snorted.
“I will not apologize to her, I want her in
prison.”
Chad grabbed me.
His fist was twitching, but he was holding
back.
“You are being crazy, what’s wrong with
you?”
“I did so much for you, but you’re fighting
Brittany.”
I handed Chad the papers that I had hidden
under my pillow.

“I already signed them.”
“Brittany caused the fire to happen. She
wanted me and our baby dead.”
Chad grabbed the papers and dropped them
on me.
“How can you have so little humanity? I’m
trying to help you, you don’t have a right to
do this to me!”
The nurse called Chad and said that his mom
was awake.
Chad ran out of the room.
I followed him to his mom’s room.
Chad kneeled.

“Mom, you are awake. You can’t blame Chad,
I must have spoiled her.”
His mom slapped him and didn’t say anything.
Chad was shocked.
“Mom, I know that you are mad, but our baby
is gone.”
“I can’t put her in jail, I…”
“I don’t want her to be hurt.”
I laughed.
He thought that his mom was mad because
he had married the wrong person.

His mom yelled. “She caused the fire?”
