Meanwhile, Peter was busy at work when his phone buzzed.
He got an anonymous message saying Stacey was at the hospital getting medicine for an abortion, along with a picture of her at the doctor’s office as proof.
Shocked and angry, Peter left work immediately and went home.
Stacey knew Peter would be at work all day, so she thought it was the perfect time to have an abortion. If anyone asked, she could say she fell down the stairs by mistake.
No one would find out.
Without a baby, Stacey thought no one could prove she cheated.
She was about to take the medicine the doctor gave her when she heard the door lock.
Was Peter home already?
Feeling scared, she quickly hid the medicine under the sofa cushion and sat down, trying to act normal.
“Stacey!” Peter’s voice sounded angry as soon as he walked in.
“Peter, what’s wrong? Weren’t you supposed to be at work? Why are you home so early?” Stacey’s voice shook a bit as she talked.
