After numerous unsuccessful IVF attempts, I finally conceived despite my husband's low sperm count.
As I was battling severe morning sickness, my husband was commemorating his third year with his assistant. She shared a WhatsApp update showing him meticulously cutting her steak, captioned: [Such a thoughtful boss... I'll serve him forever...]
Fighting my queasiness, I approved the post. Soon after, he phoned me, saying, "What's your issue now? You're useless lately, just being sick. Louise takes care of everything for me. You should appreciate her reducing your workload!"
I retorted sarcastically, "Sure, I'll express my gratitude later!"
"You've changed! Has pregnancy made you forget yourself?" He berated me before abruptly ending the call.
I sighed deeply. Indeed, I'd been away so long, I'd nearly forgotten my own name.
I dialed a number I hadn't used in years, "Charlie, arrange a flight for tomorrow. I'm returning to Chicago."

My Husband's Assistant Stole My Life

Troy glared at the screen, his expression dark and foreboding as he watched the flood of entertainment news reports. He turned to Louise, his fists clenched in anger. "Did you orchestrate this media frenzy?"


Unaware of the gravity of her actions, Louise beamed with pride. "What if I did? Troy, didn't you profess your love for me? Didn't you say Felicia meant nothing to you anymore?"


"If it weren't for her pregnancy, you would have ended your marriage long ago. Now that she's lost the baby and I'm carrying your child instead..."


"You even proposed to me at the hospital. Why keep it a secret? Why shouldn't I let the press cover it?" Her self-satisfaction was cut short as Troy's hand struck her cheek.


"You fool!" Troy exploded, "Felicia would never have done something so reckless!"


Louise, consumed by her own elation, had failed to consider Troy's position. She was oblivious to how this news would tarnish his reputation and invite public scrutiny.
