The pregnancy test showed two pink lines, and pure joy surged through me.
I, Ethan Miller, was finally going to be a father.
But then my wife, Sophia, dropped a bomb that shattered everything.
"The child isn't yours, Ethan. It's Liam's."
The world tilted.
My perfect life, a fragile lie built on Sophia' s deceit, crumbled.
Tragedy compounded days later: Sophia was in a car accident, a miscarriage.
Liam, her lover, was behind the wheel.
Then, at a company gala, Sophia, radiant and cruel, seized a microphone.
Her eyes, cold and furious, locked onto mine.
"My husband, Ethan Miller," she announced, her voice dripping with venom, "is a monster."
She publicly accused me of sabotaging her, of causing her miscarriage out of jealousy.
The accusation was so monstrous, so far from the truth, I could only stand paralyzed.
