The Act of Love

I miscarry after happening upon my husband, Xavier Leeson, being intimate with someone else.

He kneels before me and explains that his loyalty toward me has never swayed. I look at the man who's loved me for nine years and waited for me for five years. Ultimately, I still choose to believe him.

After an arduous process of trying to conceive another child, I finally get pregnant again. That's when I accidentally overhear him complaining to his colleagues.

"The thought of her being with her ex for five years makes me think that even the children she has are dirty."
