I believed the happiest day of my life was marrying Michael. But when I became pregnant, I anticipated that the birth of our child would surpass it. However, it marked the beginning of a nightmare.<\/p>\n
Michael had promised to be by my side during the birth, but when the time came, he was absent. I waited, calling him repeatedly, but he didn’t answer. My mother was there, but she didn’t provide any answers.<\/p>\n
After two days in the hospital, we returned home. The house was eerily quiet. Upstairs, I found the nursery nearly empty, with only a note in the crib:<\/p>\n
“I love you and our baby, Elena. But I have to leave forever. Ask your mom why she did this.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Confronting my mother, she revealed that Michael had been having an affair with his boss, Gretchen. She had confronted him, and he chose to leave.<\/p>\n
I later reached Michael, who confirmed it. He had fallen in love with Gretchen and was starting a new life with her. He promised to transfer the house to my name.<\/p>\n
Michael never contacted me again. He disappeared from our lives, leaving me to raise Emily alone.<\/p>\n
