He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 1

Seven years of marriage. The very day Helena Wallace found out she was pregnant.

Sebastian Hayes's first love was also pregnant.

...

Riverton, outside Kingsbridge General Hospital.

Helena sat in her car, clutching a medical report that read: [Pregnancy Confirmed].

After seven years of marriage, she was finally having a baby again.

At seven weeks, the heartbeat was already audible.

She thought Sebastian would be thrilled by the news.

But the moment she picked up her phone, she froze. She saw him.

Helena stared through the car window, her gaze fixed outside.

Sebastian was fiercely protective as he escorted a woman into the hospital.

It was just a fleeting glance, but she recognized Janetta Ramirez instantly.

The A-list actress had numerous endorsement deals with The Hayes Corporation.

The number of photos Janetta had taken with Sebastian in a single year outnumbered the photos Helena had taken with her own husband over their entire seven-year marriage.

Their marriage was a secret, so no one knew Helena was Mrs. Hayes.

The undeniable chemistry between Sebastian and Janetta made everyone assume Janetta was the real Mrs. Hayes.

Every major event Janetta attended, Sebastian was there in the front row.

When they first got married, Helena had minded.

Sebastian had kept it brief: Janetta brought immense profit to the company, and as Mrs. Hayes, Helena needed to be gracious, not unreasonably jealous.

Naturally, she couldn't afford to offend Janetta over something so trivial.

Helena had believed him.

But seeing it with her own eyes now, that suffocating wave of discomfort was sharper than ever.

Suddenly, her phone buzzed with an entertainment headline.

[Janetta Ramirez Spotted in Loose Clothing, Rumored to Be Pregnant.]

Was Janetta pregnant?
