My Husband’s Toxic Childhood Sweetheart novel Chapter 2

Chapter 2 I Was the Only Victim

Chapter 2 I Was the Only Victim

That was the first time I had ever seen Finn look so torn and so fragile. With tears in my eyes, I nodded and agreed not to hold Grace accountable.

But that miscarriage wrecked my uterus.

To get pregnant again, I downed three bowls of herbal medicine every day. I lost count of the needles they stuck in me.

Finn put his company on the back burner and stayed glued to my side.

And whenever he was around, Grace acted completely normal. She was lively and cute. There was not a hint of the explosive

disorder.

A year later, I finally got pregnant again.

Then one morning, Finn ran downstairs to grab me my favorite doughnuts just for a minute. Grace was with me.

That was when Grace snapped again. She kicked me square in the stomach.

And just like that, the same sick show repeated itself.

After I was discharged from the hospital, I threw every last thing Grace owned out the door.

My hair was a mess, and I screamed hysterically with a grim look, “Listen, Finn! You must kick her out, or I’ll leave instead!”

Only then did Finn give in.

I thought that in that way, I could protect myself from being hurt by Grace.

But I never expected that Finn gave Grace a spare key to our house.

The place that should have been my warmest and safest sanctuary witnessed my third baby’s death.

Lost in my memories, I stayed quiet too long. Finn’s face pinched with worry.

He said, “Ella, I love you. I’ll never divorce you.”

I didn’t even look at him and kept my eyes locked on Grace.

She screamed about killing herself to make it up. Meanwhile, her body remained pressed against Finn tightly.

I easily caught the hate flicker across her face.

It was only then that it hit me that I was the only victim of her explosive disorder.

She was using it to hurt me again and again to prove she was the one Finn cared about most.

And after everything she had put me through, I thought she was right.

Rage took over. I lunged for the water cup on the table and hurled it at Grace.

snapped, “Grace! You killed my babies on purpose! Fine. I’ll divorce him. You two can have each other. Are you happy now?”

She yelped when the cup hit her, crumpling to the floor in tears.

Finn snapped back, “Ella, have you lost your mind?”
