Chapter 7\u00a0<\/p>\n
Edward\u2019s face went stone cold-I\u2019d never seen him this angry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I pulled up the next slide. A hospital discharge summary.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Spontaneous abortion at 5 weeks gestation secondary to anaphylactic shock and hypoxia.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Patient: Whitney Robinson.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Edward\u2019s eyes went wide.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSeven years married, and Mr. Smith has always known about my severe cilantro allergy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I brought up Ruby\u2019s photo-that pasta drowning in cilantro.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut someone else loves it. And somehow, he got us mixed up. Made me breakfast with cilantro in it. I went into shock and barely made it to the hospital alive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I survived-but our baby didn\u2019t. Five weeks along.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I locked eyes with him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou killed your own child, Edward.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The room erupted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Women started shouting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBITCH! She knew he was married and still went after him! Does she think we\u2019re blind? We all see what she\u2019s been doing!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cExactly! Bringing him lunch every damn day, acting like his girlfriend-desperate much? Who throws themselves at a married man like that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDisgusting! But he\u2019s just as bad. Plays the perfect husband in public, but when some girl starts flirting, he doesn\u2019t shut it down? That\u2019s basically giving her permission!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCan\u2019t even remember his wife\u2019s ALLERGY-and he almost killed her! God, men love playing the victim!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I walked up to Edward-still standing there in shock-and shoved the divorce papers and my resignation letter into his hands.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSign them. Or I\u2019ll see you in court.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When I first asked Edward for a divorce, I didn\u2019t tell him about the baby.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Because I knew exactly how he\u2019d react.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was always so perfect-thoughtful, considerate, the model husband.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In front of me, my parents, everyone. Gentle, patient, understanding.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Friends, coworkers, my own family-they all said the same thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 7\u00a0<\/p>\n
How lucky I was. How Edward was one of the good ones.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His reputation was spotless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So every time we fought, people would take me aside and tell me to stop being so difficult.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If I\u2019d told him about the miscarriage right away, he would\u2019ve dropped to his knees instantly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Made this huge show of apologizing-publicly, tearfully-so everyone could see how sorry he was, how humble, how broken.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And I would\u2019ve been the heartless bitch who couldn\u2019t forgive one honest mistake.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So I waited.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I had to rip off his mask in front of everyone first.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Outside the window, the city kept moving.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I stared at the equity transfer agreement and signed without hesitation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This company was mine as much as his.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u2019d built it right alongside him-worked just as hard, sacrificed just as much.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I wasn\u2019t walking away empty-handed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I sold my shares in stages and officially resigned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If I was divorcing him, I wanted zero ties left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I had savings, investments, a solid portfolio.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I could start my own firm. I didn\u2019t need to be anyone\u2019s wife to succeed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When the final transfer cleared, I let out a long breath.\u00a0<\/p>\n
