when he saw me
“Sophia!” he exclaimed, rushing over. “Look at these! I bought everything for the baby, the bottles, clothes, toys. Teves decorated tar det any so aundi your favorite style”
Linda followed close behind, visibly upset.
When Ryan saw her, he froze, then panicked. He pushed her toward the door.
“Leave! I need to talk to Sophia!”
Linda stumbled, furious.
Ryan, are you insane? I just came back from a hospital checkup for our baby, and you’re treating me like this?
Ignoring her protests, Ryan tried to show me the baby’s room.
“Sophia, I even updated my will. All my assets will go to our son. No one else will get a penny
Linda screamed from the hallway, pounding on the door.
“Ryan, you’re insane! What about me and my baby?

I placed the divorce papers on top of the poses.

Ryan’s face turned bright red, and he couldn’t think of a response.
He looked at me with bloodshot eyes.
“Sophia, do you really have to be so heartless? Not for my sake, but for our baby’s? Please, forgive me. If you give me one more chance, I swear I’ll be the perfect partner and father.”
Just then, my mother returned with our baby after his checkup.
Ryan’s eyes lit up as he caught sight of the child, his disbelief giving way to tears.
“He’s a boy?” he whispered, approaching slowly. “Oh my God, he looks like an angel. I’ve always dreamed of having a son to carry on our legacy.”
He red hack to me, voice trembling,

ration took over as he grabbed my shoulders and shook me.
“It’s a misunderstanding, Sophia! I’ve changed! Please, just give me one chance. Just one!”
Tears welled up in his eyes, his pride completely broken.
At that moment, the door burst open
Ethan stormed in, his tall frame casting a shadow over Ryan.
Gently, he wiped away my tears and said, “Forgive him? So he and his mistress can try to kill my sister again?”
Ethan pulled out a folder containing all the evidence we had collected.
Among it was a video of me stranded in the flood, stumbling and crying for help, collapsing in pain as blood pooled around me while I clutched my pregnant belly.
Ryan’s face drained of all color as he watched.
Tears streamed down his face, and his voice trembled “Oh my God what have I done?”
1 couldn’t bear to watch anymore,
I tossed the divorce papers and roses onto the floor,

Ryan knelt, picking up the fallen petals as if trying to salvage something.
“We can fix this” he muttered, almost to himself. “We can go back to how things were.”
Ithan motioned for the guards to escort Ryan out of the room.
After that day, Ryan came to the hospital every day, begging to see me, but Ethan’s security team kept him away.
One day, it wasn’t Ryan who came but his mother.
She knelt before me, tears streaming down her face as she begged.
“Please, Sophia. Just see him once. Only once. Ever since the baby was born, he hasn’t been himself. He doesn’t eat, doesn’t work. He’s consumed by thoughts of you and the child.”
I felt nothing for Ryan, but 1 couldn’t turn away an innocent elderly woman.
As it happened, I was supposed to go home and pack what I was going to take with me.
Ryan wasn’t there when I got home, and as I began to pack my belongings, realized that the house was filled with bittersweet memories.
Every corner, every decoration had once been a symbol of the life I’d hoped to build with him.
Ryan Arrived shortly after, carrying bags of baby items.
