Chapter 2

2.

I rushed to pick Lily up, but she was suddenly gasping for air. She clutched her chest, her face pale as she whimpered about the pain.

My heart skipped a beat. I scooped her up and sprinted toward the exit. Lily was born with a heart defect; she couldn't handle intense stress or physical shocks.

Sienna had pushed her so hard. If anything happened to my daughter, I would never forgive her.

As I reached the parking lot, I saw Sienna and Garret getting into our SUV. They were actually kissing before she started the engine.

I was seeing red, but Lily was turning blue in my arms. "Sienna! I need the car! Lily is having an attack!"

I screamed at the top of my lungs. Sienna didn't even glance my way.

"Stop faking it to get attention!" she yelled through the window. "I'm not falling for your bullshit!"

She slammed on the gas and roared away. My heart shattered. Our daughter was dying, and she thought it was a trick.

I didn't have time to chase her. I begged a relative for their keys and sped to the nearest hospital.

While the doctors were fighting to save her, I called Sienna over and over. I must have dialed her twenty times before she finally picked up.

But it wasn't her voice on the other end. It was the sound of her moaning. She was in bed with Garret.

"Sienna!" I roared into the phone. I wanted to kill them both.

Lily was in the ER, and her mother was busy getting laid by her ex. I kept screaming her name, but all I heard were the rhythmic sounds of their betrayal.

My mother couldn't take it. she grabbed my phone and smashed it against the hospital floor.

"Divorce her," my mom sobbed. "As soon as Lily is out of surgery, you leave that woman."
