On our wedding night, exhausted, I asked Scott to postpone intimacy. He kissed me goodnight, but I woke to find him kneeling by the bed with a baby, Ella, introduced as his orphaned niece—a secret he’d hidden. Shocked, I struggled with this sudden disruption to our marriage.
Days later, I found a photo of Scott with a pregnant woman, contradicting his story about his stepsister Maya. Confronted, he admitted Ella was his daughter, a truth he hid fearing I’d leave. My trust shattered, I doubted our marriage’s survival.
A mysterious woman warned of Scott’s dangerous past, revealing his cult involvement and his ex-wife’s death. Terrified and newly pregnant, I chose to terminate the pregnancy for my safety. When Scott learned this, his rage led to his arrest for assault and murder.
Amanda, Scott’s ex-wife, offered unexpected support, helping me care for Ella and face the truth. Though scarred by betrayal, I’m determined to build a future for Ella grounded in honesty and love.
