His Gratitude Was Just a Gilded Cage

He saved his fiancée from the six-foot-deep pool, but he never once looked back at me.

As the icy water rushed into my nose and throat, I saw him swimming toward the deck, holding Melanie Montgomery tightly in his arms.

Before my consciousness faded into darkness, I heard someone screaming from the poolside. "Blood! Oh my god, there's so much blood in the pool."

When I woke up, the doctor told me we arrived at the hospital too late. The baby was gone.

Sebastian sat by my bed, his eyes bloodshot, whispering "I'm sorry" over and over again.
