Leaving the Man Who Loved Me to Death

When Melanie, my husband Ethan's first love, found out I was pregnant, she was the one who lost her mind.

She came pounding on our door in the middle of the night, sobbing, and shoved me to the ground. That was how I lost my baby.

When I woke up in the hospital bed, Ethan handed me a three-leaf clover necklace.

"Each leaf represents a wish," he said. "Whatever you want, I'll make it happen. Consider it my way of making things up to you."

"Just drop the charges against Melanie."

I agreed.

My first wish was for Ethan to cut all ties with Melanie.

He agreed at first.
