He Sacrificed Our Child for His Muse’s Lies

Summary

I found the ultrasound printout tucked into the breast pocket of Gabriel Thorne’s crisp dress shirt.

It was Celeste Price’s. And where it should have listed the father, it simply read, “Gabriel Thorne, Spouse.”

Gabe has always had a constellation of women orbiting him, but Celeste, The High School Sweetheart, the perfect Muse he lost and then found again, was the one he was pathologically obsessed with.

He saw me holding the flimsy paper and offered a casual, dismissive explanation.
