When Words Fall Short, Love Runs Deep

Summary

My husband's adopted sister was supposed to bring my prenatal vitamins. Instead, she handed me abortion pills. I took the dose, and the bleeding began almost immediately.

Ruby blinked innocently but offered no apology. "I'm always playing pranks on Julian, like slipping him laxatives. It's just a habit. I didn't mean for this to happen."

She tilted her head. "It was just a joke, Helena. You're not mad, are you?"

I tried to lunge at her, but my body gave out and I collapsed.
