About You Left Me in Labor… Now Die in War Novel
"My husband, Eric, was traveling abroad on business when a terrorist attack occurred.
I was contacted by the embassy and asked to go and intervene.
Eric's family and friends also called, and others offered to help him come back for free.
I had just gotten out of the maternity ward, but I turned them all down.
After all, Eric had seen on the news that his ex-girlfriend Aria, who was a war correspondent, was in the middle of a horrific scene and had left me behind to fly to make sure she was safe.
It was then that I asked Eric, covering my dripping amniotic fluid stomach:
“Are you sure you want to abandon your wife and daughter and fly to that war-torn place? If you go, Eric, I will never take the consequences for you.”
Eric took all of our bankbooks and passports and snarled at me, “You and the baby won't die for a while, she could die the next second.”
“You're just having a baby of your own, haven't you always been strong?”
With that, he slammed the door and left.
Later, he sent me countless distress messages in the war zone, but I only sent him one picture back.
--That was the divorce papers I had already signed."
