CHAPTER 14

Desperate to hide the truth from Bobby, Sarah resorted to keep her pregnancy a secret, her mind filled with the implications of what it meant for their future. But as the days turned into weeks, the truth became hard to hide, the pregnancy symptoms were hard to hide.

It was on one such day that Bobby confronted her, his eyes cold and calculating as he pushed a box of pregnancy test strips into her hands. Sarah's heart junoed into her throat as she met his eyes, the burden of his constant observation pressing down on her like a crushing weight.

Without a word, Bobby watched as Sarah left to the bathroom, her hands shaking as she opened the test strips and prepared to face the truth again. With each passing second, her heart pounded in her chest, the silence of the room echoing in her ears like a deafening roar.
