Blood in the Delivery Room: His Too-Late Regret

Elena Vance spent five years as a Blackwood wife. Her husband Adrian gave every ounce of his tenderness to another woman — Vivian Cross, his dead partner's widow. Prenatal checkups. Midnight vigils. A house stripped of every sharp edge. Elena? He didn't even know how far along she was. When Elena went into labor, Adrian carried Vivian out and left her alone on the floor. The hospital called seven times. He said he was with someone more important. Before surgery, Elena signed two documents — a consent form, and a divorce agreement. Her daughter was born healthy. Her parents took her home. She vanished. When Adrian finally realized what he'd lost, it was too late. But Elena was holding a knife all along — the truth about Vivian, about Marcus's death, about the family's darkest secrets.
