Gardenias And His Last Goodbye

At my own engagement party, my fiancé, Franco, abandoned me. He left me standing alone in a room full of guests to rush to the side of another woman, Katina, the one he truly loved.

He called me a gold-digger, a parasite clinging to his family's name, and accused me of faking an illness just to get his attention.

But he never knew the truth. He never knew about the secret I carried-a terminal leukemia diagnosis I received just two days before he humiliated me.

He never knew that the night he called a drunken mistake, the night he spat on with disgust, had left me pregnant with his child.
