What We Had Was Never Real

On the seventh year of their marriage, Natania Wendell learns that her husband has a six-year-old son.She hides herself behind the kindergarten's slide as she watches Stephen Fost bend over to pick up a young boy."Daddy, it's been ages since you came to see me.""Be good, Andy. I've been busy with work. You need to listen to your mother, okay?"Natania's mind goes blank as she's frozen to the spot.The man and child have quite a few similarities, all of which tell her that the man who claimed he'd love her for all of eternity started cheating on her long ago!They were childhood sweethearts and had been in love for many years.Once, she even took a stab wound to the abdomen while saving him. Not only did she lose her baby because of it, but she also became infertile.At the time, Stephen had knelt beside her. His eyes were red as he said, "I don't care about any child. It's enough that I have you!"His trembling voice back then seemed to ring in her ears again as the scene before her crushed his promises to dust.
