Leaving It All Behind

During her five years of marriage, Teresa Sutton has selflessly devoted herself without complaint. She raises her child, is respectful of her in-laws, and gives her husband ample personal space. Yet, her selfless dedication earns her a husband who keeps a lover on the side. He gifts her cars and houses. He arranges jobs for her. He kisses and hugs her. He even gives her piggyback rides. Hoping to make her straying husband settle down, Teresa decides to try for a second child. She thinks Cameron Langdon's willingness to have a second child with her means he acknowledges her identity as Mrs. Langdon. Instead, the reality is that her husband fears the risks of childbirth for his young lover, so he makes Teresa the breeding tool. Despite losing her husband, Teresa thinks she at least has her daughter for company. However, her own flesh and blood she raised has also become someone else's snuggle buddy. In the end, Teresa loses all feelings in an instant. She terminates her second pregnancy and is determined to get a divorce. She wants neither her husband nor her daughter. While Teresa waits for the divorce formalities to be processed, her husband, who once never came home, now corners her in the living room. "I thought we'd have a second child?"
