When I opened my eyes again, I was in the hospital.[]


    IV in my left hand, my daughter sleeping peacefully beside me.[]


    “Babe, you’re awake! I came home this morning and the neighbors told me you got taken away in an ambnce. Scared the shit out of me–I rushed right over.“]]


    “You must be starving. I got your favorite–In–N–Out burger and fries. Eat up while it’s still warm. See? Your husband’s got your back.”


    Tyler looked so proud of himself. It was almost funny.


    By the time I got to the hospitalst night, I was so dehydrated from the fever I could barely function.]]


    If Caleb hadn’t heard something was wrong in my voice and called 911, who knows how bad it could’ve gotten.]]


    The hospital called Tyler all night. He ignored every single call.[]


    Meanwhile, Madison was posting non–stop on Instagram-[]


    Tyler feeding her at some fancy restaurant, them doing shots together, grinding on each other at the club.[]


    I looked up at him:


    e.“I


    “Tyler, I’ve told you like a million times–I’m allergic to the sauce they use.”


    Tyler froze, then scrambled to exin:]


    “Shit, babe, I didn’t mean to–I just…“]]


    “You just forgot. Because it doesn’t matter, right?<b>“</b>]


    Iughed bitterly:]]


    “But In–N–Out is Madison’s favorite. Only her stuff matters to you.“[]


    “Last year when I was pitching that client, Madison insisted on tagging along.


    Then she used the guy of being creepy, and you got in his face without even asking what happened. Almost cost us the entire contract.“[]


    “I’m the one who had to grovel and apologize–even though my stomach was killing me.]


    That’s what made my ulcer worse andnded me in surgery.[]


    And where was your precious ‘bestie‘ then?“]


    “We’ve been married four years, Tyler.[]


    <b>hire </b>Trendlup? That Whe’s the Baby No) Enjoy Your Cros Soulinami!


    I can’t even count how many times this has happened.[]


    You can baby her all you want, but I’m done cleaning up your messes.[]


    I want a divorce<b>.</b>“]]


    Tyler’s eyes red with anger:[]


    “Sophie, so I forgot about your allergy–do you really have to be such a bitch and bring up every little thing?“[]


    “Yeah, I missed some callsst night, but you’re a grown–ass woman.]]


    Can’t you handle your shit without having a total meltdown? Now you’re all sick and pathetic and can’t even watch our kid right.”


    “I’m not even pissed at you, so what gives you the right to talk about divorce?!“]


    Before I could respond, the hospital room door flew open.[]


    Madison rushed in and literally threw herself on Tyler, grabbing his ear:[]


    “Found you! Daddy’s been looking everywhere. Don’t tell me you forgot it’s our twenty–year bestie anniversary? Everyone’s downstairs waiting.“]


    Tyler immediately wrapped his arms around her waist, totally whipped:[]


    “Baby girl, be careful–don’t hurt yourself. Have I ever forgotten our day?<b>“</b>[]


    He shot me a cold look:[]


    “Just forget what you said before. I got shit to do. Chill out and get your head straight,“[]


    <b>I </b>grabbed his arm and stared him down:[]


    “Tyler, I’m literally hooked up to an IV. You’re gonna bail on me and the baby?“]


    Madison rolled her eyes and whined:[]


    “Ugh, being sick doesn’t make you special. Tyler, <b>if </b>you ditch me right now, we’re so over! I’ll never speak to you again!“]]


    Tyler immediately shoved me away:[]


    “Your left hand’s got the IV, your right hand’s fine<b>. </b>Other moms handle their kids no problem. Quit being such a baby!“]


    He turned and headed for <b>the </b>door with Madison:]


    “Threatening to never talk to me <b>again</b>? <b>Maybe </b>daddy needs to teach you a lesson.“[]


    Madison giggled:[]


    <i>“</i>Okay fine, <b>you’re </b>being a good boy so go ahead<b>! </b>Careful though, you’re gonna rip my jeans off.“[]


    Tyler kept yfully smacking her butt:[]


    “Even better–way more fun that way.“]


    The other patients stared at me like I was the world’s biggest loser.


    Soon after, Caleb rushed over with his nanny from overseas.[]


    He handed my daughter to the nanny and started cursing:[]


    “This is how that piece of shit Tyler takes care of his wife? He’s a fucking CEO and can’t even hire you help?“]]


    I’d brought up getting a nanny before.[]


    Tyler said you can’t trust strangers, worried they wouldn’t care enough. Said he’d help me with the baby.


    But from the day she was born till now, he’s never changed a single diaper. Just hangs out with Madison and his crew 24/7.


    When I didn’t respond, Caleb looked at me with pure heartbreak:]


    “Sophie, whatever you decide to do, I’ve got your back.“[]


    “Look how skinny you’ve gotten. Actually, the mall I invested in just opened today. Once you’re done with your IV, let me take you to get some real food.“[]


    The second we walked into the mall<b>, </b>I spotted Tyler at a lingerie store nearby.]]


    One arm around Madison<b>, </b>using his other hand to help her pick out underwear.


    Their friends were cracking jokes:[]


    “I remember Madison used to be so worried about being t–chested<b>, </b>she’d make Tyler measure her like every day. Dude knows her sizes better than his own measurements.“]]


    “Tyler, be <b>real </b>with us–didn’t that drive you crazy back then?“[]
