It seems like nothing is ever good enough for him, even though the house is spotless. I never expected him to use my pregnancy against me. I'm three months along, and he had been so supportive since finding out he was going to be a father. He showers me with affection and takes care of me when I'm sick or have cravings in the middle of the night. He's become the loving Alan I fell in love with in high school.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e But now, the Alan I've known for the past five years is back. He's under a lot of pressure due to a big promotion, so I understand why he's acting this way. I'm just exhausted and don't understand why I have to attend this office party. He never wanted me at these events before, so why now?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"Alan, I'm sorry. I didn't think you'd want me to potentially embarrass you on such an important day.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"Do you really think I'm that stupid, Camilla? I know you don't want to go because you want to bring your damn boyfriend over tonight, while I'm trying to build a better life for us and our baby,\" Alan accuses me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"Alan, I don't have a boyfriend. I never have and never will. You're the only one for me.\" I try to calm him down because when he gets like this, I usually end up bedridden for days from his abuse, and I don't want to risk anything happening to the baby. I may have reservations about bringing a child into this life, but I want nothing but safety for our baby.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The look in Alan's eyes is terrifying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"Run, Camilla!\" My instincts are screaming at me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e But I couldn't move my legs fast enough before Alan grabbed a handful of my hair, forcefully pulling me towards him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"Where do you think you're going, bitch? Did you really believe you could talk to me like that and get away with it?\" he spits out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"No, Alan, I'm sorry! I wasn't thinking. I know you're stressed out. Let me get dressed, and we'll go. I apologize for being grumpy. It must be the pregnancy hormones,\" I plead, hoping he'll let me go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.51 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 03, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47265367359737,"sku":"9798231698134","price":21.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/8Sr6J4ztPR9798231698134_ea5e6037-11fc-4373-a53d-3aabd492c403.webp?v=1768843029","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/love-hurts-paperback-3","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
