My Best Friend Took My Leg, My Baby, and My Love Chapter 06

My Best Friend Took My Leg, My Baby, and My Love Chapter 06

I looked at Sophie Carter again.

She was standing behind Ethan Sterling.

Tears streamed down her face as if she were the one who had been hurt.

If this had happened before…

If I had seen her crying like this in the past…

I would’ve softened immediately.

No matter what she did, I would’ve hugged her.

I would’ve forgiven her.

But now…

All I felt was disgust.

“Still pretending?”

“Sophie Carter, keep pretending.”

“Pretend like you care about me.”

“Pretend like you’re innocent.”

“Pretend like you’re the most pitiful person in the world.”

Sophie shook her head desperately.

“No.”

“Nattie, that’s not true.”

“I really do care about you.”

“You care about me?”

I raised my voice.

“Is that why you stole both of my husbands?”

The moment those words left my mouth, both Sophie and Ethan froze.

Ethan stared at me in disbelief.

He grabbed Sophie’s wrist.

“What do you mean?”

“How did she steal both of your husbands?”

“What exactly did you do?”

I looked at him and laughed coldly.

“Ethan Sterling, you really thought Sophie loved you?”

“She doesn’t love you.”

“She just loves taking what belongs to me.”

“My first husband, Adrian Walker…”

“She was the one who ruined our marriage.”

“She seduced him.”

“She even deliberately left a lace bra in his pocket so I’d find it.”

The color drained from Ethan’s face.

He stumbled back two steps.

Maybe, in his eyes…

Sophie had always been pure.

Innocent.

Someone fragile who needed protection.

But no one could keep believing that performance forever.

And Ethan was no exception.

Sophie still tried to defend herself.

“Nattie…”

“How can you say that?”

“Do you have any proof?”

“Proof?”

I laughed.

“Honestly, I trusted you both too much.”

“You could’ve hidden this forever.”

“But you…”

“Sophie Carter.”

“You were the one who told me everything.”

Her face stiffened.

“You forgot, didn’t you?”

“A few days ago, you bought a cross necklace online.”

“You said you wanted to make amends.”

“The person who sold you that necklace…”

“was me.”

The strength seemed to leave Sophie’s body.

She collapsed onto the floor.

For once…

she couldn’t say a single word.

My eyes moved to her stomach.

My voice became colder.

“I still remember four years ago.”

“I was pregnant with Adrian Walker’s child.”

“I trusted you more than anyone.”

“I told you all my secrets.”

“I cried to you whenever I was hurt.”

“I treated you like my own sister.”

“But what did you do?”

“You secretly seduced Adrian.”

“You slept with him while I was pregnant.”

“You destroyed my first marriage.”

“You forced me to end my pregnancy.”

“You ruined my health.”

“Back then…”

“Did you ever think about our friendship?”

“After I ended the pregnancy, I was at my weakest.”

“You held me while I cried.”

“You told me you would stay with me forever.”

“You promised you would never let anyone hurt me again.”

“At that time, I really believed you.’

“I thought even if I lost my marriage…”

“I still had my best friend.”

“I gave you all my sincerity.”

“I did everything for you.”

“I treated you like family.”

“But how did you repay me?”

Ethan stood there silently.

His face became more complicated with every word.

“When Ethan proposed to me, I was so happy.”

“I thought I had finally found someone who would love me for the rest of my life.”

“You smiled and congratulated me.”

“You acted like you were happy for me.”

“But the moment you turned around…”

“You set your sights on him.”.

“Again.”

“You destroyed my marriage.”

“You crushed my trust.”

My voice trembled.

Not because I was weak.

Because the pain had been buried too deeply for too long.

“What did I ever do to you?”

“Where did I fail you?”

“Why did you have to destroy my life again and again?”

“Why did you have to push me to the point of no return?”

My chest rose and fell heavily.

The more I spoke, the harder it became to breathe.

Sophie collapsed on the floor.

She cried harder.

She kept shaking her head.

“No, Nattie…”

“That’s not how it happened.”

“I didn’t mean to.”

“I really didn’t mean to.”

“I couldn’t control myself.”

“I was hurting too.”

“I felt guilty too…”

“Guilty?”

I laughed.

My eyes were filled with contempt.

“Your guilt was getting pregnant with my husband’s child after I lost my baby?”

“Your guilt was hurting me until I became like this…”

“Then pretending to care for me while watching me suffer?”

“Sophie Carter.”

“Your guilt is cheap.”

“And disgusting.”

me.”

“You stole two men from me.”

“You destroyed two parts of my life.”

“You left me with a broken body and pain I’ll carry forever.”

“And now you’re telling me you didn’t mean to?”

“How fake could you be?”

“How disgusting could you get?”

Sophie lay on the floor, crying uncontrollably.

I took a deep breath.

I forced myself to calm down.

Then I looked at Ethan.

“I’ve already prepared the divorce settlement agreement.”

“It’s on the bedroom table.”

“Sign it as soon as you can.”

Ethan suddenly looked up.

His eyes were full of panic.

“Nattie…”

“Please don’t divorce me.”

“I love you.”

“We’ve been together for so many years.”

“Can’t you forgive me this once?”

I smiled.

A bitter smile.

“Forgive you?”

“If I forgive you…”

“Can you give me my leg back?”

“Can you give me my baby back?”

“You can’t.”

My eyes moved toward Sophie’s stomach.

“And besides…”

“Did you forget?”

“Sophie Carter is carrying your child.”

After saying that, I turned away.

I didn’t care what their expressions looked like.

I didn’t care what they wanted to say.

I opened the door.

And I forced them to leave.
