Mia was speechless. Josh looked dazed. He
looked at me, his eyes filled with a
manufactured sadness. “Olivia… It’s all my
fault. I didn’t protect you…”
I scoffed. “Who are you trying to fool? Mia is
guilty, but so are you. I was in the hospital for
ten days. You didn’t call, not once. You didn’t
text. I sent you our baby’s death certificate.
You didn’t believe me. You used my mom’s life
to punish me.”
He wasn’t stupid; he just didn’t care. My
miscarriage wasn’t hard to discover. But Josh
remained clueless. Even if he’d forgotten my
due date, even if Mia distracted him, it was no
excuse for not contacting his pregnant wife for
almost two weeks.
Josh’s gaze drifted to the two coffins. He said
nothing, just stared. Mia suddenly stepped in
front of him, blocking his view. “Don’t look! Why
are you looking? You should only look at me!”
Josh frowned and pushed her away. “Shut up, if
you don’t want to die.”
Mia landed on the floor, her face contorted.
“Josh! You pushed me… for her?!”
Josh ignored her, walking slowly towards me,
and knelt. He begged like a dog. “I’m sorry. I’m
so sorry…”
I felt nothing. “An apology won’t fix this.”
Josh looked up, helpless. “I’ll leave Mia. I’ll buy
your mom and the baby the best burial plots. I’ll
be with you, always. We can have more
children… Please forgive me.”
Ethan kicked him in the shoulder. “Ask the
く
internet for forgiveness first.”
Confusion replaced the anger in Josh’s eyes.
“What do you mean?”
Ethan tilted his chin towards the livestream.
camera in the corner. Thousands were
watching. The comments were flying. Josh and
Mia’s faces turned white.

That afternoon, the livestream hit the top
trending charts. News outlets and gossip
accounts went wild. Josh and Mia were dragged
through the mud. Any fan who dared defend
them was attacked and driven off the internet.
Mia lost hundreds of thousands of followers
overnight, faster than any celebrity scandal.

The next day, Mia issued an apology, claiming
she didn’t intend to cause public distress and
had acted irrationally due to the loss of her
child. She offered to compensate me
generously for emotional damages. Her
statement dripped with fake sincerity, ending
with a tag to my social media handle.
My comments section was flooded with users
with Mia’s profile picture, offering fake
apologies. [So sorry for your loss!] [Forgive Mia;
she has depression, she didn’t mean what she
said.] [It’s the man’s fault, not Mia’s! You’re
both victims!]
