Chapter 4 - Part 3
That faithful weekend would plant the seed of hatred in Jen... she had convinced herself that perhaps she had finally found the elusive happiness she so desperately searched for.
That search resulted in as many disappointments as encounters; one of them resulted on her becoming pregnant; she had thought, wrongly that the kid would secure him by her side; it wasn't so...
