and I'd be broke and not able to get any money from him to take care of the baby.
“He was going to leave us to fend for ourselves and struggle. I never would have thought it of him, but I heard them talking about it, and the whole thing was about money, all along. You should have heard him. He sounded like he didn't care at all, like it was business. Even when I broke up with him and gave him his ring back, he didn't say he was sorry or anything, he just kept trying to get me to come back, and I know why. He wants me back so he can get his money.
“He doesn't have time to trick anyone else into marrying him and having his kid; I'm his only hope or he loses everything. His birthday is eight months after the wedding. He was pushing it with me. He was so close to the cutoff time, but now that I'm gone, there's no way he will be able to find a wife and have a baby in time to get his money and save his house. I hate to see anyone lose their birthright like that, but he deserves to lose it!"
Lena shook her head. "I can't believe it. I just can't. This whole time, everything has been a lie. That's the worst thing I ever heard.”
Brittany cried some more and then wiped her face. "I can't believe it either! I was such a fool! How did I not see that? None of it! He never told me he loved me. Not once. Remember back when we were first getting involved and he said he didn't want a serious relationship, that he didn't want to commit to me, and then all of a sudden, he pulls out this huge diamond ring and asks me to marry him?
“I should have known then! I should have been every bit as suspicious as you and Darren. You two saw that he was full of crap, but not me. No... I believed him. I just knew he was falling for me and telling me the truth. I knew he was putting me first and making me the number one priority for the rest of his life, and I was just so amazed that you couldn't see it. Then there was the prenup, and did I see it then? No. Did you try to tell me? Yes. I never saw it. I was too focused on all the love."
Lena rubbed her head. "Honey, please don't be so hard on yourself. You were conned. You were tricked. You had no way of knowing that it was going to go that way. How could you have known he was using you in some elaborate plot and scheme? He fooled all of us!" she said with a deep frown. “He's just a dog who loves money more than people."
Brittany leaned up and looked at her. "He didn't fool you. You said he was up to no good. You knew it! I just didn't listen to you. I let myself fall so much in love, and look where it got me. I haven't left my bed in two days and I've done nothing but lay here with a broken heart and a hurting head. I'm such a wreck!"
Lena looked down at her and nodded. "You do look like hell, and this certainly explains why I haven't heard from you in a couple of days. You should have called me right away, though, honey. That's what friends are for. They are there for you during the hard times as well as the good times. I'm always going to be here for you. You are just going to have to get up and shower, though, because I can't let you lay in bed and drown in your own agony. You are a mess. Now, come on."
Lena made her get up. She climbed out of bed and the first thing she did was throw up. Lena helped her clean herself up and made her take a shower.
Brittany came back out of the shower clean but still in misery.
"I'm getting tired of throwing up," Brittany said miserably, as she wrapped her robe around her and climbed into her bed again.
"What do you mean getting tired of it?" Lena asked curiously, as she walked into Brittany's closet and pulled some clothes out for her friend to wear.
"I threw up the other day when Darren brought me chocolates," she said quietly as she stared off into space.
Lena frowned. "Chocolates don't make you sick. Did Darren eat any of them?" Lena asked her.
She nodded. "Yeah, he ate a few of
