Eight months pregnant, my mother-in-law screamed at me, “You stole my child!” Before I could react, my sister-in-law grabbed my neck and shoved me so hard my belly hit the table. I felt a sharp pain, and my water broke instantly. She laughed and yelled, “That’s your punishment!” I could barely breathe, but when my husband walked in and saw the scene… the look on his face told me that nothing would ever be the same. And that my revenge had already begun.
The pain was so sudden it took my breath away. A sharp stab shot through my belly just as my sister-in-law, Eliza, slammed me against the oak dining room table. The impact reverberated through my spine, and I felt something inside me tear. Eight months pregnant, I could barely stand.
