Would he erase the scandal as he had in the past, or would he fight for her?

However, she hadnt expected Tyrone to issue a formal statement.

But that thought was short-lived.
Reading his statement, she felt an odd mix of detachment and resignation.

For the rest of their lives, people would monitor their every move, and every photo captured would lead to public humiliation and attacks.
Their unborn child would be condemned even before birth, unable to Live a public life.
Contemplating these realities, a wave of suffocation swept over Sabrina.
The marriage felt hollow.
If her child was destined to live in such conditions, she would rather face it alone.
