The moment I met Molly, I was smitten. She was stunning, heartbroken, and pregnant—abandoned by her boyfriend. I loved her fiercely and proposed, wanting to be there for both her and the baby.
But Molly hated being pregnant. When Amelia was born, she didn’t bond—she mourned her old life. I stepped in. Amelia became my everything.
For five years, we lived like that—until Molly said coldly, “I want a divorce. I’m over you and that kid. I wish I’d never had her.”
Soon she was back with Tanner, the guy who ditched her. Meanwhile, Amelia and I picked up the pieces. Until Molly reappeared: “Tanner wants to be a dad. Give me my daughter.”
I snapped: “She’s my daughter. I raised her. Where were you?”
In court, I feared the worst—mothers always win. But then Amelia stood up, tiny and brave: “Your Honor, I want to stay with my daddy. He’s my real mommy and daddy.”
The courtroom froze. The judge, moved, ruled in my favor.
As I held Amelia, tears in my eyes, I knew we’d be okay. Molly vanished into the crowd, and our story turned a new page—one of love, strength, and the bond we’d built together.
