My time at my parents' house was comforting, but the pain in my stomach and the emotional turmoil within me were constant reminders that I needed to take action. My mother, ever the voice of reason, suggested I see a doctor about my abdominal pain and a marriage counselor to address the issues with Sean.One morning, as I sat at the kitchen table with my mom, she brought it up again. “Carmen, you need to see a doctor about that pain. And I think talking to a marriage counselor might help you sort out your feelings about Sean.”I nodded, knowing she was right. “I’ll make an appointment,” I said, trying to muster a smile.The next day, I went to see Dr. Allen, a trusted family physician.

I couldn’t let Sean take the win. Tsk.“Thank you all for coming,” I began, trying to keep my voice steady. “I know there have been concerns about my absence, and I want to address them. I’ve been dealing with some personal and medical issues that have required my attention, but I am committed to this company and to leading it into the future.”The board members listened quietly, their expressions neutral. I knew I had to convince them that I was still capable of leading Whitney Corporation.“I understand that my absence has caused some disruption,” I continued. “But I have been working closely with my team to ensure the company continues to operate smoothly. I am confident in their abilities and our collective vision for the future.”One of the b

The days after the court's decision felt like a never-ending twilight. The weight of being removed from my position at Whitney Corporation and the devastating news about my infertility plunged me into a deep, suffocating depression. It felt as though the very foundation of my life had crumbled beneath me, leaving me adrift in a dark sea.Each morning, I struggled to find the strength to get out of bed. The vibrant energy that had once defined me seemed to have vanished, replaced by a gnawing sense of hopelessness. My mind was a tumultuous storm of thoughts, each one pulling me deeper into despair.

The news of the court agreeing to hear our appeal had injected a new wave of hope into my life, but I knew I needed to stay grounded. The path to reclaiming my position at Whitney Corporation was just beginning, and I had to keep my emotions in check. Therapy was a crucial part of my journey, and I trusted Dr. Ross to guide me through the next steps."Carmen, it's good to see you," she said as I settled into the plush armchair across from her. "How have you been?""There's been some progress," I replied, my voice steady but uncertain. "Mr. Harrison called yesterday. The court has agreed to hear our appeal.""That's wonderful news," Dr. Ross said, her eyes reflecting genuine happiness for me. "How do you feel about it?""I'm excited, but also nervous," I admitted. "It's a big step forward, but I know it's going to be a tough battle. And part of me wonders if I'm truly ready for it.""I'm glad to hear that," Dr. Ross

That evening, I couldn't shake the conversation from my mind, so I decided to call my best friend, Jake, and meet him at our favorite bar.He was the kind of friend who would give it to you straight, no sugar-coating. As I entered the bar, I spotted him in our usual corner booth, nursing a beer and watching a baseball game on the TV mounted on the wall."Hey, man," I greeted him, sliding into the seat across from him."Sean, good to see you," he said, offering a smile. "How've you been holding up?"I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "It's been a rollercoaster, Jake. I had a long talk with Carmen today. It went better than I expected, but it's stirred up a lot of emotions."Jake raised an eyebrow, taking a sip of his beer. "Better than expected, huh? What's the latest on that front?"I leaned back, taking a moment to gather my thoughts. "She's consider
