Elena’s POV

Since finding out I was pregnant, Daniel had been treating me like a fragile doll. He would open doors for me, pull out chairs, and even try to feed me. At first, it was sweet and thoughtful, but soon it became suffocating.

He would make me sit down and rest, even when I wasn't tired. He would bring me water and healthy snacks, even when I wasn't hungry. He would even try to dress me like I was a child.
