While Emma is sitting at her desk one afternoon, she gets a surprise delivery. When she opens the box, she finds a cake with an unsettling message and the pregnancy test she forgot to hide. Will she go home and explain the truth to her husband or let him walk away?\n\n\n\n

I was at my desk, half-typing an email, half-daydreaming about what to make for dinner when the office delivery guy appeared at my office door. He held a bright pink bakery box in his hands, grinning from ear to ear like he was in on some inside joke I didn\u2019t know about.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood afternoon, Emma!\u201d he said enthusiastically. \u201cThis is for you!\u201d\n\n\n\n
\u201cThank you, Nico,\u201d I said, blinking as he handed me the box.\n\n\n\n
I hadn\u2019t ordered anything. There were no birthdays or work celebrations planned. So, who would be sending me a cake? My stomach fluttered with curiosity. My husband, Jake, was one of the head bakers at a fancy bakery in town. So, maybe this was just a little treat from him.\n\n\n\n

The office buzzed with its usual energy, phones ringing, keyboards clacking, people laughing in the break room, everyone just wanted to get out for the day. But in that moment, it all faded into the background. I slowly untied the ribbon, lifted the lid, and froze.\n\n\n\n
Scrawled across the top of the cake in black frosting were four words that turned my blood cold:\n\n\n\n
I am divorcing you.\n\n\n\n
I stared at the words, blinking in disbelief. But there was more!\n\n\n\n
Placed neatly on the cake, next to the damning message, was a positive pregnancy test.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

My heart dropped into my stomach.\n\n\n\n
Jake had found it. He\u2019d found the pregnancy test that I\u2019d thrown into the bathroom trash this morning, the same test that I was supposed to pick up and bring with me, easy to hide from Jake.\n\n\n\n
But I was late, and I had forgotten. Now, this? The cake\u2026 this was Jake\u2019s response? Divorce. A cake with a slap-in-the-face message.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I gripped the edge of my desk to steady myself, I could feel a panic attack almost rising to the surface. This wasn\u2019t just some cruel joke. Jake thought I had cheated on him.\n\n\n\n
Why else would he send this?\n\n\n\n

I closed the box, my mind racing.\n\n\n\n
Jake had been told years ago that he was infertile. And he believed that there was no way this child could be his. He thought I\u2019d betrayed him, that I\u2019d gone behind his back after everything we\u2019ve been through.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
