Emily’s long-awaited dream came true—she gave birth to triplet daughters, Sophie, Lily, and Grace. Overwhelmed with love, she called her husband, Jack, to admire them. But Jack hesitated, looking pale and distant. “Emily, I don’t think we can keep them,” he finally said. Shocked, Emily demanded an explanation. Jack revealed his mother had visited a fortune teller who warned that the babies were cursed and would bring his downfall.
Emily was furious. “They’re just babies! How could you believe something so ridiculous?” Jack, torn but unwilling to stay, walked away. “If you leave now, don’t come back,” Emily warned. He left, and she vowed to raise the girls alone.Weeks later, Jack’s sister Beth confessed, “My mom lied. There was no fortune teller. She made it up to keep Jack close.” Enraged, Emily confronted Jack, but he refused to listen.
Months passed. Jack’s mother, filled with guilt, apologized. “I didn’t think he’d actually leave,” she admitted. Emily, unyielding, replied, “Your fear cost my daughters their father.” A year later, Jack returned, pleading for a second chance. But Emily, stronger than ever, shut the door. “We don’t need you now.” She and her daughters had all they needed—each other.
