"Seven years ago, I was also an eight-month pregnant mother, just like her," Rachel said, her voice cracking as she pointed toward me. "David married me for my family's fortune. When he embezzled company funds and I found out, he tried to force me to sign away my property rights. When I refused, he slipped abortion pills into my drink. The baby... did not survive."
