The Price of Losing Her
On her wedding anniversary, doctor Aria is assigned an unexpected patient: Abigail, her husband’s first love. And standing beside Abigail at her appointment is none other than Aria’s husband, Michael. That day, Aria makes two life-changing decisions. First, get rid of the husband. Second, get rid of his baby. She calmly ends her marriage and terminates her pregnancy, then disappears from Michael’s life without ever telling him. When Michael finally learns that Aria left him—and that she had been carrying his child before—he is forced to face the truth about his feelings. But by then, Aria has already started a new life. And in the end, all Michael can do is watch the woman he lost walk into a future without him.
Story Guide
Episode 1
Aria is six weeks pregnant and ready to surprise Michael for their third wedding anniversary. Instead, she ends up treating a patient at her own hospital: Abigail, Michael's first love, thirty-eight weeks along, with Michael hovering at her side calling her "Abby" and fussing over how fragile she is. A colleague even compliments the "couple" and predicts they'll make wonderful parents. Aria keeps her face calm and says nothing. That night she makes her decision: she is done trying to melt Michael's cold heart, and she will not bring a child into a broken family. She quietly asks a doctor to schedule an abortion for seven days from now.
Episode 2
Aria tells Michael the marriage is over. He brushes it off, explaining that Abigail just got divorced and moved back, that they're only friends, that she's heavily pregnant and can't manage alone—never noticing his own wife is pregnant too. Then he leaves for an emergency meeting at the airline. Aria accepts a medical exchange position in Paris and is told she must be there in two weeks. Alone, she apologizes to her unborn baby, then recalls Michael's old promise to take her to Paris for their honeymoon and give her the most beautiful diamond ring in the world. He forgot all of it. From now on, she says, she'll go wherever she wants on her own.
Episode 3
Michael thanks Abigail for staying up late to prepare a new home for "our baby," calling it the beginning of a new life—while Aria watches him tear down one home and build another for someone else. Guilt flickers: he admits he forgot their anniversary and promises dinner to make it up. Aria agrees, quietly calling it the last promise between them. That night he cancels to work late at the airline. Later, Aria runs into the two of them out together, and when Abigail bumps into her, Michael snaps at Aria to be careful because Abby is pregnant. Aria fires back: didn't he say he was working late? Abigail doubles over in pain, and Michael rushes her to the hospital.
Episode 4
Aria comes home feverish. Michael brings her medicine, but she refuses—she's a doctor, and she knows she can't take it. When he presses, she snaps that she doesn't need him lecturing her on medicine. He assumes she's just angry about the missed dinner. Then his phone rings: he's calling someone to ask what a pregnant woman with a cold and nausea can safely take. For a moment Aria wonders if he's finally figured out her pregnancy—but no, it's for Abigail. Aria sends him medication guidance and tells him she's busy. Left alone, she asks herself why Michael married her at all if he can't let Abigail go. She doesn't want this fake love anymore.
Episode 5
In the kitchen, Michael coaches Abigail through cooking—flatten it, spray the oil, sprinkle the flour—gentle and patient in a way Aria never gets from him. Then he tells her to pick the best of everything: their child deserves the best possible start, and whatever the baby wants, he'll provide. Abigail teases him about what their baby might look like, wondering aloud whether it will have his eyes and her nose. It's cozy, domestic, and completely oblivious. Elsewhere, Aria is counting down the days, holding a secret neither of them knows: the child Michael is dreaming about isn't the only one on the way.
Episode 6
Michael muses about having a baby with Abigail, imagining his eyes and her nose. The irony lands hard: the first time he ever talks about wanting a child is the very day he's about to lose one. When Abigail says she feels unwell, he drops everything to take her to the hospital—even as Aria calls needing him and he says the airline needs him instead. Aria asks him a pointed hypothetical: if they had a daughter, what kind of man would he want her to marry? Someone who loves her completely and puts her first, he says. And if he still had feelings for his first love? Divorce. If there were a baby? She should get an abortion—he'd never want his daughter raising a child alone. Aria tells him to remember those words and never regret them.
Episode 7
At the hospital, Aria is told the baby is perfectly healthy. The doctor asks if she's sure she doesn't want to talk to her husband first. "No," Aria says, "he's already dead." Elsewhere, Abigail feels the baby kick and Michael takes her in to see the doctor, still playing the devoted partner. Aria finally faces Michael and tells him whatever tied them together is gone now. Then she says goodbye to her child—"Goodbye, little one." The next moment, an emergency: Aria is bleeding severely after a miscarriage. Staff call for her family. Michael learns the truth far too late—Aria lost their baby, and he never even knew she was pregnant.
Aria's story doesn't wait for Michael to catch up—watch how she walks away and builds a life on her own terms.
