He Shielded His Pregnant Secretary at Our Wedding, So I Took Back My Billion-Dollar Dowry
On my wedding day, the officiant had just asked me whether I would take this man as my husband.
Then my fiancé's secretary shoved her way onto the stage, heavily pregnant, sobbing that her baby couldn't grow up without a father.
The whole audience was in an uproar.
Adrian grasped both of her hands, turned to look at me, and kept his voice mild.
"Vivian, she's stood by me for five years. That has to count for something."
"The baby's already seven months along. I can't let him come into this world without a name."
"You'll remain Mrs. Locke and we can treat her as part of our family. The three of us will build a harmonious life together."
I looked at the big backdrop screen behind him, emblazoned with both our names side by side, and I started to laugh.
"Adrian, did you forget?"
"For this wedding, the hotel is mine and the guests are all those I invited."
"Even that tux you're wearing was paid for with the card I gave you."
I pulled off my wedding veil and dropped it onto the floor at his feet.
"You want to give her a name? Fine."
"First, cough up every last cent you owe me."
