When My Marriage Becomes Their Entertainment
On the day Owen Mercer and I get married, I place our marriage certificate beside our candlelit dinner.
Just as I'm about to take a picture and upload it to social media, Owen suddenly says, "This certificate is fake."
I freeze.
A woman's startled voice comes through his phone, "Hey! Why did you tell her so soon? You ruined all the fun!"
Owen frowns in frustration. "She's been completely clueless this entire time. Is there really any reason to keep pretending? Fine. You win the bet, Ms. McCoy. Are you satisfied now?"
But my post has already been shared on social media. Everyone is sending their congratulations to Owen and me, celebrating that we have finally tied the knot after seven years together.
The woman on the other end leaves a sarcastic comment, just like how she used to bully me back in the day. "Wow, look at you two finally making it official! So when's the reception? Hehe!"
After a moment's thought, I respond, "Next week."
