Getting Away From Fake Marriage, I Met True Love
After four years with Killian, I got pregnant.
I took the pregnancy test and my ID to a private hospital to set up a file, but when entering insurance information, I was stopped by the blonde administrative specialist.
"Mrs. Smith, the system shows there is a problem with your marital status."
She looked at me awkwardly.
"Your marriage to Mr. Killian is not legally effective."
I was stunned and instinctively retorted, "That's impossible. We registered in Las Vegas, all the procedures were..."
"There is only an application record, no final signed effective document."
The specialist turned the screen around and tapped the keyboard a few times.
"Moreover, Mr. Killian's legal wife... shows another lady's name."
That name was like a thorn, piercing fiercely into my retina.
Elena.
Killian's personal secretary, and also publicly recognized as the benefactor who saved his life in the Alps avalanche five years ago.
I felt all the blood in my body flowing backward.
How could it be her?
