Fake Death, Two Families: I Walked Away and Married Anew
Married for five years, I'm known as the woman with the perfect husband. Alexander Foster is tall, strong, endlessly passionate, and people love to joke that we can't keep our hands off each other.
Then he goes on a mission one day and never returns.
I fall apart. I try to end my life six times, and six times someone drags me back.
On the night of the sixth attempt, I overhear my mother-in-law, Anna Greyson, whispering to the man everyone believes is Alexander's younger brother, Daniel Foster.
"Alexander, how long are you going to keep hiding this? Mia has tried to kill herself six times because of you."
Alexander's voice stays calm. "Mom, before Daniel died, he asked me to take care of Lily. She's fragile, and now she's pregnant with my child. If she learns the truth, she won't survive it."
And that's when the truth hits me.
My husband isn't dead at all. He's been pretending to be his own younger brother and plans to have a child with Lily Harper under that lie.
After crying until I can barely stand, I contact Margaret Warren at the matchmaking agency.
"About that blind date you mentioned. I'll take it. And I want the wedding as soon as possible."
