My Husband Faked a Divorce with Me for a Rich GirlChapter 1
"Let’s get a divorce, Elodie. My company went bankrupt. But don't worry, it’s only a fake divorce. I don’t want to drag you down with me. This is the only way I can protect you."
My husband, Darien Eugene—the man I had loved for ten years—suddenly asked me for a divorce. A fake one, he said. So that the creditors would not come after me.
He looked so resolute, so sure of himself. I had no choice but to agree, my tears silently falling.
To help him pay off his debts and eventually marry again, I took on five part-time jobs. One of them was working as a housekeeper for the Daelan Family—the wealthiest family in the city. I poured every ounce of strength I had into paying off what he owed, hoping that one day, I could stand beside him again.
Then one afternoon, while I was cleaning the skylight, I slipped and fell. I broke my leg and found out I was pregnant.
Darien came to visit me every day at the hospital.
I held onto those moments like lifelines, believing that even if I had nothing else, at least I still had his love. I wanted to tell him about the baby, but before I could utter a word, a video arrived on my phone.
