The Fake Marriage: My Billionaire Vengeance

Maiga Ardeni Romance

“Chloe went to the City Clerk's office to request a certified copy of her marriage certificate to celebrate her fifth anniversary. But the clerk looked at her with a mix of confusion and pity, stating there was no record of her marriage to Francisco Sterling. Her official legal status was simply unmarried. In a daze, she tracked Francisco to his private club, only to overhear his friends laughing through a cracked door. "Five years, and he's still got her wrapped around his finger with a fake marriage certificate." The nightmare only worsened. She realized the special vitamins her doting husband lovingly fed her every night before bed were actually birth control pills. He had deliberately kept her barren, while his mistress, Kasey, had already secretly birthed his four-year-old son. His entire family had orchestrated this cruel joke, using Chloe to maintain a pristine public image while planning to eventually discard her and hand the Sterling empire over to Kasey. Five years of absolute devotion, her desperate yearning for a family, and her entire reality were built on a meticulously crafted lie. They hadn't just stolen her marriage and her youth; they had drugged her and stripped away her dignity without a second thought. That night, instead of crying, Chloe smiled warmly and pretended to swallow the pill. The moment Francisco turned his back, she spat it out. She picked up an encrypted phone, dialed the ruthless billionaire Damon Beaumont, and accepted his dangerous alliance to burn the Sterling family to the ground.”
