A Marriage Built On Lies

Synopsis

It was the day of my third wedding anniversary. Simon's mistress had a meltdown and attempted suicide. He ditched me and spent the whole day and night at the hospital, trying to comfort her. When he finally came back, he brought her with him. He handed me three so-called "gifts." First one, a villa out in the western suburbs, now under my name. Second one, 70 million dollars wired straight into my account. The third one, the divorce papers. He laid out his so-called terms like he was doing me a favor, totally unfazed. Simon said, "That girl's throwing a fit, so we'll just pretend to get divorced to keep her quiet. As long as you cooperate, I'll make sure your mom gets the best doctors money can buy." He added, "You'll always be my wife. No one else could ever take your place." I nodded, keeping my cool. But what Simon didn't know was, my mom was already gone as of last night. This time, I could finally leave for good.
