On the day I was supposed to marry my CEO boyfriend, William Grant, I rushed to the city hall, only to find he'd already married his dream girl, Cecilia Henn. My face went livid as I stared at the marriage license in their hands. Suddenly, Cecilia broke down and began to beg me piteously. "I'm a single mom," she sobbed. "I only pretended to marry William so my child could have a complete family." William grabbed her arm and pulled her behind him protectively, eyeing me warily, like a mother hen protecting her chick. He snapped, "It's just a marriage license. Who do you think you're giving that look to? "Alex keeps begging Cecilia for a dad. What do you expect her to do? As a mom, she can't just ignore that, can she? "Once Alex's old enough to understand, I'll divorce her. Will it kill you to wait a bit longer?" He held up three fingers. "If you behave, I'll marry you in three years," he said. I replied coolly, "No need." This five-year relationship? I was done.
