Married In His Lies

Synopsis

Charlotte had been married to Edward for two years when she decided it was time to start trying for a baby. She went to the relevant office for a consultation, and after filling out her personal information form, the staff member typed a few things into the computer. Then she looked up at Charlotte with this weird expression on her face. "Ma'am, the system is showing that your marital status is single." Charlotte froze for a second, then laughed it off. "That can't be right. My husband and I have been married for two years now. Could you check again, please?" The staff member went through everything carefully one more time, and when she looked up again, she actually seemed embarrassed. "I'm sorry, ma'am, but there really isn't any marriage registration for you in the system." Charlotte frowned. "Then could you look up my husband's record?" "Your husband's marital status is also showing as single." Charlotte felt like someone had stuffed cotton in her ears, and everything around her started buzzing. The entire city knew she was the woman Edward treasured above all others. They'd shared a bed for three years, and now someone was telling her that neither of them was actually married?
