Wedding Near, Fiancé Took Another Secret Vow

Synopsis

A week before our wedding, William Scott, who hadn't come home all night, showed up at our place with his childhood friend, Madeline Blake. They took out their marriage license from the bag. I thought it was a prank, and was about to say, "Come on, it's not April Fool's Day." But when I opened the license with shaking hands, right there, clear as day, were William and Madeline's names. "Stop joking around. This isn't funny." Madeline said, looking genuinely apologetic, "Sorry, Hazel. My family was pressuring me to get married again, so I ended up drinking with William and the guys last night. "We got the marriage license this morning, to keep her family off our backs for now." William was slumped on the couch, rubbing his forehead, still looking hungover from last night. "Don't worry. We'll file for divorce right away. Once the waiting period's up, I'll marry you." I turned to leave, but William blocked my way.
