When The Lie Felt Like Love

Synopsis

Everyone in Havara City knew that the rich young heir, Matthew Grant, had married an eighteen-year-old beauty and that he spoiled her beyond reason. For three straight years, he'd been the picture of devotion: no scandals, no rumors, no other women. In the fourth year of their marriage, his young wife, Emily Shaw, found out she was pregnant. The positive sign on the test made her heart race with excitement. She couldn't wait to tell Matthew and went straight to his office. But just as she reached the conference room, she froze. A woman's moans drifted out from behind the door. Emily stood there, stunned. Through the crack, she saw Matthew passionately kissing another woman. His voice was rough and low, the way it always was when he whispered sweet things. "Baby, I've waited four years for this. Now that I finally have you, I feel like I'm losing my mind." The woman gasped softly, "You married a college girl, Matthew. Don't pretend you've been waiting for me." Matthew kissed her harder, his voice urgent against her lips. "That marriage certificate was canceled the day of the wedding. She was never really my wife. You were the one I wanted all along. "My parents faked your death and forced her on me. But now that you're back, I don't need a substitute anymore. Claire, you're the only one I've ever loved."
