In their 6-year marriage, Nora never succeeded in making Austin fall in love with her. Upon learning of her stage-IV cancer, she only begged for ten months. "After ten months, I will divorce you.

Later, they tell me that Rowena has fled overseas and has been sold to Corovia, a country up north. They say it's karma, and I believe them.
It isn't until six years into my marriage that I see the woman who's supposed to be suffering in Corovia. She's nestled in my now-husband's arms, heavily pregnant.
Sighing, she says, "If I hadn't lost my temper and made that mistake six years ago, it wouldn't have been Marisol who married you.
"It's a good thing you, Mom, and Dad all took my side. Otherwise, I would've been sent to prison by that fraud. I bet that damn imposter never once imagined that I've been living under her nose all these years, or that I'm carrying your child.
"Once I give birth, you can just find an excuse to adopt the baby. Then that fraud can spend the rest of her life as the nanny to my child.
"Thank you for everything you've done these past years, Thaddeus."
Her loving gaze makes Thaddeus' cheeks flush red.
"Don't say that. Marrying her was the only way to keep your reputation intact. As long as you're safe and happy, everything I do is worth it."
As it turns out, the husband I believe to be my true love has been lying to me all along, and my parents have only just been covering for their real daughter, too.
In that case, I don't want any of them anymore.
