Five Years as a Stand-In Wife, Then He Chose my Sister

For five years, I wore a ring without ever standing at the altar. My husband, Damien, always said a ceremony didn’t matter—that love was enough. I believed him… right up until our so-called anniversary.

On my way home from the market, I passed City Hall—and my world stopped.

There they were. Damien. And Bianca.

My sister, who had vanished five years ago.

“Are you sure we can get this certificate?” Bianca whispered. “What about my sister, Talia? You’re still legally tied to her.”
