My Husband Faked a Divorce with Me for a Rich Girl

"Let’s get a divorce, Elodie. My company went bankrupt. But don't worry, it’s only a fake divorce. I don’t want to drag you down with me. This is the only way I can protect you."

My husband, Darien Eugene—the man I had loved for ten years—suddenly asked me for a divorce. A fake one, he said. So that the creditors would not come after me.

He looked so resolute, so sure of himself. I had no choice but to agree, my tears silently falling.

To help him pay off his debts and eventually marry again, I took on five part-time jobs.
