Story

The story

When her husband Mark announces a company posting abroad that requires a "paper divorce" for visa reasons, his wife Sarah recognises the scheme from a post she read online. She agrees, and the decree is signed. Mark empties their joint account and leaves, telling his parents and their young daughter Lily only that work is sending him away.

Then his father suffers a brain hemorrhage, and his mother discovers Mark resigned months ago and cannot be reached. Sarah confesses the divorce, sells her jewellery for the hospital bills, and cares for his parents, who declare her their own daughter and Mark dead to them.

Sarah has her own hidden savings, and she is waiting for the man who thinks he can come back and claim everything.

Opening excerpt

Years later, his parents gave me all their money and property.

That's when he came back, desperate to claim his inheritance.

He knelt before his parents, begging: "Mom, Dad, I'm your son! I'm your only heir!"

It started with a Reddit post I saw late one night.

u/Throwaway123: “I’ve got a girl on the side and want to leave my boring wife.

These are the opening lines of chapter 1. Keep reading →
