Chapter 1 After five years of marriage, Lisa Davis finally got pregnant. She rushed to get her birth permit, planning to give it to her husband David Green as their fifth anniversary gift. But the system kept rejecting their marriage certificate as invalid. "Miss Lisa, are you sure this is real?" After over a dozen error alerts, the clerk eyed her strangely. Lisa frowned. "We've been married five years. It can't be fake." The clerk retried and pushed the documents back. "Check at the Civil Registry Office. Using fake certificates is illegal. Singles can get birth permits now." Lisa understood the implication and went next door. When she emerged, her face was deathly pale, all joy vanished. The official's words hammered her heart: "Both you and Mr. Green are unmarried. This marriage certificate is forged..." Their five-year marriage... was fake! She and David grew up together. Everyone knew he adored her, showering her with life's finest things. Why give her a fake certificate? Lisa immediately flew to Andorra where David was on business. She needed answers! At his hotel, a wedding was underway. Andorra had unique marriage laws-lifelong unions ending only in death. Pushing through the crowd toward the elevator, Lisa glanced at the groom-and froze. There stood David, beaming in local attire: leather jacket, skinny jeans, knee-high boots, beret, and a red waist sash. "Congrats on the wedding, David!" "Gotta admit, you throw epic weddings both home and abroad!" "But David, are you serious about Helen? That girl from nothing?" Someone asked, "Isn't this bigamy? Didn't you marry Lisa years ago?" "David never actually registered with Lisa," another explained. "Waited for Helen to grow up. Legally, he's stayed single all five years!" "Damn! David knows how to play." Lisa stood petrified in the crowd, blood turning to ice. She thought she'd misheard-until David's voice cut through: "Helen deserves this. She nearly died donating blood to save Lisa and chose to live in Lisa's shadow. All she wants is a lasting marriage. I can give her that." David spoke slowly, each word deliberate. So that was why. Tears welled in Lisa's eyes. The fake certificate-David had arranged it himself. Five years ago, Lisa Davis got into a car accident. Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
