Chapter 1: The Husband I Bought

I married a homeless man out of spite for my parents — a month later, I came home and couldn't believe what I was seeing.

I'm 34, and for years my parents had been obsessed with the fact that I still wasn't married.

They constantly tried setting me up with men, mostly because they were desperate for grandchildren.

Then they finally went too far.

They told me that unless I got married before turning 35, I wouldn't receive a cent of their inheritance.

And I only had a few months left.

I was furious.

Then one day, I passed a homeless man asking for money.

He looked rough, but there was something kind about his eyes.

And suddenly, I had an idea.

I stepped up to him and asked if he'd marry me.

I made the arrangement perfectly clear.

It wouldn't be a real marriage.

I'd give him a place to live, clean clothes, and money.

In return, all he had to do was pretend to be my husband.

His name was Stan.

And to my surprise, he agreed.

I bought him new clothes, and three days later, I brought him to meet my parents as my fiancé.

They were absolutely thrilled.

Not long after that, Stan and I got married.

Then, just a month after that, I came home and got the shock of my life.

I stood there with my eyes wide, struggling to process what I was seeing.
