My scam marriage: It is real. Chapter 51 – Maybe not such a strong marriage.
[Clayton POV] Since Joshua saw me matching Ellen’s ward he was changed into another hospital. Apparently, I would have done some stupid thing if he hadn’t been moved. And I wished I had done that stupid thing, because now the same Joshua is telling me and my wife that the monster that put her through hell might get off with just a slap on the wrist. “Okay, Leah is resting, tell me you have a plan to counter this,” Joshua doesn’t reply, I know it is because his hands are tied. “I am sorry man, we might not have a way out of this,” Joshua says. “But we will try our best he is locked up okay, we can apply for the appeal to his sentencing after that,” Evelyn says, “I spoke to your uncle about this, and he will try and get his other friends who are in the industry to help out.” This seems like it doesn’t want to end, nor does it want to end well for us, whatever lucky star that fool was born under must be destroyed. “But we were able to get Mrs. Mule off obstruction of justice charg
My scam marriage: It is real. Chapter 52 – Guilt and disgust.
[Kaleah POV] “Hu…...” I feel like my world is crumbling, they support me so much and it is very overwhelming. I cannot stop the tears, this is too much of a curve ball in my life, I don’t think we can repair what we once had anymore. I don’t think he should continue to love and support me anymore; I should set him free; he should be free of all that is me. “Hey,” Clayton mutters. I quickly dry my eyes before facing him. I don’t want this to go on, I think I should just set him free. But Zoey loves him so much, I don’t think separating us would be good for her. “Hi, how was work,” I say, I miss him, I miss talking to him about his day, my day and everything else. “It was okay, a bit too troubling but nothing I can’t handle,” he says before locking his eyes with mine. “You went to the hospital today? Is there something wrong?” Ah, of course he knows, I had tried my best to not alert him about me going to the hospital, but it seems to be impossible to do so. “Oh…. Um… I went to
My scam marriage: It is real. Chapter 53 – Why divorce?
[Clayton POV] I looked at her eyes, they were red, she had been crying, I know this is probably the hardest decision she has ever made, but it is the wrong one. “No,” I say firmly, she has to have lost her mind if she thinks I am going to even let her go. “Please" she plead, "I am no good for you Clayton, you deserve so much better.” “I get to decide what I deserve,” I reply coldly, I feel so angry, she is hiding something from me and instead of telling me she is choosing the highway. “I am a disgusting woman, you are too great to even be with me, I have scars all over my body, I was assaulted, and I am filthy....” “Shut up,” I shout, I hate this having to argue to her about this. “I do not care who you are, but you have no right to talk about my wife like that, she is an amazing woman." I speak angrily. "She is a survivor, she is really kind, the most beautiful woman in this world, the kindest the sweetest and she is the smartest woman I know, she is even greater than I coul
My scam marriage: It is real. Chapter 54 – Heal together.
[Clayton POV] The next morning Kaleah woke up earlier than me, to make me a cup of coffee, it made my heart dance a little with happiness. Though it was hard for her to go back to the usual Kaleah, it was good to see her try a little to do so. “I will come pick you up for the appointment with the gynecologist, okay?” I tell her, she smiles before nodding. “This will be okay, we will go through this okay,” “I hope so,” I hugged her goodbye before stopping to say goodbye to Zoey. I need to vent this out to someone; I can’t talk to Conan about this he would never understand anything. Maybe Evelyn would know how to get through this. I had called her inviting her for breakfast, and she came with her husband of course. “So, what is it?” she finally asked after I had procrastinated for almost half an hour. I take a deep breath before telling her the current situation, she is shocked the more I explain. “Poor Leah, she must be going through a lot,” she sympathizes, this clearly floor
My scam marriage: It is real. Chapter 55 – Support from family.
[Clayton POV] Kaleah takes a deep breath, I can feel her hands tremble, “I…. um… I am pregnant.” The room is first silent, they are probably adding two and two together, grandmother opens her mouth to speak but she doesn’t. “Congratulations,” Conan says. “The father…...” Cyan tries to say but I cut her off at once. “We don’t care about that, we are keeping it,” I say firmly glaring at her. Conan doesn’t seem to care but grandmother on the other hand looks too shocked to even speak. “Grandmother?” Kaleah says, almost in tears. “Oh… Oh… child, don’t, I didn’t mean, I am just shocked, I will not be against anything that is your two’s decision okay,” she finally says, standing from where she sat to wipe the tears off her eyes. “Hey… we will support you okay, you do not have to be scared.” Melisa says; Cyan also walks to hug Kaleah. She cries as the two women hug and console her, maybe I should have told them sooner, because she would have gotten the support sooner. “Hey Clayton
My scam marriage: It is real. Chapter 56 – Old and new enemies.
[Clayton POV] Of course, I knew my gut feeling was not wrong, that darn therapist not only violated patient confidentiality, she also spread lies about my marriage. “What do you want me to do?” Cain asked, “you want me to pay Mimi Dawson again.” Pay her, for her just to ignore my warnings and continue on talking trash about my wife? “No, let us do this differently I want to destroy her this time, I want to crush her so hard she wouldn’t be able to recover.” “How do you think we can do that?” Cain seems confused, it didn’t seem we had any information to ruin this woman. “We will find a way,” I say determined, “I might already have a way to destroy her, in the meantime get me a slot on her show, I want to go clear up this whole mess.” Cain seems to not agree with my resolute, “what? Say whatever is on your mind.” “As much as I respect and trust you, I don’t think going to her show would be a good idea,” Cain says worried, “and I don’t think the madam would like it too.” “I have
My scam marriage: It is real. Chapter 57 – Angry husband's wrath returns.
[Clayton POV- Earlier that day] Cain had come to my office later telling me there was someone here to see me. Suzy Boyle here looking disorientated, Conan is quite fast with implementing things, for her to even come only two hours after Conan filed the lawsuit. “How can I help you, Miss Boyle?” I asked sarcastically knowing very well why she is here. “I…... I…… I got a call from the mental health association,” she mutters softly, still trembling. “Oh… is that so?” I ask still acting oblivious, “what does that have to do with me?” “I was told that you filed a complaint about my misconduct.” “Did I? I wonder why, you were an amazing therapist, slut shamed my wife for being sexual assaulted masking it as advice,” even speaking about it now makes me angry. “I … I apologize, that was not my intention, I just wanted to give advice to her. But they are going to take my license, I will lose my job, please sir don’t do this.” “Why? So, you can continue to shame other sexual assault su
My scam marriage: It is real. Chapter 58 – Cutting ties.
[Third person POV] It was all a bust, she had planned on living off Kaleah’s alimony after her divorce by claiming Ellen’s child, but it seemed the Becketts had no plan of letting her go. “What are we going to do now mother? I cannot stay in that dump any longer,” Layla grumbles. “Ugh…. They applied for a restraining order Layla, we will have to go back to that dump,” Crystal says deflated, all her plans to live lavishly done down the drain. [Meanwhile] “He was just spewing nonsense Fredrick, that man was just angry about the gossip……” “Dr Martin you can start with the DNA tests,” Mr. Dawson says angrily, “Honey please, that will not be necessary, trust me, he was just trying to start trouble,” Mimi pleads. She had been sitting with this secret for years, her husband Fredrick Dawson was in fact infertile. “Father…... this is…...” Candice tries to plead with her angry father, the humiliation she would feel if her father were just a mere camera man compared to her father who is

I am sorry I met my biological grandmother, and he told me about….” “Shut up Kaiden,” Zoey says angrily, “how dare you meet that man.” The boys were confused by Zoey and their father’s reaction, they felt a chill down their spine as their father glared at both of them. “Father?” Kaiden says, “I am sorry, I know you love mother, and her cheating is……” “Who is cheating?” their mother asks in a drowsy voice. “No one, go back to sleep I will discipline the boys,” their father says angrily. “Father, I think it is better to just tell them the truth,” Zoey says. “What truth? What are you talking about?” their mother asked. “Kaiden decided to meet Ellen Mule,” their father says in a growl. They had never felt so sacred, it was clear they knew about Ellen Mule and his family, it was clear they knew Kaiden was not a Beckett. But what hurt more was how their mother looked at them with fear, how tears started rolling down her eyes and how her legs gave o

Meanwhile the two women kept giggling as Kaiden was transferring money to them, it made Kai’s skin crawl because it felt like they were just using him. “Okay, now let us go rescue your father,” Crystal says happily, Kaiden frowned. “No, I will contact you soon, I need time to think,” Kaiden says making Kai heave a sigh of relief, at least he was not being reckless. “Oh… why is that?” Layla asked confused, “are you having second thoughts?” Kaiden looked at them deflated, he felt like these two women wanted to suck all his energy dry, he would have not mind helping free his father if everything didn’t seem too suspicious. “I want to think about it,
