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
My scam marriage: It is real. Chapter 59 – The thirst for intimacy.
[Kaleah POV] I was now two months pregnant, 7 months to go, my morning sickness had just started, and I curse the days I thought mother was exaggerating when she called morning sickness the wrath from hell. “Are okay now?” Cyan asked, we had not resumed our art shop preparations, it was going to open just after I give birth, but he had chosen to sell some pieces online before the physical shop opened. But due to me puking my guts out all morning, our preparations were halted as well. “I am sorry,” I speak, “I really think I am going to die.” “Please don’t enlist the fear of having kids to me, I am very looking forward to giving birth to a cute freckled ginger,” Cyan says. I could only smile bitterly, I also really would want to give birth to a brown eyes' cutie, be as strong willed as his father and maybe have my artistic abilities. “Hey, don’t give me that, you and Clayton are going to have more kids,” Cyan says. “I doubt,” Clayton and I’s marriage has been lacking a lot of i
My scam marriage: It is real. Chapter 60 – Some more wedding bells.
[Clayton POV] I felt like I was over the moon, well I have gone through many articles on how to know when your wife is ready to be intimate with you. Though I ignored the first advice which was to talk to her, turns out the first advice was the right one. “You look happy today,” Cain says, I have been a bit grumpy over the days. “Well, I talked to my wife, and we sort everything out,” I say enthusiastically. “I am happy for you,” Cain says, “well shall we start the day?” “Yes, please I have to go back to my family early today, I just want to spend some quality time.” Father was a family man; he would come home early every time to help mother cook or help her with taking carer of Cyan and me. I always envied him growing up, he had such an amazing family and was so happy, and now I am the happy man my father once was. I just hope to always be with my family and protect them, I don’t want to die like mother and father. “Um…. Clayton, may I have a word,” Cain says, “I know you wa
My scam marriage: It is real. Chapter 61 – Danger to the mother and child.
[Clayton POV] The fear washing over me, both my wife and child’s lives are probably in danger, I remember the article of the number of death during childbirth. I can’t lose her, not like this, not when we just gotten happier, “hang in there okay,” I tell her. We arrive at the hospital in the nick of time, Dr Martin has already has nurses ready to take my wife. “We will take it from here,” he says, wheeling her into the emergency room. They take an hour and a half, I cannot stop ping, the uncertainty of my wife’s life makes me really anxious and somewhat angry. ‘Can’t we have a happy life,” I cursed my luck, it seems each time we are happy a misfortune is thrown our way. “Mr. Beckett,” Dr Martin says coming out of the room. ‘How are they?” “I am afraid I have some bad news; we are going to have to remove the baby through C-section,” he says. “What?” I shout, “it is not her due date yet.” “Yes, it seems both the mother and child we are going to need to take the baby out, it w

[Cyan POV] The year had started on a good note, last year was a roller-coaster to everyone, Clayton and Kaleah mainly. They had the biggest ups and downs, but this year will be different, this year we will have our happy endings. Well maybe it is because I am getting married in July, but I feel like the tides are turning to our favor, we are going to be the happy ones this year. “Will that be okay for the budget?” Cain asks, he really is a careful man when it comes to his financials. “Don’t worry grandmother is paying,” I reassure him. I have always dreamed of my wedding, and having a husband to match my dream I am sure my wedding will be as I hoped. “So how about the art shop? Wouldn’t it gather dust if we focus more on the wedding?” “Don’t worry, I have Conan working on that, he has been on a responsible mature streak,” I praise, Conan was always the prankster of the family, grandmother was so angry when he dropped out of college out of nowhere. Leah has not been healing fro

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.

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,
