Chapter 12 - THE FALSE MARRIAGE
Daniel needed the appearance of marriage to activate spousal medical rights.
The trust did not require love.
It required a public wife, a household, and an heir.
Our wedding was staged around forged identity records.
The license connected him to Rachel’s legal identity while photographs showed me.

He admitted the punch.
