My Husband's Wife Is Never Me

We met at five. I "married" him at twenty-five. Adrian Chase guarded me for twenty full years.

I said I wanted the stars, and the next day he bought the naming rights to an asteroid.

Everyone said I was the love of his life.

Until the lawyer slid a document across the table. "Miss Winters, legally speaking, you are not married."

In the spouse column, a different name was printed clearly: Luna Sterling. My housekeeper's daughter.

Date of registration: the day after our wedding that shook the entire city.
