The Marriage That Never Was Real

"When I went for my prenatal checkup, I filled in my mafia husband Enrico Salvatore's information in the spouse column. However, the doctor told me, "The system shows no record of you ever being married. You're unmarried."I froze, unable to believe it. "How is that possible? We got married five years ago. Please check again."The doctor pulled up the system records again, and only one line appeared on the screen: [Marriage Registration: None.]At first, I thought the hospital had made a mistake. Then, I overheard Enrico talking to one of his men. "Isabella's the only one in my heart. I'll give her everything else she wants. But Luisa gave me a daughter. For the sake of the family's bloodline, I have to register our marriage and give her that status. Isabella can never find out about the registration."At that moment, I finally understood.The small wedding five years ago was nothing but a cover. We never registered. There was no legal marriage. Even the child I was carrying had no legal standing. It was all an elaborate lie he had crafted.Since none of this ever truly belonged to me, I would just leave."
