At meetings, the directors groaned at the lovey-dovey couple, "Does she really have to be here?"
Evan shrugged. "Happy wife, happy life."
Soon her masks fell, and those who sneered bowed in awe.

Upon discovering she'd been a treasure all along, her ex-husband's regret drove him to pursue her. "Honey, let's get back together!"
With a cold smirk, Christina spat, "Fuck off."

One year into marriage, Yvonne realized she was nothing more than a substitute for someone else's memory.
When his true love reappeared, Julian tossed a divorce contract her way.
"She's back. We're finished," he said flatly.
The secret of her pregnancy stayed hidden. Yvonne fought the urge to cry, signed her freedom, and disappeared.
Five years on, cameras flashed as Yvonne, radiant in red, strode across a film festival stage with her bright-eyed son.
Julian's hands clenched as he watched.
"Sir, the boy's four and a half," whispered his shaken assistant.
