Chapter 7 - The Unsigned Marriage Contract
Beside the veil, Claire laid out a crisp, three-page legal document stamped with an official county seal.

Daniel stared at the top of the first page, his eyes catching the bold heading: State Marriage License & Registry Form.
"We signed that after the ceremony..." Daniel whispered, his voice cracking with fear.

Daniel’s head snapped up, his eyes wide with absolute horror.
"We were never legally married, Daniel," Claire revealed, her voice ringing with absolute victory. "This ceremony was nothing more than a show—a stage I let you build so I could tear it down in front of everyone you tried to deceive."
