THE FORGOTTEN WIFE

Even I knew it was an archaic practice.

Still...

When my father informed me that I would be married to

a man that he needed to merge his business with - in order to save it - I agreed.



Of course, I agreed reluctantly until I realized exactly what all was at stake. The man I was to marry, he was even less keen to walk down the aisle with me, but he had his own risks to weight in all of this.



I didn’t expect a perfect marriage.

I didn’t even believe they existed.



What I didn’t expect was to say, “I do” and then be completely forgotten.
