To Pay for My Daughter’s Education…..


As a single mom, my life was a whirlwind of responsibilities, from grocery shopping to juggling my kids’ schedules.

One day, while managing everything, I received a call from St. Helena Academy about my daughter Lily’s tuition grant being revoked. Devastated, I struggled to focus on work, knowing I had to find a solution to keep her enrolled.

Desperate, I turned to my son Nathan, who proposed an unexpected solution: a fake marriage. His grandmother required him to be married to inherit the family estate, and in return, he would cover Lily’s tuition. Though stunned, I agreed, knowing I had no choice to protect Lily’s future.

Arriving at Nathan’s grandmother’s estate, I was taken aback by the fairytale setting and Nathan’s genuine interactions with Lily. As we prepared for the wedding, I began to see Nathan in a new light, realizing he cared deeply for both of us. The lines between our fake arrangement and real emotions started to blur.

However, the night before the wedding, I overheard Nathan’s grandmother belittling him and threatening disinheritance. Heartbroken, I left with Lily, but Nathan soon found us and declared his love for both of us. In that moment, our fake marriage transformed into something real, and I realized I was no longer just surviving—I was truly living, and Lily was finally home.
