Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 326

All eyes were on Cecilia.

Cecilia wanted to bolt, but it was too late.

Her dad barked, "Cecilia, get your butt down here!"

Usually, he would call her Cecilia warmly, but now he called her name coldly. Clearly he was pissed off.

Cecilia slowly came downstairs.

"Dad, mom, grandpa," Cecilia greeted quietly in front of her family.

Her father handed her the divorce agreement and yelled, "What on earth was happening? When did you marry Mr. Martinez?"

"Mr. Martinez claimed you tricked him, and you owe him. Was he the liar, or was it you?"

Cecilia carefully explained, "Dad, hear me out. It wasn't what you think. I didn't do anything to Mr. Martinez. He wasn't a straight shooter. You can't trust his words."

"Here's the thing. When Lucy was in trouble, I was freaking out and asked Mr. Martinez for help, which left me in his debt. Mr. Martinez's grandpa forced him to get married, so he asked me for help and then we ended up in this contractual marriage. But he tore the contract, so I can't show it to you."

Cecilia turned her back and yelled at Owen, "Owen, you've crossed the line!"

"So you're saying you guys have been married for a while?"

Cecilia nodded.

Becca chimed in, "How did you get the marriage license? You never asked me for the required documents. How did you get married? Did you get a fake marriage license?"

Cecilia took a couple of step back and replied in a whisper, "I sneaked into your room when you weren't paying attention, stole the necessary documents, went to the marriage registry, and put the documents back. Mom, I knew I screwed up, don't be mad. That broom was for cleaning, not for hitting me."

Seeing her mom holding up a broom, Cecilia quickly dodged.

Owen, desperate, stepped in front of her, facing an angry Becca. He said, "Mom, don't hit Cecilia. Hit me if you have to. I can take it."

Becca didn't dare hit him.

After several attempt of not hitting her daughter, she yelled in frustration, "Cecilia, you've lost all respect for us. Keeping such a big secret and stealing documents to get married!"

"Now you're holding a divorce agreement. Are you regretting it and want a divorce?"

"Mom, I won't divorce Cecilia!"

Becca glared at him, "I didn't ask you."

This marriage was forced by debt and pressure, and her daughter was wronged.

They must get a divorce! Owen was a bit scared because Becca was exceptionally fierce tonight.

However, he could understand.

Anyone would be pissed off if they found out their daughter got married behind their back.

"Mom, I was just helping Mr. Martinez with his problem. Now that his problem is solved, I think our agreement should end. Besides, his girlfriend came to me and offered me 500k to leave him. Our marriage was fake to begin with, so if we divorce, he can be free again."

"Cecilia, I've broken up with Ruby. I don't have feelings for her anymore."

Cecilia said to Owen seriously, "That's your business. Owen, I've repaid my debt to you. Let's get a divorce. We can part way amicably and not be awkward when we met in the future. If you kept this up, we'll be like strangers when we meet."
