At first, I didn’t want to tell this. It’s embarrassing. It’s scary. But now, I want to be honest, not because of guilt, but because of the truth that changed my life.
I am Ivy, twenty-three years old, I grew up in poverty. My mother worked doing laundry, and my father left when I was a child. My only dream then was to escape hunger, to live without worrying about where I would get money from tomorrow.
That’s why, when an older lawyer approached me, he Lawyer Pérez, and he told me:
“I have a client looking for a wife —legal marriage, nothing bad. In exchange for security and wealth. You don’t have to do anything but take care of it”,
…i didn’t respond immediately.
But when I saw my mother suffering in the hospital, I accepted.
The only condition: don’t ask anything about your past.
