I Asked for Divorce After My Husband Raised a Fish

After my husband, Jonathan Beckett’s childhood sweetheart, Pauline Morris, returned to the country and discovered he already had a child with me, she created a storm. Not long after, drunk on a mountaintop, she slipped and fell to her death.

The news broke my husband. For three days and nights, Jonathan sat outside the morgue, refusing to return home.

Everyone whispered that he must hate me now—that sooner or later, he would demand a divorce.

After all, I was nothing but the compromise he had made under family pressure.
