After a while, Mark left the room to get food, leaving Melissa alone. This was Emma’s chance to escape. She started yelling, “Melissa! Melissa! Please, I’m stuck! I’m Mark’s wife! Help me!”
Startled, Melissa eventually found the hidden door and opened it. Emma stumbled out, her face wet with tears.
“You’re his wife?” Melissa asked, horrified.
“Yes. He didn’t know I was in here. Please, I need your help,” Emma explained the situation, revealing her pregnancy and Mark’s betrayal. Melissa, realizing she had been deceived too, agreed to help.
A month later, Emma had everything in place. She and Mark sat down for dinner as if nothing was wrong. But Melissa had secretly gotten Mark to sign the divorce papers—without him realizing it.
“Did anything important happen at work today?” Emma asked innocently, smiling.
“No, nothing much,” Mark replied.
“Is that right?” a familiar voice called from the back door. Melissa stepped into the kitchen, causing Mark’s face to go pale.
“What’s she doing here?” he stammered.
“I invited her,” Emma said, pulling out the signed divorce papers. “You just signed these today. Congratulations, Mark. We’re getting a divorce.”
Before Mark could react, Emma continued. “Oh, and don’t bother trying to fight it. We have an iron-clad prenup, and you can’t afford a lawyer on your salary. Now, get out.”
Defeated, Mark packed his things and left, leaving Emma and Melissa to form a close bond in the aftermath. When Emma’s baby was born, she introduced her friend with a smile.
“This is Adeline Melissa. Say hi to Auntie,” she said, and the two women shared a smile, knowing they had overcome a difficult chapter in their lives together.
