To Pay for My Daughter’s Education, I Agreed to a Very Unusual Proposal from My Boss – Story of the Day
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.
