The Real Me

The Real Me

1.~~~~

Angelina Pov:-
I can’t breathe. Seven years of my life—six spent loving him, one spent being his wife—and suddenly it all feels like a lie.
Today, my whole world broke.
FLASHBACK
I went to the marriage department like any normal wife would, just to request my marriage certificate with David Miller. I carried myself with confidence, with pride — I was his wife, I thought. But the clerk looked at me with confusion, then pity, and finally told me the words that still ring in my ears
Someone
Someone
"There is no registry of your marriage with David Miller. But he does have a legal wife — her name is Sophia."
I froze. My breath stopped. For a moment, I couldn’t even understand what he was saying. It felt like the ground disappeared under my feet. I just stood there like a fool, clutching my documents, my face burning, my body numb.
My voice trembled as I leaned toward the clerk, clutching the counter as though it could hold me up.

Maybe… maybe there’s a mistake.
I whispered, almost pleading.
Angelina Rodriguez

I am David’s legal wife. Please check again. My name must be there. We had a church wedding, everyone knows… please, look again.
The man glanced at me with pity, then turned back to his screen. He typed again, slower this time, as if to give me hope. My heart pounded so loud I could hear it in my ears. I prayed silently

"Lord, please, let it be a mistake." *Muttered silently*
But then he shook his head.

I’m sorry. There’s no record of your marriage. David Miller is legally married to Sophia Miller. That’s what the system shows.
My hands went cold. The papers I held slipped slightly, and I gripped them tighter to stop myself from collapsing. My lips quivered as I forced a smile, pretending I didn’t hear him right.

Angelina Rodriguez
I’m… I’m his wife
”I repeated softly, almost to convince myself more than him.

We exchanged vows before God… in front of family, friends. I wear his ring. I share his home. How can the law say I’m no one to him?
The clerk looked down, avoiding my eyes. That silence was louder than any words.
I stood there, feeling everyone’s gaze on me, my throat dry, my chest hollow. For a moment, I wished I could disappear.
I wasn’t just heartbroken. I was humiliated.
My hands were trembling but I couldn’t even cry. My heart screamed, but my lips stayed silent. Inside, I was collapsing, but outside, I stood frozen, humiliated.
I silently walked out of that department with my head spinning, my heart shattered into pieces. I had gone in as a wife… I came out as nothing.

Why did he do this to me? Why make me believe I was his only one, his true wife, while on paper he belonged to someone else? Was I just his cover, his mask, his lie? *mumbling
His wife is Sophia jones and I'm no one
No one to him no one to his life
FLASHBACK END
I'm silently sitting on my bed
Now.
Seven years flashed before my eyes — six of loving him, one of being his wife before the world. Our church wedding, our vows, the rings, the blessings… all of it replayed in my head, but suddenly it all looked like a staged play. Before God and people, I was his bride — but before the law, I am nobody.

After exactly 30 mins
Ting ting notification sounds come
The information he provided is
they were married legally the day before our church wedding.
I blinked at him, the words stabbing through me like knives. The day before my wedding?
My lips trembled as I whispered
Angelina Rodriguez
Angelina Rodriguez
No… that’s impossible. That’s the day he was with me, preparing for our vows…
I'm tightly clutching on my phone
a printed copy of marriage certificate— the seal, the signatures, the cold proof. My husband’s name right beside hers. My name… nowhere.
There are also some travel records attached. It seems David and Sophia took trips together in the past year… flights booked in both names, hotel receipts.
I stand up abruptly not know what I'm seeing on my phone. That's looking so foreign to me
I felt my knees weaken. My fingers shook as I slide through the all evidence which proves how I much I'm being fooled in love. And then I saw them — photographs. David with Sophia. Smiling. Arm around her. Beaches, airports, restaurants. All the while he told me he was away for ‘business trips
The world spun. My chest ached as though my heart was tearing itself apart.

The day before he put a ring on my finger before God, he had already bound himself to another woman in law. And then, while I believed I was his only one, he traveled with her, laughed with her, lived a secret life with her. *muttered silently*
I felt sick. Betrayed. Used. Everything I had believed for seven years turned to ashes in one folder of documents and photos.
I stood there, clutching the evidence, the tears blurring my vision, the humiliation crushing me.
Angelina Rodriguez
Angelina Rodriguez
Who am I now? His wife in the eyes of people… or just the fool who was blinded by love, while he lived as another woman’s husband in truth? *crying*
Now I'm feeling sick of myself being an idiot in love for f*cking seven years.

*harshly wipes her tears*

Angelina Rodriguez
Now it's enough ❄️*cold voice*
Standing in front of my wedding photo and I stared silently on it,
Angelina Rodriguez
Angelina Rodriguez
I think you forget about me who I'm ❄️*looking at the picture of David*
Then suddenly my phone rings again of with one evidence more of his cheating
I stared silently and reads it and it says
"Sophia Miller is pregnant"
Angelina Rodriguez
Angelina Rodriguez
haaa *scoff
David now you get to know that
"the real me"
