My Best Friend Wants to Borrow My Husband for MarriageChapter 1

My best friend got pregnant before marriage and her boyfriend took off. So, she asked me if she could "borrow" my husband to marry her.

She promised that all she needed was a marriage certificate to get her child registered. The moment that was done, she said, she’d return my husband to me.

When I turned her down, she was furious.

"What's the big deal? It’s just borrowing your husband!" she snapped.

The next day, I found a marriage certificate in my husband’s briefcase.

The names on it were my husband’s and my best friend’s.

"Cass, can’t you lend me your husband so I can marry him for a bit?”

Starla White, my best friend, said this so casually, I nearly spat out my coffee.

“What did you just say?”

I stared at her, utterly shocked, my gaze drifting to her eight-months-pregnant belly.

Starla rubbed her stomach, throwing me a quick, dismissive look.

“Oh, relax. I only need your husband for a marriage certificate, so I can register my baby. As soon as that’s done, I’ll give him right back to you.”

The sheer confidence in her tone made my eye twitch.
