Faux Vows, True Desires

Now, even though they were hitched, Cecilia still ended up with the short end of the stick.

Truth be told, given Cecilia's personality, if they were to divorce, it'd probably take him ages to woo her back. Man, winning back his wife was no walk in the park.

But he couldn't just sit back and watch Becca kick Cecilia out, let alone stand Becca laying a hand on her.

Who would have thought that Becca, who usually seemed so sweet, could actually hit her own kid?

"Mr. Martinez, get up," Becca gestured for her husband to help Owen up.

"We can take our time to talk about your divorce from Cecilia. Don't worry, we won't touch your money."

Cecilia's mom was hoping they'd split.

After reading the divorce agreement her daughter wrote and hearing her explanation, Cecilia's mom couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

Even if Owen was reluctant to divorce because he had feelings for her daughter, Becca still felt bad for her.

This marriage had to end.

After the divorce, whatever Owen wanted to do, she couldn't control.

The bottom line was that she couldn't let her daughter suffer!

Even if it meant playing the villain, she would make Owen agree to the divorce.

An hour later, Owen left the Yates' place with a bunch of bodyguards.

He was now holding a black card that Cecilia had returned to him.

After agreeing to the divorce, Cecilia started to square accounts with him. She didn't ask for any compensation. Instead, she returned all the money he had given her. Except for the hundred grand he paid her the first time he hired her to be his fake girlfriend, she gave all the other money back to him.
