When Lauren returns home to her flat in London late one night, she is greeted at the door by her husband, Michael. There\u2019s only one problem\u2014she\u2019s not married. She\u2019s never seen this man before in her life. But according to her friends, her much-improved decor, and the photos on her phone, they\u2019ve been together for years.
